Have you actually been to Europe lately? It's nothing like that at all.

Yes and you could have just advocated for global nuclear war because nothing matters anyway. Good show.

Casting friendship as "emotional co-dependency" is surely the height of combined individualism and cynicism. You may have no time for friendship, but lots of people do.

I find it most ridiculous because ultimately war is hugely, hugely expensive. It doesn't make much sense.

So strange to meet a German ultranationalist who claims to not even be German. Truly a unique experience, you may even be the only such person who exists on the planet. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

I don't regret my choice, I met a nice woman here and I have a good job. But I don't adopt the unambiguous slave mentality that you advocate and I have my eyes more open about the country's problems than you. >Venting on

The problem is your argument boils down to: you are a guest in Germany and you are completely disposable so shut the fuck up or fuck off. It's a take one hears loudest from the AfD and old German Boomers, the same sort shouting at you

It's clear it's going badly now yes. That's obvious. What you're confusing is the situation now with the situation in the future. I wish I could say it's an easy mistake to make, but it's not. Maybe you c

It's not stupid, they're literally exporting it. And I have to add, it's a whole new level of Americentrism that I have never seen before to define the word "export" in terms of the distances between US states.

This is just the just world fallacy in a post. If you lived in Germany you would understand that statements like this that you wrote: > doesn't make you a special snowflake worthy of the German society to turn itself upside down fo

It's not too early to judge, it's going badly right now, that's clear.

You're literally saying he shouldn't be listened to because he's a defector. You're not engaging with anything he said, just writing him off for being a defector. That is really stupid.
433.
by twixfel 4y ago
Elsewhere in this thread you say he shouldn't be listened to because he's a defector and would naturally be opposed to the USSR. So you're doing exactly the same thing that you criticise other people for.
434.
by twixfel 4y ago
By your logic, we shouldn't ever listen to any defectors, ever. That just doesn't make any sense.

Incoherent nonsense. If you cannot comprehend why simply dismissing shit behaviour with "he's only human" is moronic then that makes you quite special.

I think the point is that the person in question was in fact doing work. You've taken Elon Musk's words at face value and as gospel, which does say something about you if not the gentleman who lost his job.

That's not true, there's such a thing as forced an unforced errors. What you're saying would suggest all errors are fundamentally alike, only differing in severity, but this is of course not the case. I don't know of a

I think you're rather clearly attacking a strawman here. For you to speak of toxic juvenility for my apparent forbidding of praise for individual actions of governments, whereas I specifically used the term "broader ... political

Alternatively they "sweat the details" to such an extent that they even understand this aspect of the law and therefore know that it isn't necessary and don't do it. The m&m thing isn't relevant here, the situa

OK if by "positive about China" you mean statements like "I like Chinese food" or "Chinese history is very interesting" then obviously this not an issue. I assumed support for the CCP and the broader Chinese p
441.
by twixfel 4y ago
It's certainly much safer to be pro-China in the West than pro-West or pro-USA in China, if that makes you feel any better. So don't complain too much about how difficult life is for you as a supporter of the CCP.

Well Russia's list is longer than Belgium's on that page, so I don't really see your point, unless you wish to argue that Belgium also wasn't really a colonial power?

by twixfel 4y ago
>Can you point to at least one historical analysis which identifies Russia as a colonial empire? Is this even a debate? Do you need an analysis also showing that the UK was a colonial empire? The second bit is trivial, it was called th

Yes, but most Russians living in Estonia are post-1945 colonists or descendants of post-1945 colonists. I had imagined that the bulk of the population have a long and storied history in Estonia, but they don't. For example, no ethnic

Oh well anyone who argues USA and NATO more untrustworthy than Russia is not a remotely serious person.

This is what happened in WW2. Nobody was willing to negotiate with Hitler because it was apparent that he was utterly untrustworthy, as evidenced by his repeated aggressions through the 30s before WW2 finally broke out. It's the same

You're coping. It wasn't "my first thought". I read the whole article and came away thinking "pretty sad and strange man". You can't take it with you, and his solution is apparently to try and escape de

The idea that every single very, very rich person is necessarily "living" is cope as well, albeit in the other direction.

It depends what he does. Maybe he's living a lot less than a lot of much poorer people. Maybe his obsession with death stops him living at all.

Genetics has to play a role. I'm 30 and I've never had a single cavity. I was a slob for the first ~18 years of my life and barely brushed at all because I knew I didn't really need to. Now I brush once a day, but never be
