Originally posted by Technologist Oh, I just figured you were always apprehensive about the future.
I'm always in the wind so to speak, but i'm closing this chapter of my life. letting go and moving on. i took things to a point here where the problems were spiraling, compounding upon themselves. not going to take care of the old man anymore. wasn't good for either of us, but he can parachute out knowing he's got benefits whereas i'm left with my name all fucked and a relationship to repair. and a lot of bitterness. but we'll all be okay and nothing is really a crisis. i just wish i could have done better for him.
whatever, c'est la vie.Just wondering if it was a good trip?
It was a fucking wild ride, i don't want good times exclusively when i do them though, i usually want visceral terror. i didnt get that this time but they helped take me out of context and refocus.
I wanted to die for a while but now i want to cultivate, and i will.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

One day not too far in the future, you will stop posting. Nobody will notice, yet the world will be a slightly better place. You will be dead. Not by you own hand, probably - just because you are old. I may kill myself one day, but you'll be long dead at that point.

Originally posted by Common De-mominator ??? Wtf are you talking about nigger. The fact is that racial similarity has not ever, ever lead to anything like political unity or establish or legitimise any government. Otherwise shit like the god damn World Wars would not have happened.
Of course you are going to further degrade the concept of race to justify these conflicts… and further argue my point that ultimately it just breaks down into individuals and there really is no inherent unifying principle that legitimises all governmental actions to every individual.
?? Whatt
Literally the only reason why international extradition treaties are a thing is because of how borders define political power… If they didn't, you could easily traipse across the border and just take back the fugitive.
Sanctions only matter because of the political capital attached to the border. If tomorrow there was a democratic revolution in Iran and the people overthrew their government, it's highly unlikely the same sanctions that applied to that government will apply to the country under the new regime. Again, they are a feature of political power.
And as for economics, it is only political insofar as the government has the political power to enforce its laws within its borders. So for example, the reason why your economies are separate is because you have different currencies, different laws, can't trade without a separate level of governmental interjection that means you are operating in a very different economic sphere than me. The government's influence only matters to where it has political power.
So for example, I don't want to have to I select my food for lead poisoning every time. I don't want botulism in my canned pineapples. I don't want contaminated medicine. I don't want to worry about it. So I buy into a social fabric where I give up my freedom to not have my products inspected by the government, in exchange for the benefit of living in a society where the products are inspected for safety by the government. This way I don't have to worry about lead poisoning. I can let the government take care of that. That consenting exchange is the basis of government's power (mandate). The economic impact the government has is… Political. The boundaries it defines economically are drawn along… Political lines.
Ah yes, racial homogeneity solves everything, there is never any political violence after this and even if it's direct violence then surely someone of the same race as you must know what is best for you… No it ain't, shithead. Trying to tie governmental legitimacy to race doesn't work on any level, except the one where you twist semantics to the point where the words you are using don't mean shit.
It was only after the slaves were freed that America became a unified, monocultural, monoracial country? Okay lmao.
The United States is still not one nation. It never was. Neither is China, nor anywhere else. Your race doesn't establish shit, ultimately it is someone who does not know jack shit about your situation making decisions for you. Under this framework of thought, no government is legitimate except the government of one, of yourself upon yourself.
Every aggregate group is just a spectrum of differences. All you're saying is that eventually every nation will subdivide into libertarianism with no room for any government. The fact that the government is of the same race as me doesn't mean jack shit regarding their authority over me.
Yeah it's not like there was a deliberate 300 year long campaign to sow division by the British…
India and Pakistan themselves are massively ethnically diverse nations, particularly India, and along many more lines than in the broadest religions. Hindu sects still beat the fuck out of each other on the streets, and political violence still breaks out in voting districts outside of large city centers.
Fact is, you keep drawing the line arbitrarily where you want it, i.e. where you have to draw it to justify your government brainwashing.
The only people "speculating" this are brain dead mongs who get most of their information from 4chan. There will be no civil war or secession in the US, anyone who believes that has literally bought into memes as reality and needs to disconnect from the internet for a looooong time.
4chan is mental illness.
Ok. Maybe you should purify your nation to the point where there's only one person left, and their ideology is as pure as can be.
Who gives a fuck about races or cultures. Governments are administrative conveniences. I don't want to get lead poisoning from my pipes, I want a body that can handle that for me. I do not give a motherfuck if that body is flavoured vanilla or neapolitan.
That the point dipshit. Mao being Chinese has nothing to do with legitimising his reign: why should any Chinese accept Mao's dipshittery any more than a foreigner?
If a more competent foreign administration made better decisions that weren't fueled by shit science… would you rather have Mao and his shit science killing millions just because he has slanty eyes like you?
Melting down their farming tools for shit quality metal.
The only measure by which the EU "imposes" these… Is by the terms of participation in the union. The reason why nations comply… Is because they want to remain in the union… Because it's good for them. It's not forcing anyone to do anything or removing their sovereignty whatsoever. The "force" is offering the benefits of the Union.

2019-07-26 at 2:49 AM UTC in Reddit has decided that ICE detention centers are concentration camps
Originally posted by gadzooks Addendum: I just want to add that I think I can confidently say that I agree with the severity of the issue.
The fact that some were drawing direct comparisons to 1940 Germany and calling the detention centers concentration camps (and also, btw, doubling down any time someone pointed out that the analogy may not be completely apt), all kinda put me off.
But I was willing to explore and seek out other perspectives.
I'm sure NiS was probably one of the least ideal places to do this, but I'm glad I did because §m£ÂgØL I respect your opinion quite a lot.
The sad state of affairs is that meme politics has almost entirely superceded legitimate political discourse these days.
I still remain mostly nonpartisan, but damn if I won't say something if human beings are being detained in deplorable positions, especially when others are like "lol y they not just go home?"
I swear to God, if they aren't native/aboriginal, they need to shut the fuck up.
Exactly lol. If anything, this country belongs more to Mexicans than any person of European descent. At least MY ancestors came from the same continent. Not saying that it does belong more to Mexicans or anything, just pointing out how little this kind of shit makes sense. That whole "send her back" thing was absolutely disgusting, with people chanting and whatnot. That was COMPLETELY Nazi Germany-esque. Ilhan Omar has literally done more for this country and been here longer than Trump's immigrant wife who got citizenship on a fucking green card marriage.
Something similar happened to John McCain when he was running against Obama. I think they called him a Muslim or some shit, but he shut it right the fuck down and defended Obama as a good family man. It speaks a lot for his character. This whole thing goes so far beyond the political dichotomy in this country. I absolutely hate that people like Trump and his base try to spin this as a political thing when the racism is so blatant.
Regardless, I have high hopes for this country. I don't think we are as racist as our president, for the most part. Only 26% of the voting age population actually voted for Trump. How many of those do you think were just hard party liners? Quite a bit, I think. It has long been known that this country is far more liberal than the people who lead it. That is why Republicans depend on the electoral college to win elections, and thus refuse to abolish it, and even enact policies to suppress democratic voters from voting. Such as that voter ID law that was ruled unconstitutional in Texas a few years ago.
Only country in the world that has an electoral college, btw. Every other democratic country, EVERY SINGLE ONE, runs on a direct democracy to elect its representatives. The situation in this country is such a multi-faceted mess that seems impossible to fix. I often switch between this feeling of hopelessness and downright anger. There's really nothing we can do to fix it other than support and vote for anti-establishment politicians who HOPEFULLY will fix at least some of the plaguing issues that are stopping America from actually being 'great again.'The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
