Quote:It's pretty bad.

She knows what she is doing I mean we have both talked to her about it separately and have even uncomfortably confronted her together about it because sometimes she will just act like I'm her dude when he isn't around.

She plays dumb but being flirtatious is her entire hustle it gets her through life she is in control always. So she is really just doing it to stir shit up and get him mad sometimes I think.

It's bad though because we did used to fool around. We didn't fuck but we are on the street and a lot of nights it was just the two of us we'd normally spoon and I'd sleep with her in my arms. Then a couple times we got a hotel and fooled around in the shower but those were not regular events we were partying.

Now things are different though because they are in like an actual relationship together now. I don't even mind being friendzoned but yesterday he goes to go take a shower and she decides she is gonna do the entire fashion show routine with me and I am just honest with her I tell her what stuff works and if it's sexy how hot it makes her ass or tits look. She is shamefully playful too she kept putting on dresses and sweaters and asking me if she could get away with each one not wearing anything underneath and wanting me to really thoroughly examine and be honest.

I almost feel bad for my friend but when they started hooking up she was in a serious thing with another guy. So it just is what it is I guess. I'll smoke with them later today. Life is weird.

Quote:That ain't the business though and I'll explain why.

It's fun and all, but she likes playing these games. It's more then just a game to fuck though and it's not gonna be done in 15-20 minutes and he is mature but it would devastate him so bad to catch us like that I could not hurt him that way

No the way it is, is that as long as she wants to be little miss scandalous flirt with me then I am gonna get my freak on with girls around here that she knows and make sure that she hears all about it cause now I'm something she ain't allowed to have and she needs to be reminded of that forbidden fruit chica you better quit it

I mean, is not genocide but is a little naive to think you are not screwing the life of many people and that there has been some infamous cases of you guys deporting either very young children without family member or actual U.S. citizens, should we remember that Trump still insists in ending birthright citizenship, something I doubt the majority of the country wants to end in the U.S., UK or Germany.

What's lesser discussed about illegal immigrant/deportation discourse is over the past fifteen or so months, Pakistan deported 800k Afghans. So far. Think the aim is to hit double that.

It's somewhat entered the new cycle again because Trump's policies made the plans to migrate from Pakistan to America less likely. But they don't really talk about the logistics or cruelty of Pakistan's actions. I'm sure there's a thread on era where they go on about this and how Pakistan is like Nazi Germany and genocide and thanos and black goku aka zamasu.

Again, how convenient. Curious 

You are the one with the premise that “is just a regular political party and everyone is exaggerating” while only prove is that you agree with their immigration policies. 

I honestly don’t have clue one way or another, I will not call them Nazis but doesn’t seem to be totally clean and Musk getting involved is Mike . 

But I also doubt you have any idea if the German government is full of shit at this point and prosecuting a political enemy or there is something there that is going to be ignored when they win and have the political capital of burying it.

Fine. It's the same thing as always, I am expressing that I don't care for people here attacking members they've made up in their heads.

Nobody said what you were lecturing them as being naive about. David especially did not say anything like that in the post you quoted. There's a difference between what you're currently doing with Uncle over AfD where things were actually said, or when you maybe make a mild understanding mistake just from English not being your main language, and when you're bursting in and being condescending, rolling your eyes and lecturing people for things nobody said. There's a reason we make fun of ResetERA.com or Twitter for doing this constantly, because it fucking sucks and is asshole behavior.

You've done this with me for years about Elon Musk even though I've never expressed anything positive about him; simply because I think it's wrong to lie about people just because you hate them. You regularly accuse non-Nintex members of being pro-Trump just for not being rabidly and insanely anti-Trump. In this instance you seem to be saying there's some validity to the insanity of ResetERA.com that members here were being dismissive of for agreeing with you that it's not genocide to deport people. Purely because you imagined that members here did not believe it upset someone's life to be deported and then went on to imagine they also believed the US government was perfect and for dismissing concerns about Trump's irrelevant executive order. All views that were not hinted at, let alone actually expressed by anyone and, again, especially not in the post you quoted.

Think about how you respond when others suggest, usually jokingly, that you're a pedophile for liking anime or vTubers or whatever it is. It's not fun to be accused of something that you not only have not done but something you don't even believe in the first place. And from my perspective of now having to think about things in general I find this very harmful to communities as a whole, if you were just doing it to me that would be one thing, but for the same reason I ask people to actually quote the Nazi posts they regularly see here I want to take some steps sometimes to encourage a culture that doesn't just bow down in the face of accusations as if actually guilty of anything they're accused of while everyone else runs with the now confirmed truth of the accusations. That is already rampant all over the internet. You can see the toxic effects of this, especially when backed with institutional power, on the forum we most chronicle. It's still the way of life on Twitter, not to mention Bluesky. We don't have to do that here.

So he only votes to help people as long as they have less perceived power in his mind than him?

Also, he's blaming them for "voting against their interests" even though he didn't tell them beforehand that if Trump won he'd start being a jerk to them. They couldn't have factored this into evaluating their interests.

The AFD is basically the dumb solution, or probably one that won't really offer solutions anyway. What's happening though is that their popularity keeps pushing other parties to the right which I guess we'll see how that turns out though I'm not exactly hopeful either.

What definitely doesn't help though that again and again you get a news story about a migrant killing someone (just a few days ago a 2 year old child and a man who tried to stop him). A migrant who should have already been deported but was ignored by the authorities. And the left then responds to this by doing protests against the right...

The state suppression of any political party is anti-democratic. This was something I couldn't get Occam to understand, that it's not the protection of democracy, it's rather literally the state saying that democracy is too dangerous to allow.

Now, this isn't to say that political parties must be immune from the law. If a political party goes defunct because everyone in it was doing crimes and went to jail for those crimes, this is not state suppression of the party. Weimar Germany did try to suppress the Nazis but they wound up in jail mostly because of their tendency to keep doing other crimes. (Same for the KPD.) Political parties as fronts for doing crimes is not unusual, but breaking up the criminal part does not automatically equal suppression of the party for its speech/political views/etc. 

My understanding about AfD (though I may be confusing it with another party that was popular in Bavaria, or perhaps even Austria) is that it earlier, and at the state level, had a tendency for some criminal things and that the state tries to use this as justification for suppressing them as a party. At the same time, the German state has been known to suppress all kinds of political views not just the AfD's so there's reason to be distrustful of their claims about any party: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/23/technology/germany-internet-speech-arrest.html

I’m going to go to this exhibit, and take a photo of me outside holding a sign that says ‘Edmond Dantès is a stupid cock’, create a burner account, and post it on ResetEra.

All of these would apply to both the Soviet Union and China. It would be a stretch to apply almost all to the United States.

The storming of the Bastille was not until July 1789. The French Monarchy was not deposed until September 1792, at which time France had already kicked off the continental wars. The Jacobins would not take power until 1793 and the Committee of Public Safety was also not established until the same year. The Reign of Terror was a "necessary" measure because of the war the French Republic was determined to fight. We can start to see how the French Revolution would also meet more of the above list of fascist signs than the United States.

Marine Le Pen cut all links with the AFD. That’s Marine Le Pen. If your party is so extreme Marine  is calling it extremist then there’s a problem.

Or it's because she's trying to win a majority in the second round.

We can probably convince them it was called the Black Plague because it wiped out all the Black people in Bohemia.
