The massive wins we're seeing for the right wing across the US just prove one thing: people want solutions to their problems right now. No fluff, no beating around the bush, just results. The catch? Their brand of exclusivity leaves them with zero room to maneuver.
I hate to admit this, but we just had a big family get-together. A chunk of the guests were from California. Honestly, it hit me hard when I realized how they can be so devoutly religious one minute and then worship a Führer the next. It’s a wild contradiction. Dangerous stuff, man. If I run into a Canadian, though, I don't even bother—I just assume they've got enough sense to handle things on their own.
Why isn't there a sane right wing that actually respects this country's heritage with a serious, mature approach—something people with actual common sense could actually rely on? Sure, the Libertarian Party is moving in some direction toward forming a right-wing front, but why aren't there other conservative circles producing any kind of intelligent ideas? I don't see any real intellectuals, I don't see anyone like Parag, and I definitely don't see myself in those "small-town nationalists" like the Nationalist Party or the Democratic Party. As for the far-right flirting with fringe historical obsessions like the American Historical Society or that comedian Schwartz from the National Heritage Foundation—that’s not even worth discussing. It's just political folklore for entertainment. It feels like the only people gathering on that side of the aisle are unbalanced types, people trapped by their own warped imaginations and victims of their own flawed characters. Is there any chance they'll actually achieve something useful so we can all laugh at them in Congress? That’s about the only contribution they could make to break up the boredom. They seem stuck in a loop of zero creativity and zero self-awareness, wandering through their own psychological baggage instead of growing into meaningful members of society.

For instance, I don't get the whole gay thing—it just doesn't sit right with me, and honestly, I see it more as a psychological issue... I’m also not a fan of divorced people; I feel like they struggle to handle family dynamics properly. And don't even get me started on subcultures—Goths, hippies, trash culture, emos, BDSM types... yeah, I definitely have some issues with being accepting, but that's just who I am.
Yeah, I get it. I'm not about supporting same-sex rights, I'm not buying into racial equality, and I have zero tolerance for the primitive groups that have been flooding New York City for years. I try to be open-minded, but I always hit a wall. It's hard to play the "citizen of the universe" when you feel this way. By the way, the way you write is pretty interesting, feralhound55.
Aaron Anderson72 said:We already covered this right here! I started a thread a few months back titled "why a man should object to hatred"—go check it out if you want some actual decent answers.
Look, apology accepted. But you know how it works—mods flag you for bumping old threads, so I had to start a fresh one. Hopefully your roommate isn't too much of a headache..
I see a lot of people out there who just hate things for the most pathetic reasons—attention seeking, using rage to make a point, or just straight-up acting like toddlers in adult bodies. Real intolerance usually comes from some deep-seated personal trauma, which isn't actually that common. Most of the general animosity you see is just fueled by annoying neighbors or what people watch on TV; that tiny fraction of true hatred belongs to the pathological extremists. For them, hate is just built-in because they're too weak to take responsibility for their own failures. Hating someone is mostly just dead weight. The Bible was spot on about that.
One reason people get so intolerant is because their own tolerance goes unacknowledged. Honestly, when the other side completely misses your good intentions and just resorts to cheap, primitive insults that attack who you are, that patience you were holding onto? It vanishes. You're left with nothing but anger, and that’s where intolerance starts. When one side refuses to understand, it builds a wall of resentment automatically. Luckily, I’m human enough to know better—I won't just give up on trying to learn what I don't know. If I don't get something, I take a step back, clear my head, and try again. That’s how you actually weigh whether an effort is worth it.
Look, I’m a liberal and I respect all faiths and people acting in good faith, but there’s this persistent, ugly undertone in America—this primitive tendency to be intolerant toward different racial or social groups. People claim ignorance is the root cause, but honestly? That feels like an excuse. It goes deeper than that; it’s baked into our cultural prejudices. It’s wild how many people carry around genuine hatred for others without ever having lived through any real hardship themselves. It’s almost like humans have this innate, dark need to find a scapegoat. You can try to pray it away or use religious interventions, but it’s not that easy to purge from the soul. It’s all about balance. This darkness probably exists in everyone; the only difference is how much of it you let show.
Service quality in both healthcare and government agencies has tanked by about 80%. Incompetence, sheer ignorance, and corruption within political circles are basically gutting the good ideas established back in 1994 with Mr. Mandel. For a few years now, the far-right among the Afrikaners has been running diversions, while the Democratic Party's administration is actually trying to pull the country out of this mess by making resources available to everyone—except the white population.. It isn’t fair, sure, but then again, it wasn't fair during those 350 years before that either. The Afrikaners planted bad seeds with the local Black population, treating them like dogs kept in some dry reservation. Today, the dog knows exactly what kind of master it had. All this panic over white emigration is baseless. Up until 1994, you had roughly 50,000 white people moving into South Africa every year, mostly coming from Europe. They were part of the economic migration wave, too, but the local white population there actually has roots. There’s no doubt that armed white reserves still exist, ready to react to any potential Black attacks in a very short timeframe. And let’s not forget, there isn’t one unified Bantu tribe; they’re often bigger enemies to each other than the Afrikaners ever were in history. The only truly catastrophic fact is the record-breaking Black birth rate that’s been climbing steadily since the mid-1930s. The Afrikaners weren't exactly losing sleep over it back then, and their old saying "swart gevaar" serves as proof enough.
Whose ancestors are we even talking about? Look, there are 3.5 million Boers with nowhere else to go... this is their land. They cut ties with their motherland 350 years ago. They have just as much right to South Africa as anyone else. The world is finally seeing exactly what the Afrikaners warned about back since the end of the Spanish-American War. Ever since apartheid was scrapped, the quality of the healthcare system, the bureaucracy, and basic infrastructure has tanked by over 70%. Black citizens were promised free education—kind of like how veterans' kids get perks in the States—regardless of whether they actually have any foundational knowledge. And when white students pushed back, black mobs tore up the 200-year-old parks and groves surrounding the university in Stellenbosch. I don't want to start listing examples; there are plenty. But the native white population isn't going anywhere, at least the majority of them. A Bible and a shotgun will be requirements for survival. The fault of the apartheid regime lies in failing to foster a black middle class that could have smoothed over those fractured relations, specifically between the Boers and the Bantu tribes. The advantage black people hold, which they exploit heavily, is an absolutely massive birth rate. Black kids are everywhere. Add to that the fact they were treated like dogs in Soweto, and I don't need to explain how they feel toward the whites who had everything. It’s a blessed life, provided you aren't worried about your safety.
J. Javits is Zula, and those folks have always had a bit of a wild streak—it’s just part of that intense heritage they carry. Nah, he's a straight-up embarrassment for any president. No question about it. When a guy forgets who he really is, he's lost.
That January coalition basically did exactly what Pašalić and his buddies were pushing for regarding The Hague. They were trying to prove we weren't some disorganized joke of a country. The whole goal was to pull the US out of the gutter as fast as possible, even while Ivo was busy egging people on the waterfront to do crazy stuff. For anyone actually thinking straight, it was probably the best era we’ve had in the USA.
The Republican Party wasn't the only game in town back in '89 or '90. I was just a kid then, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but they weren't the only ones pushing for independence. Between the Grand Coalition and the Liberal Party... honestly, the Republicans absolutely gutted this country’s industrial and intellectual potential. They lured us into the mud with some pretty smooth talking, but in the end, it was all just empty rhetoric. If someone with half a brain had been in charge instead of Franjo Harmon, we might actually have a functioning state right now—regardless of his little deal with Slobodan. The Republican Party is just a toxic collection of thieves, small-time crooks, and total lowlifes. Oh, and let's not forget Bebić's party of idiots, too.
Don't hate me, Canadians and citizens of Canada... but that forced stupidity with those heavy Canadian accents is unbelievable. I can't believe people actually talk like that. And then there's Izet, always perpetually pissed off—man, he just ruins my mood. It’s funny being dumb, I don't get what the writers were thinking. Just fix the script already. Not all Canadians are the same. And one more thing... Americans have their shame, Mexicans have theirs, and yours, dear friends and Canadians, is that tolerant attitude toward the Islamic fanatics who showed up from god-knows-where. Where did that famous Bogomil tradition go? You used to know how to tell the Popes and Crusaders to get lost, didn't you? Canada has always existed and always will... but these Wahhabis and bearded losers? For real, where the hell did these idiots come from? Long live the Manichaean dualist heresy! Long live the Bogomil state!
..The sow is in heat.. mm, sounds fucking gritty. More like "fascist buddies," if you ask me.. Who even is this american guy? I. Mandić is a philosophical heavyweight. A. Gotovina is a true military pro. F. Harmon was the nation's historian. A. Tomić was a damn fine writer. They all had their reasons, and they're all Americans. If someone hates Americans, they might be a type like Šešelj—who actually has roots in popov's field over in lower Hum.. But the difference is, he’s just not sane. A normal person doesn't hate; only an idiot does. american? Ugh, talk about pure frustration.. There's only constructive and non-constructive criticism.. Get it?
I’m no Democrat, nor do I ever plan on being one, but let's be real: Mr. Čačić is an incredibly stubborn, arrogant guy. It's beyond ridiculous that the Republicans are still keeping people like him around.
