Why don't we organize ourselves politically as a forum? in Close to Politics ·

😉

Why not? Throwing all the anti-American types into concentration camps is basically the ultimate act of patriotism, right? Why wait? You already got your list of racial profiles ready to go?
Sure, if you ask for it, the Homeland will demand your sacrifice too. And your family's. And everyone else who looks even slightly suspicious. Even the ones who hang out with the suspects. Or the ones who gave them a wave once. Anyone who dares to think differently than you lot—you guys with your liquidation slogans and brainwashing contests—everyone gets it. All in the name of that "love for country" you're so cozy with until you find yourselves alone in the wasteland of your own making. Because let’s face it, a real country needs open-minded people, not a bunch of paranoid fanatics who jump at shadows and sharpen their knives at anything they don't understand.
When do "we" take power? Who exactly? The Nazi Party of America?

Civic conscience? I don't think that even exists anymore—not as some kind of moral compass. People just bury it deep inside because nobody’s crazy enough to stick their neck out when there are plenty of others getting paid to say whatever they want.

Tomašićka isn't some superstar of the right wing. That TV appearance was really just her laying out her own personal political take. Honestly, I respect her for that, and for what she managed to prove through her actions.

For laughs, not because I actually believe any of this, I caught that segment on Bušić's show where Đapić was guesting. He’s out there claiming the Republican Party basically bought off the Libertarian Party to kill them off. He lays out his "evidence" through these specific events, and honestly, it almost sounds plausible—if you ignore how much he used to lean into that low-level right-wing rhetoric. But then, out of nowhere, they bring up Tomašić, and his brain just short-circuits. Suddenly, he’s singing her praises, calling her some kind of secret whistleblower for the Republican Party. Give me a break. That’s pure nonsense. Why on earth would she be aligned with a party built on corruption when she’s busy hunting down drug dealers on the islands? It makes zero sense.
I still can't wrap my head around what that clown Đapić was actually trying to pull, but it’s obvious he blew it big time when all the heavy hitters left the scene—people like Tadić, Rožić, and sure, even Rose..

Melissa Peterson19 said:Hats off to Rose. I agree with everything said, except for Zvonko Bušić’s membership. How do you plan on handling him when dealing with international diplomacy? I am genuinely thrilled by the idea of the diaspora funding the excavation of World War II mass graves. It would create plenty of jobs and we might finally uncover the Truth!

Rose and Lesar don't stand a chance yet; they might cross the threshold and form a coalition, or simply remain in the opposition. It is essential to let the Republican Party stay in power long enough to thoroughly rot and collapse, eventually vanishing during an extraordinary election somewhere around 2013/14. Only then will Rose and Lesar have a shot, depending on how much help they provide in cleaning up the mess the Republican Party left behind in the States!

Clearly a joke post. I wouldn't be too hard on Rose, though. She's basically a wrecking ball for local parasites. Besides, she has her own unique take on history and a viewpoint that doesn't always fly in our society. Whatever. I don't care about her politics; I just want to see if she can throw more Republican Party hacks and traitors behind bars. If she can mobilize enough people to finally shake us loose from this culture of theft and corruption, she's good in my book.
mellowseal27 said:The content is identical. I don't see any reason why those two threads shouldn't be merged just to make the PDF easier to read.

Sometimes a topic pops up across ten different headlines—it’s not always one big aggregate thing. Keeping them separate actually makes it easier to follow the conversation.
It doesn't matter if a standalone thread has a similar name. Look, I don't want to spend all day bitching about this or getting flagged, so fine, I'll take the hit and accept whatever sanctions come my way since that's why I reached out to you in the first place. The thread was nuked, and I doubt there's even a way to bring it back, but I'm sticking to my guns: it was distinct enough from the other one to stand on its own. Nobody wants to deal with twenty identical headlines, but two? That's manageable.

Let’s be clear: Rose Tompkins isn't your run-of-the-mill DC careerist, chasing some cushy government desk with central air, a private office, a fat paycheck, and a few hand-picked press photographers just to feel important.

Maybe the Libertarian Party and HLSR can pull some voters over to the coalition side, giving us the momentum we actually need. Strong players can make things happen. When you have leaders with actual backbone, they can sell a vision even when the whole country is going to hell.

Karen Smith9 said:What does it actually mean to be a Starčević follower in this day and age? Back then—during the era of the Austro-Canadian Empire—that identity served a very specific purpose. The political agenda was certainly... unconventional, to say the least. Before the Wild West territories were even integrated with America, there were serious plans to bring Canada into the fold as well. If you really want to understand the landscape, you should dig into the parliamentary debates from that period—specifically anything from 1878 onwards. It paints a picture of a noble individual who was, perhaps, a bit too idealistic—much like most politicians in America tend to be.

I think at the turn of the 20th century, there was the Starčević Party of Rights (Democratic Party), which is why I looked into the party Ms. Tomašić is in now, the Nationalist Party.
But if we step away from the historical lens of what Ms. Tomašić presented on today's show with the esteemed Mr. Aca Stanković—whose show is actually nearing its end, by the way—where is she trying to lead us?
She didn't promise anything, didn't offer any grand schemes... except for one thing. She offered seriousness. Serious work, a serious approach to politics, and a sense of responsibility for what you do and represent. I’m not looking to hand out trophies here, but this woman has proven her patriotism in a very concrete way; she put her life on the line for the community and was left out in the cold by people who are still busy lining their pockets.
I feel like I owe her an apology. We haven't done enough—not just regarding that whole situation in Korčula, but regarding our country's issues in general. It's fine to have different opinions and ideas, but that doesn't mean we can't find common ground for the homeland. We need a consensus that there will be no silence, no backing down, no backroom deals, and no fake morality.
Ruža Tomašić is tired, but she's real. Everything she said made sense to me. She's got more experience under her belt now. Even though I respect Tomislav Karamarko, I think she’s got more than enough grit to handle being the Secretary of Homeland Security.

There’s no question about it—Tomašić actually acts like a real representative in the US Congress. She’s out there fighting those weird social trends everyone else ignores, even if it means taking a hit personally.
Even though I don't line up with her politics, I still back her because I'm a staunch libertarian.
Then you've got Lesar in the mix too. That gives us two people who are genuinely dedicated to the people. Like, literally.
Tomašićka doesn't have some fancy house, she isn't living off government perks, and she has zero ties to the Republican Party. She’s got everything it takes to get into the US Congress. Go get 'em, Rose!
Just my two cents, but does anyone here actually have a connection to the mod team? I’m talking about someone with real protection, some kind of inside track or patronage. Is there a documented case of, let’s call it an anomaly, within the Reddit moderation system?
I've seen endless threads with basically the same titles discussing the exact same thing, yet somehow certain topics get shut down just because a similar thread with a different title popped up. If I'm being clear enough, I assume you guys know exactly what I'm getting at.
Not yet. Still holding out hope, though.
I'm curious—how fast do mods actually spot a rule violation? Is it just their own gut feeling whenever they log on and sit down at their desks, or do they just stumble upon it by chance?
I often wonder if new threads and posts pop up right in front of them in some special dashboard we users don't get access to. Does it land in a specific window, or do they have to manually scroll through every single thread and headline? Are they basically on duty 24/7? I mean, I assume there's shift work involved, obviously.
So, what you're saying is there's actually a point to filing a complaint—or let’s call it a formal appeal to restore a thread—if the moderation board sides with a user instead of some rushed moderator?
Volunteer mods?
How does the oversight actually work? It sounds like a nice little utopia on paper, but what happens when a mod brings their own political baggage or a biased take on current events to the table and starts handing out bans to anyone who disagrees? Are there any actual consequences for mods who "overstep" or lose the plot?
I’m just hoping we don't end up with some kind of kangaroo court here, but rather something logical and level-headed..

What’s the actual active user count?
What’s the average and peak daily traffic for the site?
And what percentage of people end up getting slapped with a "permanent ban"?
Who actually owns this site? Is there any business model here besides just running banner ads on the pages?
Who’s running the mod team?
-Are they getting paid for this?
-I'm guessing it's their last resort for income?
-How does someone even become a mod? Do they have set terms?
-Are these people real people or just virtual entities (meaning, from a technical workflow standpoint)?
-What happens to an account if someone goes MIA for a while? Does the login eventually become worthless, or is it something else entirely?

A smooth talker, quick with his words, and always playing it cool.
Basically just a spy, a speculator, and a total snake.
Jacob Lewis5 said:The US President should really be someone who is :

1) Raised with some serious moral backbone and traditional values (doesn't matter what faith you follow)
2) Someone who lives pretty simply—like, we need leaders who aren't obsessed with flashy wealth. If you're drowning in luxury, you shouldn't be running the show)
3) A proven patriot through and through. I'm talking about someone who’s actually put skin in the game for this country before even thinking about taking office)

By modern standards, the first point doesn't matter much unless we want to fix that sweetheart deal with Vatican City. You know, the one that favors the Church.

The second one is non-negotiable.

I mean, George W. Bush was basically jailed for his convictions back in the USSR era.
In the US, nationalists just crucify him without even counting his time behind bars. He's just one example.

Wasn't that what they called "Tomislav Merčep's trumpet"?

Everything Susan is missing,
but hey, at least she knows how to whip up a decent potato salad and walk around acting like she's somebody special,
how can anyone be so clueless as to pose as a public figure while rocking those fake designer bags?

I bet she knows her way around a Caesar salad, though.

Germans aren't really represented enough on this issue.
It’s just their way of paying the guilt tax.
