Look, Putin isn't some powerhouse—he's more like a cheap little flute. Just full of holes, whistling air out everywhere.

Wait, a flute is actually the perfect way to put it. 🤷

Arthur Sanders74 said:Peter Zeihan.

The guy actually makes sense and backs it up with real data. It's not just some one-sided Mainstream Media spin, and it's not just RT propaganda either. It’s legit.

That name rings a bell.

I think I've heard of him before, probably some bigshot. I'll try to dig up a source and post it here once I find it.

Man, we used to spend all our time catching waves when we were kids, but things weren't always smooth sailing. Those jagged rocks didn't give a damn about us needing skin tough enough to handle those nasty scrapes.

Who even is Zeihan?

It’s honestly wild how many brilliant minds from all over the globe have migrated over to the alternative scene.

The absolute worst part? They aren't even arguing anymore. Instead, they're just sitting there thinking, "Wait, what am I even doing here?! What the hell is this?! Get me out of here, it's nothing but lunatics in here!!"

Arthur Sanders74 said:No way, unless Russia decides to start knocking on Poland's door.

Rista, if I were betting on which absolute morons are ready to drag their own people into a suicidal war with Russia, you'd only need one guess.

Arthur Sanders74 said:Look, it’s not like things have always been smooth sailing (speaking for myself here). There’s plenty of struggle, lessons learned, and hard work involved... success doesn't just happen overnight. What can one person actually do against the system in America? Not much. Honestly, you’ve got even less leverage in the US.

I was actually wondering what you think about how far these strikes inside Russia will go—hitting Moscow, maybe even further? What happens after the drones? Ballistic missiles? How is Moscow going to clap back?

There are no limits. Russia has no choice.

Right now, everything is coming from Ukrainian territory. Pretty soon it'll be from Poland, and then what can Russia even do?

The West is being run by a handful of psychopaths.

Don't go ruining things here too. Especially since you're bound to mess up anyway—mostly because the "facts" you drop aren't exactly rock solid.
I actually gave you credit for sounding serious for once—now beat it.☕

Man, you are my absolute favorite person to clash with, mostly just because you constanty get on my nerves.
There’s nothing quite like logging on early in the morning, feeling all good, only to be greeted by messages telling me I'm an idiot or totally worthless.

But hey, you just spread your wings, take a deep breath, and think: "Wait, the day can only get better from here."

bluecyclist64 said:Look, Prika, just like you're exhausting me with this "humor" of yours, you're just as exhausting to those kids who think they've mastered the world because they listened to some random podcast hosted by some dude trying way too hard to sound edgy.
I mean, let's be real here: I actually love your posts on this thread, but you gotta realize you're being welcomed like a total outsider in 1938 Germany.

So what, I'm gonna die in some ditch on a quiet night, nobody even knowing I existed, only for someone eighty years from now to rake in massive NGO money from the Fund to pay the people who tossed me in that ditch?

Yeah, yeah, I get it, I'm "exhausting" with my so-called humor.

PS: Actually, I kind of love it.

Larry Walker24 said:Everyone’s sharing that notice from the dorm bathrooms near the Mississippi—apparently, someone really pissed off the cleaning crew.

You guys have no idea what those toilets over by the Mississippi looked like Monday morning. It wasn't just fingernails or random girl stuff left behind. Man, you needed a jackhammer, a gas mask, and honestly? You might need the fire department to come pump the place out.

The state of the stalls at the Mississippi in the morning... it’s a symphony.

And then you still gotta shower.

And then shave.

So you basically poop, shower, and shave, then head out onto the street with your adrenaline pumping because you just told some guy twice your size to "not crap" while you were in the stall—you just happened to be faster than him.

Then some dude waiting for the bus starts preaching about Salvation. You give him this look, just a little stare, and he backs up ten feet from you. All you hear is him muttering "savage" under his breath.

Arthur Sanders74 said:What's the deal with Persia?

Pssst... buddy, watch yourself! Any second now, Sam Alvarez4 is gonna jump in here to tell you how lazy, stupid, and rude you are—basically saying you don't know anything except how to be a total jerk. They'll probably claim you should've been sent to the Ban Corner ages ago, but everyone’s just too busy being lazy and clueless to actually do it! It's a vicious cycle of people being too dim to realize how much of a nuisance they're being!! And all while knowing absolutely nothing.

Consider yourself warned. 🥳

Seriously though, Persia is pure magic. It brings out the absolute best in people.

Hmm.. heaven forbid we actually see some real talent.

As the legends Pink Floyd once said:

We Americans, known for being incredibly reliable, hardworking, and just plain good people, always step up to offer an olive branch when it’s time to make peace.

A hand from Arthur Sanders74.

Arthur Sanders74 said:There are people out there who don't find it boring, so they reply and we just talk about it.

Look, if you think it's boring, just skip it...

And here comes the magic word: Persia.

Listen, Arthur, I know it doesn't seem to make sense to you, but whenever you drop that weird cat-related word in serious circles, the whole vibe just gets electric.

Arthur Sanders74 said:I mean, I should be allowed to say I'm bored if I actually feel bored, right? 🤷

Look, you never truly know if you're bored until the official Forum Trolls (TM) give you the green light. 🙂

PS: I'm dropping the word "Iran" in here just to watch some people lose their minds and start swinging sticks at lizards while screaming "Enough! ENOUGH!!"
Americans sure are entertaining. 🙂

Arthur Sanders74 said:Everything’s just a total blur when I think back on those old threads and posts.

Wait, we're talking about Syria now???

Nah. I was actually arguing about Syria and Ukraine back in 2014 with the mod Rock, who eventually lost his mind over the whole Ukraine thing, bailed, then came crawling back once the chaos kicked off in 2022. Once all the mainstream media jumped on the same bandwagon, I was basically out of luck. I've only got two fingers to type with, so they just kept kicking me out because I wouldn't fall in line with the crowd.

Geez, guess I'm just "slow" since my massive 20,000 IQ is weighing me down, along with my two typing fingers and my two eyes. 😢 🥳

They absolutely crushed me back in 2019 over ideological stuff—you know, like preschool picture books and junk. As if I’d have an opinion on that!

rowdytiger13 said:This place just isn't my scene anymore. I probably shouldn't say this out loud, but honestly? I was stoked to vote for Jack Cook7's takeover on the Politics board, and if I got the chance to do it again, I’d jump at it even faster.
Peace out

And seriously, Bubimira, thank you for everything—no sarcasm intended. If you ever need a hand with anything IT-related that I can fix remotely, please hit me up. I owe you one for getting me out of that rut. For ten years, until about mid-2019, I barely even touched any other sub-forum here. And look at me now. Thanks, Bubimira. 🙏

Back in May 2019, after wrestling with the mods for six months and having some pretty intense showdowns in the Ban Corner over how they were handling moderation, I finally got partial access to the Politics section (which, let's be real, I practically begged for). It was specifically for about ten certain threads where I was just trying to get some clarity on the rules. You want me to list them?

I actually went as far as suggesting we create a separate sub-forum specifically for those "ideological" topics. That way, users like me could stay isolated from all the politically "hot" stuff. And guess what happened? Instead of giving us our own space, they wiped out three whole months of my appeals in the Ban Corner (from February to May 2019) where I was pointing out the exact same issue with how those ideological threads were being moderated. Just connect the dots. I never once complained about getting partial access.

My whole life, I've been dealing with this same old game: "We don't like you, so leave" because apparently, I'm not "obedient" enough or willing to chant the official mantra of compliance.

So, I'm checking out and going solo. But you know how it goes. I build up some niche corner that nobody cares about, then suddenly people start flocking to it—everyone thinks it's the best thing ever, total blast—and wouldn't you know it, the brass hands the keys over to someone else. Then, magically, that niche just... dies. Poof. Gone. 🤷

The offer is on the table. For a little while, anyway.

(Every single group works this way—it's all about "selling" an idea, whether it’s religion, national myths, or just a bunch of shared beliefs. Your frustration comes from the fact that Western societies are way more aggressive at pushing their agendas, so all you can do is point out the manipulation and try to wake up the sheep. Go ahead, thanks for the help. On the flip side, you've got poverty, misery, and blatant, vulgar aggression (vertical, as you put it)—the followers stay submissive, while the strong get canceled, not on Twitter, but much more directly. In these so-called free countries, the individual is nothing; they're crushed and degraded. They preach these "traditional values," but honestly, there's nothing pure or healthy left in them—it's all just Sodom and Gomorrah, alcoholism, violence, and hate. That's what happens when societies lose hope, so what else is left? Most people want more, and they regularly look for it in developed liberal democracies rather than in filthy, satanic death traps (🙂), no matter how much those places claim they aren't being brainwashed (🤣).

TL;DR: For those of you who finally see through the BS, there is an alternative. But hey, nobody ever actually has the guts to take it.

Edit: shortened it

Oh, please. Tell me more about the legendary symbol of freedom from slavery, democracy, and capitalism: Haiti. You know, the one that had to pay France tens of billions of dollars just to be left alone.

Or look at Argentina. How they took out a British loan right after breaking free from Spain in 1821 and ended up still owing money 200 years later.

So where's this supposed misery? If we strip away all the colonial impositions, who's actually going to go hungry?

You don't know the first thing about France!

Just your typical late-night vibe in America:

Arthur Sanders74 said:Still a shaky theory. In practice, it’s just total BS!

And yeah, the practice *is* BS because the "management" types just dump all the actual work onto the believers on the ground—people who literally have zero clue what they're doing or if they can even pull it off. It's classic socialist realism meets capitalism. The higher-ups don't know anything about the front lines. Not the managers, not the board. Nothing.

Management hits their KPIs, cashes those bonuses, and calls it a day. Even if the whole damn company falls apart...

The whole thing with the World of Wokeism is just another version of the exact same story. It always ends up in the same place.

When you look at the big picture—like, roughly 3,000 years of recorded history up to now—you see it's always the same loop. Always the same mess.
