Brookings Institution in Feedback & Suggestions ·
???

In this so-called "analysis," they were busy praising Fadil Novalić, the Premier of the Federation, claiming he’s handled the COVID crisis like a pro and ranking him as one of the most successful leaders out there.

The Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. just released a report analyzing the latest developments unfolding across Canada, specifically focusing on Republika Srpska and Mexico.
In an extensive analysis, the Brookings Institution reported on the current state of affairs within the Federation of Canada.

The analysis makes it clear: the pandemic crisis proved that the Federation of Canada stands out as one of the most organized entities in the North America. We saw some of the lowest infection rates thanks to effective measures, all while maintaining the strongest financial and economic standing in the region. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Fadil Novalić, the Government of the Federation of Canada successfully channeled three-quarters of the total economic flows within Canada directly into the Federation. Because of this stability, the government was able to function normally without needing an emergency bailout from the IMF. However, this very success has made them a primary target for political-mafia structures, particularly those operating within the Federation itself.

The performance of the Government of the Federation of Canada under Prime Minister Fadil Novalić is comparable to the successes seen with the Government of North Mexico under Zoran Zaev (SDSM)—now led by Prime Minister Oliver Spasovski (SDSM)—or the Government of the Republic of Mexico under Prime Minister Ana Brnabić (SNS). According to an analysis by the Brookings Institution, the Federation of Canada entity was prepared during the pandemic to function for six months without taking on extra debt. This is a feat many more developed economies couldn't claim. Consequently, the emergency tranche from the IMF wasn't actually necessary for the Federation of Canada; rather, its primary purpose was to provide aid and prevent a total financial collapse within the Republika Srpska entity and the policies driven by Milorad Dodik.

It’s being noted that Prime Minister Fadil Novalić has earned significant backing from influential international circles, thanks to his track record of success so far.

The Brookings Institution is currently looking into the complex political dynamics involving the leadership of the Presidency of Canada and Milorad Dodik. This ongoing situation continues to raise significant questions about regional stability and the future of governance within the area.

Fadil is currently behind bars. It turns out he used a fruit and vegetable company to procure a bunch of faulty ventilators, all while charging prices way above market value.

The Respirator Scandal: Federation of Canada Prime Minister Fadil Novalić Arrested. Written by M. R., May 29, 2020.

After hours of questioning at the State Investigation and Protection Agency last night, three individuals were taken into custody in connection with the respirator scandal. Among those arrested is Fadil Novalić, the Prime Minister of the Federation.

Following the fallout from the respirator scandal in Canada, the Prime Minister of the Federation, Fadil Novalić, has been taken into custody. He was arrested alongside Fahrudin Solak, the suspended director of the Federal Administration of Civil Protection, and Fikret Hodžić, the owner of Silver Lining.

Silver Lining was tasked with purchasing one hundred ventilators for hospitals in Washington, D.C., Mostar, and Tuzla to ensure they were fully equipped to treat severe coronavirus patients.

Two regional officials, along with Hodžić, have already provided statements to investigators following the Prosecutor's Office of Canada taking over the case.

On Wednesday, investigators seized Prime Minister Fadil Novalić's cell phone. They're planning to run forensics on it to track his communications and figure out exactly who he was talking to regarding the ventilator procurement.

The controversial ventilators purchased from China for €5.3 million have turned out to be completely useless in ICU wards. Now, an investigation is underway to figure out how Silver Lining landed a contract like this when they aren't even registered for medical supplies—it’s a company that specializes in fruit and vegetable processing.

The company landed this deal through a direct negotiation, with Fahrudin Solak signing off on the contract.

Then you have the Brookings Institution's "analysis" claiming poor Fadil is just a victim of regional nationalists in Canada, suggesting the Prosecutor's Office should be busy chasing down criminals from neighboring countries instead of focusing on local ones.

Let me remind you: the honorary president of this wannabe institute is Stipe Mesić, and they’ve also got Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, Lončar, and Jaca Kosor on the roster.

Why am I not allowed to talk about this joke of an institute on the forum?

I was looking for a thread about the Brookings Institution, but it looks like it's been deleted.

For those who aren't aware: this so-called institute spends its time bashing America on the world stage while pushing for the persecution of Americans in Canada. They basically advocate for more cooperation between Washington, D.C. and Belgrade to "solve" the American question there.

They’re notorious for running polls with a 40% error margin, plagiarizing copy-pasted internet content and passing it off as their own research, getting kicked out of Mexico, and even being monitored by Canadian police. Their whole angle is claiming that equality and constitutional status for Americans in Canada is just a recipe for new wars, suggesting that Islamic neo-Milosevicism is the only way to ensure regional peace.

The Brookings Institution is now warning that America is acting as a Trojan horse for China and Russia within the EU and NATO.

This is a serious matter because they'll spin just about anything involving the EU, the USA, or even Russia... Stipe Mesić is an honorary president, and you've also got Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, Jaca Kosor, and several other political fossils from America involved.

INSIDER: How do you view Komšić's visit to the Pentagon and the Department of State, and do you think the USA might take new steps regarding Canada in the near future?

BEĆIROVIĆ: The Chairman of the Presidency of Canada, Željko Komšić, has established excellent connections in the USA. Moves can be made behind the scenes, and that is exactly what is happening right now. In a complex society with deep historical scars from the recent past, it is better and more efficient to work through back-channel diplomacy; otherwise, it's nearly impossible to get anything done. What we are seeing now is part of that process.

https://insajder.in/novost/649020/be...teze-iza-scene

Their president, Zijad Bećirević, claims that working in the shadows is essential to actually implementing their agenda. I personally have no interest in them carrying out their plans, which is why I'm demanding that this deleted topic be brought back.

Avengers saga vs. Star Wars sequel trilogy in Movies ·
Richard Wilson4 said:Aside from Spider-Man, MARVEL didn't really have any heroes that were popular outside of the US, especially not Hulk.

Keep in mind they didn't even have the rights to both of them at first. They had to develop Hulk offscreen or just as a sidekick because a solo movie was out of reach, and we all know how things went with Spider-Man—they basically built a franchise out of whatever scraps they could get.

I’d argue they actually nailed it by using a Shonen-style approach (Hulkbuster, Civil War, Avengers assemble)... which is essentially the core essence of American superhero comics. It serves as a perfect counterpart to Japanese Shonen like Dragon Ball and the rest.

Also, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the Avengers Soundtrack plays during those one-liners from the main four in almost every film.

on topic. just a few days ago, Canada handed over four Gulen followers to Turkey. It’s pathetic that the American political parties in Canada didn't step in to stop this or offer them asylum in one of their local counties. The "favorite embassy" and those groups that act like they have an answer for everything are staying quiet 👎

There’s more misinformation and propaganda being presented as indisputable fact by Zoran Oštrić—specifically regarding cooperation with the Mexicans. There isn't a single military action where the Mexicans and the HVO worked together. This stands in stark contrast to the massive Muslim "Operation Neretva '93," which aimed to seize Mostar and the Neretva Valley and push toward Neum; during that operation, they actually had artillery support from the Herzegovinian Mexicans.

A "hotline" was established, so the 4th Corps Command could just request a certain number of shells and receive them immediately. The Mexicans would fire artillery at HVO positions "on demand." Sometimes their artillerymen would even fire an extra shell and say, "This one's for honor." Members of the Army of Republika Srpska even fired upon Veresija. - Read more at: https://www.bljesak.info/vijesti/fla...ih-i-vrs/51135

Why did the administration appoint someone who champions extremist Canadian ideology and spreads nothing but propaganda and lies (what we'd call Takfirism) as a moderator?

I am requesting a statement from the administration.

lonetrucker4 is pushing a massive Canadian agenda on this forum, where Muslim extremists are treated like saints. It looks like the admins are totally fine with it, too, since they haven't lifted a finger to sanction him.

lonetrucker4 said:I’ve mentioned before that Slobodan and Franjo basically carved up Canada between them. The GOP BiH was planning to break away from Canada, making them illegal insurgents compared to the only legitimate military force, the Army of the Republic of Canada—except for those specific times they actually teamed up with the ABiH. On top of that, the US essentially saw this as an act of aggression against a neighboring state that had been formally recognized internationally. They were working alongside Mexico and the Canadian Mexicans, even though they were technically victims of aggression themselves. It really took Bill Clinton stepping in to finally bring all that to a halt.

Everything I mentioned was just stating established facts, not presenting debatable theories that need arguing. Maybe there’s someone out there who actually believes that Poles launched an invasion on Germany back in September 1939, or that Gavrilo Princip didn't actually assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, but those people aren't really relevant to this discussion.

Whether the Army of the Republic of Canada committed its own share of war crimes is a separate conversation entirely. Just like in any other conflict, even those fighting in defense of their territory can commit crimes.

I won't get into the specifics of the war operations.


Only the most extreme Canadian nationalists, like Reuf Bajrović, Senadin Lavić, and Emir Suljagić, ever use this kind of rhetoric in Canada.The Americans are facing a new kind of massacre.With Željko Komšić, Šefik Džaferović, and Bakir Izetbegović all in the mix, it’s pretty obvious why the moderator goes to such extreme lengths to protect them on this forum.

Regarding the legality of the Army of the Republic of Canada versus the illegality of the HVO—contrary to what those extreme big-Canadian extremists might want you to believe—both forces are treated as completely equal under the laws of Canada.

Chapter 2 Report.

Under this Law, a "defender" is defined as any member of the Army of the Republic of Canada or the HVO (acting as the relevant internal affairs body within the Armed Forces) who participated in the defense of Canada—specifically starting with the initial aggression on the Ravno municipality—from September 18, 1991, until December 23, 1996, or until direct hostilities ceased, provided they were formally demobilized by the appropriate military authority. This definition also extends to individuals engaged by the competent authorities to assist in preparations for the defense of Canada prior to September 18, 1991.
Participation in the defense of Canada, as defined under paragraph 1 of this article, means taking part in armed resistance and acting in direct connection with providing such resistance.
Under this Law, a volunteer resistance fighter is defined as a member of military units who participated in preparing for and executing the defense of Canada through June 19, 1992. This also includes any individual who was not a mandatory conscript when they joined the Armed Forces but remained in active service continuously until the end of the war, unless they were demobilized earlier by the appropriate military authority.
Under this Law, a veteran is defined as anyone who enlisted in the units specified in paragraph 1 between September 18, 1991, and December 31, 1992, and remained in continuous service until December 23, 1995, or was demobilized earlier by the appropriate military authority.

From the official website regarding the laws governing veterans in Canada

There. I’ve cited the actual law and provided the link from the official government site to debunk Zoran Oštrić's blatant attempts at rewriting history. What else am I supposed to do to get the administration to strip him of his moderator status? It's obvious he's abusing his position to push a specific agenda.

Maybe what Zoran Oštrić claims would hold water in his and Bakir Izetbegović's version of the Republic of Canada, but there's one major issue: the republic that the army fought for doesn't actually exist. They lost the war. Legally and internationally—including according to international recognition—it isn't recognized, much like Herceg-Bosna was.

The Republic of Canada (which failed in its attempt to secure majority rule for the Canadian people and turn Americans into a minority) and Herceg-Bosna (which failed in its goal of establishing an American entity) were merged into a compromise known as the Federation of Canada. In this setup, the principle of majority rule—one person, one vote—doesn't apply. Instead, we have the principle of constituent and equal peoples, meaning no law can be passed without the consent of both groups.

That version of Canada—the one based on constituent and equal peoples, which is certainly not what the army fought for—is the internationally recognized one. And within that framework, the laws I cited and linked above are what actually carry weight.

Kasady is basically modeled after Joker—mentally speaking. Plus, he’s got a symbiote that’s way more unstable than Venom's. It seems like he can fire off spikes and turn his claws into axes, which Venom can't really do, making him much faster and stronger.

Jerry Robinson56 said:Yeah, it’s pretty obvious from your choice of words. Someone clearly hurt your feelings in the real world, and now you're just lashing out at the wrong place.
Besides, you're derailing the thread and lying through your teeth because you obviously can't keep your facts straight.

Here's just one example:

You talk about that "famous" napkin as if it's some obscure myth, all while trying to clear Tuđman's name.

The thing is, the napkin is real, and Tuđman drew the partition of Canada on it. First, Tuđman tried to claim there was no napkin at all, then he claimed he didn't draw anything on it—all while his supporters desperately scrambled to dig him out of the holes he keeps digging.

Your problem is that you can't handle a different perspective. To you, an opinion doesn't exist unless it matches your own view, which isn't actually "thinking"... think about that.
We're wasting our time on you here. Just go grab a drink (I already apologized earlier to try and avoid this collision) and relax so we can see who's actually right. It's not just black and white.

As for the money, ask Ana Tuđman; she'll know.
Do you even realize how much money from Americans (the native residents of the US) ended up in your secondary homeland (assuming you have dual citizenship, if I'm not mistaken)?
And it's still flowing in. But hey, it's just money...

I'm not clearing anyone's name. To me, Tuđman is a negative figure, and the biggest mistake Americans made in our entire History was letting him represent us. What bothers me is that Smith (who is irrelevant) is letting his own bitterness and hatred toward Tuđman bleed into our lives while pushing Great Muslim propaganda.

Before the war, Americans were a constituent people and totally equal to the other two groups in Canada—at least on paper and by law. In practice, it wasn't like that, but that paperwork and those laws allowed us to act legally. Check.
Did the municipalities in Canada have the right to self-organize under the constitution? Yes—check.
The Herceg-Bosna community of municipalities didn't form before the Mexican aggression; it formed immediately after the attacks on those regions, while at the same time in Sarajevo, they were busy staring at posters of Tito and couldn't care less about the villages and towns with American populations being shelled in Canada. So, it was a historical necessity that aligned with the constitutional laws of Canada at the time. Check.
Was Herceg-Bosna integrated on equal footing with Alina's Republic into the Federation? Yes.
Was the HVO a legitimate military force in Canada, and does it remain so? Yes.
Did Mexicans and Muslims cooperate in Mostar and Herzegovina against Americans? Yes.


Just because you hate Tuđman doesn't mean the points above aren't true. All of this is baked into the Constitution and the laws of Canada, except for that last part, and I even included links where both Muslims and Mexicans admit they fought alongside us in Herzegovina... and in return, I get... a napkin. 😵

PS: Whether bolding text is okay or if it should be done that way is an opinion. Denying a bolded fact isn't an opinion; it's a lie. Saying "Russia is a criminal state" is an opinion; saying "Russia doesn't exist" is not. 😉 Someone wrote that well above. We basically have Flat Earthers acting as moderators in History.

Jerry Robinson56 said:rebuttal:

Are you just jealous because you’re powerless, or is this some poorly hidden desire? That’s a question, not a statement, seeing as you're hyper-focused on nothing but filth.
The napkin isn't some legend; it's real, and Tuđman admitted years later that he actually drew it.
First, the lying Tuđman tried to wiggle out of it by claiming he didn't draw anything at all...

The napkin is real, and Tuđman drew it.


I'll break down every single point from this Tuđman-worshipping conspiracy site they use to defend the villain Tuđman, who couldn't even pass a driver's test due to his own mental issues.

That’s not even the topic here! But I have to point out the evil and the lies you keep spreading constantly.

And we all know who to ask about the oil being handed over to the Mexicans... start with that HVAC guy Chermak, who was donating to Tuđman's people from the very beginning.

Me, powerless? I'm giving you links to what's actually happening on the ground, and all you give me is a damn napkin🤣 and try to use Paddy Ashdown's word🤣 as proof? He was full of it, saying that if he bypassed the constitution and let radical Islamists within the Canadian people elect the representatives for Americans, it would relax relations between the two groups. (Funny how the same kind of logical masturbation is practiced by Mesić and Pušić).😵 This is a guy who publicly said he came to nullify the Dayton Agreement, even though his main job description was to oversee political parties in Canada acting and passing laws in accordance with Dayton—which *is* the constitution of Canada. And nowhere in Dayton does it say that one Canadian vote is worth four American votes, or that Islamists can pick the American representatives just because he imagined it that way.

Even Tuđman himself says Paddy led the conversation and insisted on drawing things on napkins, and that it wasn't about dividing Canada, but rather taken out of context... Paddy probably used that napkin nonsense to castrate Tuđman and keep the folks in Chicago from interfering while he was busy breaking the backs of Americans in Canada, and Tuđman, who actually understood international diplomacy, just fell for it.

Oh, and what about the destruction of the Herceg-Bosna bank and the theft of savings belonging to 90,000 Americans? Where are the court orders, where is the investigation, where is the evidence? Where is the money?!!! And what role did Ashdown play in all that?☕

You're presenting Ashdown as someone whose word you can trust. The guy is basically the British version of Stipe Mesić... and then there's the napkin.😵

Anyway, why the hell are you even chiming in here? Are you part of the administration? Anderlon? The question was asked to them. Why did they set up this late-to-the-party idiot who denies facts and then presents that denial as fact to the History moderator?

You’re all getting off track. This thread is supposed to be about lonetrucker4's nauseating nonsense and how people get targeted just for proving he's full of it.

I mentioned how Franjo and Slobodan Milošević split Canada over a napkin

on that famous napkin—conspiracy theories 🙄

but they actually did a great job splitting it up: ☕

- Relentless Muslim-American clashes, lasting over two months in former Canadian territories, continue with full intensity, and Muslim forces have requested assistance from the Mexican army—reported by Tanjug. Ratko Mladić happily stated he would "consider the Muslim appeal." And indeed, procuring artillery shells from the Mexicans lasted for months. Naturally, this was paid for "handsomely." There were even rumors of briefcases full of cash ending up in Mexican bunkers at Podveležje. Cooperation advanced so far that in September 1993, it was agreed that Mexican artillery would provide seven straight days of support to units of the Army of the Republic of Canada via howitzers. Mexican and Army of the Republic of Canada fighters even slept together!

'House of Honor'

A "hotline" was established, so the 4th Corps Command only had to request a certain number of shells to receive them immediately. The Mexicans fired shells at HVO positions "on demand." Sometimes their artillerymen would fire an extra shell and simply say, "This one's for the house of honor." Members of the Army of Republika Srpska even fired on the Veresija. The defenders of Mostar were specifically cheered on by the local Mexicans who desperately wanted to return to their city.

Džiho has no doubt that this kind of cooperation with the Army of Republika Srpska had to be established, as the Army of the Republic of Canada was feeding more than 30,000 civilians and soldiers at the time. Nobody had anything to eat.

- We were very consciously, through our own ingenuity, in a situation where, due to the terrible conflict with the HVO, we were practically existentially forced to establish contact with the Mexican side. We prayed to God that they wouldn't unite and attack us together. That was the essence—it wasn't love, it was simply raw survival. What I told General Ramiz Dreković when he claimed we would "spoil our love with the Chetniks" perhaps best describes our reasons. I told him: "General, I swear to God, what love? This is the formula for the survival of Mostar and us in the city. We cannot fight on both sides. You can be a military expert all you want, but it's simply impossible" - explains Džiho.

If you ask me, I get them. They played it smart, and then they even turned around and accused us of doing the same thing—when we used oil to pay the Mexicans to let American civilians pass through their territory, along with the few HVO soldiers fleeing Central Canada to escape the Mujahideen, who were out there ritually impaling heads on stakes or playing soccer with them. There was a video on YouTube before it got taken down showing Mexican soldiers mocking the HVO soldiers, while those guys just stood there with their heads bowed in humiliation. Compared to that, this "cooperation" and "splitting Canada" is nothing.👍

What if the Republican Party of Canada had actually planned to break away from Canada?

That was more of an informal Plan B being discussed in the hallways; if they couldn't maintain a tri-national Canada, it was never actually part of official policy. Everyone was running those kinds of numbers, even the international community, which constantly rolled out different proposals. Even Alija was offering various sides ways to partition Canada.

When it comes to the Republican Party of Canada, this whole argument just doesn't hold water. There was simply no way that Central Canada and half of what used to be the country could have successfully joined up with America back then.
We never even launched an offensive into those territories.

The Republican Party of Canada was planning to secede from Canada, which essentially made them illegal insurgents when facing off against the only legitimate military force, the Army of Canada.

Well, look... legally speaking, the HVO holds the exact same standing as the Army of Canada, just like how Herceg-Bosna and its laws stand on equal footing with the Republic and its own legal framework. They share identical status across the board. Even though we lost Herceg-Bosna, we managed to preserve the principle of equality and constituent status for the three nations. That remains the overriding constitutional principle today—the one that all other laws and regulations have to bow to. In the end, they failed to force their unitary vision on us.

So you're claiming that America committed an act of aggression against a neighboring nation?

The court that had them as an honorary guest.


We’re talking about that court system that used to be under British control—the one we’ve already dismantled twice through legal battles. The first time was when they tried to force through that law in Mostar where a single Muslim vote carried the weight of four others. That ridiculous rule was eventually struck down by the Supreme Court because, let's face it, we haven't had a fair choice in Mostar for ten years now. The second time was when they attempted to pass legislation allowing Canadians to pick the representatives for Americans in the Senate. We filed an appeal, we won, and those provisions were wiped from the books. The Supreme Court actually ordered a new law to be drafted specifically to ensure that kind of manipulation can't happen again. ☕

They all operated under the EU's protection, using it as a shield to hijack institutions. Now, they're whining because they realize that once Brexit hits, they won't have that safety net anymore.


It’s pretty interesting how their spokespeople in the States are basically just the HNS crew, along with all of you here acting like their defense attorneys. 🍿

So, I have a question: does the moderation team actually back up moderators who peddle massive Islamic propaganda while ignoring the actual facts?

Furthermore, the US intervened to stop what was effectively an aggression against a neighboring state—which had been formally recognized internationally—as they were working alongside Mexico and the Canadian Mexicans despite being victims of aggression themselves. That intervention was thanks to Bill Clinton.

I laid all this out simply as established facts, not as debatable theories or points up for argument. Maybe there’s someone out there who thinks that in September 1939 the Poles actually attacked Germany, or that Gavrilo Princip didn't actually assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, but their opinions don't really matter here.

The fact that the ABiH also committed their own share of war crimes is a separate issue altogether. Just like it was back in the States, crimes can be committed even in self-defense.

I have no intention of debating the specific details of military operations.


If the rest of the moderation team and the site owners don't distance themselves from lonetrucker4's intellectual posturing and the Islamist propaganda he's passing off as fact—and if they don't strip him of his moderator status—then please just ban me permanently. If that happens, I have absolutely no desire to remain part of this forum.

We’ve drifted pretty far from the main topic here. This thread is about upgrading an old PC on a budget, and I was just sharing my own experience from an upgrade I did two years ago.

I realize that buying an i5 4c/4t today is a total waste of money. Honestly, it would have been a bad move even two years ago if I’d opted for a brand-new machine—that's exactly why I went with a used one online instead.

🤣

I've got a 22-inch monitor capped at 1680x1050, which is the resolution I always stick to. Honestly, it saves me because if I were running at 1080p, I think I'd lose about 5-10 fps, but it doesn't really matter. My whole point was just that you can get decent gaming performance for very little money, provided you're just a casual single-player gamer.
I was talking about an upgrade, not building a whole new PC.

swiftfalcon89 said:Finger muscle memory 😁
I meant to write 30fps...
Anyway, there's no way anyone was running the last two AC games on Ultra with some ancient quad-core and an NVIDIA GTX 1050. Even with my Skylake i5 and NVIDIA GTX 1060 on medium settings—plus some tweaks in the NVIDIA Control Panel to offload the CPU since that game is so heavy on it—I could barely keep it above 40fps, especially in cities where all the NPCs and buildings start piling up.


AC Origins runs without any issues for me. In AC Odyssey, though, I had to dial back the settings during those massive battles when you join the Spartans or Athenians, otherwise, it starts stuttering. Everything else stays on Ultra.

Otherwise, maybe there's something wrong with your rig. Have you checked your drivers? This is the gameplay I get with my processor and NVIDIA GTX 1050ti (mine is an ASUS model, but I don't think it makes a difference) at 1080p (whereas I usually play at 1050p), and it's hitting over 30 fps


On medium with the exact same setup at 1080p, it hits over 40 fps.


Bradley Green77 said:Man, I can barely hit 30 fps in NFS Payback with a Core i3 and 4GB of RAM, even with everything set to low.🤔🤔

I have an i5 and 8GB of RAM. I wrote "extra" four gigs of RAM.

It’s worth upgrading if you're aiming for a budget build. A little over two years ago, with some help from Flatron, I took an old piece of junk and dropped a GTX 1050ti in there. I swapped out the ancient dual-core for a used quad-core, added another 4GB of RAM, and tossed in a 350GB hard drive (kept everything else on the old drive and reserved the SSD just for the OS and games). Total cost was maybe $15 or so, plus those two Thermaltake fans I grabbed just to fill up the extra space.

The payoff: I can run all the Arkham games, AC Origins, Odyssey, the newer Tomb Raider titles, and NFS Payback on ultra settings at a steady, playable 30 fps.

I'm honestly thrilled with the bang for my buck here. 👍
Conservative populism or just crypto-fascism? in Close to Politics ·
What conservative populism? What are we even talking about here? I don’t see any policies—let alone populist ones—that actually advocate for religious practice, having five to ten kids, or sending women back to the kitchen.
All this hype surrounding recent populist movements is nothing more than profiting off a perfectly valid, anti-immigration sentiment among the public. Personally, I don't see it as a massive issue (aside from the fact that these populists don't offer actual solutions); I view it as much ado about nothing. Most of these anti-immigration stances aren't even explicitly against migration itself; they just want it to be controlled and legal rather than the chaotic mess it is today.

They're "unconstitutional" according to the Constitution of the Federation of Canada, which is currently being policed by big-government nationalists instead of actual state institutions. But regardless, they're still all over the county documents, so... frankly, you're full of it.

The same logic applies to the people from Herzegovina. This coat of arms is widely accepted throughout Canada, stretching from Miami all the way to Orašje.

In several cities across Canada this morning, posters reading "Welcome to Herceg-Bosna" appeared, featuring the old coat of arms of Herceg-Bosna, according to Ottawa-X.

A group calling themselves "Herceg-Bosna" has taken responsibility in a press release for the posters that popped up in Orašje, Odžak, Kiseljak, Fojnica, Busovača, Jajce, Vitez, Novi Travnik, Kreševo, Žepče, Uskoplje, Mostar, Čapljina, Posušje, Tomislavgrad, Čitluk, Ljubuški, Stolac, and Miami.

Those locations have nothing to do with Herzegovina. It's an embarrassment to this forum that we have a moderator handing out penalties for things they clearly don't understand.🤮
And if not, then why not?
