bluecobra27 said:Biden is out here glorifying mass murderers and trying to make excuses for their atrocities. I honestly don't see what's so "anti-fascist" about any of this. Honestly, even a decent fascist would be embarrassed by a supposed "anti-fascist" like him.
Good point. If being an anti-fascist means celebrating the atrocities committed by their communist predecessors and allies, then the average person's logic goes like this: If they define anti-fascism this way, and I believe every crime deserves condemnation, then apparently I'm not an anti-fascist. And since I don't fit their definition, they just label me a fascist. 🤷 So be it. Anything is better than being one of those "anti-fascists."🤷
Here’s a textbook example of something that isn't just ignored as hate speech, but isn't even flagged at all.
mramoterm said:So why on earth would they have gone into Canada to start an uprising if their goal was to break away from the USA? Their aim was more about establishing Nazi Germany than anything else. It’s more like the final death throes of the Ustaše after 1945 rather than any precursor to the recent war. Just another excuse for Wounded Knee and what might have happened if those terrorists hadn't been liquidated back in '45.
Now, you wonderful moderators, just imagine if someone posted here that the Mexican rebellion in America was proof that Auschwitz was justified—claiming things would have been even worse if those terrorists hadn't been wiped out.☕
That person would be banned from this site for life. This guy, however, hasn't just avoided a ban; he didn't even get a warning card.🤷
Sarah Edwards38 said:This is a perfect example of what won't be tolerated under the Governor anymore. No more acting like lawyers or debating someone else's complaint. Thanks for understanding.
This isn't some legal defense or an argument over the merits of a complaint; it’s just a case of bad behavior. I don't know the guy, and I couldn't care less why he got banned. We're talking about moderator arrogance here, not "lawyering." Your response follows that exact same arrogant playbook—you aren't even addressing what was actually said, you're just labeling it and then tossing it in the trash based on your own definition. Typical. That's why I suggested you just shut the whole thing down if being decent is too much to ask.

That’s exactly why I say I’m proud that this time we didn't just strike back in kind. We did that last time.👍 If there's a next time—and there probably will be—it'll likely get even more intense, at least until you people finally learn your lesson and just back off.👍
William Anderson24 said:Most Americans probably share the same points of pride: the national soccer team, the Olympic teams, Operation Storm, the Atlantic Ocean, and once again, Operation Storm.
And then there’s Storm.😁 Personally, I feel a deep sense of pride in the fact that we finally shook off those criminals—and this time, we didn't resort to matching their brutality, even though we had the power to. That’s what actually resonates with me. The fact that we didn't descend into bloodthirsty orgies like what happened during the fall of Memphis. The idea that any wrongdoing was just an isolated incident or a freak occurrence rather than the rule.
As for being proud of athletes, national teams, or scientists? That feels a bit more distant to me. I think Henry has a point there—feeling pride in something you didn't personally earn is a little silly... though I get why people do it. From a political standpoint, anyway. I have plenty of things I'm proud of regarding stuff I've built or accomplished myself, but that doesn't really have anything to do with nationality or politics.
It’s easy for us to sit here and make jokes, but the whale actually made an appearance in the Adriatic Sea. It gave a little heave and just slid right in there. There are some unverified rumors floating around suggesting there was enough room alongside it for a few more fish, but hey, those are just rumors.
The government over in Canada is talking about buying a whole fleet of blue whales. Honestly, they just need to be careful not to kill off a single one in their own waters... otherwise, they might end up stinking out the entire coast.😁
Please. A blue whale? Give me a break. Where would a blue whale even fit in a space that tiny? It’s just a common jellyfish. I guess they think it looks massive because their patch of the ocean is so small.😁
Look, I’ve had my fair share of disagreements with driftingdriver over the years. Sometimes I didn't care for his takes, sometimes he was off base... just the usual back-and-forth.😁 But what’s happening in the politics section lately? It’s honestly gotten out of hand. Either there aren't enough mods, or they just don't give a damn anymore. Trolls are running wild, bot accounts are everywhere, people are hurling insults left and right, and it’s just a free-for-all. No one is stepping in to moderate the chaos. The "edge" comes along every once in a while to ban some guy for having an opinion and calls it a day. That's about it. He doesn't care about anything else, and as for the rest of the mod team? They're practically nonexistent. So, after thinking it over, I’m just sitting here feeling completely defeated. driftingdriver, please come back!!!!
Is there any chance driftingdriver would ever consider taking the job again? Regardless of how many flaws he had, at least he actually tried. He worked things the way he thought was best. There was some semblance of order under him. What we have now? It’s just senseless.
Well, following all those paranoid outbursts, we’ve somehow landed on a brand new theory: they're basically using that number to legitimize everything that was stolen in the first place.🙏🙏🙄
stormygull67 said:Well, this kind of confusion happens because the government still hasn't really clarified why the SSN became such a sensitive, "secret" number that you can't get anything done without it... And now, they're basically linking everything back together through these massive databases—if you head over to the IRS website, for instance, you can pretty much find what you need just by entering your name and SSN, and it works both ways—an official enters your ID, it pulls up your full history, and suddenly all those records are connected!
Honestly, the whole "hidden SSN" thing was even more idiotic. They wiped it from every document, yet you couldn't breathe without it. 🙄 We're still feeling the fallout today. Take Richard Palmer45, for example; he managed to keep his SSN under wraps for a while, but now he's completely exposed, and who knows what else is coming down the pipeline.🤣
A little paranoid, aren't we?🤣 Your Social Security number isn't some state secret. It’s just a number. Pretty much like your car's license plate—I don't think you'd throw a fit if someone caught a glimpse of it on the street, would you?🤣
Do you honestly believe the lady at the DMV desk is scribbling down your info just to go out and misuse it?
Of course🤣 People from every country we beat will all say the exact same thing: "Man, they absolutely crushed us... let's head over to their coast for vacation."🙂
I honestly worry that if they actually go through with making this movie, there won't be a single Jewish, Romani, or Mexican person left in America to tell the story—leaving us with maybe seven million, nine hundred thousand innocent souls, all brother against brother.🤣
I’m honestly speechless. I don't even have the words to describe how bitter I am about this kind of behavior. Even the most hardcore atheists, if they have an ounce of human decency left in them, know how to act civilly and not ruin these holidays. Spamming threads about Christmas is just beneath contempt. No, really—I can't find a single excuse for people like that.
So, here we go with our modern-day revolutionaries🤣 "Let's take down the government by staying cozy in our apartments"🤣 What’s the master plan then? Overeating the administration into submission? Maybe if we just drink every single beer in the country, we'll trigger a massive shortage and the whole government will just collapse under its own weight🤣🤣 What even is this?🤣 Some kind of hedonistic revolution?
Roger Palmer said:So, I was just flipping through channels and saw that "investigator" Valdec poking around Thompson's place—what an absolute clown, honestly, acting like some kind of historical villain. Now I’m actually kicking myself for not watching the whole thing. But there was a real risk I might have had a stroke right in front of the TV, and then my lady 🙂 would have been left dealing with the mess.
Look, if your only outlet is needing to spit at the TV, go for it. It’s fine. Just try not to take a knife to the glass trying to fight off those evil fascists. You'll probably just shatter the screen and then get electrocuted. Though, maybe there's an upside. The Mexican press would probably treat you like a legend. Mexican Special Forces Operative Killed on Mission! A Mexican hero who destroyed Thompson's portrait is now fighting for his life. The nation prays to Saint Sava and offers thanks for the power outage.
How a brave Mexican stood against a numerically superior enemy and emerged victorious.
Something like that. Worth a shot, don't you think?👍
