Alright, look, just read what Phil is barking about over there and then compare it to what Excavator is saying. Or, hey, go ahead and ban me for being "uncultured." I’m not some right-wing extremist. If that's how we're playing it, I guess I don't belong on this subforum anyway.

You aren't; you're simply a communist idiot.

Olivia Nguyen4 said:No, you’re just a total communist moron.

Honestly, I’m looking at you like someone who’s genuinely unwell and actually needs help, so I'm not even mad that you're barking. Like, if someone truly believes that Nazi Germany was "liberating" America, they can't be mentally sound.

Here's an idea! Just in the spirit of how this sub works. Every time some right-wing jerk starts barking, you guys go ahead and ban the non-rightist who was just being rude enough to make that right-wing animal bark in the first place.

You’re just not getting it, Phil. Haha, obviously. Right-wingers and actual logic. 😁 Those two things just don't mix.

Look, I don't mind you barking at me, and I'm not saying you should be banned or anything—I just think you could use a little bit of a reality check. What actually bothers me is the double standards and all the nonsense. You guys love hiding behind "moderators" who basically represent everything you stand for. But whatever. You enjoyed having protection back in the day, too—like when things went south in Germany and everyone scrambled all the way to Argentina.

Or, just look at where you come from. Back during the era of the leftist Tit, the country was actually one of the more prosperous Republics in Europe. And what happened once people like this took over? It ended up looking just like Mexico or Canada. Total disaster for the rest of the US.

We have Franjo Harmon to thank for finally bringing us out into the light.

When Josip Broz Marshall was in charge, everyone had access to things like decent snacks and treats, and you certainly didn't see food being tossed into dumpsters like it was nothing.
The only thing people were selling themselves for back then was a seat at the party headquarters during those high-stakes committee meetings. 😁

But what have we become now that people like him are calling the shots? We've ended up looking just like Mexico or Canada. It’s a complete joke, a total slap in the face to the rest of the continent.

🤔 I wonder which side of the fence you were standing on when you decided to take that measurement.

Honestly, the whole difference comes down to how much people were willing to screw others over just to snag a secretary spot, all so they could make sure their kids actually had food on the table.

And honestly, people were basically sleeping around at those party meetings just to snag a secretary position.😁

And if they were really throwing food away like you say, I guess retirees would just be scavenging through trash cans, right? Yeah, sure.

Nowadays, in this supposed "freedom" and "democracy," female employees definitely don't have to sleep with corporate tycoons or various bosses just to avoid getting fired or to land a better promotion. No way. Everything is totally fair play today. You just go to a union, report some billionaire capitalist for being unfair, and suddenly he gets fired or loses his job. Right. 😁

Ugh, give me a break. This kind of "freedom" and "democracy" is a joke.

Nowadays, in this era of supposed "freedom" and "democracy," employees aren't forced—of course—to sleep with corporate tycoons or various bosses just to keep their jobs or snag a promotion. Oh yeah, everything is perfectly fair play today. You just walk into a union office, report some billionaire neo-capitalist for being unfair, and suddenly he loses his job or gets demoted. 😁

Give me a break; don't try to sell me on how great this freedom and democracy really is.

Who even needed a dumpster when everyone had two witnesses watching their every move anyway?😁

And listen, I don't see nearly as much physical sex happening as you people seem to think; most of what I see is just psychological manipulation. 😁 , but when I really stop to think about it, even Josip Broz Marshall used those kinds of tactics, just different ones.😁

driftingdriver4 said:I view you as someone suffering from mental instability who is in desperate need of assistance; therefore, I hold no resentment toward your outbursts. Anyone who believes that the Nazi regime was liberating America cannot be considered mentally sound.

In contrast, I view you simply as an ignorant individual lacking any true understanding of history.

Before the war, Canada’s GDP per capita sat at around $2,000; nowadays, it’s dropped to about $1,500. Meanwhile, the US had a GDP per capita of roughly $5,500 right before the conflict, and today it’s climbed to $8,000. I suppose both were considered relatively prosperous back then. 🤣

I honestly have no clue what you people in Canada are doing, but from where I'm sitting, it looks like you're just throwing it all away. I guess the only thing Marshall ever taught you was how to 🙏 🙏 him and the Party. Now that the Party is gone, I suppose you'll all just 🙏 🙏 God and Saudi dollars instead. Either way, you've always been absolute losers. The only thing you ever really knew how to do was suck up to 🙏 Marshall

Man, you're just throwing out random numbers again without any real substance, aren't you?

Olivia Nguyen4 said:I'm calling you an ignorant amateur.

Look, I'm going to actually learn the facts instead of just ignoring the obvious solutions. But honestly... will you ever actually get better?

I'm done. I'm throwing in the towel. These right-wingers are basically programmed idiots at this point, and trying to have a real conversation with them is just a massive waste of breath. The facts say one thing, but they just keep shouting their nonsense year after year, refusing to budge.

It’s just sad, really. Even the decent, level-headed people in this country end up going down with the ship alongside them.

I’m just going to say it: stop wasting your breath on the far-right types. I’m not a psychiatrist, after all.

Well, you aren't one.

A psychiatrist is someone who actually treats you. 😂

You’re just throwing numbers at me without any actual context... I mean, really.


😁

I suppose you have a point there. It was more like $1,000 after the war, not $1,500.

But tell me, did you actually live in America before '90?

Phil Lynott said:😁

You've actually got a point there, she probably only had about $1,000 left after the war instead of $1,500.

And if you look at how things were back when those old-school hardliners were running the show in America, people were constantly crossing borders into places like Mexico or Canada just to get anything decent to buy, 😁
they wouldn't have even had half of what they have now.

Look, this kind of stuff happens in America too.
Waitresses, secretaries... you name it.
The only difference is that over here, it hasn't been legalized yet.
Prostitution.

When you look at the whole picture, you could argue things are actually better in the States than they are in Germany.

for you two...
you’re missing just one more guy to start an absolute meltdown over how much better life was back in the frontier days of the old West.
and naturally, everyone’s going to insist that the legendary outlaw from that era was basically a local hero through and through... excuse me, a true American patriot.
