You will be fine. Should, against all odds, the US Americans start chasing you with pitchforks I will give you shelter in my cellar though. I am in support of giving shelter to refugees afterall.

Good thing preservation of the status quo hasn't been the dominant position throughout humanity, otherwise we would still be living in caves and the best approximation of NeoGAF would be a meeting in another cave.
Japan has done a good job of maintaining the status quo.

It is a modern phenomenon wanting the entire world to blend together into some weird multicultural blob.

Countries have built big Castles and massive walls just to protect themselves from being taken over by other nations. The idea of preservation predates modern Republicans.

I'm more of a "stand your ground" person.
If all we do is "run" then when exactly are we going to have a place called "home"? It's very clear the modern progressive movement is a global one and wont stop untill the entire world is one.

I don't want to be wanderer, I want to preserve my history.

I would like to nominate JordanN JordanN to be an unofficial American. He's got a good spirit for rugged individuality that we like. He likes to research before speaking, not bad. He's coming around for me, I like him.

Appreciate the gesture, although I see myself as being a Canadian at heart.

Believe or not, I see the Canada/U.S connection to be a modern invention. Before the 1990s, Canada's identity was being the Little Britain/France of the North.

Ok, maybe that is still a similar description to the U.S, but I still like to envision both countries as being unique from each, but still able to co-exist peacefully.

Don't have time for due diligence right now, just swung through /v/ briefly for no good reason and noticed an ongoing thread chain regarding REE. Banish to Vormir if old.

Looks like the splinter cell has created a new splinter cell for people that are sick of the totalitarian moderation policies?

https://metacouncil.com/forums/metagaming.2/

There was also a link to this thing showing some very interesting, funny and yet totally not unexpected data:

https://resetera.kiwifarms.net/graphs
 
Breh that site has been around since at least September last year. Probably earlier. You should be banished to Vormir.

Well then, cast me into the pit. I'm about to go drinking, no time for things that only wimps do like checking facts and data before I post them from other sites.
 
I always find it funny when foreigners get so in deep with our elections. Like, beyond a headline or so, we could care less about the elections around us. Some people get in deep though and act like they are Americans arguing for their democracy and freedoms and stuff.

"What America does affects the rest of us! So, that's why I'm so intently debating it"

Followed or preceded by

"Hahaha, dumb Americans, giving so much importance and so much power to one person so far away from yourself".
 
Looking at those graphs and my memory seems to be failing me. What happened in Dec that caused those massive spikes?
I think there was one thread which caused a couple of other threads where sweetnicole and a couple of the mods lost his/her shit and banned a couple of hundred users and then it came to light the banned users were correct so rather than apologising and admitting they were wrong they doubled down and went all in for a thanos like cleanse

I explained near the top of the last page why Canada watches your elections so much, and I guess it's also true for many of your other trading partners.

Some of your politics affect other countries more then even your own population.

Like Donald with the "trade deficit" talk. Many other countries don't consume as much as the US consumes of everything. So right now everything regarding trade and tariffs affect those countries economies and population as well.

Thankfully most countries have seen now,that relying mainly on the US and China isn't going to end well for them, and are starting to make other deals with other countries to diversify.

The US has the privilege right now to act insular and only look out for itself, but you really should be looking at what other countries are doing in order to be ahead of the curve.
 
I haven't checked this thread or Resetera for a while. Give me a status report, if you would be so kind. Has Resetera improved at all in the past few months? By "improved," I mean gotten more reasonable, relaxed in their moderation, more open to alternative points of view. Or are they just as SJW, over-reactive, and group-thinkey as ever?

SJW's are literally handing the election to Trump. Keep it up, we need more of them sitting out November 3rd, 2020.

See? Biden running for President is one of the greatest things to happen to Trump so far. I knew SJW's brains couldn't handle 2 straight white males running for President.

Also on that same page, SJW's are going apeshit over Sanders again.

Bernie, Biden, Trump. I think we have a triumvirate on our hands.

I just had a thought. If the Democrats were serious, they should have ran Michelle Obama or Oprah. I feel like Trump would be up against much more tougher competition then.
Hell, even Kanye West might have been a stronger pick.

But having Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders lead the pack is just repeating the same mistakes from 2016. They wont ever be considered "progressive enough" for being white males.

That's because the establishment wing of the Democrats (Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, etc) does not want to cede any power or victory to the Progressive upstarts within the party, so the DNC is going to pick someone who represents DNC (establishment) interests.

Progressives would be lucky if Bernie won the primary, but it's probably gonna be someone like Biden or Hillary.
 
Of course no what are you on about bruv🤣🤣

Wishful thinking, I guess. I thought maybe they had done a strategic crackdown to purge the rolls of all dissidents, and then once that mission was accomplished, they'd dial back on the SJW/authoritarian thing a bit.

I guess not. :messenger_smirking:

Which is particularly damning when it comes to running against Trump, because Trump now has the double advantage of being the most experienced yet non-conformist / establishment. I feel by what I read online, that a conformist or conservative in the literal sense (rather than as a descriptor for the political right) such as Biden has almost no chance against Trump, as long as Trump does not upset moderate right wing voters too much (which he does not seem to do right now). Sanders vs. Trump, I feel, would be a much more interesting debate and much more open competition.
 
Can you guys not make this a political thread instead of a shit on Ree thread? Thanks.

The Politics sub-forum can be found by looking at the side bar on the left of your screen. If you want to argue about if the President will get re-elected or not, please go do that there.

The whole obsession with reee needs to vanish from here. We're a healthy community so I don't know why we aren't moving on exactly

Yeah, but it's the choice between the lesser of two evils.

Who will protect free speech, gun rights, lower taxes, and limited immigration?

In a perfect world, Left & Right politics might actually mean something. But only Republicans seem to care about preserving things about America that have existed since 1776.
But when you have Democrats openly threatening to abolish the Electoral College, why on earth would you trust them to run the country?

The only other alternative is to do away with Democracy and balkanize the U.S, but even that would bring up a host of new problems.

Edit: And in regards to Israel, funnily enough, he is actually suppose to have a plan ready in regards to ending the conflict. Who knows when he'll actually unveil it though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_policy_of_Donald_Trump_(2015-2016)#Deal_of_the_Century

The Electoral College is a non democratic system and should never have existed. Hillary got more votes than Trump but lost. Romney got more % votes than Trump but he lost and Trump won. The system needs to be thrown out.

And Trumps so called "peace plan" is basically a surrender plan for the Palestinians. Israel gets everything they want, Palestinians the crumbles.

Kanye is a Trump supporter.

The US is not a direct democracy. It is a constitutional republic and was designed that way to protect it from mob rule.
 
You can call it whatever you want, its a stupid and undemocratic system.
If the US changed to the popular vote the president would be decided by NY and California 99% of the time. The candidates would only campaign in those 2 states and win based on what they promise those 2 states.

How could a small state like Maine or Rhode Isand ever hope to get a voice in the system? It would serve the smallest part of the country, with the largest population.

That seems like the exact opposite you would want to do with a country as wide as the US.

Edit: didn't see EviLore EviLore post until after I hit reply.

Sorry. My bad.

Feel free to move or delete it if needed.

Subjects that a 13-14 year old kids talk about...

There is a "butt thread" and a "bronie" thread in off-topic right now. Also the other day I saw an entire page of a Kate Beckinsale thread made up of people that were discussing the size of her boyfriends dick.



Gaf is hardly the adult table of the internet lol

No harm in having jokes and fun. Better than fighting each other and create problems among others. Sorry we aren't much of adults to you

Okay, but that is what Era is doing. Jokes and fun. Why is it okay for Gaf to have silly threads mixed in with the serious ones and not Era? lol That makes no sense.
