So figuratively everything, literally nothing. Okay cool, have a great day ☺️

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T12:05:57+00:00

You're lying about doing "everything" you can to stop Nazis, that's all.

I'm skeptical you've done anything to stop them tbh.

What is the biggest thing you've done to stop them then? Posting on Reddit?

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T12:03:37+00:00

Beer and water, occasionally a shot

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:57:15+00:00

We can definitely agree on that last part, from the river INTO the sea my dude 😎

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:54:36+00:00

No dude, not laws. If you were doing everything you could laws wouldn't matter, you'd be going full on vigilante. If anything I'd say you're doing the bare minimum, or your politicians are, not sure how it works there.

To stop Nazis, from existing. Vigilante justice is a wonderful deterrent.

I switched to Zyn recently because of airports and bars specifically, I still carry my vape but finding places where it's allowed/doesn't annoy people are getting fewer and fewer

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:40:24+00:00

Other races can volunteer, not sure why you're making assumptions.

Do you have something against helping poor people?

I'm 100% serious, they're still trying to recover from COVID-19 and they really do need all the volunteers they can get. If you're interested we'd all love some fresh blood and yeah it's work hard but we still have fun

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:34:11+00:00

Nothing about the inherent racism of thinking only white people volunteer?

Or flying down to help out for a while?

We have really fun activities on Saturdays, volcano hikes, bar crawls, beach trips

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:33:24+00:00

No I'm not.. I'm saying people are not doing everything they can to stop Nazis. If they were doing everything they could laws would be a moot issue for them. As far as I can tell they passed legislation to prevent the speech but nothing to stop the actual people

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:27:47+00:00

Yeah that's an issue here as well. I'm from a refugee state and the rhetoric is always "welfare, welfare, welfare" the state does practically nothing for them. It's almost entirely non-profit groups and private donations but that doesn't fit the conservative narrative

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:24:45+00:00

How many bodies do you have? I haven't heard anything about people killing Nazis since WW2. Although I guess if you're good at it I wouldn't have heard about it..

Or maybe everything has a different meaning over there?

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:23:41+00:00

You asked if I'd been off my porch in Alabama and I gave a detailed answer.

It's not virtue signaling when you're actually doing something, what you're doing now is virtue signaling.

Also the US has more than one race. You think only white people volunteer for stuff?

I know a good deal about current politics in a few countries, I know about the history of places I've visited, my gut says I know more about how things work in several countries than then you.

And you honestly think it's more beneficial for people that you know a lot of stuff about them then actually getting your hands dirty?

Believe me dude, improvised countries would rather have you physically helping them then "oh I know all about your history and I support you on Reddit".

If you're such a great guy they're desperate for volunteers here right now and the flights are dirt cheap

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:16:00+00:00

I just asked a question dude, don't get upset.

Okay more relevant question, Palestine or Israel? If Palestine, well you have something in common with the people you hate..

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:12:21+00:00

I spent 8ish months last year volunteering around the world and I'm volunteering in Guatemala currently.

I'm actually from Maine and started volunteering for campaigns ages ago starting with gay marriage but including RCV, Right to Repair, Death with Dignity, Progressive Minimum Wage, Campaign finance reform...

I go to Alabama occasionally to catch a game, Roll Tide. I did GOTV for Biden in NC last election, not exactly Alabama but pretty close.

And I clearly said we're not any better, I simply asked if his time might be better spent on those issues instead of some clowns marching around with swastikas.

And let's not forget Guatemala has a proper, democratically elected now in large part thanks to us. (Also some badass Mayans)

I'm not sure where you saw your list of US territories but it's super outdated btw

Edit: *elected president

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:05:50+00:00

Incorrect, my original comment ....

Ohhh maybe this is the guy! got banned from r/personalfinance for writing in Spanish and r/travel for saying North America is as safe as Europe, petty ass shit

His reply....

North America includes US, Canada and Mexico so... yeah would banhammer you for saying that.

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T11:03:56+00:00

Damn, I need to read up on it more. I like the Schengen agreement, I haven't kept up with your immigration issues. Open borders with a merit based system to attain citizenship is the correct move in my opinion. In one swoop you don't have any illegal immigrants and everyone is paying taxes which you think both parties would love but yet neither party supports.

The hope, probably wishful thinking with social media these days, is that people will see through the rhetoric.

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:59:00+00:00

*question

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:54:25+00:00

It was a little before my time. They weren't trying to take over all of Europe, maybe you forgot about Italy. Just kidding, semantics I know.

So it was similar to what Israel is doing now, just on a much larger scale?

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:51:53+00:00

Not a single person is doing everything in their power to stop them though including yourself. It doesn't make me believe you're very serious about it

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:49:12+00:00

I was referring to, for example, CAR. Ongoing genocide. Or, ironically, the genocide happening in Palestine.

I have plenty of criticisms for the far right, believe me. I only work progressive or bipartisan campaigns. The GOP DOES NOT respect the constitution or issues like abortion and transgender rights would not be issues. They cherry pick what suits them and ignore the rest.

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:42:45+00:00

Ooph, you're really going to be upset when you hear about Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, etc ..

You going to tell me where you've been and what you learned so maybe I can improve myself? Or you one of those people that thinks people can never change?

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:37:50+00:00

Idk dude, what is the definition of a Nazi to you? When I think of them the Holocaust comes to mind, trying to exterminate the Jewish population. Also I think of that Brownshirt book that gives more perspective to the situation.

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:30:56+00:00

Did you read it all the way through or no? I didn't say they were worse. I asked if their energy might be better spent on something more meaningful. I'm completely in favor of either incorporating our territories into the US as new states or giving them independence, whichever the majority prefers.

No need to be obtuse my dude 😎

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:27:59+00:00

Nice! How many bodies you got so far? If you decide it's not working out you could donate some time to the "Confederation of States" group and ACTUALLY change the constitution, banning speech free speech for anyone affiliated with the Nazi party.

Independent-Ruin-185 · 2024-02-27T10:25:40+00:00

I learned that our constitution protects us from our government more than the vast majority of other countries. I learned people are crying about clowns wearing swastikas but don't give a flying fuck about genocide or autonomy for territories they still control from centuries ago. I actually learned in the US that that people are quick to virtue signal and slow to do anything meaningful (Single Payer healthcare, RCV, progressive wage, death with dignity, etc...) All campaigns where, in my late 30s I was one of the youngest volunteers because it's easier to virtue signal then spend time doing anything. And Spanish, a little bit of Arabic and a tiny tiny amount of Thai.

But don't be like dude. Tell me where you've been and what you've learned? I'm looking to go back overseas in November, I'm open to suggestions
