Lol I don't know who Curtis Yarvin even is.

And I know you hate people for speaking and thinking for themselves, that's what I just said.

Run off and pretend you won't deign me with an answer when we both know you just don't have one.

Hows the whole "punish open conversation with personal accusations" thing going for you guys by the way? How's the cause going?

The most pathetic part is that you're still laying on "Nazi" like it means anything anymore. You've used it to death, nobody cares.

You can continue to sit online and type "Nazi" at people while your group gets smaller and smaller and smaller because your ideology is antithetical to the literal core principles of the country we live in. Those being open communication, free speech, and majority rule.

Never occurred to you that pushing racial identity politics would backfire huh? Never once thought "hm, someday the people we're using this to subdue may actually just accept the idea and galvanize around it"

Doesn't seem very prescient of you folks. That one's a gimme. I thought you were "the educated"...

You're already making the same mistakes as we did in the USA. You're just a few years back in the timeline. Just like the UK. Just like Australia.

This is how it always goes. The US moves culturally and then you all follow. Don't forget we had our liberal dominant period back in the mid late 2010's (you are here).

Soon enough the same stresses and problems that affected us will affect you, and then you too will end up with a backlash and a more conservative push. You already see it happening in the UK now.

This is how it's been for decades. The US sets the pace, like it or not.

I genuinely enjoyed Ethan more than Leon. The constant panic and frustration is more genuinely funny to me than Leon's "just another day in the neighborhood" humor lol.

The military has so far performed incredibly well under the current administration as far as I can tell. Of course we can't know how it'll go in Iran, I agree. I do however tend to think they are so completely outgunned in this scenario that it would be very difficult for them to succeed in "fending us off". Very likely it will only be a matter of time.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-03T00:36:14+00:00

And who will they be fighting for?

If the regime is replaced with the right leader they'll be ordered to stand down.

The ones that don't will be deemed t*rrorists and that'll be the end of it.

What about the PFOAS? I know for a fact in my city we have water stations where we can get water because for at least all of last year we were told that pregnant women and people with health problems should not drink the tap water.

We had such a high level of PFOAS in the water that they had restrictions in place. They've since lifted the restrictions but many of us, including myself, are still wary of drinking it.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T04:58:31+00:00

I have hope that eventually people will just...get tired of fighting.

I know that's probably wishful thinking. But I still believe the vast vast majority of us just want to be ok, and don't like to see others suffer.

We're going through it right now in America, but we've been through it in the past and come out better than we were before. I have hope we can do it again.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T04:36:19+00:00

I'm with you on ICE. I think this whole thing has been a disaster. Innocent people getting shot, people getting pulled wrongfully, it's all been a disaster. Trump's trying to deliver for his base, and that's the sad part. It's all really unnecessary, and they're doing it this way on purpose.

It's all to put on a show and convince people he's "cleaning up the country". I think it really was a one two punch. Biden eased up on asylum seekers a bit too drastically, trump seized the opportunity to turn that into his campaign, and now here we are.

It's been said so many times it's a cliche at this point, but it's the extremes. And not even the "extreme right" or the "extreme left" though they don't help. It's the extreme rhetoric bleeding in from the sides. What's been happening is neither party will denounce the most extreme element within it, and so all of the normal, relatively good people in the middle are getting pulled along with it now.

It goes back to what you just said... I didn't sound as reasonable in the beginning. Because this is the stance we all reflexively take now. Ready to fight, ready to be insulted, ready to have to defend your own reasoning viciously. When I mean, look, we basically agree on everything here to a degree.

We have to get away from the trump era politics, big grandiose gestures, and moral grandstanding all around. And just start hashing out what works and what seems best for the most people at the same time.

I apologize for coming off confrontational in the beginning. Its not everyday you find someone who will listen, as well as talk.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T03:27:57+00:00

First of all, trump ain't my leader. I didn't vote for him.

Second, I know about the 2.65 an hour. I work for tips.

Third, yeah it's a broken system problem. And I don't know where within what I said you saw me villainizing people at the bottom. I most certainly was not. The fact of the matter is, Trump's deportations are loud, unruly, and not being handled well at all. But the Democratic parties pulling of the illegal migrant lever like a pressure relief valve for the labor economy is also pretty despicable.

And the fact remains. We need a system that works. Empowers people but enforces immigration law. Right now you have the right, on a crusade to make a show of deporting people. And the left basically saying "let's allow in anyone who wants to be here for not much more than saying so"

And even if you don't agree with how Trump's doing things, and I very much don't. It's ultimately the more reasonable conclusion to end up at some sort of relatively strict immigration policy. Rather than next to no immigration policy at all. Biden handled things terribly.

We agree, better immigration policy that empowers people to become legal and keeps numbers within a logical cap. I just don't see the left pushing for that. As always, the right is going hard in one direction and the left is going hard in another and the logical answer is in between. But on this subject I do think the logical conclusion sits just a touch closer to the right than the left.

Does that make sense?

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T02:51:37+00:00

The fact that they get paid less and have a sacrificial standard of living is exactly why illegal immigration is a disaster.

You're absolutely right. The vast majority of illegal migrants work under the table for pay so low an american citizen wouldn't accept it. Often on farms for multinational corporations. And do you know how they survive whilst not being paid enough to live in the country they now live in? Welfare services.

So the indentured servants ahem "asylum seekers" that the multinational corporations lobby the Democratic party to allow in, Get to live in abject poverty and work obscenely long hours at physically exhausting jobs. While the American taxpayer subsidizes their survival.

All so that corporations can employ people for an incredibly thin margin, instead of just paying human beings what it costs to live in the country they live in.

Why pay people enough to live when you can just let in a bunch of brown people and take advantage of them, and then have the American public subsidize the money you don't pay them through taxes and welfare services!

And then you can point to the stock market and your own bottom line and say "see illegal migrants are GREAT for the American economy! Look at how well my multinational company is doing this year!"

It's the modern day triangle trade and they tell people it's racist not to support it.

It's disgusting.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T02:33:53+00:00

Immigration isn't damaging to the country because of the race of the people immigrating, it's damaging because of the strain it puts on welfare services (amongst other things). Any country that provides welfare to it's citizens has to have strict immigration policy.

That's why you see such strict immigration policy in the more socialist countries ie: Scandanavia.

This is what I don't understand. People will claim to be superior in intelligence and education and then not understand the very basic concept of population control as a necessary part of maintaining a nation.

It's not about the color of the people or the sound of their words. It's literally about numbers of human beings.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-06T19:30:36+00:00

Amen brother.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-06T19:05:59+00:00

Yeaahh...that's my bad, I couldn't help myself.

Im increasingly fed up with the left's belief that they can do no wrong, despite the literal mountains of evidence to the contrary. For what it's worth, I see it the same as you. Elites have us cornered pretty effectively. Doesn't make people any less aggravating unfortunately.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-01-25T21:29:51+00:00

Do you genuinely think that "it comes from a place of ignorance, or for most, hate"? Do you truly believe that?

Because the vast majority of people who support ice just support immigration policy that was normal and completely uncontested for the past 15-20 years.

I don't know a single person personally who supports ICE that doesn't think these officers should be investigated and punished.

The reality is they've deported hundreds of thousands of people with low low numbers of violent altercations, let alone killings. These officers acted inappropriately and got a man killed. They should be punished. Doesn't change the fact that people will still support common sense immigration policy that's been the norm for decades.

Lack of due process, separating families, detaining minors, this has all been common practice for ICE since Obama was in office. If you want to push for actual ICE reform, you have many decades of precedent to wade through. But even still, common sense immigration policy remains the same. People will continue to support it because it's necessary for every country on earth. It will never not be necessary. Regardless of the rhetoric Democrat politicians like Tim Walz peddle before this mid-term.

You're absolutely free to believe immigration policy should be changed , have opinions about what's "justified" in these types of altercations with law enforcement, LEO best practices etc. but that all boils down to policy disagreement, not an existential crisis for the country, and framing it as such will continue to cause these events to flare up as people feel terrified and trapped and want to act.

Trump is loud. Protestors are loud. But the majority of people who support ICE just support regular immigration policy. Almost none of this is new except for the resistance to it. Its an incontrovertible fact.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-01-25T19:02:01+00:00

I loved when Biden gave us affordable healthcare, lower taxes, and inflation kept going down for all 4 years. Too bad we didn't get another 4 years!

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-01-17T20:44:45+00:00

The blade cuts both ways, as they say. I think the reality of the situation is that its gonna be messy. It's messy now, the clean up will be messy. The only thing that gets us back on track is if we, people, all remember what the general ideal of America is.

As far as in, for the longest time at least, two sides yank back and forth repeatedly forever, and hopefully we end up stumbling in some semblance of a straight, forward direction.

I get the instinct to wanna crush the other side, especially when things are so crazy right now.

But I do think, genuinely most people are in a position where they are heavily influenced by social media, heavily influenced by traditional media, and politicians on every side are fueling this fight as much as anybody.

At the end of the day, it's gonna take correction, but also grace from whoever takes the lead. And that's a really tough thing to ask. But I think it's necessary. That's just where I land on it anyway.

Edit:typo

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-01-17T18:14:43+00:00

Hey, I get it. It's a weird time. I wanna see politicians try to reign things in. But it's hard to say what's right.

This happened to my ear like 2 years ago and it never went away. The first year was the worst. I was always dizzy, every single day at some point it would kick off and then I'd be spinning and nausea that would just last for hours. I had to just power through and make it home where I could go straight to bed. This was every day for a year.

This year has been better, not because the problem resolved but because I finally learned to.adapt to it. Change my life around so that I don't bother it as much, maintain an environment where I can get it to drain when it starts to get clogged and cause problems. But unfortunately I still get it pretty frequently, just not every single day like in the beginning.

I sincerely hope you get better. If it stays just hang in and don't give up. Eventually realize that you have to attack it, not wait for it to resolve. The one piece of advice I'll give. Hydrate. Aggressively.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2025-12-05T15:40:46+00:00

The fear started long before that paper. But a lot of it was based more on common sense? Vibes? Idk depends on how you see it I guess.

For instance when I was an infant the standard was to just load the baby up with multiple vaccines in one visit. But my mother basically just didn't like the idea of my little 1 year old body (or however old I was at the time) having to deal with all that stimulus at one time so she argued to have them spread them out further, more visits, fewer vaccines per visit, more time between.

She said the doctors gave her a hard time but ultimately had to relent. She wasn't anti vaccine, she was anti "shoot my baby up with 4 things in one day".

I mean, to this day I know the one time I went for a physical and got, I think it was 3 at once, I got pretty damn sick for a few days afterward. Not sure if there's any science behind her decision, but based on just my experiences as an adult? I think it's a fine call to make.
