  • What am I supposed to do, burn them? As far I’ve checked no charity around me takes real-estate instead of money. If I refuse to inherit, it’ll go to someone else in my family who’ll just continue to rent. Tried looking up if I can give it to the state to provide as cheap housing, the only thing I found was unused government buildings for sale. So you tell me smartypants, I’d be delighted to be enlightened. But as long as you’ll just continue to throw insults my way, you’ll get the same back.


  • If that’s the intended lesson it fell flat. You’re not ready for me right now? Well fuck you, I, the all mighty and mercifully curse you to never have a future again.

    And granted, with the last part I’m working with the assumption that Jesus self-inserts him self in the story. After a bit of looking around online only half the people I saw thought it was a self referential story, so I guess the church you attended interpreted it differently. Honestly that’s the main problem, that this shit is so cryptic nobody can agree what it actually means.



  • I find it funny how depending on the parts you pick, you can assemble almost any ideology. Jesus is amazingly 2 faced. One seconds he’s teaching you the importance of treating people with kindness, even your enemies, that any person can forgive another’s sins and then another second he’s cursing a tree for not bearing fruit out of season or telling his followers kill the people that don’t want Jesus to be their king.


  • Ey, cheers mate, refreshing to get a composed response!

    I’d argue there are more sides than just NATO vs China and friends. India often fucks over both sides because both refuse to acknowledge it and its concerns for example. It saddens me that such counties don’t give a shit, but I can’t really fault them too much considering we do the same to them. And such rhetoric only serves as fuel for them to mock us.

    You’re definitely right that we also need military might to protect our values, as a European I’m disgusted by our inactivity and reliance on the US. On the subject of cute counties, I’d argue Finland isn’t one of em, I’d also add Sweeden just for military reasons while I’m at it. Both have strong militaries with plenty of reserves/mobilization potential, Finland even has nuclear ready bunkers under every major city. So glad we got em in NATO now, hope the rest of Europe catches up soon.

    And not gonna lie, as much as I shit on America, it’s largely because I’m also sacred. The US is on a slippery slope due to decades of ignorance and if the US goes to shit it’s gonna have far and wide consequences around the globe. I hope the Trump situation will act as a wake up call for us in Europe, and we’ll get our shit together, not only to be self sufficient, but hopefully emerge as a genuine ally for peace and freedom that reaches beyond diplomacy. If America falls and Europe doesn’t get its shit together, that’s good bye for Ukraine and then what? That would set a new standard, a world in which might makes right… No even an attempt at rule of law.


  • It seems doable, until all the shit you described happens. After which the 15~20% cut (the kinda rates these companies want over here) doesn’t seem so bad anymore. Especially compared to the loss. A friend of my aunt had a tenant with some mental disorder that wasn’t able to find a job again after covid, yes that means 4 years of not paying, the landlady didn’t have the balls to kick the tenant out, and now the court proceedings might take another year. So yea, there is a risk, but only if you ignorantly chose to do it your self without knowing what you’re going into.





  • Ok, I refuse to read the whole thing because you’re wrong right at the bloody start. You can in fact sell a house along with the mortgage. It’s not a fucking risk. Finding another buyer isn’t that big a problem as the demand is fucking huge, unless you’re selling a literal dump, in which case you’re a monster for wanting to rent it out.

    As for taking care of the place, there are countless companies that’ll rent it out for you, if you really don’t wanna deal with your tenant’s bullshit. Like what the actual fuck are you even taking about? If as a land lord you chose to go the extra mile to squeeze out every penny, you don’t get to complain about it being hard when there’s an easy way out.




  • Lol, as if there aren’t countless companies that’ll happily do it for you for a relatively low cut. Some even offer vacancy protection, as in you get money even if no-one is there (for a bigger cut ofc, the ones here want like 20% or something). And if even that is somehow too hard for the landlords busy schedule, ya can just sell the property for a small fortune and put the money into a savings account and never work again. A landlord doesn’t need to do shit while gaining passive income, meanwhile tenants actively lose net-worth for the privilege of shelter, which is recognized as a human right by the way.




  • Is this really what makes a fascist? Almost every party in democratic world uses similar rhetorics.

    Nope, predominantly an American quote in the 21st century. And while it doesn’t necessarily make you a fascists, it does check the extreme tribalism flag. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_are_either_with_us,_or_against_us

    This is pretty much 99% of human history.

    Correct, and modern democracies tried their best to change course. Some more successfully than others. If you want successful examples look at Finland, those guys played a significant role in many peace treaties, including the famous European peace. And here’s the kicker, FOR NOTHING IN RETURN. Or rather no immediate monetary or political gain.

    and what to tell about single party systems, like China? Do you call them fascist too?

    YES, quite literally and unironically YES! Like come on? “Communism with Chinese Characteristics”? We’re just a couple word plays away from “National Socialism”. The Chinese government is actively conducting ethnic cleansing and jailing anybody who isn’t Chinese enough. Come on!

    I do not feel forced to watch “Top gun” or eat McDonalds

    At this point I’m starting to feel you’re a troll, but hey, it’s fun, so let’s keep going xD I was more referring to America’s foreign policy here.

    thanks god they did not kill Bernie Sanders

    Again, mainly meant foreign policy. However Burnie doesn’t get off free either. The democrats didn’t even give him a chance to be a presidential candidate despite being the crowd favorite. The guy’s getting silenced.

    like any other fucking country, just look at Chinese schools

    Not every country, again, look at Finland, Estonia or the Netherlands. Great examples of an education system that respect the people’s freedoms. And while most other European countries have something fucked up, non are anywhere near “KNEEL FOR THE FLAG!” level.

    still, rather weird tradition or aesthetics, not a fascism, for fuck’s sake

    Weird esthetics? Maybe because the esthetic invokes the other counties that did this which most were under either fascism or communism. Like sure, it doesn’t necessarily make you fascists, but role-playing as one every morning is still fucking suspicious.

    they behave like assholes at worst, still millions of foreign people dream about living in USA

    Look in a mirror. The US treats everyone else like a terrorist before they even step foot into the country. And yes, half the people that didn’t go to America yet still think it’s amazing. America is really good at advertising. If America doesn’t want foreigners to dream about it, maybe it could stop advertising it self as the only valid way of life.

    This sucks indeed, but this is not inherent to USA, rather to police in general.

    Kinda, there are some bad apples in other counties too, like France for example. But the US still stands proud and tall for having one of the worst. Literally no other county arrest more people per capita than American. Not even your favorite China. Also having snipers at every protest? Fucking really? Direct military hand downs?

    You say my “accusations”, but most of what I said are statements you didn’t even negate, just said that some of em don’t necessarily make the US fascist and the rest you renamed to “imperialism”, which IS NOT BETTER! The only difference is that imperialism doesn’t need to include nationalism, it’s an umbrella term, under which fascism falls under!

    But boy, it’s funny you’d mention the Russian shithole, considering the US seems rather proactively aiming towards it. The republicans especially seem to have em as their role model. If things keep changing the way they have been for the last 20 years, I give it tops another 30 years before the only thing that makes America better than Russia will be the running water. Maybe faster if the supreme courts keeps up the pace it demonstrated the last 2 weeks.




  • Before I get to your question…that’s a really weird definition. I mean it excludes most stereotypical fascist regimes, like nazi Germany for example. A communist revolution wasn’t really on their list of fears or even concerns. In Weimar Germany they even shared voters. Most communist party voters became nazi voters once they became a thing, they run on the same platform. It’s in the bloody name, Nazi = National Socialism. This definition seems to deliberately only target America, the US is the only one that goes fucking ape-shit when socialism let alone communist is at all mentioned.

    Anyways, to your question. We weren’t really talking about presidents specifically, tho most of them fit the bill. Both democrats and republicans say the fucking “you’re with me or against me” shit, like really??? The US generally has a rich history of violently shutting down competing powers, be it domestic or abroad (a 2 party system IS NOT natural for a democracy!). American imperialist wars are pretty much build on forcefully spreading American culture at any cost (especially if it involves killing anybody claiming to be socialist or not christian). From a young age US citizens are indoctrinated, the shit where they swear loyalty to the flag every morning is creepy as fuck, also the flash everywhere. Like christ, just look at how Americans treat foreigners. Didn’t even mention the police yet…
