[01:03] nobody i am almost certain communist party wasn't concerned with males and lipsticks [01:03] MinceR same [01:03] MinceR nor with liberalism [01:04] IsambardPrince The Communists would have said lipstick and makeup were decadent.

[01:18] nobody thanks for enriching the conversation IsambardPrince [01:19] nobody why you're so obsessed with trannies and lipsticks?

They lose a lot of years to mental illness. [01:29] IsambardPrince Much more than bipolar disorder costs a person. [01:29] IsambardPrince Much more than smoking cigarettes, even. [01:31] IsambardPrince Uncle Jessica is still alive. [01:31] IsambardPrince Barely. [01:32] IsambardPrince Strapped to an oxygen tank from welding and car paint fumes, somewhere between "man" and "woman". [01:32] nobody call me paranoid, public tv and their spies had prayed upon me again recently [01:32] IsambardPrince No Social Security checks because he didn't file taxes.

[01:39] IsambardPrince It seems to be a staple of most of the Western world that there's very little the government can't do, and then they get horrible people in there taking constant advantage of this. [01:39] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [01:39] IsambardPrince But it's more subtle than living in fucking Russia or China. [01:39] IsambardPrince So they say they're "free". [01:39] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [01:39] IsambardPrince The goal of most of the regimes in Europe is to get people to self-censor.

[01:40] nobody well, i've fired my political bullets several month ago already, seeing to the outcome of the election [01:40] nobody maybe that's why i received a letter proposing psychological evaluation [01:40] IsambardPrince Honestly, as fucked as the German political process is, afd is probably the very best you can hope for. [01:41] MinceR lol [01:41] nobody the AfD lesbian wants to construct "modern nuclear plants" [01:41] MinceR if you love ruscism so much, why haven't you moved to orbanistan in 2010?

[01:42] nobody MinceR: the less money you got, the least EU could suck out carbon tax of your pocket [01:42] IsambardPrince The current German government is so stupid that they shut down all the nuclear plants and relied entirely on Russian gas. [01:42] IsambardPrince And MinceR says there's something more pro-Russia than that. [01:43] nobody that was Madame CHancellor Merkel, not the current government [01:43] IsambardPrince I thought you decommissioned the last nuclear plants like a year or two ago? [01:43] MinceR merkel did what she could to help orban establish a dictatorship here, with as little friction from the EU (which still advertises itself as valuing democracy) [01:43] nobody they've got all in common the incompetence which i fear they rather not touch Microsoft(R) breakthrough energy reactor designs [01:43] MinceR as possible [01:44] IsambardPrince Someone should drop Merkel into the ocean.

[01:52] nobody well, i'm no "journalist" a.k.a governmen-sponsored spie [01:53] nobody MinceR: i've not changed my mind, AfD changed theirs [01:53] darwin Muslim nationalists (Syrians, Turks, but probably from all countries with many) have been threatening to invade Greece and destroy Athens, and takeover other/all parts of the West, such as on Twitter/X. I reported one such incident saying they'd do these things, and it was ignored (maybe automated, or moderated by the Arabians owning part of Twitter/X)... I will send this to schestowitz again soon [01:53] darwin i.e., Twitter/X says it doesn't break rules, despite threat to invade and 'destroy Athens completely' [01:54] MinceR yeah, foreigner bad [01:54] MinceR except for the fellow nazi/commie ones [01:54] MinceR there's time to exterminate those once everyone else is dead [01:54] nobody AfD had not been opposed to immigration, initially the followed the same argument as all other "democratic" parties did [01:55] MinceR blah blah blah [01:55] nobody arguing for "cheap workforce", just like "russian gas" was cheap [01:55] nobody well, for electricity they stamped 60cents/kWh, for the little gas/war-water it was 150cents/kWh last year [01:56] darwin i also reported some Twitter/X accounts for extreme insults including libel of possible crimes they didn't commit, which was also against rules--maybe no longer due to free speech--also all ignored [01:56] nobody government doesn't publish credible statistics, what the price tag for immigration was [01:57] MinceR blah blah blah [01:57] nobody the guy who crashed a vehicle into a christmas market crowd announced his activity in advance in Twitter/X, he even posted directly to ministry of the interior [01:57] nobody *on [01:58] nobody fun one about this, german politics argued they needed more mass surveillance in return [01:59] psydruid to surveil the "islamophobe" ● Jan 14 [02:00] nobody 70000 followers on twitter, had given several prominent interviews to german newspapers [02:02] nobody the reason it's unusually quiet still, Saudi Arabia was designated World Soccer Champtionchip host by FIFA [02:02] nobody and well, Saudi Arabia wants back his citizen [02:02] nobody after this guy killed 5 people [02:03] IsambardPrince <@MinceR> yeah, foreigner bad [02:03] IsambardPrince I don't know. I thought some of their stuff was good. [02:03] IsambardPrince Cold as ice.... :P [02:04] nobody for all we know, it's not "renewable energy" which refuels german cars here [02:04] psydruid he can go back to Saudi Arabia after rotting in jail for 30 years [02:05] nobody he had articulated demands, for more immigration to germany [02:05] nobody it's not the first time political argument was articulated with a car or knive [02:06] nobody since recently, my immmigrant neighbors seem less friendly than usual, who knows which letters had arrived [02:06] nobody all i had seen was the energy bills of this appartment block exploding since when they arrived [02:08] nobody it is 10 appartments, one is occupied by myself, my consumption was less than 0.3% of the total, for heating/warm-water [02:09] nobody now imagine how this extrapolates to urban centers which are occupied by >90% of this type of demographics [02:10] darwin overall third-world/Muslim immigrants have been a net cost, not benefit to the West, except maybe a few countries (and more others than Muslims) or maybe more second-world ones. Politicians focused on economic growth say they want doctors & engineers (such as from average 45 IQ countries) then we get people coming in and going to the bathroom in people's yards, committing all types of crass/violent crimes [02:10] darwin then because of the crimes, mass surveillance and restrictions/jail-time from speech online increased [02:11] nobody the saudi was a trained medic/psychiatrist, known as "doctor google" for consulting online search while diagnosing patients [02:11] darwin Muslim gang-rapists of children got community service, while people saying mean things online get two years jail time, then sometimes got killed by Muslims or suicided in jail [02:11] psydruid here recently more and more buildings have been blown up [02:12] nobody today politics argued, "hey, they were paying taxes here, and mustn't return home hence" [02:13] darwin here illegals don't pay some taxes, though a minimal amount pays some and improves the economy, doing farmwork Americans don't do... but we have tens millions more than just for that, including mass (violent criminal) gangs doing takeovers of areas [02:14] darwin but USA already has a program for seasonal farmworkers to come legally [02:14] nobody there's no legal basis whatsoever for the type of immigration arranged for by politics; some agreement existed between Turkey and Germany which was terminated in 1970s already [02:15] darwin there's not a reason to have a single illegal one, which majority Americans including in both major parties generally agree on [02:15] nobody and that was a few hundred thousand workers welcomed, not dozens of millions we got nowadays [02:15] nobody there's a reason a legal basis was necessary, beginning with EU contracts, all of which was violated severly [02:16] nobody Orban didn't, just saying, that's why, ironically, he was attacked by EU apparatus [02:17] darwin some claimed there was a reason, and others said there wasn't. I guess the reason was smaller population after WW2, but it's like Germany & Italy forgot before and during WW2, they took major economic incentive measures to increase native population growth, which worked very well and almost made them win. They should've kept those measures [02:17] darwin Axis was the strongest economies in the world before and during WW2 [02:18] nobody that's all past, the related agreements had been termianted in 1970s already, due to the oil crisis at that time ("Anwerbeabkommen") [02:18] nobody all immigration ever since was in most severe violation of national and international law [02:19] nobody even inner-europen migration is often, because various countries violated EU contracts (finance, stability, EU border protection) [02:20] darwin the UN encouraged it and have a public document on one their website advocating 'population replacement', also known as the 'great replacement' which shows (unlike cabal-led biased/extreme Wikipedia) is a conspiracy and not conspiracy theory [02:21] darwin that doesn't mean it's international law--there isn't really such thing, as UN isn't a government (just informal and anarchy and ideas enforced by 'great powers')--but others might claim it's encouraged/specified by 'international law' [02:21] nobody it's become dangerous for politicians, those who went into opposition are dead: Fortuyn, Haider, and i might have forgotten one or another [02:22] nobody Austria intends to instate a "far-right" chancellor (they aren't, they're liberals mostly), won't make a difference, because it's too late [02:23] nobody and all of them have to appease allies such as Quatar and the Saudis, who try to dictate into our politics with their soccer oil shitcoins [02:25] nobody when Trump became POTUS in 2016 iirc, his first travel was Saudi Arabia, dancing and swinging a sword with them [02:26] nobody it's a similar global dance with China, our elections are mostly irelevant [02:26] nobody i was listening carefully, what they're saying... "german industry in decline due to absense of 'cheap russian gas'"... [02:26] nobody nonsense, industry had outsourced to china with shitloads of cheap russian gas available for decades before [02:27] nobody the majority of Volkswage are produced and sold in china, and fueled with Saudi or whichever oil/gas there [02:27] nobody n [02:29] nobody it's entertaining how, "german" politicians argue nowadays for their election campaign, it was supposedly a low-income person such as myself at fault [02:29] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [02:29] nobody working +70hours/week for less than minimum wage [02:29] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [02:29] nobody although, that's all "unproductive incompetitive" and "distanced to Micros~1 (R) labor market" [02:30] nobody finally i had received a letter proposing psychological evaluation because i dared to question some energy bills at financial department of theirs [02:30] nobody nope, that wasn't Russia nor Hungary nor China, that's "Germany", 2025 [02:33] MinceR well, i propose a psychological evaluation for you for what you've written here so far [02:34] nobody gladly, it's all written and documented in public [02:36] IsambardPrince https://www.wbez.org/education/2025/01/10/a-looming-demographic-cliff-fewer-college-students-and-ultimately-fewer-graduates [02:36] TR Bot A looming demographic cliff: Fewer college students and ultimately fewer graduates - WBEZ Chicago [02:36] IsambardPrince Oh no, not the colleges where they load them up with debt! [02:36] IsambardPrince MAH ECONOMY!!!! [02:37] IsambardPrince People worried there are less children: Colleges, pedophiles, oligarchs. [02:37] IsambardPrince Hmmm, better have more kids I guess! [02:38] nobody that's another propaganda lie "democrats" were telling for decades... "need moar children, need moar migrants, pension fund empty" [02:39] nobody well, it's a plausible argument at least, which had to be verified with evidence then, three decades later [02:39] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [02:39] nobody population size _increased_, dozens of millions of immigrants mainly, that's a fact [02:39] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [02:39] nobody and too it's a fact pension fund is drained [02:40] nobody our medicare announces bancrupcy all over the place, meanwhile immigrant workforce was supposed to keep costs low, not at record height as it is [02:40] nobody that's a fact, not some wishthink or something [02:41] IsambardPrince You refill the pensions by having unemployable angry young men apparently. [02:42] IsambardPrince The flaw in their logic was they sent all the work to Chinese factories with suicide nets so the whole "the kids will get jobs later and pay taxes" part never happened. [02:42] IsambardPrince So Social Security dies. [02:42] nobody don't forget, they'll grow old too [02:44] nobody and they're not cheap either, it's notable amount of saudi finance dumped into the multi-cultural paradise we got here [02:44] nobody just as said, it's real dangerous to raise critical voice, and i rather stay alive a little while longer than wasting my time and breath for a lost cause [02:45] nobody i just don't give a shit about smirking "independent" "journalists" in soccer stadiums [02:46] TR News Yesterday's #boycottnovell-social and #techpol IRC logs ready.
