[23:31] IsambardPrince MinceR, I was reading about the Trabant.
[23:31] IsambardPrince It sounds like a car the Communists would make.
[23:31] IsambardPrince Technically a car, but really more of a lawnmower with interior seating.
[23:32] IsambardPrince 21 seconds to get to 62 miles per hour, which is the top speed.
[23:32] IsambardPrince You weren't going anywhere fast.
[23:32] MinceR alleged car
[23:32] MinceR it's what the communists wanted their slaves to have access to
[23:32] IsambardPrince MinceR, They made basically the same car in 1990 as they did in 1958.
[23:32] IsambardPrince And the engine was outdated for 1958.
[23:33] IsambardPrince It says in West Germany, they were already moving to four stroke engines, but economic troubles and material shortages forced East Germans to use an outdated but cheaper engine.
[23:34] IsambardPrince By 1990, East Germany was bankrupt, but there was never any era of economic prosperity, even when the Soviets were sending them subsidies.
[23:34] IsambardPrince The reunification was basically a forced marriage.
[23:35] IsambardPrince East Germany didn't have much of a choice.
[23:35] MinceR this is coming to communist china eventually as winnie the pooh micromanages more and more of the economy
[23:35] MinceR he believes himself to be smarter than everybody else
[23:35] IsambardPrince West Germany could either bail them out or have a failed Communist state next door with a lot of military hardware.
[23:35] MinceR and as the west capitulates to communist china, it's coming everywhere
[23:36] IsambardPrince East Germany could have technically continued to exist, but it would have basically turned into something more like North Korea.
[23:36] IsambardPrince From "poor by German standards" to "starving".
[23:37] IsambardPrince MinceR, Communism is a Planned Economy.
[23:37] IsambardPrince They plan to have the economy fail and then be frozen in time.
[23:37] MinceR :>

[23:39] TR Bot Russia Treating North Korean Troops as Expendable
[23:39] IsambardPrince They treat Russians as expendable.
[23:39] IsambardPrince They treat the North Koreans even worse than that.

[23:40] IsambardPrince Ukraine has captured some North Korean POWs.
[23:40] IsambardPrince Those are the lucky ones.
[23:40] IsambardPrince They'll probably be offered a chance to go to South Korea.
[23:41] IsambardPrince Getting shot and captured by Ukraine is like winning the lottery vs. living under Communism.
[23:41] IsambardPrince I'm happy that the gay North Korean man who escaped could eventually become a US citizen and live in Washington State.
[23:42] IsambardPrince That he didn't have to continue living under a Communist country that wasn't even feeding him, but expected him to live in an arranged marriage and make children to be enslaved by the gangsters who run the country.
[23:43] IsambardPrince Being gay isn't even illegal in North Korea, because when it's a Communist country you can just be punished even if there's no law against what you've done.
[23:43] MinceR 29 004157 < IsambardPrince> I'm happy that the gay North Korean man who escaped could eventually become a US citizen and live in Washington State.
[23:43] IsambardPrince We're over here arguing if biological men can be in the little girl's bathroom.
[23:43] MinceR this story will become less happy once cheeto hitler sells the USA out to communist china
[23:43] IsambardPrince Try being a tranny in China or North Korea.
[23:43] IsambardPrince See if that's the extent of the problems.
[23:44] IsambardPrince MinceR, Most gay people don't like trannies.
[23:44] IsambardPrince We joke in private about them.
[23:45] IsambardPrince But all of the "organizations" now say "LGBT", but that's like saying Al Sharpton is the "leader of the blacks".
[23:45] IsambardPrince I mean, did all black people take a vote and say this guy could open his fucking mouth and speak for them?
[23:45] IsambardPrince That's sort of how I feel about the LGBT groups.
[23:46] IsambardPrince They don't speak for me and we never had an election where I was given a slate of proposed "leaders".
[23:46] IsambardPrince Or a referendum on whether I wanted the "gay rights movement" to let in trannies.
[23:46] IsambardPrince We never had a vote on this.
[23:46] IsambardPrince There's no consensus.
[23:47] MinceR the "rights for me, nothing for anyone else" movement is far more popular, that's for sure
[23:47] IsambardPrince I'll just say it. Had there been a vote, I would have said hell no, and these "LGBT" groups are all corporate backed astroturfers.

[23:50] IsambardPrince MinceR, I'm neutral on the whole Israeli-Palestinian thing.
[23:50] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights
[23:50] IsambardPrince I don't think that the US should take sides.
[23:50] IsambardPrince We shouldn't support aide for "Palestine" or arms sales and money for Israel.
[23:50] IsambardPrince It's an internal matter for the Israelis.
[23:51] IsambardPrince It's just not important enough to commit our resources towards in any way.
[23:51] MinceR i'm neutral on it as well, considering that given the chances, both sides would happily enslave/torture/kill me for not following their religion
[23:51] IsambardPrince All funding and programs for both sides should be cut out of the federal budget.
