I will try most things at least once and having a more open mind means trying some very odd combinations and flavours, on the topic sure Id try it. Having traveled to very different parts of the world and eventually marrying a Filipino here at some point has definitely opened my eyes. However the one dish I have turned down trying was Balut... Its a fertilized developing egg embryo...usually duck I think? I just cant do it man. 

Balut is tasty.

I’ve made it plenty of times, especially since I was named an honourary Mexicano this one time at party when I impressed everyone with my tequila antics. It’s not sweet dairy chocolate, it’s dark cooking chocolate. It’s bitter and cocoa flavour, not sweat Cadbury. I also get pechuga en mole often when I visit the taqueria. Pinche gringos.

There is this image created of the 'West' that everything good about it material progress, law and order etc is due to some gigantic team effort where everyone from US to Australia works in shifts. 

But when it comes to bad things the blame is individualized as one of 'mistakes'. Hitler, Leopold in Belgium etc they did not come out of isolation. These are systematic things which are again being seen in Gaza. 

I partly disagree on the first point. The west is so obsessed with exceptional individualism, I don’t think anything is ever given credit due to team effort. Lincoln freed the slaves, Edison invented the lightbulb, Elon Musk invented Tesla, Jobs invented Mac, etc 

@Rucksackfranzosethe youtuber Black Pigeon Speaks is known to make videos that cover topics like race realism, holocaust denial (he calls it holocaust questioning), transphobia,conspiracy theories, et al, which always gets deleted some way or another. I suggest you don't watch any of the videos for a number of reasons. Our friend is an ideological cuck that needs fringe lunatics to disseminate this vile filth for him because he can’t actually articulate any sort of consistent ideology.

It's all he does, really. I don't know if it's just to get attention, or if he's really that oblivious. Or he just lives in his own YouTube/Twitter(x)-bubble, where everyone has these kind of views, so he feels reassured. 

Well he can't seem to see a pink elephant with the words 'I'm a fascist' painted on it in bold black letters.

Fascism is banning political opponents because they are gaining populism.  Because they are nationalists is not sufficient proof of fascism.

Fascism has thrived in socialistic systems, Yuri Bezmenov on his 1984 interview on ideological subversion in the first 30-40 minutes talks about fascism in Soviet Russia and how socialism only works for the connected everyone else was a dissident, a slave. 

In modern politics fascism is a term loosely thrown around to villianise alternative ideology.  The only thing they are guilty of is espousing civic nationalism which every progressive confuses as fascism.  I think for someone that did a lot of twerking for Xi the other day, I don't think you can differentiate any more.  

 

So you've come back after licking your wounds, eh? Well Mr. Libertarian-Nonce, how about you do some explaining. Please enlighten me on a few little caveats you don't seem to address but dance around the boot you lick. So socialism only applies to those well connected, well I seem to be able to use the roads pretty easily, whose cronyism am I appealing to? i seem to be able to use my universal healthcare in Australia very easily, I don't know anyone in medicine. I can call the police, the fire brigade, and an ambulance just fine, I can apply for unemployment, the PBS, maternity and paternity leave, pension, superannuation, childcare support, wow the list goes on... yet I don't know anyone and these services are provided to me as social programs, weird right!? So who is this magical person I know that gets me these connections?

Okay that's question one finished, maybe you can now define fascism and how the policies of AfD differ from fascism, they seem to really love the hallmarks of fascism; anti-immigration, historical revisionism, prefacing an in-group and an out-group to blame the 'struggles of the nation on', nationalism, xenophobia, religious prejudice, racism, the 'decline of morals and ethics in society', homophobia, literally using key words that the Nazi party used, you have no idea what you are talking about yet again.

Lastly, can you quote me on where I was twerking for Xi? I seem to recall being very critical of Xi, China, and you're inability to use words correctly, and now I'm going to be critical of your reading comprehension because no matter how much you staring the face of facts laid bare before you, I can continue to read the diarrhoea sprayed from your fingertips onto my computer screen. 

BREAKING NEWS Israel is entering a peace agreement with Palestine, they will pay reparations for every Palestinian harmed, killed, and displaced, but Hamas have to renounce Islam and pledge that they will be secular state with official state atheism, in agreement to this Palestine will be retuned the west bank and be given the full support of the NATO nations to  be a sovereign state in alliance with the Israeli state.

Xi is a wonderful guy, it always take the most woke to try defend what they like.  Factionalism, Saudi Arabia is factional and Bin Salman is not king, there are multiple families fighting for power and bin Salman was able to be the last dictator standing.  Bin Salman answers to the King so basically the same, but you like one not the other.

Wokies seem to be right in there with Islamists and commies useful idiots that can be disposed of when they have realised their usefulness 

Wokeism is a black American cultural movement and ideal that requires its people to be aware of the implicit biases of the American system against them, it has nothing to do with China. So you just skimmed over the parts where I criticised China, I also don’t recall praising China. In fact I’ve had at lengthly and quite productive discussions with Gonzo about human rights abuses in China, but you wouldn’t know that, would you. I know you didn’t read the article too, I could have posted a joke link and you wouldn’t notice.
 

And yes Salman is the king. Read that I didn’t say ‘bin Salman’, I said ‘Salman’ who is the father and of bin Salman (the prime minister) and absolute monarch of Saudi Arabia, which is not basically the same as the CCP, which is ironic that you’d accuse me of liking one and not the other when it’s very obvious I’m critical of both, but you are in fact the person that’s critical of one while sucking the dick of the other. 

Words the orangekrush doesn’t understand but uses

libertarian 
communism
socialism
fascism
dictator
authoritarian 
woke
anarcho
democracy
monarchy

@Dr. Gonzo @Rucksackfranzose feel free to add more to the list, we can keep a running tally

Communism eh, communism and dictatorships walk lockstep with each other.   

Xi Jinping does not have complete control over China, they may be very authoritarian and do some incredibly terrible atrocities (but so does the west with their supposed ‘liberal democracy’) but they aren’t a dictatorship, he is beholden to party politics and try as western media might to portray it that way, Chinese politics does have factionalism and is far from one uncontested behemoth, and yes there are elements of democracy in the decision making of the one party state, it is a theory called ‘whole process democracy’. Once again you have idea what words mean, a dictator would be closer to Salman, the King of Saudi Arabia, the nation you sycophant because they own your football team.

You know communist dictators is a contradictio in adiecto? Since communism is a state of egalitarian rule without hierarchy, which means there can be either socialist dictators or dictators of communist ideology, but definetively no communist dictators. That's anopther reason, why bweing fascist and communist exclude each other. Which also makes your term anarcho-communist redundant since communism is a state of anarchy. But hey told you to read some political theory. Also Calling Russia communist, shows you don'T only don't know what communism is , you also don't have the slightest idea of socialism, otherwise you'd know Russia is indeed capitalist and has less socialist elements to its economy and society than any Western European country.  

As for the part about Germany: Again you talk about things you don't really comprehend. The onlyinstance that is allowed to ban any party in Germany is the Bundesverfassungsgericht (translates to Federal Constitution Court) so the opposition isn't even capable juridically to ban the AFD, even if they wanted, which most of them don't. Second there's only 1 reason, why the BVG is juridically allowed to ban a party, and that is if the party is proven to be willing to forceably owerthrow the liberal democratic basic order of Germany.  Nothing to do with populism. And no that's no opinion of me it's possible to fact check that by reading by reading Article 12 Paragraph 2 2nd sentence of Grundgestz (which is the German constitution). Don't know which sources you use for your information about Germany, still would recommand to change them, since any single statement you made about that country has been proven factually wrong, so far.

You also forgot to point out how he said it’s be fascist for Germany to ban the fascist party. Hhhmmmmmm…
 

… but maybe that part was so stupid, your mind blanked ….

For me, it’s fascisto-libertarian-anarcho-marxist-Reagonomics.

Another reason why I don't really think this mod will fit in with the canon of the series at all. I'm not even sure how much it'll fit in with the canon of the game as it stands anyways as Europe was meant to be devastated by warfare ahead of the Great War - so seeing so much of London still in tact in the trailer has me thinking "don't think they've really read the source material that closely."

Why not Australia? At least it works with the Mad Max aesthetic

So a game whose aesthetic and ethos is entirely inspired by 1950s Americana and Cold War redscare is modded to London?

Genuine question: Is that really true? Asking because I got mates, who lived in the bible belt, in rural Texas respectively  for a few years.Remembering their stories got some reservations?

The from what I understand the numbers usually suggest that Democrats typically receive a larger number of votes but Republicans win more constituencies, so for Democrats to win it has to be an overwhelming majority to make up for their weakness in lower population density constituencies. 

Seven of the past eight popular votes were won by the Democrats, but Republicans won three of those elections.

Has Taylor Swift ever made any political endorsements before? It seems sort of like the kind of thing I wouldn't expect a well liked pop star to do because doing anything divisive would probably hurt her image.
