I was talking to @PegMeMommy about Valentine's Day. I was telling him about how me and my siblings got our mom flowers and stuff for Valentine's Day. During the conversation he said he had never heard of kids getting their mom something for Valentine's Day, and he doesn't know anyone who does this. For me, this is the opposite: Where I'm from, everyone gets their mother something. Now both of us are wondering which is normal.

Decided to make a poll!

Do you buy your mother something Valentine's Day?

Self-defense isn't inherently libertarian, conservative, or any other label

Believing in self-defense doesn't make me a libertarian any more than believing in free speech makes me a constitutional scholar

I'm not a libertarian nor a man, but sure, go off. If hearing a perspective you don't like makes you assume I fit into some stereotype, that's on you, not me.

Ah yes, because sharing information and options is now 'gaslamping.'

I never said a gun is the only option just that it's one worth considering alongside other self-defense cowtools. If it's not for you, that's totally fine. But providing information for those who are interested isn't the same as telling everyone they must buy one. Either way, take care.

Owning a gun doesn't make me Rambo… it just means I'd rather have a fighting chance if things go south.

By that logic, should we also stop buying phones because Big Tech censors people?

I shared my perspective (one that seems to resonate with a lot of women) on self-defense because I believe people should have options, not because I'm pushing an agenda or fearmongering

Fear isn't what drives people to own guns reality is. The idea that self-defense is just a marketing scheme ignores the fact that millions of people, including marginalized groups, choose to arm themselves because they don't want to rely on the government, law enforcement, or anyone else for protection. Owning a gun doesn't mean supporting gun manufacturers any more than owning a phone means supporting Big Tech censorship. It's about having the cowtools to protect yourself in a world that isn't always safe.

Rule 1: Treat all guns as if they are loaded

You forgot Rule 5, "I don't care what you think, your gun is loaded unless you confirm it isn't," and Rule 6, "I know you just confirmed your gun isn't loaded, but you blinked and Reginald the Ammo Goblin may have done something when you weren't looking, so keep treating your gun as if it's loaded."

"Is insert thing about America really that bad?"

Yes, you dumb fricks. It's almost like some of us spent years telling you how dangerous this shit was, where it could lead, and you all fricking ignored it. Or told us we were overreacting. I hate to say I told you so, but we fricking told you so. I mean it's all been so god darn blatant for years and now you're surprised? Have you had your head up your butt for the past 10 years?? Are you incapable of performing a simple Google search? Go frick yourselves. You are part of what enabled all of this.

So congrats on joining the rest of us in reality, it sucks huh? Now stop asking inane questions and do something useful.

Reading books would be good. They Thought They Were Free by Milton Meyer and It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis in particular. Idfk. Do the work and learn so you can help fight this. We don't need hand wringing piss babies

Read a book, you hand wringing piss babies.

Another interesting thing, Ukraine replaced some general.

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/14/europe/lutsenko-ukraine-replaces-commander-russia-intl-latam/index.html

The new general:

I tried to find Reddit cope but seems Reddit ignored it for more important topics like

https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1he7uz8/medical_marijuana_is_set_to_become_available_in/

Veterans will certainly be once they return home and can deal with PTSD with a joint instead of copious amounts of alcohol.

Although legalizing psychodelics would probably be better.

Why are Redditors such junkies ?

Lord knows they need it

Drugs are literally haram in all Arabic religions.

If you consume drugs at least know it roots your brain, don't cope with lord or you are not better than those who call them self Islam brothers and consume alcohol and drugs thinking not eating pig is enough and asking for forgiveness later. Deliberately committing a crime with idea to later ask for forgiveness is evil, only a jin would act like this.

Also most people that bought illegal weed did so because illegal weed ain't clean, it's mixed with strong shit

So

Why the replacement of the general is important, because it shows that Ukraine expects from new general to hold Pokrovsk at all costs like they held Bakhmut. It would be naive to expect in now because he lost Avdiivka and that's the reason Russian are now inside Pokrovsk. Pokrovsk ain't Bakhmut with multiple rivers and hills or avdiivka that was extremely fortified. On top of it Russian now have shit tons of fabs and Ukraine doesn't have that much bodies to throw holding Pokrovsk.

Also Russian already captured more territory than in November

First November

Today and as you know live map now copes hard so that thing below Kurakhove don't exist + Ukrainian left Kurakhove yesterday.

So when I told Russian gaining exponential more ground every month since June I wasn't lying. Just telling brutal truth

So no wonder that r-slurs like @Christmas_Commander are mad at me but you see he politely asked me to tell him when Russian reach pokrovsk. They guy called me hoi4 player I toke it as compliment because he is low IQ so all his insults against me is prove of him being delusional about his IQ. He thinks Ukraine is equality distributed with Ukrainian soldiers and that Russian would move same speed always. Now that corned parrot will scream "rent free" because that's peak of his IQ and he is proto pro khohol.

But I am like giga surprised that Redditors didn't reposted khohols official proofs of NK soldiers:

Thing is Kursk wasn't that snowy the past days and those videos ain't geolocated and it's just soldiers.

So giga impressed Redditors realised this is no proof.

Look more Korean

They don't even ask how is that possible. To collect those bodies Ukraine needs to move forwards. They won't have time to put those in formation anywhere close to the front so it's just photoshot or photoshop somewhere far away from the front and no proofs it's NK

The new prokhohol cope is this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1het6jr/ukraines_volodymyr_zelensky_delays_critical/

Zelenskyy wants to give its resources away.

The thing is 80% of Ukrainian recourses are Donbas and Dnipro. And Trump ain't r-slur to buy Donetsk city resources that Zelenskyy wants to sell to him

This is the only correct approach. I don't care that he doesn't deserve it or that it isn't fair, I care about the results. Americans can go protest him or w/e, abroad the only thing to do is try to win his favor

Trump doesn't deserve things that are not under Zelenskyy controls ? Like when foods saying you don't deserve me at my best when you don't want me at my worst ?

Estonia (I am leaving it here for you to have better picture)

Americans must be thinking now, "OMG, he is a real boss, he owns all of Europe, everyone is afraid of him, everyone has to respect him."

Meanwhile...

United States

Americans by and large do not care what happens in Europe.

Estonia

If we are swallowed by Russia and China, which I don't think will ever happen, but if that does happen, the US will lose its economic and military power at the speed of light.

The last time they pursued the "America First" policy, we know what happened.

EU

And the American government by and large doesn't care what Americans think, which is why Americans don't matter in foreign policy.

Why are Redditors so low IQ like imagine a guy wakes up at 6 every morning to reach his job at 8/9 then works till 16/17 then comes home at 19:00 buys a kebab because he lives alone and is tired, falls a sleep at 24:00 in front of his TV holding ps5 controller and so 5/7 a week if you come to him and tell Ukraine needs the money and his kebab will soon cost more for sake of Ukraine. He is going to say Frick Ukraine and there are millions people like this guy in Europe. The help for Ukraine reached such lvl that averagecels starts asking tha frick we help them that much ? People virtue ain't unlimited.

Zelensky needs to swallow his pride and be pragmatic, if cosying up to Trump and stroking his ego is what helps the war effort, then it needs to be done.

Redditors are so bad at business no wonder they so poor. They don't follow the story up to date. Republicans are only interested in shit in far west of Ukraine. They also not interested in shit from ultra unpopular guy whose legitimacy is also questionable and that's why they suggesting election. So why would Trump need Zelenskyy deal if he can find him self an Zelenskyy successor and help him get rid of Zelenskyy and get even a better deal ?

Violent protesters who ended up fleeing to the UK. Also it's CPC the Communist Party of China, if we're going to talk about social studies and modern politics let's use proper terms.

Folx, let's remember to call the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by its proper name. Saying "North Korea" is a propaganda tactic to imply there are two Koreas, rather than one proud nation sadly suffering under partial occupation by imperialist forces.

It's only the more recognized one in the US where it's actively misused on purpose to link the CPC to the now defunct CCCP. The intent behind it is to continue red scare propaganda tactics.

It's not being pedantic it's about understanding why certain groups, like the US government, speak and act in certain ways. Critical thinking and understanding intent of the author are important lessons I teach during the first month of every school year and I repeat with every single one of my ELA and social studies classes. Those skills are far more important than them memorizing the dates of when each state ratified the Constitution.

Those protestors, from the videos I've seen, were actively attacking other civilians who were counter protesting them. They were attacking them with homemade bombs and bows and arrows, and other potentially lethal devices. And if you've ever been to China, you know that the Chinese police are waaaay more non-violent than any American or EU police forces. We also know that they only moved in when the protesters started harming other civilians.

Btw, the counter protests were far larger than the protests, but the US news never seemed to cover that salient fact here in the US. So I don't blame you if you didn't know that. I'm lucky in that I know folks who live(d) in HK and were there for all of that craziness. I also know that for some reason despite protesting a bill in the HK government (the inciting incident was that anti integration HK folks were upset that a male feminist wasn't allowed to escape prosecution for a r*pe he committed on the mainland by returning to HK) where everyone both on the mainland and in HK speak and read both of the two most common Chinese languages a nice amount of the protestors' signs were in English. Now why would that happen? Why would folks in HK on one side of a protest use English signs? Does English have some sort of history with HK in particular? The Century of Humiliation? The Opium Wars? The 99 Year "Lease." No dogs or Chinese Allowed Streets in HK? British and American Colonizers (particularly the Delano Drug Cartel, grandparents of Little Ole FDR)?

A good example to compare to might be the Charlottesville protests. There American liberals blamed the police for not acting soon enough or from keeping the two groups separate. Especially when the (Nazi and racist fascists) protestors became violent and started attacking the (liberals and leftists) counter protesters.

The protestors during the HK riots were not peaceful and attacked other civilians (businesses too, but things can be replaced) and that's when the police moved in to stop them from seriously injuring or killing other people. You're good with preventing murder and assault right? Even when that person disagrees with you politically right?

(white extinction is long overdue and will come at the hands of our history teachers)

I was banned once from this sub for saying that most men are libertarians. But that's just the way it is

So basically, you're all fricked

Yep lol

They post shit like this while their side unironically believes the below

And don't forget to look up delicious, healthy recipes in the @N@rchist cookbook!

Yall are screwed ngl

You won't do shit

Sounds like projection on your part.

I'm never going to be strong enough to repel a Nazi, but generalizing here, keep up your health. It is beneficial in so many ways I won't bother to list them. Everyone on reddit hates me because I always bring up cooking your own food, not smoking, not drinking, getting exercise every day, giving up fast food and ultraprocessed stuff. It's all key to keeping your body and teeth healthy over the years.

The effects are cumulative - one day you wake up and you have some godawful chronic disease, or your ticker isn't what it could be, or you need yet another root canal, and you are slowed down and inconvenienced by having to use the medical system all the time, take pills, etc.

Also, get an annual check up if only so you have a record of your own stats. It's actually interesting to compare your numbers year to year.

As a nazi myself, this is all really good advice. Regardless of what ideology you have, everyone should abandon unhealthy lifestyles and unhealthy food. Most fast food/door dash and other stuff you get in groceries are deliberately kept unhealthy in order to have a population that can't resist and constantly kept broke and in debt. (not to mention how immoral some of the sources of this food are.) You don't need to be shredded but eating well and working out daily with basic calisthenics goes a long way.

As someone who's immunocompromised from a COVID vaccine injury, I've learned that sometimes the best choice isn't to fight head-on, but to hide and protect myself. It's a hard reality, but sometimes survival means stepping back, staying safe, and waiting for a time when I'm stronger.

In Harry Potter, Harry and his friends often had to choose between direct confrontation and retreat. Hiding, like when Harry and his allies went into hiding in The Deathly Hallows, was often the wisest choice. It wasn't about surrender, but about preserving their strength for when it was truly needed.

Similarly, Anne Frank showed us the power of survival. She and her family lived in hiding, and though it was painful and isolating, it was their only chance to stay alive. Sometimes, hiding isn't a sign of weakness; it's a strategy to make sure we can continue the fight later.

For me, hiding isn't giving up. It's about protecting my health and holding onto hope for a better, safer future.

(OP) this is real and valid, but PLEASE try to avoid citing transphobic authors. Stay safe!

This thread is the most chronically online shit I've ever seen in my life 😭

Lol

YES! me and my wife's boyfriend hit the gym everyday so we can own the chuds!

/r/Swoletariat

It fricking exists btw

I am trans so I don't want to lift too much, maybe some toning

That's a little ableist but I'll support the idea of being healthy! I'm on track at the moment having gone from 260 -> 250 lbs, nearly there =)

thats literally just water weight lmao you can drop that much in less than a week on any strict diet. So you haven't really accomplished anything. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard there bud

No negativity in my revolution

Now we're getting somewhere!

Go with testosterone, as well. Makes you more conservative.

Or just stop taking estrogen lmfao

We've officially found the saddest subreddit out there 🤣🤣

At this point it's >50% trolling by volume lmao
