the Dutch global Classical Music superstar, hated his primary fandom demographic (Boers) in - 31
- 95
There was this !dutch violinist/ orchestra director who became famous worldwide, by having these "informal" classical music concerts/shows, where peeps in the audience would dance in the aisles, or even the musicians or AndrΓ© himself would walk down the aisles themselves, while celebrating famous classical music.
This was considered radical for Boomers, who found the dour and sour and uptight classical music conformity of Europe to be to too stifling. People like my parents were pretty excited to watch his shows and performances on DSTV, which had become more common in Safrica, and appreciated his musical acumen, whilst having much more lighthearted tones in his shows.
Here's a bull attacking a woman!! 
He also looks like an eccentric mad-scientist nutjob with his hair! 
In 2010 he had a tour in 
https://www.andrerieu.com/en/about-andre/my-biography/2010
Unfortunately his weak !dutch genes were no match for the filth and garbage of Safrica, and he got a debilitating ear infection mid tour. 
DRAMA!
Drama had however occurred over time in the 2010s when AndrΓ© Rieu obtained the notable quirk, in that he REFUSED 
to speak the Colonizer language of Afrikaans!!!! 
This caused a lot of seeth for Boers, who ironically made the lionshare of his fandom in the country, even beyond the large Bonglish CD-buyers in Cape Town. This social media drama has been largely purged by time and linkrot (omg this like 15 years ago 
) But it was pretty big drama.
In his tours of 2010 & 2012, he had repeated numerous times that he had been disappointed in the demographics makeup of his shows, which as can be predicted, were always overwhelmingly 
He was especially disappointed to find Safrican black peeps didn't really give a shit, despite his massive catering towards them in all his Safrican tours, whether in Cape Town or Suncity. Especially in his "My African Dream" shows, which he tailored to include lots of black opera singers, local black dancers, and it was still 99% mayo

=====(from news24)
AndrΓ© Rieu, King of the waltz and musical hero to many South Africans, still refuses to speak a word of Afrikaans or even Dutch onstage.
Last year already many of his fans asked why Rieu did not speak a word of Afrikaans or Dutch on stage.
He has toured across the globe, always making an effort to speak at least a word of the language of the country in which he is touring. 
Rieu is aware that many of his fans in South Africa are Afrikaans speaking and that they are able to understand the Dutch heard on the DVDs.
Country's demographic 
When Volksblad asked Rieu in an official enquiry why he does not speak Afrikaans or Dutch onstage in South Africa, he said: "No comment."
"He wanted to make it easier for his fans to travel to the show, because not everyone will be able to travel all the way to Sun City. He also hopes to then see an audience that is a better representation of the country's demographic."
Rieu has said that he would like to see an audience that is 50% black and 50% white. Last year, he asked the Bloemfontein Children's choir to perform with him in his hometown of Maastricht in the Netherlands. His condition that the choir should consist of 50% black members, was heavily criticised.

I tried really hard to find old twitter 
about drama when AndrΓ© Rieu stated in front of his 99% mayo audience how sad and disappointed he was that so few black peeps had come to his Cape Town and Suncity shows, and with many people stating how full of shit he was, because if he wanted a primary black audience, he should have hosted a show in Soweto stadiums (he didn't cuz it was unsafe 
)
Like holy hells there was scores of drama - you guys don't appreciate how linkrot has culled so much drama of our forebears 
Like I remember newspaper articles about the drama and events but that shit is now banished to the shadowrealm i literally cannot find anything on the face of the internet to prove what I'm recounting to you guys, it's information just gone into the ether

!nooticers 6 million 
GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday.
Although a waiver was placed on HIV/AIDS programmes in last month's U.S. foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes, the deputy executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva.
"There is a lot of confusion especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We're seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services", Christine Stegling said.
Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20. In the following days, the U.S. State Department issued a waiver on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the world's leading HIV initiative - for life-saving humanitarian assistance.
While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.
Amid a broader decline of funding, Stegling warned there would be a 400% increase in AIDS deaths if PEPFAR financial support is not re-authorized between 2025 and 2029.
"That's 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future...Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us" she said, urging U.N. member states to step in.
"In Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated," Stegling said.
She highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are "entirely dependent" on U.S. government funding.
She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.
U.S. donations account for the majority of global funding for the U.N. programme that operates in 70 countries, leading global efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Trump's administration says it is reviewing all foreign-aid programmes to see if they align with his "America First" policy.

People who identify as animals have been warned not to discriminate against others "on account of their species" at an event this weekend. The Scotiacon convention is expected to attract 1,200 "furries" to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow. Its code of conduct warns that "harassment of any kind is not tolerated", which includes race, gender, sexuality or "the species of someone's fursona" β jargon for the animal that a person identifies as. Guests are also warned against exhibiting artworks depicting paedophilia, described as "cub porn", or humans having s*x with animals.
The organisers said: "We are aware that this is a difficult rule since the actual age of drawn characters is open to interpretation, especially where they are in a cartoon style. "Appearances count. Characters with a very childlike appearance and/or baby face may be considered children in the context of this rule." The event began in 2011 and has grown from a few dozen attending to 1,170 "furs" last year. Tickets cost Β£45 a day, or up to Β£480 with hotel accommodation. The code of conduct for artworks also states: "No zoophilia and/or bestiality involving humans or largely human-like characters (eg anime catgirls, elves or centaurs) with animals or largely non-morphic characters (four-legged) is allowed. "Other species-transcending sexual activity (eg anthros and humans) is generally allowed. "Potty-related activities are highly discouraged. This includes scat, watersports, adult diapers in use, and vomit. We do not entirely exclude this content but only seek to accept items with very mild depictions which would be suitable for a general viewing public." Delegates must not come dressed in "fetish gear" such as "anatomically correct" costumes, jockstraps or exposed buttocks. However, dog collars, leather wristbands and "accessories used in an innocent context, such as a dog harness that is part of a sled dog costume", are permitted.
Academic studies have disclosed the tensions within the furry community which includes subdivisions such as herbivore or carnivore, predator or prey, traditional animals or more fantastical creatures. In 2023 the Anthropomorphic Research Project, an international group of academics, highlighted problems including "bigotry, discrimination, intolerance and bullying in the fandom". Last year it emerged that a Scottish pupil had been allowed to identify as an animal in Aberdeen. The city council said at least one child had been recognised as having species dysphoria but it declined to specify which animal. In species dysphoria, a person feels that their body is the wrong species. People with the condition are sometimes known as therians. Numerous children are said to have tried to identify as animals, including foxes, dragons, birds, snakes and sharks, although it is unclear whether they were serious. Last year the Scottish Daily Mail said a secondary school pupil had been allowed to identify as a wolf. A council, which the newspaper did not name, said the pupil was part of a group known as furries.

Reddit Threads:
Even the usually lib-leaning bongs of Reddit are pretty cognizant of what the furry subculture really en-tails, and opt to get in on the cyberbullying.
Of course, some onlooking Amerilard furtwinks take issue with this rampant fursecution. 
Bros, I thought being trans-species was just an alt-right hoax... 
To conclude: Say what you will about bongs, but at least it's like the one western country where shit like furry conventions get appropriate pushback and backlash in the media every time they're held. Lest we forget, the same convention was met with protests and journos digging up the vile NSFW accounts of attendees just a couple years ago.

Almost all comments have already been deleted so I couldn't entirely figure out what is going on, but it seems the CEOs main Nazi behaviours are:
1. Refuses to stop using Xtter and Facebook
2. On his Xtter there are some statements to the effect that women in games should be attractive
3. He has changed character creation labels from Body Type A/B to Male/Female

So I make breastmilk and memorial jewelry and there's a big company in China that manufactures the jewelry. There's actually even a really big well known brand that's I've seen that uses their jewelry and lots of smaller businesses do too. I've looked and looked and LOOKED to find something else but there's nothing like them.
My husband is a Trump guy even though he says he doesn't like him. We've had discussions about the tariffs and he's saying that it's corrective to bring jobs back to the US.
Well I was just talking to the owner that manufactures the jewelry and he told me that they might have to shut down because they basically sell at wholesale and barely make a profit and DHL and UPS are charging more for the headache of the tariffs. He's not sure if they will have to pay or the buyers will have to. I'm hoping a praying that it's us as the buyer.
So I told my husband this and he was like, "well, it's just the market correcting itself." I was like, "you're not even a little mad that my business might be affected?!" Idk what he said but he was laughing and I blew up in his face.
I told him that he doesn't care enough about anyone but himself. He doesn't care about women's rights, lgbtq+ rights, immigrants, not my business, nothing.
Now I locked myself in my bathroom and I'm crying. He keeps trying to talk to me but I won't talk to him. Talk me down man.

Hey neighbor! Since I am one of the only normal people on this site I thought I would give you guys a quick reality check on current affairs.
1. Mexico is more important than Canada. At least Mexicans have Mexican food. All Canadians have is bad driving and false sense of superiority and endless amounts of Chinese bug people.
2. Canada is a not a serious country to us. Canada is and will always be a joke to America. You are irrelevant 20th century leftovers that only get to live in Canada because nobody else wants to. Its a frozen wasteland filled with mountainous terrain.
3. Canada is a complete shit hole. You might have teenagers fooled on Reddit, but the rest of us have made the unfortunate mistake of visiting your cursed land of mediocre socialism. Your food sucks, your music sucks, your drinks suck, your venues fricking suck, your roads suck, your drivers are the worst. Canada is purgatory realized. Even the fricking orange juice tastes like shit.
So please I know reddit has blown up that off-brand europoor ego of yours, but trust me, it's not reality.

The question came up last night of how to introduce some MMO g*mer couple friends of ours to Von Trier movies as they were looking to watch new stuff.
We deliberated what order to start them. Do you start with House Jack Built thats more modern feeling and maybe more accessible, but is pretty disturbing. Or do you start with Breaking the Waves, which is quality, but slow and cringe. Should the Idiots follow the intro, or do you go right into depression trilogy.
In the end, we gave up!
I feel like LVT is pleb as far as the art film genre. I don't know where to place him. I love him though, darn what the art strags say - they watch tripe and call it ceviche anyway.
But at the same time, I find it fascinating that the average person is so far gone on the normie spectrum that they haven't even heard of his stuff. I want to call them uncultured, but LVT barely qualifies as culture!
Normies just haven't seen anything. They've been feeding on slop for many many a year now, it's kind of insane.
