I was curious earlier with the suggestion from @squashskin@exploding-heads.com’s suggestion to go and speak to Defederatis in other places…

And I was taken aback at how inactive they appeared to be…? Fair amounts of extraneous stuff but it’s literally almost all we post about.

Thus it isn’t super surprising that some of these people felt personally slighted and absolutely cut at the fact that we make politically charged jokes.

    I dont feel like its worth it to reach out. Curious people banished from other places will peak here and join in anyway.

    This place feels like your local bar, while the others pretend to be schools. No fun allowed, 0% tolerance policy.

    about discussing them… (rant not aimed at you Lovstuhagen) Im tired of jumping around the fact I think immigrants dont belong in europe, I’m tired of pretending trannies are normal, I’m tired of pretending politics arent a rigged game…

    A hardworking white man can only take so much “its because you are privileged” before they call it a quits. Its not MY fault you dont want to wake up at 6. Its not my fault your parents refuse to speak my native language so you end up with a fat accent and dont feel like you belong. Its not my fault my culture punishes those that are easy to use violence. Its not my fault your family is so dysfunctional you cant study.

    They think life is so easy while all we do is struggle while we work towards a house, family and good work/life balance.

    Hell, Ive lived in a small studio apartment for years like a rat between the junkies while I studied my ass off. That is white privilege?

    I frankly think im actually quite mild in my opinion compared to most americans as we get the most attacks from poverty stricken countries.

    Not to mention the fact most people think with their heart and not their mind. I cant change how people feel. Thats a job for some psyop with a bunch of millions from a social inclusive investment firm.

    Its literally a lost battle and as such I remind myself we can always find eachother in a different more based country in the end.

      Hear hear, solid rant. Kids these days don’t want to learn that you get nothing except through hard work.

      The funny part is, people like Jeff Bezos loves this racial fighting. He flew a bunch of rich white people into space and then came back down and talked about “privilege”. Clearly he wants us plebs to fight amongst each other for the scraps instead of asking why he needs a 100 billion dollars.

    Honestly idk. I think going forth and doing that, will ‘humanize’ us to them. Which is a good thing. And what they need to see and understand.

    But also, I feel like doing that, they’ll pretty much be dismissive and condescending taking the opportunity to humiliate you while we are being vulnerable in a sense.

    Then the only option that will be presented is "well we’ll only consider refederation if you follow X guidelines "

    I think if you or EH were to do that, to just simply know when to say no and call bull shit if it gets ridiculous or they try to be dicks and then walk away
