  • I’m so glad to see other’s possess this opinion. The mental gymnastics they do to try to justify their insane positions and rhetoric dumbfounds me. Made the mistake of making my first account on that instance and was getting downvoted left and right for pushing back on Pro-“USSR” (they don’t even bother calling it Russia) and Pro-“DPRK” or “Korean” (because they act like North Korea is not a separate state run by dictator at the suffering of their people) content.

    I thought I was taking crazy pills until another kind user said I’m not crazy, just in the wrong instance lol. Life-saver.






  • Also a left-winger who has adopted some prepping mentality and created a “go-bag.”

    In my opinion, “proper” prepping is/should be more about educating oneself, i.e. basic survival skills, navigational skills, how to find food and drinkable water, and if possible how to grow your own food and build a shelter — in essence boy scout stuff.

    Once you know about the basics of survival, acquiring some essential tools (think axe, water purification tablets, and fire starter), and creating a rendezvous point with your loved ones is all that’s left.

    The, usually right-winger, “preppers” are in reality just apocalypse fetishists. They buy MREs in bulk, create basements to bug-out in, and buy a stockpile of guns as if the concept of “community” will no longer exist in collapse scenario. They alienate everyone around them and focus entirely on the survival of their nuclear family with the insane belief that they could survive in a bunker under their home until chaos blows over.








  • Islamic militias have repeatedly removed/genocided Jewish people from that same disputed land for centuries. Arguably the land was stolen prior to and subsequently returned to Israeli people after WWII. What the people of Israel are doing to Palestinians now is egregious and tragic, but there has been a prolonged effort to rid the Middle East of other Religions/ethnicities by the majority Muslim population of the Middle East — Hamas is and has been founded on principles that support that effort. Otherwise they would have agreed to and abided by the treatises and two-state solutions proposals of the past.

    Hamas is not a resistance force, they oppress and use the Palestinian people as it suits them in their pursuit of conquest. The people of Palestine suffer both at Hamas’s hands and the hands of Israel’s excessive and careless attempts at wiping out Hamas.

    I encourage you to read about Hamas, even Wikipedia will do, and educate yourself about how they formed, who they split off from, and what their founding and current principles are.

    I’m aware that the situation isn’t black and white, it’s certainly grey, and I have more than identified exactly how it is grey. I think once you educate yourself a bit more you will understand. Have a good one.





  • Nah I welcome polite/informative ranting, makes for an interesting time on here.

    I think I continue to agree with you.

    Personally, I subscribe (to my own personal theory) that we haven’t really biologically “evolved” since when we were living together in small/villages as tribes — effectively communes. We did not evolve to know everything about the entire world and have the problem-solving/logistical skills necessary to feed and help more than maybe 100 people (those that should live in our commune) lol

    All that to say I think living on a commune with my fam and buddies would be pretty cool, so long as no tankies are there lol.
