be yourself unless yourself sucks, then improve yourself so you can be yourself

Registering to vote in this country is almost TOO easy. I'm not saying to restrict voting rights based on land ownership again. I would think universal civics test and regular background checks would help make the right to vote mean a bit more.

Fucking over subhumans and being opportunistic towards niggers, jeets and etc financially, is good. Even morally correct. They fuck up our societies so why shouldn't i yoink their hats while they aren't looking because they're too retarded to pay attention to them getting fucked over.

Men and women should stay in their ethnic groups and only date out if literally no existing counterpart is available for them that is willing to date them.

Religion is fucking stupid. Except mine, of course.

Unpopular on normie circles I'm not sure if most Kiwi Farmers would agree with this, but colonialism isn't inherently bad if it actually cares to integrate the people into a higher form of civilization and treat them as just any other part of the empire (see China, Russia (I understand it technically isn't classical but it still works) Rome and any other classical empire that actually cared about integrating their subjects instead of just extracting from them) I believe that if Europeans actually had actually tried to HEAVILY invest into their colonies during the second phase of colonialism then maybe independence may not have seem like a foregone conclusion.

You may say that they did try but honestly the fact of the matter is that if they had really done so most Indonesians would be speaking Dutch today and would had embraced European cultural and social values instead of rejecting them because they were segregated and marginalized.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat I get you mean there is like 1 island or maybe two that are colonized by Belgium(?) and they are chill, however on average it doesn't work especially look at Africa, most of them were colonized. India was colonized. You can't just change people like that. You can have some effect but it will be like 10% better people and not 200% better. They need to want to improve themselves.
Also as a Pole fuck you for having such opinions. Poland was colonized by Russians Germans Austria we are still Polish and very smart.

Anything over 55-60F is horrible. Especially in sunny weather. I don't know how people can stand summer. How are you having fun outside sweating in 90 degree solar Hell? Summer is the worst season. I dread it every year.

Additionally in Poland you have mosquitos which are benign however they are annoying as fuck.

Men and women should stay in their ethnic groups and only date out if literally no existing counterpart is available for them that is willing to date them.

Depends. Germans and Poles are 2 different ethnic groups yet they are both white (true Germans ofc)

Vote blue no matter who, even if they say they will literally nuke Palestine. Fuck Palestine.

Soft-tip darts are for pussies and all electronic dartboards are garbage. Throw real steel-tipped ones.

Credit cards aren't bad to have, it's your shitty purchasing and impulsive purchasing decisions are what make them bad to have.

Chubby women are okay. Women who are walking blobs is not okay.

I'm okay with junk food and fast food being increased in price. Good, learn to fucking eat better and cook for yourself. You'll find that, even though gathering the materials and what's needed to cook a meal is seemingly expensive. It is expensive for a short term, as opposed to you, going to Burger King every other day, every week of every month that piles up combined.

UBI is a terrible idea that is plagued by idealistic fantasies of those who're mooching off of welfare, food stamps .etc To make UBI work, one of or more of those things will have to go. You can't have unemployment, food stamps, welfare, wic and then UBI on top of it. If you believe we should have all of those things and more, you're a parasite.

half the reason why there are so many problems in current year is because people stopped being afraid. this applies to both big and small problems.

I disagree.

I think many of the worlds problems in current year exist because people are constantly afraid.

Compromise position:
People are constantly afraid of nonexistent problems like what Twitter or Facebook or Reddit tell them is going to being about TEOTWAWKI, like "OMFG TRUMP IS GONNA PUT US ALL IN DEATH CAMPS WHILE NAZI KKK ICE AGENTS GUN DOWN HECKIN WHOLESOME TRANS PEOPLE OF COLOR!!!"...

...but are also no longer afraid of being punished for being an anti-social dipshit. I see it all the time in my line of work, even "upper class" kids are basically just feral retards that run around terrorizing the public and causing problems while the average person doesn't even have any regard for their fellow humans. No respect for the rules of the road, or basic decency in their interactions.

I think it goes deeper than that.

People are afraid of doing anything without being handheld by an "expert" but if an expert tells them to do something sketchy they will go all in and do stupid shit like mutilate themselves or take an experimental vaccine without any hesitation.

the idea that the nascient soviet union was colonizing poland by just fucking annexing it is downright nonsensical. the soviet union came into existence because the russian aristocracy fucking collapsed and the country was taken over my marxist revolutionaries who explicitly stated their goal was international communism, and part of that goal was an ever-enroaching imposition of social, cultural, and political influence. Poland was behind the iron curtain, and the iron curtain was not colonization. construing that as "colonization" is the exact kind of manipulation that marxists try and hoist on people to make them feel smart for destroying their own political agency and allows their gay rhetoric to work on even more people.

Poland as a polity does not have a very long history and was cleaved from other political entities right around the time that colonialism as a political strategy was waning in the first place. By the time the american revolution happened the french and british were essentially already in a cold war over their inability to project power effectively due to the technology limits of the 18th century. Like, the power vacuum that allowed polish-lithuania to exist independently from russia was the same power vacuum that got poland partitioned and eventually flipped around and made russia annex poland. Trying to anachronistically wave a banner around that "poland was colonized too" is so fucking gay it's unreal, dude

To make UBI work, one of or more of those things will have to go.

Don't proponents of UBI generally argue one of the main advantages is that you just replace all of those things with it? Like, that's the point. Then you no longer need the bureaucracy of admin staff to means test or identify cheats etc. You get your check, no more no less, and that's it, no ifs ands or buts.

I have spoken to both men and women from many different ethnic groups who believe this.

Anarcho-primitivism and all adjacent "technology bad billions must die" ideologies will never, ever work in the long term because innovation and refinement are fundamental parts of human nature. No sane person is ever going to agree to go back to wiping their ass with tree bark and eating lice off of each other because the funny magic rock hurt your feefees. I'm so glad that smelly sperg terrorist they worship spent the rest of his life rotting in prison. His siblings who ratted him out are the real heroes.

I think that people who defend Right to Repair and Stop Killing Games misunderstand ownership of a physical or digital product with ownership of the underlying intellectual property.

When people buy a game, specially an online game, people buy a license under specific terms, they didn't acquire unlimited rights over the product as if they owned it. Gamers might not like this arrangement but that does not mean they were deceived or scammed, I think everyone understand that an online game or game in an account will not be accessible forever, the idea that a company is restricting your rights when you are no longer able to access ,something you were not meant to own forever, assumes your rights are being infringed when that's not what you were promised in the first place.

Companies have legitimate reasons to restrict access to their games: it can expose trade secrets, releasing source code could reveal unused assets, embarrasing code comments and file names, it could create security risks, it can damage the brand in a wide variety of ways and it can create liabilities, the company might want you to play new games instead of old ones, which is frustrating but that is not a violation of your rights because you were never promised to keep the game in perpetuity, you bought a license for it tied to an account, not ownership of it.

The same logic applies to Right to Repair, buying a product does not entitle you to schematics, access to spare parts, access to diagnosis tools, etc. This is frustrating, but if the contract says you were not promised this your rights are not being restricted, and you can avoid these products to send the message you don't approve of these practices.

The problem of these two movements is that, rather than defend the rights of consumers, they seek to expand the rights to include things they were never promised in the first place, and that in tandem restrict the rights of intellectual property of companies, the argument is not that rights are being violated, but that ownership and licensing should be changed after the purchase was done, you are seeking to change conditions of a contract after it was signed, rather that defending rights that were violated.

There is also no free lunch in the real world, if you force companies to change by making games playable after the companies want to kill the game, or if you make repairs easily available for X numbers of years, that imposes costs and loss of profits to these companies, which will manifest in increased prices, less features or less experimentation for new products, the consequences will show eventually beyond the stage one, think "what happens after?".

The arguments of "cultural preservation" are not good IMO because these games still exist privately stored somewhere, they don't stop existing because consumers have no longer access to it, maybe this is not the best analogy, but it's like someone putting an art piece or historical artifact in a museum for a price, and then taking it home, just because now it's in someone's house it didn't stop existing, and if something is important culturally that not does not override property rights, otherwise properly rights are dependent on popular demand.

Also, there is something called "revealed preference" in economics, people might say they want to own a game forever, but GOG allows you to download games and keep them forever, yet almost no one ever buys on that store, I'm sure 99% of people who support Stop Killing Games use other stores because it has more games and the prices are generally better than GOG, no one is forcing you to buy these games and you could be boycotting those who engage in these practices and supporting people who let you keep games forever, the fact that this doesn't happen tells me that it's not a real value people hold; why do you keep buying these games if you hate these practices so much?

These two movements are not about protecting customers from deception and scamming by companies, they are about redefining the relationship between customers, creators and intellectual property in a way that has economical and legal trade offs not apparent in stage one thinking, and it uses as it's main argument a supposed violation of customer rights that never existed.
