Friendly reminder to everyone saying europeans wanted these laws, no we didn't. In fact we said very explicitly and loudly NEIN in the 30's to all of this shit (remember the books which got burned?). But America got tricked into a brother war and bombed us away and then forced us into accepting these laws or face total annihilation. If we were to undo these laws we'd be considered nazis again and be blown to bits. Also your nice investors who so selflessly helped us rebuild (for the low price of total control) are the people lobbying for the shit happening since then. Ever since then Europeans had no vote or choice in any of these matters. Your own VP said that your uniparty had a hand in Europe becoming the way it is now and just look at the shit USA ID was doing until Trump ended them, hell has to freeze over before i believe that they didn't pull this shit in western Europe too.

Do we need to pull ourselves out of it again? Yes absolutely! But are we fully at fault for it coming this far? no america also had a hand in this. If america hadn't intervened in WW2 we would most likely not be in this situation.

You guys might have gone a bit far in the 40s.

You're ironically also pinning the blame on the whole of America just as you're chastising Americans for blaming the problems of Europeans on the people and not the politicians who don't act in their interest. It's fine to acknowledge that subversives in the American government and in the financial world at large are to blame for Europe's current state, but don't let it get personal or get you emotional. Americans similarly have subversives within their state influenced by European schools and philosophers.

Euros especially Germans blaming America for everything are almost like people demanding reparations for slavery or blaming other countries for why Africa is awful, but with a little more self awareness as they are obviously smarter people. They make good points, but are always hampered by the majority of it still being shrugging any responsibility and blaming the US.

USAID is just a new scapegoat for why they are totally shackled by whitey. Like you said, America has been dealing with subversion for a long time too. The media, education, everything has been infiltrated and subverted. The NGO corruption ring runs deep here. Flooding our country with more illegals than anything Europe has experienced. The nest is here. The nest didn't come from nothing. It came from the communist euro centric subversion. Guess what? We're killing it. We stood up and voted and fought through to get to this point. And now the people we elected are going over and standing up for them over here, and they still make long posts blaming America and how dey dindu nuffin.

You watch, the reason anything may change over there is because America advocates for it. Not because the people there actually will create an effective movement and fight through the bullshit and being attacked by the media like the people of America did. Strike while the iron is hot and show you can, or you may never get another chance like this.

He completely discards the new GoW series so I generally don't care about his opinion. There's low points but I like what they did with Kratos.

He only discarded it for a little bit. He played the first one on stream and heavily praised it. He only hated Kratos’s beard.

Sheryl Crow sells Tesla to donate funds to embattled NPR
by Sophia Vento - 02/15/25 2:11 PM ET

Country music star Sheryl Crow said she will donate funds from selling her Tesla to NPR amid President Trump’s intensified calls to slash federal funding for public broadcasters — calling out tech billionaire Elon Musk’s role in the administration.

“My parents always said… you are who you hang out with,” Crow wrote Friday in a post on Instagram, sharing a video of the vehicle being towed. “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla.”

The post comes as Trump has turned up the heat on public broadcasters, arguing outlets such as NPR and PBS have a liberal bias and should not receive federal funding — which makes up a small portion of its financing.

Earlier this month, Musk, who helms the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, called for the federal government to “defund” the public media outlet.

“It should survive on its own,” the Tesla CEO wrote on the social platform X.

Crow, who has been an outspoken critic of the president, slammed efforts to dismantle NPR, which was founded in 1970 and receives the majority of its funding from private sponsorships and user contributions.

“Money donated to @NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth,” the country artist wrote.

Trump has long called for NPR to be dismantled, and in January, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched an investigation into the two outlets. FCC chair Brendan Carr expressed concern that the broadcasters violate federal law by airing commercial advertisements.

“I am concerned that NPR and PBS broadcasts could be violating federal law by airing commercials,” Carr wrote to the news outlets in a letter. “In particular, it is possible that NPR and PBS member stations are broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements.”

The “If It Makes You Happy,” singer’s comments come as Democratic lawmakers have expressed concern about Musk’s expanding influence in the Trump administration, while Republicans are reportedly scared to disagree with Trump’s agenda and potentially face primary challengers bankrolled by the billionaire.

i don't even know how jaffe managed to be a TESTER, he's clearly incapable of thinking critically with regards to video games.

Has he never played a Metroid game before? Like "destroy able blocks" is a thing in every Metroid game isn't it? My mind instantly went to "You can destroy the blocks"

Interesting article but I think it only barely touches on what I view as the real reason. Maybe because it was outside of the scope of the article, and was merely just a puff piece for this lady's book, but the fact that they cited that it's falling for people all over the world is not even touched upon and they only focus on first world countries (citing economic hardship and rise in smart phones, though the latter is prevalent in 2nd and 3rd world too) is something that would be neat to follow up on.

I do think for women, a lot of propaganda has been made to push that getting married and having kids is the end of your life, talking about how ot severely impacts your career and how your body is ruined after. I won't go into it more, it's been discussed to near ad nauseam, but I'd like to see if it's actually true that 2nd and 3rd world fertility is falling as well. Not sure where I'd even start to find that though.

I keep hearing about the uproar over DOGE hitting the IRS and *gasp* can see your tax records?

Newsflash: I had a job for a half-day (before quitting after the 1-hour DEI struggle session) that would entail my organizing tax documents in PDFs.

Imagine! An unvetted Kiwi having visual access to your private tax information! Where is the nearest fainting couch?!

They’re probably training a kid to act against how they would normally feel through positive and negative reinforcement. Like applauding a 3 year old for striking a cringy superhero pose, so you can convince to do it again later for laughs.

Funny that you think they'll use reinforcement and not just punishment.

The Trump administration has urged Romania to relax travel restrictions on Andrew Tate, an influencer facing charges in Bucharest. Tate and his brother Tristan, dual US and UK nationals, were arrested in 2022 on alledged charges including human trafficking and organized crime, which they deny. US officials initially raised the Tates' case in a recent phone call, and Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, discussed it with Romania's foreign minister at the Munich Security Conference. A request was made for their passports to be returned during court proceedings. The Romanian foreign minister did not comment on discussions but emphasized the independence of Romanian courts. Grenell claimed their conversation was brief and reiterated his support for the Tate brothers.

There's some real retardation posted over the last few pages, where I think everyone agrees but can't seem to find the correct words for everyone to agree on.
I think, as a community and a thread, we can blast away some misconceptions.

When Europeans refer to 'America' in a negative light - We don't mean the good, honest, red, white and blue Americans, we mean Americans/American Government, as a catch-all term for the MIC/NWO/Globohomo spreading their infection via USAID and media propaganda.

Europeans want 'America' out of Europe - We want the above mentioned MIC out of Europe.

Russia isn't the enemy but 'muh russia' - Russia isn't le big bad that's coming to take Europe. That's MIC propaganda. If the MIC removed their bases from Europe, Russia wouldn't attack because it's still attacking NATO and article 5 yadda yadda.

Ukraine - a false flag war designed to kill a load of straight-huwhite males, the same people who could defend Europe against a foreign invasion from Muslims. Russia did what any superpower would have done, don't be a hypocrite. The forever wars need to stop and, without USAID-style propaganda, the forever wars will stop because the MIC will run out of funds.

What Trump is doing in regards to cutting USAID is a positive step for the whole world, as decreasing the reach of MIC/Globohomo can only be positive. Hopefully this auditing of foreign aid spreads across Europe and we partake in cutting foreign funds to pointless causes.

We do need a word or phrase for nU-SA, as it gets confuses when refering to 'Americans' - the MIC/Globohomo and 'Americans' - let me grill in the countryside.

Normally I would point out that globohomo doesn’t exclusively or even primarily stem from the US and is even worse in Europe, but with everything coming out about USAID, I’m not so sure anymore.

On that note, is there any site documenting every major executive order, spending cut, or thing since Trump was inaugurated? This thread is great for keep up with what’s happening “right now”, but a more consolidated resource would be great for an overview.

So I think this can fit in here because there are some political elements to it but I just had to share this absolute maniac.

I could not watch the entire thing. I tried and tried and tried but I would skip around watch thirty or so seconds and have to stop.

This person perfectly embodies everything wrong with the left. They have no idea what they are talking about(and admit it) and seem to have some kind of mental disorder that is going untreated. They demand your attention and want to be taken seriously but dress like a dollar tree X-Men character. This guy interviews literal crackheads and they make more sense than this woman.

but I'd like to see if it's actually true that 2nd and 3rd world fertility is falling as well. Not sure where I'd even start to find that though.

It's as simple as comparing fertility rates from a few decades ago.

Here's one from reddit.

Notice how, even in Africa, fertility rates have been dropping (but not quite to the extent of first world countries).

I do think for women, a lot of propaganda has been made to push that getting married and having kids is the end of your life, talking about how ot severely impacts your career and how your body is ruined after. I

I feel it's that way for both sexes, just for different reasons. A popular idea in culture is also "The man doesn't want to be married and the woman does, the bachelor party is one last night of freedom before he's ball and chained!". While women are pushed fear of their bodies and career, men are pushed that you're losing your freedom, you'll get divorced and she'll take everything, etc.

In general even with the negative messaging for both sexes, I think many people are just bad at picking partners, bad at compromise, bad at not being themselves early on so each party truly knows who they're getting, and in the age of social media it's easy to be inundated with so much shit to compare yourself and your relationship to that it adds even more acid to dissolve that relationship. You have to remember, kiwi reading this, that you may know intuitively social media is doctored and showing but a glimpse even if it isn't outright fake, but people other than yourself are really fucking stupid.

The amount of guys I know who hate their wives or ex wife because she hated his hobbies, there's many. Why'd he get married to someone if that's so important to him? How much did he do them, too much? Maybe she felt left out or alone, did he compromise? Maybe he didn't want to do them much but when he did she raised a stink, why couldn't she compromise? Maybe he simply is just a man child and never puts their relationship first, many such cases.


There's so many questions and it's a flow chart mess, but the bottom line is you didn't truly know the person, compromise failures, or people just change. You or the person you marry isn't the same person you're going to be with the rest of your life. And it swings back again to compromise.

Could being friendly with Russia be a move to subvert China? Russia and China are big pals, if America said "you can be friends with us, you can even have the THE Ukraine, but you gotta backstab China mid 2026"...

Well, it's a play that won't work a second time because America still holds frozen Russian assets. Why bother with fuzzy Trump promises which might get overturned in 4 years when China makes them sanction proofed?

Remember when the Soviets were our enemy and we tried being friends with China because China and them were at odds? shipping all our jobs over there? We'll convert them right? Yeah how'd that go.
