Those people are the problem.

By the way I have always wondered this, if you hate how much the USA is becoming why not just get a Euro citizenship/become a citizen of Sebia? You always say how much you love it there. If you do some digging you might even qualify for citizenship through blood descent for a few countries depending on where and when your bio family (either side) was from in Europe and when they came over. Many countries allow for duel citizenship so you won't lose your USA one. And you won't have to learn another language. I could help point you in the right direction if you want to know what you might qualify for.

European countries lack the protections null has as an American citizen from malicious litigation or criminal charges, all of which goes out the window the instant he becomes subject to EU laws.

The fact of the matter is, if you follow the rules as they appear on paper and try to hold the "wrong" people accountable in any way at all, you will be fucked over for it in exchange. I don't just hear about it on the reg, I see it.

To be fair this is like, everything. Even Josh cannot get something as basic as a bank account without deleting kiwifarms and never going against the grain again.

You insist on integrity in the one place I know for a fact there is none.

I don't believe he said anything about how it was a great bastion of integrity, just that poor people can join the military and get taken care of if they follow orders. It's an opportunity for them to crawl off the shit heap and make something of their lives.

I said nothing about integrity. I was saying what you're saying. You clarified it correctly. Also it is important to note that many of these immigrants come from countries where they have to do mandatory service for their shit head military with no reward. So if I came from a shit country where I had to serve in a shit military why not do my service for the USA and get a free citizenship out of it?

I would qualify for Italian citizenship but I would have to sue. It's a weird thing where there is a law for paternal birthright citizenship, but my mother has the Italian ancestry. The Italian courts ruled that the law was discriminatory so maternal birthright citizenship is an avenue, but even though the law is unconstitutional it was never changed. So you have to apply, be rejected for having maternal birthright citizenship only, and then sue in Rome for an automatic win against an illegitimate law.

This, of course, is all in Italy, famous for their horrific bureaucracy. It would be very expensive and at the end of it I'd be Italian and there's no real advantage to that. Maybe if the Italians were kicking out all the Albanians and sinking the African dinghies with torpedoes I'd consider it, but they're just another European liberal democratic country indistinguishable from the rest.

As far as Serbia, I'm not really sure I'd want to spend my life in such a small country. The US is uniquely positioned with its size and strength to really defend its constitution. If a country like Serbia decides it's going to fight the global complot and be a free state, it would just be reduced to rubble again.

Makes sense, by the way if you are friends with a lawyer in Italy, they might be able to help.or know someone who knows someone. I noticed that it is far more expensive if you are out of the country vs in the country and if you get a lawyer who's trying to get money from Americans vs a lawyer in Italy. I know on Reddit, there are many guides, and I know if you do the foot work your self the price goes down substantially. I have friend who did the whole process herself for at most $3,000 from beginning to end documents, passport and all. By the way the Italian government is giving away homes for 1 euro in Rural Italy if you maintain the home. There is a Dutch youtuber who is doing it and its quite comfy to watch.

<= here is a link to some info about it.

By the way if you have an Italian Passport remember you can live and work and study in any schegen country. Personally, I would get a second passport as a "emergency option". I personally will NEVER give up my US citizenship for exactly the same reasons and I also belive in the us constitution and for what it stands for. But you never know what the future might hold.


Fun fact with a Euro passport you can get a Swiss Bank account....Just saying....

After the kitboga mention, I was just listening to his stream and there’s a large soundcloud playlist of (mostly death metal) kitboga remixes done by random autists, called “maldcore”. Some are really good!

This banger is still the GOAT of Kitboga-related choons. Would be a good intro or outro for a pajeet-heavy MATI stream such as the last one.

We have the same thing in Japan for the abandoned houses. It sounds cool to have a "free" house, but it's always a huge trap.
There is a reason why it's free. It comes with strings attached.

Usually you have to renovate the house (costs as much as building a new house) while still respecting the laws and regulations concerning conserving the "traditional" architecture and appearance of the home, which makes it a lot more expensive, as well as having the house conforming to modern safety regulation to live in.
On top of that you often have back taxes, have to have the home as your primary residence for X years, cannot sell it for a very long time, etc. It's not nearly as fun and cheap as it sounds. They do that kind of thing for the houses that failed to be sold at the regular state-run auctions where they sell houses that have been seized or do not have a private owner anymore. Ask yourself why no one bought it in the first place.

I have no idea if I'm late on this, and I haven't had the time to watch the most recent MATI, but Wired ran a hit piece on Kiwi Farms.

TL;DR Blames Kiwi Farms for GamerGate and says that the website is so awful that it so be taken down yet doesn't explain what exactly is wrong with Kiwi Farms. The actual interesting piece of this argument is that you're watching someone claim to care about free-expression on the "internet" (no uppercase 'I') but basically go "eh, Kiwi Farms is so evil, fuck it."

Also Null was right: The article condemns the EFF even though the EFF went on a long diatribe about how also the Kiwi Farms.

Retard Author of this article: https://www.wired.com/author/katherine-alejandra-cross/ (Katherine Alejandra Cross). Looks like a troon and has a PhD in Cyberbullying. Whatever the fuck that means.

@Null : Don't know if you saw this or not (or if you've talked about it), but I haven't seen anyone talk about this. Thought you would be interested.

You referred to the military as the "great equalizer". Any system so deep rooted in nepotism is no such thing, and to not be nepotistic requires a great deal of integrity. To call a system an "equalizer" of any measure is to claim that it has a great deal of integrity. That's like claiming someone isn't violent while also saying you never said that they don't hit people when someone points out how often they start fights.

I have no idea why you're so enamored with the US military, but part of me hopes you enlist someday to find out the hard way. You sound a bit like one of those online recruiter weirdos or an enlistee who vehemently denies and defends their mistake in joining. Or one of those guys who just loves military propaganda films, games and books. I can't blame you too much for not understanding what you've never experienced firsthand or by proxy if that truth is on the other side of a wall built by MRE Steve and shootybangs.

Regardless, I know what I know and you're not interested in shattered illusions at the moment. Black pills aren't any fun.
