Bottom post of the previous page:

Patriotism is a healthy thing

Getting rid of the concept of nations would be healthier.

Until the entire world is equally wonderful (never going to happen) nations will always exist and be the best way to ensure the people in an areas needs are met.

Nationalism is extremely healthy if only because it gives people a reason to raise up arms to defend their country, because the only other reason anybody would do that is because you were paying them to as mercs. Having a merc army is a terrible idea because if the enemy can offer your army more you're utterly defenseless.

Globalism looks nice on paper until you look at Europe which is a case study in how it goes apocalyptically bad.

Pretty much this. Nations are a must-have because as much as we may wish otherwise, without solid and strictly defined borders between different groups of people the only thing that will happen is a sliding scale from tensions, to societal breakdown, to finally ethnic cleansings as the entirety of Africa shows, and former Yuguslav in the balkans.

As nice as a world without borders must sound to some, there is a very good reason why we have them. Aside from historical reasons they are absolutely vital to keeping stability, and any project that tries to eliminate borders has led to instability and tensions, like the EU.
Nations, nationalism and borders are a good thing because different cultures under the same country never works out. Especially in democracies, as whichever culture is more numerous will be able to force the others to change through laws and the political system. Coincidentally, this is why so many people are upset and worried about the mass immigration into Europe

As for the mercs. Italy tried that in its city state phase. And that is pretty much exactly how it went, they just hired eachothers mercs and that was the war.

Nationalism is extremely healthy

As German it is my duty to banish you to the 19th century.

Other way around. You may return to the 17th century where the capitalists learned that they could set up plantations in these far off nations that they forcibly removed the borders from. That certainly worked out well for those nations

[DemonFiren]

Obviously also remove capitalism.

[XSI]

Neo-liberal capitalism is a huge problem, definitely, and should be removed.

But I find it unlikely that we will see capitalism itself removed any time soon. Too many people have too big an interest in keeping it in place, and there is not yet a good alternative that isn't better served by being integrated into capitalism
As far as I know

[InsaneHyena]

Obviously also remove capitalism.

So not only you're a libcuck who wants his country to be violated by millions of foreigners, you're also a commie.

Neither liberal, nor millions, nor communist.
But I can't expect the right, whether new or old, to have any ability of thinking in anything but absolutes.

[ShadowDimentio]

Better a righty tighty speaking in absolutes than a libcuck watching their country get colonized by Muslims and telling themselves everything is fine

Also you're a commie go away

[Super Aggro Crag]

Communism is really bad and responsible for some of the worst genocides in history.

[ShadowDimentio]

Call me optimistic but I think communism might (MIGHT) work if it was applied like old man Marx wanted: to well-developed first world countries that can take care of themselves.

A lot of the reason why communism failed so much was because it was both coupled with terrible dictatorial leaders and was done in countries that couldn't take care of themselves. If it was done i say, the US, a country that's about as independent as you can get, it'd probably world a lot better and not end with millions starving like in Russia.

Capitalism is still a better system though.

[A3STH3T1CS]

you're all a bunch of reds who need to be exterminated

[DemonFiren]

Proud socialist, fite me.

[A3STH3T1CS]

Proud socialist, fite me.

I hope you enjoy your 2 cents that the rest of the world makes with you.

Actually, Russia was self-sustaining as far as food went. The famine happened because the feudal lords-turned-capitalists in the most fertile farming regions decided that they'd rather burn their fields than turn them over to commies. And their neighbour's fields too because they had to put down an example of fuck the commies
They convinced the peasantry that it was for the best too, then ran out to other countries. And then the pissed off communist party decided that these peasants who used to work the fields would be the last to get any of the scarce food, since they helped burn the place down

Unpleasant situation overall

[XSI]

Oh, they also salted the fields after burning them and killed all the cattle.
Then they cut open the cattle and filled the carcasses with manure so they would be inedible

They just wanted to make sure the communists had nothing at all

And then the russians annexed the ukraine and stole all their food, causing the greatest manmade famine in european history, a worst holocaust than the germans did a decade later.

[Incomptinence]

You could argue that democracy protects against such murderous tyranny.

However let's wait and see if the US political system becomes corrupt enough to slaughter its own citizens, corporations are like metastatic cancer over there they just need time to invent a motive.

Hashtags are the worst thing since canned bread. Until the next thing comes along.

Canned whole chicken?

[XSI]

Don't joke about that

You'll give them ideas

[EndgamerAzari]

Cannedwich

[Incomptinence]

Canned whole chicken is like something out of aliens.

[Malkevin]

Those must've been invented when we thought the Ruskies and Yanks were going to make the surface world uninhabitable for centuries.

Thats mole people food and shouldn't be consumed by anyone.

[InsaneHyena]

Religion of peace kills more people with knives and machetes this week. Better ban assault knives.

[XSI]

Aren't knives already banned in britland?

Poppers can give you a headache.

[XSI]

They're just doing it for the pageviews

It's not like they're in any way, shape or form unbiased

[Super Aggro Crag]

They're popular with people who do anal sex because they cause sphincter clenching.

[Malkevin]

In todays news:

Keith Vaz the Spazz has been revealed to be a great big poofter who hires male escorts (probably funded by fudging his expense claims too)
And Merkle has polled behind the anti-kebab party.

It is a good day.

[Takeguru]

Haha refugee quotas

What a silly dictator

[ShadowDimentio]

Your country must get at least this raped to qualify

[Super Aggro Crag]

Polls dont matter to people like Merkel. If 90 percent of the country wants her gone she will claim they are performing tyranny by majority and fire up the ovens again.

[TheColdTurtle]

How many will she gas this time?

[ShadowDimentio]

The Germans just can't catch a break, their leaders always end up doing terrible things

[DrPillzRedux]

GOD HAS SPOKEN

[InsaneHyena]

So, Trump is leading even in the CNN polls now. They can't hide the truth anymore.

[XSI]

At some point, the media as a whole will want to change the narritive to "Trump winning", because everyone loves a good underdog story

Whatever the actual polls may be, they are going to make it out to be that whoever wins ended up the underdog. That's just how drama works
And they have a good case for both Hillary and Trump as underdog.
Trump with his polling before this, and Hillary with her history haunting her.

Either way, drama sells

[Screemonster]

my sides

[InsaneHyena]

[Laharl Monthy]

Pepe is now a white supremacist symbol.

Also Hilary might be...Dead? Tho I really doubt it.

By the gods, what is up with your elections, Americans? It just keeps on giving.

[XSI]

Latest thing is that people believe Hillary is dead or otherwise too ill to even stay awake

So they got a body double to pretend they're Hillary, so that Hillary can still be president and all their 'donations' aren't useless

[DemonFiren]

Please tell me you're only believing those memes ironically.

Ho yeah, the whole "Hilary showing up healthy and hugging children after fainting 2 hours ago.". From what I saw, yeah, I can understand why the hell people would have doubt.

Bill's also going to be replacing her in the next days or so.

Please tell me you're only believing those memes ironically.

At this point, I don't what is for real in those elections. It's just gotten insane.

[InsaneHyena]

It's gonna be Bill Clinton's third term, isn't it

[DemonFiren]

At this point, I don't what is for real in those elections. It's just gotten insane.

Does that mean the only options are to laugh like a retard or to vote like one?
