you just gotta use the dialectic method and ask him to explain why he thinks the way he does. that and be a positive role model. so many young men these days latch onto this right-wing nonsense because they are hyper-reactionary against "weakness" and want to be "strong" whether that's mentally, physically or financially. capitalism provides so many false idols like sports stars or rw grifters. demonstrate that compassion and open-mindedness are far more powerful than hate. that, or bully him, it's up to you lol. many privileged dudes hold bigoted beliefs until they have to fight for them, and then they melt away pretty fast.

Moral of the story: never give money to anyone online unless you have vetted them for a very long time.

Hating Muslims is so early 00s, now trans people are the new boogieman. These people with hate in their hearts are like monsters.

Wow. In Germany, it's illegal to drive your kids to school.

thanks for reminding me to delete the app

Right, so Israel and Poland are just fucking idiots for making a diplomatic incident over Ukraine's constant reverence of people who perpetuated the Holocaust? the fact that there are doofuses like you denying this is just another reason why it is a problem. hell, look at this list of monuments to just 1 SS guy, and that's just in Ukraine, not counting the ones in other countries or other Ukranian nazis: https://en.wikipedia.org/...

Anyways, stay mad. The Nazi corpses thankfully keep piling up.

I listened to the Putin speech where he referenced 1917. I know he's not a fan of the Bolsheviks, but it seems he took issue with the violence of the civil war and the incompetence of the Empire than the actions of the Bolsheviks, at least that's my reading of it.

Do I support innocent civilians dying or workers being sent to fight and getting killed? No. Do I support stamping out of Nazis? Yes. Russia has a right to security guarantees on its border which the west has continually undermined for the last 30 years. Ukraine is being use as pawn to destroy Russia and Russia made the ugly decision of striking back. I welcome the downfall of NATO.

One network that is easy to get into for westerners who don't have good Mandarin skills is 快手 "Kuaishou", it's just like TikTok with a few more features. It seems like it's a more rural/2/3rd tier city focused as opposed to Douyin. I also like 小红书 (little red book LOL) which is kind of like Instagram but not garbage. The aforementioned Bilibili is good, and of course WeChat. Accessing them in your browser, you can use translation plugins also for easier use.

oh for sure. it's just less prevalent. you don't hear 'enlightened centrists' or whatever calling to shutdown mosques like they were 15 years ago or sum shit, it's on the back burner

Honestly, they stopped making good cars after 2005.

still ain't working on me. f that nazi in charge

disillusionment with the government, decades of stagnation and lack of revolutionary spirit

Youtube being youtube. Their algorithm is simply, bad.

Reminds me of this classic cartoon by Eli Valley: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EJ6T9ZYWoAMKXPd.jpg

Tons of things like others have said. Gardening, dancing, fashion, romance, R&B, Opera, growing my hair out, wine, healthy food. I don't really even consider these unmanly, but I know many do for a cis hetero man. Other than choosing clothes that fit my body type, my gender has no influence on the things I do or choices I make.

I think you may be downplaying the Denazify part of it. The fact that Ukraine has continually glorified genocidaires, put up monuments to them, incorporated neo-nazis into their government, armed them, and are supported by NATO, is something the entire world should be alarmed at. For example, Canada's deputy PM is a descendent of them and condones their actions, which is extremely troubling. Poland and the Israel regime have also condemned Ukraine in similar ways for this.

One of the main reasons for the original secession of the Donbass was like you said outright attacks, and attempting to "Ukrainize" the area language wise, which is absurd considering how similar the people are.

body worn cameras get turned off all the time mysteriously

Canadian conservatives don't really have original thoughts, they just copy America's notes lol.
