The tendency for yt ppl to get up in non-yt ppl's mentions with complaints and bullshit off-topic cod philosophical debates the moment the idea of treatin ppl who ain't yt as equally human is still a thing on here huh.

And many other places, of course.

Sounding clever is less important than giving a shit.

When a rich yt man starts talkin about 'realising his vision' it's a good idea to either knock him out or run like hell.

@skinnylatte My Aunt would totally fight the person who preferred Fry's to actual Turkish delight.

Australians: "Hwell, we're not like the US"

Me: (surveying giant carpark full of giant cars all huddled round the entrance so they don't get a teensy tiny drop of rain on em on the way to big, square, bland mall full of Product™) "Hmnyerrss but also no"

To be fair, you are a bit different. Less diverse, for a start.

Yt Euros v excited today with the news that instead of the nasty US death weapons made by terrible fascists, they'll be usin happy EU health weapons, particularly aircraft, such as those made by such groups as, say, Airbus. Made up of companies that formed out of the superseded Messerschmitt, Dornier, Daimler and so on. At the US's initial behest, of course.

Yeah.

Lots of "We want Europe to remain strong and not be weak" rhethoric.

Uh huh.

And the same sortsa ppl who had no problem with EU weapons bein used in Africa, W/Asia, etc.

Mm. Hm.

Oh, and big-upping French nuclear subs. and ICBMs.

Neato.

Still. I'm sure just like with the US, the EU's warcrimes will be charged accordingly in (checks notes) ah.

Y'know, I think I can see a slight conflict of interest here.

@skinnylatte Oh god I've encountered em enough out in fleshspace. The level of eugenical mindset in Europe is vastly underestimated.

It's funny that so many Europeans bitch about people in the US on here, given the most annoying ppl on here are yt ppl from Europe.

There. I said it.

Oh that's right. Descendents of ppl who only just recently learnt that stickin vegetable oil on yerself in the sun is a foolish decision.

It's only 30C but the sun is beatin like fuck down on the wall in front of me and who designs these damn houses?

If you think I'm joking, then you have not met yt Bri'ish ppl.

European: "Actually I know a lot about Africa..."

Congratulations. You know something about a continent that has nearly a fifth of the planet's population, covers a fifth of the landmass of the Earth, and contains a quarter of its nation-states.

Have a medal shaped like a cookie on top of a fuckin obelisk.

Remember how well that went last time?

Oh, no. That's right. You only react when they're loud US fascists. The quiet 'polite' 'sophisticated' ones that stayed in Europe are okay by you.

Fuckin lawncare association politics.

The fact that Germany just voted en masse for fuckin fascists and much of Europe just went (shrug) really shows the zeitgeist is still "Welp, if it don't affect me directly, fuck em"

@skinnylatte Like, the fact at no point did she go "Y'know what? I should absolutely just stop talking right this minute" is astounding levels of yt.

I hate that attitude in any colony. Like, "omg how did it get this bad" helloooo nation-state built on pure evil ffs

Dear US liberals: the US don't actually need Russia to fuck its shit up for it. The fucked-upness is built in. Hence why all the money has enslavers on it.

The more you fuckin learn, eh?

This is also how docklands go from bein shady as fuck (and a lot more interesting) to somewhere you'd have to pay USD50 for a cup of fuckin coffee.

Remembering that I've ended up in places that have turned out to be incredibly trendy by complete accident. This happens when you're a poor person livin in a big city, so you catch that bit where stuff starts to take off but the gentrifiers will only visit it with a distateful look but not deign to live there cause of being massive postcode snobs.

Until it becomes 'up and coming real estate'
