It's tragic he was assassinated. Even in the classical period the "bury your queer people trope" was in full swing.

Romans did not care about that. Rome was filled with sexual experimentation


this.
if anything, he was just killed cause he was the Emperor and someone else wanted the job

and even if it didn't, you're forgetting about our part in the Napoleon war which ended with Denmark giving Norway to us in the Kiel, still extending our "last war" to 1814.
a peace term that the Norwegians then ignored, which then prompted the aforementioned conflict

Again, I'm not forgetting. I'm going by what the country celebrated in 2009. There's surely some way of defining it that works out.
All in all, Nikra was wrong by 100 or so years and the rest of his post was fascistoid bait.


i don't remember any celebrations of the 200 year peace in 2009.
i do however remember it happening in 2014.

also, what was that last part about a "Nikra"?

Didn't think it counted as a war, since it was an internal conflict. 2009 was the 200 year anniversary.

Hanif Bali for party leader

I don't like him at all. He has so far shown an inability to actually debate issues without resorting to petty insults and hateful comments at everyone who disagree with him.

He's not necessarily hateful IMO, but his commentary often ends at pointing out others' bad behavior/flaws/hateful comments. So I don't think he's very constructive, although he's pretty clever.


this is true.
he's very good at pointing out when other people are being idiots.
but he would be absolute shit at leading a party.
and IIRC, i think he knows that.

The quote in the OP seems to refer to people like Antifa etc. At least that's what I assume is the context given current events and discussions on this board. Those groups are violent, but they're quite openly violent against fascism, nazism, and so on. Comparisons to totalitarian regimes that execute any dissenter fall a little flat, I think.


perhaps.
but if you'll look closely, none of my posts about communist genocides have been about or related to the discussion on Antifa in any way.

the first post i responded to was Unfairs post about Communist Russia, which then led to Samurons claim that "Communism is innocent, Stalin was just a mean guy who happened to be Communist." and the claim that they only ever go after the rich.

i don't see where you got the idea that i was using totalitarian regimes to rag on Antifa, when these discussions have been completely separate from each other.

the Communist Party of Kampuchea (Khmer Rouge) in Cambodia killed people cause they were academics, or looked like they might possibly be academics or smart, like anyone who wore glasses.

"The population must, they believed, be made to work as labourers in one huge federation of collective farms. Anyone in opposition - and all intellectuals and educated people were assumed to be - must be eliminated, together with all un-communist aspects of traditional Cambodian society."

i don't understand why Sansa sent away Brienne, right after talking to Littlefinger about her being loyal to the oath.

at first, i thought Arya did a face thing and trick Brienne to leave, but that doesn't seem plausible, cause i'm under the impression that she needs to kill a person before being able to use the face.


I got the impression Sansa or littlefinger were gonna try to do something to arya and didn't want Brienne to stop her. Could be way off on that though


oh. that make much more sense.

The whole capturing the wight thing is so stupid. They tried that in like, book two. And it didn't work. But I guess when you have teleportation powers it'll work better. And I also guess that Qyburn will get a huge science boner from seeing the wight.

lol it'd be funny if when they are done presenting it Qyburn was like "oh would you mind if i kept that?"

Did you watch any seasons before?
It's there


Tbf, the given explanation doesn't make much sense. The children of the forest didn't want humans cutting down trees so they created a zombie horde? Sounds pretty ridiculous.


think of it like this:
to fight the Soviets, the Americans helped fund the Taliban, Bin Laden etc.
but then that bit them in the ass when they turned and crashed a plane in WTC.

same thing here. they created the Walkers to fight the Men, and then they turned on them.

does this extend to other symbols that nazis and racists use?
they do have a tendency to just take over shit all willy nilly.

Probably WOULD, but it's kind of a hypothetical.


i'm just gonna take this to its final conclusion.
even though i hate it when people take an american concept and just putting it on the Sweden, assuming it's the same, i'm doing that right now.

here in Sweden, the king Karl XII has for some reason been used by racists now and then. he was never a racist himself. never anything that even suggested that (hell, he lived in Turkey for a while). he was just one of the guys who ruled during our geographical, military and political height, and that makes him attractive to these people.
should his statue be taken down because they decided to use him?

the same can be asked for other symbols used by Scandinanvian nazis, like Thors Hammer Mjölner and the Swedish flag as a whole.
