Hey USA, you guys ok down there?
No.
Naw man, we’re pretty fucking far from ok
We need some cold pipe hittin niggas to deal with the felon in chief.
If only Marcellus Wallace was real
Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.
No, send help.
I'm stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.
So I'm gonna go with "No."
fyi there is no such thing as a no log vpn; be careful out there.
also look into reloading. it’s not only economical but nerdy fun too.
Mullvad?

It's an instrument, not a solution. In general I'd advise everyone to think of security thus:
If someone wants to find your ass, they'll find your ass.
But if you follow all the best practices, they won't find your ass accidentally or just for fun. They'll have to work.
Tor FTW. 100%
Try looking up something your gov does not like.
just remember, vpn is a camo, not a security product and be safe. tor, other computers, etc.
Jesus. I’m sorry to hear my friend.
Started reading this as "stacking up animation" and thought you are going for inner escapism with your anime collection when there'll be problems with interwebs, interpipes and intergunshots on the streets.
NO
In no way, shape, or fucking form nor by any conceivable (or even inconceivable) stretch of even the fucking wildest of imaginations.
This is the most accurate no I've ever read in my life.
Thank you.
Not fucking at all.
not okay
No we're pretty fucking far from ok.
No, we're about as far from OK as a country can get. The world needs to unite against us and muster the largest liberation force ever seen. And I mean the entire world literally every nation that can send warriors, send them. Germans, you have been where we are. You know, all too well, where this road leads. You could not turn yourselves back from it, and so you needed the help of 4 allied world powers. Now, one of those world powers is trudging down that same road you walked almost a century ago. And, I don't think we will be able to turn ourselves back, just as you could not.
Yeah, no, clean up your own mess. We have better things to do than rescue you from a mess you got yourselves into.
Is that what we said to you when it happened to you?
You mean WW2? I don't know if US propaganda covers this, but Europe was fighting the Nazis for like a year or two before the US entered. As I recall, you guys were staying out of it, with an isolationist stance, until you were attacked by the Japanese.
But could Germany have ever turned back from fascism on its own, without any help whatsoever? Let's say the entire continent just let the Nazis have their way and let Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss play out their experimental new form of government out to its horrible logical conclusion. Could Germany ever come back from that? Could the world?
The world, yes. Germany, probably not. As the citizens got increasingly fed up with their governments antics, there would have been revolts and protests. These are Germans, not Americans, they hadn't been propagandized into submission beforehand.
True, but they had been riding a wave of Pan-Germanism prior to the Nazis. Germany had many diverse regions that didn't see each other as equals prior to the Weimar Republic.
Nope. Germans will not help. They have seen where this road leads, and they've decided that they must never do anything military again. They prefer allowing all of the rest of the world to turn 100 % fascist over doing one single small thing that somehow hints towards militarism. Germans allow the road to lead where it leads, as long as that does not happen in Germany.
Also, for the same reason, in Germany it is extremely impolite calling someone a nazi. As long as they aren't openly showing a swastika or publicly calling for a genocide with that specific word, or lifting their arm in the specific way done by Germans in 1930's and 1940's, they are allowed to do what they do. If you call someone a nazi, you are comparing their acts to what Germany did in 1940's, and it's considered a grave insult towards the victims of those times. It is not acceptable in Germany to say to someone is behaving just like a nazi, and therefore, it is de facto not acceptable calling out a nazi.
Germany is the last country you can expect to stand up against nazis, precisely because they're so traumatized by their own past. It's also why I expect Germany to eventually fall under a nazi rule again some day. When you cannot talk about a danger, you cannot stop it.
Well said. I think the rest of the world has a pretty vested interest in the US not going completely off the rails, even if we don't deserve the help after all the imperialist bullshit.
For anyone in France, we might need some help
Probably shouldn’t have made all those white flag jokes huh?
Grandfather fought in WWII and had nothing but kind words for the people of France. Never could understand the fuckery of those jokes, which is probably for the better.
That was just the stupid Americans... nevermind. We deserve that.
No, but all the conservative evangelical "but suffering brings us closer to God" waste of space type people that want to live in the 1940s sure are having a hell of a hurrah though.
No.
No, but if we could hang on for another year or so while I prepare to move that'd be great.
Help
Lol...no.
SoS
No
They’re fine with it. Best they can do is a little protest on a weekend if the weather’s nice, if they have the proper permits, and they don’t have to miss work.
They’re absolutely fucked, and absolutely complicit. Bunch of abject cowards.
Stupid question.
Well, you can only trust things you read online so much, it’s always nice to hear from real people.
Didn't mean to be a dick (~narator: he did), but I mean, it's obvious.
If it's somehow eluding people though, that'd be what's fucked up.
