If the government wanted to kill thousands of people including me, they could do so right now.
No, the government elected by the chilean people didnt do that, the dictatorship installed with the help of the US did. So you are ok with a foreign government helping install a dictatorship on your own country and killing your family? Good, but be aware that not everyone is a psycho like you.
With the way Western countries are headed, democracy might as well be useless.
Ok so i hope you're not a hypocrite and stop voting right away or are you a hypocrite? Oh so you recently voted? So you're a hypocrite then. Well not really surprised.

Who said I'm ok? You deliberately left out a huge chunk of my post which advocates for self defense and not putting absolute faith in the government.

And yes, governments can kill its own people, even elected ones. Have you not heard of Anwar al-Awlaki? Or the Waco Siege?

What does this have to do with hypocrisy?
I don't believe democracy is an absolute thing for prosperity. South Africa is a democracy, doesn't mean I want to live there. Especially when any other vote except for the ruling ANC party has not mattered for the past 20 years.

You said foreign Intervention like the US has done in countries like Chile wouldnt affect your life so you're basically saying that if what happened to thousands of chileans happened to you it wouldnt change your life. If you didnt mean that then use your brain before writing nonsense.


What does this have to do with hypocrisy
Because you're ok with foreign governments deciding for citizens of other countries. You cant be in favor of democracy and, at the same time, support foreign governments to violate the Sovereignity of countries and install dictatorships. Being in favor of both at the same time is the definition of a hypocrite which you clearly are.

I don't live my life believing the government has its best interests out for me.

If a police officer suddenly points his gun at you with an intention to kill you, are you going to let him do it because he's technically part of an elected government? If you answer no, then you understand why a dictatorship (or lack of) doesn't matter to me.

Peak Entitlement: The thread

reading how many of these shitkickers just ghost their employer, especially the ones working in a call centre, make me sick. I worked 2 years straight in a call centre, being abused every day. Sucked it up, walked back in the next day.

Now, I sit in a cushy job where I put in approx 25 hours a week, working on my own time to my own deadlines. but I guess I only got this job cause I’m white huh?

Oh but you're ok with foreign governments installing dictatorships in your country and killing your family so your best interests are those of a psychopath. I don't think many people would have the best interests of a psychopath as high standards.


I never said citizens can't resist.
But you said your life wouldnt be affected so that means you wouldnt resist and voting makes absolutely no difference for you. Apparently your life right now and under a murderous dictatorship sponsored by a foreign government will be exactly the same so you're either a moron or a psycho if you think that. Choose one.

LOL.

If I don't trust any government, why would I refuse to defend myself under a tyrannical state? Your logic falls completely short.
I don't love the government. I rather trust the people closer to me than someone who was elected into office. That does not change under any situation.

Apparently your life right now and under a murderous dictatorship sponsored by a foreign government will be exactly the same so you're either a moron or a psycho if you think that.
I choose not to be a victim 24/7. I rather focus on accomplishing goals in life then caring whether or not the current government is hostile.

You believe that.
Yes i do believe you're a moron who doesn't think much before posting. It's like your brain is in permanent shortcircuit and you keep getting stuck trying to disentangle the mess you make. Before defending that other countries should be allowed to violate the sovereignity of other countries by force or any other means try to use your brain and really think about the consequences of that. Because it seems you're not too smart to realize what you're saying like this exchange and your several contradictions clearly show.

There is no contradiction because self defense is not limited to dictatorships, which is what I was replying to when I said I support citizens resisting.

I got a temp position in a call center, the only job I've ever been fired from, I lasted just over a week and a half. I was joking around with two girls that worked there and this one old woman that was a call center lifer "Got offended" when listening into our conversation. The manager came over to me and asked what I said and I started to bullshit my way though it but part way through I realized I hated that job and why was I bothering trying to keep it? So I just admitted to whatever that old lady had made up.

I got blacklisted by the employment agency that had placed me there because they were told by the manager that I was not making any calls, which was bullshit. In fact that was the same reason they gave for firing they guy that had that temp position before me.

I just walked across the road and signed up with another agency with the stipulation no call centre work. years later I was the company liaison with out outsourced customer service call centre. I made sure I helped those guys as much as I could as I know how shit that job is.

This is a fallacy.

"If you post on the internet, your life can never be at stake".

What's funny is there are actual hate speech laws in "democratic" countries that completely go against this.

You clearly are too stupid to imagine how life under an oppressive dictatorship is if you think your life in democratic Canada right now and under such a tyrannical dictatorship would be exactly the same. In fact this is one of the most retarded things i've ever read on the internet and that's quite an achievement, so congratulations for setting up the bar so high (or better say low).

But the fact that you said above and i quote

Like I pointed out in my South Africa post, you can still be a democracy and life in general could still be awful and your vote for the non-ruling party would be useless.

I don't worship the government so I treat both scenarios as the same. Especially if you missed my edit where I even mentioned Canada does arrest people for espousing wrong or "hateful" views.

But the fact that you said above and i quote

No, it means the two cancel each other out, because my life can still be affected without the actual government being a tyranny.

No hypocrisy, no contradiction.

We're not talking about South Africa here. You're saying you're ok with foreign governments violating the sovereignity of a country, making a joke of democracy and installing murdering dictatorships. Then you're saying that if that happened in your country your life wouldnt be affected at all. The focus in this discussion is how retarded what you're saying is, not South Africa, so stop trying to derail the subject to South Africa and explain how is this retarded reasoning possible in a mentally healthy person?

So again, use your damn brain before you write nonsense and make a fool out of yourself.

Your life would definitely change under a tyrannical dictatorship in comparison to your life now under a democracy. Again, if this simple fact is impossible for you to imagine it's because you're basically a moron.

I'm sorry but im not the one here saying life under a democratic government and under a tyrannic dictatorship is exactly the same (and then saying it's also not the same since it would affect me). Clearly the mentally challenged here is you.

People blame America for interfeering with the sovereignity of other countries, you nitpicking success stories and ignoring others doesn't change anything. If some people are sick of others blaming the US for meddling in other countries affairs then stop fucking meddling in other countries affairs! How fucking hard is that?

You or others crying about this is equivalent of me taking a dump in your room every night and when you come complaining that im shitting in your room i tell you to stop being a whining pussy, that some people like shit in their room so stop whining and get out of my way cause i need to shit again there.

Even best about this is that you dumbass claim to not trust any government and yet you trust the US government meddling with other governments. Again, your contradictory brain processes border retardation.

If it wasn't the U.S, it would have been someone else. And there was someone else. The USSR was also globally interfering with other nations too.

All in all, it doesn't matter. Countries have managed to pick themselves up. For others, they'll cry victimization.

I don't believe any government has its best interests for its citizens, so my life wouldn't change.

And with that blatant contradiction which is the foundation of all of his arguments i leave this thread to resume reeeeing.

My biggest fucking gripe about Death Stranding is that it's built on Horizon's engine. There's is so much good progressive shit in that game and Kojima rips that out and puts this soulless fucking misogynistic grey and brown fucking thing onto that sexy ass passion project of a game and now everybody will think Kojima's fuckups are because of the game engine and forget that an excellent game was built on the very same engine in 2017. Dude could've copy pasta'd some stuff onto that same engine and it would be a lot better than what he made. Horizon was so alive and fun and Aloy was such a fun and quirky character. Sam is fine, but he's not Aloy, it's just...ugh.

One of the things I wonder about these "sexualised character design" threads is if these guys look at, for example, the 2 NSFW threads on the off-topic here and think "look at these unrealistic women".

Or if they go out to a nightclub on a Saturday and think "look at all those awful character designs at the bar and on the dance floor".

Moaning about hot women and the popularity of hot women is just a total waste of time.
It HAS to be stressful to fight so hard against your own biological impulses.
ResetEra - a bunch of straight white dudes sitting around pretending that they don't like hot women.

OK, maybe if your wife is within earshot you don't make comments about some hot broad on TV. That's fine.
Maybe you even pretend to the girl that you want to bang that actually you'd rather have her than the 10 out of 10 hottie presenting the weather.
Among yourselves, anonymously, on the Internet though? What's the point?
 
i've been banned from Era 12 times since 2017 by being a junior member who took a neutral standpoint in a political thread without clarifying which side I was on. So you have to AGREEEEEEEEE with REEEEEE or you are automatically Somme kind of nazi or sympathizer.
