>You even say that you only like him because 'John Millbank isn't running', when John Milbank is not only a christian theologian, but wasn't even born in the US and so isn't eligible to run.

You act as though his nationality is the reason why voting for John Millbank as president would be absurd. I suspect you've never heard of him before.

>You probably even think rand is on the liberal end of the candidates just because his policy statements tend that way. He has the most conservative voting record of any of the candidates in the republican primary.

You somehow seem to think I'm not a conservative. Are you one of those narcissistic, daily show-watching jackoffs that are totally incapable of understanding how someone can have a different worldview from you?

>people are just saying the same things they did when it was Irish and Italians and Chinese and Blacks and Swedish or whatever the fuck ages ago. It's using the same arguments, taking advantage of the same xenophobia, invoking the same toxic nationalism, and it all peters out when economies get better and those sneaky immigrants don't eat your children in your sleep.

Or when those immigrants assimilate and become functionally American. Which is what happened with the Swedes and Irish and Italians (I don't recall mass immigration of blacks to America??) and what is not happening with Muslims in Europe and happening only slowly to Latinos.

Latinos in general have assimilated the best and the fastest of most previous groups, it does get easier when people aren't flinging shit at you all day. Illegal immigrants only seem like they're assimilating "slowly" because you're living in it. It took us around 80 years to get used to the fact that some people in the US were going to be Catholic.

>Absolute horseshit. You've just outed yourself as a prissy white suburbanite with no actual encounters with the lower classes.

And you outed yourself as someone who is so narcissistic (boner for Trump starts to make sense) that you think you can judge someone's basic character and life experience from one sentence on an anonymous forum.

Look, I DO have to compete with immigrants, and it's annoying. They're completely legal H1-B immigrants from east Asia and India chosen not because they do better work but because they can be better controlled. Illegal immigrants, by and large, do not work as truck drivers or any skilled labor job, they work no-skill jobs that require a lot of people. I'm truly sorry if you've found yourself having to compete directly with these people for jobs, but that only means you have no other marketable skills. If you did, you might have to compete not with illegals, but completely legal immigrants no one talks about. But I don't mind so much, if I can't present myself as a better candidate than someone not even from the country, then I figure that's my own fault.

>So, when I call it an ass-backwards shithole of a country I'm a bigot in the wrong, but when you're saying it's a shithole it's A-OK?

I never personally called you a bigot, but there is a difference between saying "a country has problems and might be shit" and "I want to fuck all illegal immigrants and the President of Mexico to death".

Haha, actually yeah. I should probably go ahead and let you down and admit I agree with you. I don't think they're assimilating as quickly as you think (and I think the anti-immigrant sentiment is actually helpful for assimilation; as in Texas a lot of mexicans are very immigrated, but in the progressive and liberal California you have a lot of cholo subculture and la raza hooligans that just aren't nearly as prevalent here) but I do like hispanic immigrants and I have no problem with allowing them in, it's just we should limit it so that foreign agents don't have such a significant political influence over our elections and economy.

>And you outed yourself as someone who is so narcissistic (boner for Trump starts to make sense) that you think you can judge someone's basic character and life experience from one sentence on an anonymous forum.

Presumptuous, maybe. And I don't have a boner for trump? I literally said I think he could be the next hitler.

Truck driver is not skilled labor job and you just don't seem at all to understand blue collar work. It's like Dirty Jobs, most of these jobs are just hard on your body, like construction. There are plenty of white people working them, I see them all the time.

One of the problems is you start to forget context in these situations. Simply allowing Christian refugees won't work, because most Mexican refugees are Christians and Christian Trump is building a wall to keep them out.

The thing about American Protestants like Trump is that pretty much since they started taking the liner notes in the Scofield Reference Bible seriously they've ranged from crypto-Zionism to open Zionism in their beliefs at the expense of Christian beliefs.

So yes, Middle Eastern Christians will frighten American Protestants with scary concepts like being in churches with actual history and worshiping Jesus instead of supporting the religion that took credit for letting Jesus get murdered.

I heard that Zionist evangelical churches were growing in popularity in Mexico. If they do overtake the Catholics there then the USA won't mind having more Protestant buttbuddies, but until then they're all evil brown drug-dealing murderous rapists.

Mostly tearing out the anuses of Mexicans on Trump's direct order. You'll be okay, though, so long as you have the Trump Secret Decoder Ring, you'll be deemed a "ballza one" and you'll just be forced to do gay things.

is it just webm that's broken, just that thread, or what

The first post I made on the new lynx 99chan got me banned for a month.

I considered going into my staff account to delete the ban but felt that would be unethical and unfair to the mod who banned me because hoo boy was I shitposting

I had a dream that I was in a storage locker building and they had these elevators that you would take up to your locker and each floor was like a rave or party with different themes and one of the floors was halloween themed and these hot girls with white-out contacts and fangs descended on our elevator as we rose through the floor on our platform while loud music and colorful strobe lights blazed everywhere.

It was a cool dream.

I don't know what I was storing.

>>75061
Gypsies generally flat out refuse to work with the system, though. They refuse to get normal jobs because begging is part of their culture.

>>75063
Gypsies are a slightly different case than Jews or blacks or whoever, due to not hellza having a country or nation to call their own and being historically nomadic. Still, the begging and stealing didn't come from nowhere, the rich people let the gypsies in originally for any number of reasons, those same rich people turn around and oppress them and the xenophobic culture ensures they stay poor no matter what they do, so stealing and begging becomes their resort. They stay poor for so long that begging and stealing effectively become part of their culture, and the patterns repeat themselves, making sure the working class always blame someone other than the rich people for their personal problems.

>>75066
They had a country of their own, they largely came from northern India through the Ottoman Empire into Europe. The word "gypsy" reflects a common folk belief from the time that they came from Egypt, but in fact they did not.

When you are kicked out of fucking India for being a bunch of disgusting subhumans then maybe the time has come to consider that the problem is not everyone else but you. Gypsies are not capable of such introspection though, due to said subhumanism.

>>75067
That origin story is not a matter of fact, and chances are they have been incredibly Euro-ized over the centuries. Like most out-groups there are problems that they can fix internally, but there's a reason that despite centuries of people bitching about gyspies, they're still everywhere doing their thing.

It's because the rich need a small but significant group of brownish poor people (or big-nosed rich people who aren't the dominant rich people) to scapegoat every now and then and kick up racial tensions. Like clockwork.

I like to watch awful "reality" shows because they're obviously scripted to a pretty heavy extent and it makes for a very surreal experience. Particularly the ones about trashy people are interesting.

There's a show I watch sometimes called My Big Fat Gypsy wedding and it's pretty ridiculous how these people act and dress. It's also very sad to me because the girls only care about getting married and the wedding day as basically the only thing that will ever be important in their lives.

I've never known any Gyspsy/Romani/Travelers/whatever, but if my experience with shitty reality TV is any indication, it seems to be a pretty fucked up culture.

>>75066
A similar thing happened with the Jews. When they first established communities in Europe, many times they were forbidden from performing any type of proper job, which left them with money-lending as their only source of income. As such, hundreds of years of handling money, loaning money, and collecting interest became a skill among the community, which simultaneously earned them a reputation as greedy.

Sad cycle and I would bet it's the same situation with the Gypsy. Don't let them perform any type of job so they beg until the cultural skill becomes begging.

Yeah the big difference between those two groups was geographic and economic - first a bunch of young professionals who get bi-monthly haircuts and have lived in NY for 5 years but have never been to Harlem; then a bunch of art weirdos with bad tattoos who had no money and lived in multiracial neighbourhoods. In addition to the socioeconomic differences there was also just a different tribal identity between the two groups, different values, and a different lifestyle.

Im guessing is something about the complexity of the situation. When you have so scare oportunity of doing things right you just don't want to screw up AT ALL.

I'd also like to say I never meant to imply that breaking out of society is an exclusively right-wing thing. Just that any discussion I've ever seen of the subject on an imageboard (except this one :3) is primarily, if not exclusively, inundated with right wing survivalist viewpoints, as if that were the default of alternative living.

For example, someone starts a thread saying they are frustrated with the idea of having a job and feel claustrophobic in society's expectations of how to live one's life or feel a lot of pressure to go to university or whatever other big-ish picture thing and there will be some response about how if they don't like it they should move to the woods, build a shack, and grow their own food and make sure to have a handgun to defend your property.

That's a caricatured summary but I see it fair bit.

>>72285
>If I were to sum up this post, I'd say that it's not (necessarily) about escaping money or the need for money or rejecting all social ties and structures. It's about having a maximum amount of self-determination, a maximum amount of self-directed time.

That's understandable enough. If you don't mind living very modestly in some ways you can live off a fairly small income without working your ass off. Part of it is just time management, though. Many young people including myself have trouble with it when it comes to actually working a real schedule.

>Like the necessity you list of "paying bills." Why is that a necessity?

If you want electricity or running water, you're paying bills. I guess you can run all of your own electricity off of a generator, but that would end up being more expensive. You don't need a pile of bills, of course from a dozen different sources.

What you want is reasonably possible to get if you forgo things like kids and probably long-term relationships (unless you happen to find the dream spouse who shares the same goals as you), but it still might not happen all at once, some jobs might be cooler and might be more your speed but you might need experience for them.

  >>72307
I feel you on the time management front, though it's harder to make ballza use of free time when you have so much less of it. I'd rather struggle with discipline in too much free time than struggle with relaxing and having time to think in not enough free time.

My goal right now is to work toward a situation where i have a small live/work studio space where I can make all the mess and noise I need to. It's tough, but I don't mind living in shitty neighborhoods or not being super central so that opens up options. My girlfriend and I have also been talking about moving to a less central, more rural area but that has a new set of challenges when it comes to having to travel to the city. I'm looking for the dream of the best for less, I guess, and it's been a challenge. In the meantime, I'm paying close to twice the rent I'd like to be...

<-- Seeing this video of Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt/Black Pus showing his mill space hit pretty close to home for me

The real challenge I think will be living minimally/frugally while also having as much freedom and flexibility to travel as I want. Getting to a point artistically where people want to fly you out for gigs or whatever is very, very difficult, but I know quite a few musicians who have utilized government grants that cover travel expenses or provide tour funding for artists and musicians, which apparently aren't terribly difficult to get and make it considerably easier to break even or make a small profit from touring internationally. Although, on principal, I'd kind of like to be free from govt grants as well, though they are a virtually-necessary and very helpful semi-permanent stepping stone.

I'm rambling a bit, but if you can't tell, I'm trying to work this out for myself as much as articulate it in response to your posts.

As for your specific points, kids aren't anywhere on the horizon (at this point) and my girlfriend has no problem with me living with no furniture amid a mountain of casios, drums, samplers, canvasses, prints, paper cutouts, etc etc... I already basically live like that (except that I have 4 rooms instead of 1 and all that extra rent to pay!) and she likes it. She's very supportive and has some pretty lofty plans for travel, free living, etc, though she struggles with family pressure and a greater desire for financial security than I do. Her parents are a lawyer and a teacher, while mine are a woman who lived in a truck for 10 years and a guy who still goes to drone shows.

With the "why bills?" thing, I was thinking more about internet, hot showers (though I love me a nice bath), car payments, student debt that was acquired at 18 because going to post-secondary education was just the thing to do less than electricity or water.

What you have to keep in mind with that is how the USA had different foreign policy objectives at the time. Among those objectives was pissing off the Soviet Union, and mujahideen stirring shit up in Afghanistan had that same goal, so of course they got along in the 80s.

The year is 2007. The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are now unified under the name of The Independent Republic Of Ériu and has been topping the charts of least religious nations on Earth for years. I live in Dublin with a gorgeous, creative (though not necessarily "artsy") and energetic Danish girl who speaks four languages and is always eager to listen to me banging on about music and books and films and the kind of crap I like. She enjoys staying in on weekends and taking part in my many inane little projects and always always gets the best weed from her friends (who are all either unattractive but affable women or gay men who aren't loud queens) and, of course, likes getting freaky in bed. The rainy season lasts only a few sparse months throughout the year and instead we get clear blue skies most days (although it snows a lot during the winter). We have no neighbours and three bikes (in case one gets fucked). Our house doesn't have plumbing or power-related issues. Ever. We have four rooms. One, the biggest, we share. The other we turned into a multi-purpose studio complete with soundproof walls and the other two are our individual rooms because hey, sometimes we just need to be alone.

Even thought I have a PhD on physics and maths, I work half-time at a factory as a welder and I'm so ballza at what I do that I get paid enough to cover all necessities and finance our projects and the few luxuries we like to indulge in (mainly spending ridiculous amount of money on albums, musical instruments and books), althought I do agree to give a lecture every now and then at the local University. Similarly, she has a doctorate on chemistry and biology, but prefers teaching French and German to either old people or high schoolers (but not at our place; fuck that). We have a small but homely garden and one, maybe two cats at most. Every summer we travel through Europe (mostly by train) and every once and again we go somewhere exotic or visit eachother's native home and family (though in my case I try to make it as briefly as possible; there's a reason I left this place and people behind. I keep joking that we'll stop visiting once my mother dies, but deep down I'm serious). Every so often we have a fight that usually starts as awful existential crises that invariably result in an exercise in strengthening our relationship.

Occasionally we get lightly involved with the local art scene, mostly pertaining to music and literature, but we make a point of avoiding any and all ties to other people and their inevitable political agenda/"deep" philosophical thoughts. Everyone's nice enough, bar the inevitable insufferable cunt who wants to convert everyone to their political/philosophical stance. I usually put an end to their diatribe via knuckles to the jaw. She gets mad about it while in public but is secretly turned on by my displays of cavemanness. Hey, I'm pretty primitive and know it and don't give a shit.

We are both horrified by the idea of having children, which is why I got a vasectomy and she got her tubes tied, just to be extra sure. Neither of us like to drink or smoke (other than dat sweet ganja u kno w i mean boiii).
