Again a very likpatous story
You'd think that since the story is that MTG got swatted by Kiwifarms and that's why they got shut down, that Freep would consider them all a bunch of leftists trying to take out a great American.

But since KF hated trans people I suppose they just dismiss the MTG stuff as fake news and consider them brothers.

So a couple of things, one is that this might not have even actually happened. The second is that KF wasn't necessarily behind it. However, that was one of the early claims was that someone from KF did it, which is why the site started getting a lot of media attention and it started getting dropped by hosts.

MTG may have swatted herself, or not, but I don't think that's the real reason why Kiwifarms is getting shut down. The big reason why KF is getting shut down is actually Keffals, a transwoman who has been targeted by them for a long time, running a huge campaign against them.

The actual last straw was when she fled to Ireland to escape doxxing and KF found her again and started making bomb threats to a bunch of places in Belfast.

Oh I don't think it's necessarily the real reason either. But I do think that the initial claims people were making that KF swatted her are what got news outlets to pay attention to the site, and then they found the terrible poo poo that the site was definitely doing. Then that negative attention made Cloudflare and friends go "Oh it might look kind of bad now that we can't plausibly deny knowledge of it" and they dropped it.

MTG, whether she lied or not about being literally swatted, definitely had the cops show up to her door and the person who supposedly called it in to the cops cited KF as the people behind it. MTG then went on dozens of news and radio shows screaming about KF and the bullshit of 'swatting.'

Keffals is not the reason KF got shut down. She put forth an information campaign that got twitter users enlightened to what was going on. You can thank that loving goblin Marj Titan for getting the ball rolling on the arguably one good thing she's ever done in her worthless life.

The thing is that KiwiFarmers are the type of psychopath that falls into reactionary politics precisely because it gives them an excuse to go after people and don't really care about the ideology beyond that. They can absolutely go after someone on their "side", especially if it's a big target, because gathering scalps is the actual point.

She definitely didn't fake it. There's call logs and records of what happened. Apparently the cops just knocked on her door and asked if everything was OK. That being said, there is absolutely no shot that the cops didn't know who lived at that address before they got there; probably why they just knocked instead of bringing out the actual SWAT team.

So it happened, but Large Marge is *greatly* exaggerating what happened by purposefully using misleading verbiage to rile up the hogs, and in doing so, torpedoed KF.

Hi Dolly, thanks for the background info.

FB has become more and more strict against conservative groups and the recent comparisons to Biden/Hitler after his Hitlerain speech last week,(of course it was OK calling Trump Hitler and worse), and that I believe caused our FB forum ban. I didn't censor anything unless it broke FR rules which are the same as on the motherboard here.

I was told that Truth Social will soon be open to 'groups' which may be a good time to start up a FR page there if JimRob wants.

Nah, it's actually a proper German compound word. Scheisse (or rather Scheiße) is the noun for poo poo. Scheiss is either strongly dialectic, or the verb or adjective form. And "Fressen" is commonly used to signify messy, gross eating. And is way more common as an order.
"Friss Scheiße!" Would be a common way to say eat poo poo, or gently caress off.

And I can totally see some rear end in a top hat boys on a schoolyard calling someone a Scheißefresser, because that person has a smelly mouth, or because they are immature and once saw them eat chocolate.
Scheisseesser is just a deeply unpleasant word. For once, since it implies some manner of table manners and also because it has three double letters which just looks so weird.
Scheissfresser doesn't sound natural at all.

Before this is over, 95% of Americans will begin feeling the same about the so-called royal family as I do.

She is dead, I pray her soul is with the Lord, but I will worship at the feet of no man or woman just because she was a Queen.

I know an old lady who walked with Jesus for 80 years who died just recently. No one gave a crap, because she was a nobody. Well, this queen was a nobody to me. You worship and act like she was a goddess, not me.

As I said, as far as being another human made in the likeness of our Creator, I mourn her passing, but she was pro-abortion. How many abortions would have been stopped if she instead believed in life and used her position to fight to end abortions in England?

Besides being pro murder of the unborn, she also did a terrible job of raising her 4 children. They all turned out to be leftists.

OneVike gets substantial pushback from pretty much any comment they leave in their own thread

This exchange with noted racist shithead wardaddy is something else :catstare:. Sidenote: wardaddy's profile page is wild ride and involves the klan.

wardaddy posted:

I’ve seen the klan twice in my life....once in Tupelo in 1976 and once in Oxford a few years later...much ado about nothing to me....irrelevant since Rutherford B Hayes was elected and no longer any need to resist reconstruction ...the later klans were simply gangs of thugs who made us look like yahoos...they never had popular support again except maybe in the Midwest in the Wilson years.....me as a student there to heckle in red flannel shirt on left with my pal Phillip Scales of Scales and Scales law
Also ITT wardaddy talks about Tucker in practically every post so when he says heckling he was probably screaming "BE MORE RACIST :byodood:" at them. Anyway....

Africa for example

England did not rule with as heavy a hand as their contemporaries

Tell that to India and Pakistan. It took them 90 years to gain Independence.

After a few wars, they finally got freedom because WWII weakened England so much they knew they could not stop another try. Yet, because of their military and financial weakness after the war, they knew India would have kicked their rear end. So they acquiesced. Thus both India and Pakistan gained Independence.

I searched a bit for the origin of this quote but couldn't find this quote either, might have just been phrased differently but :effort: at doing any extensive research to disprove a freeper. Amusingly they get substantial pushback in the thread. Even if it's true you could read this supposed quote as propaganda in support of the Revolutionary War: The white landed gentry could keep all the money for themselves, thus no longer being a slave to the crown :smuggo:

quote:

To: OneVike

Always remember.

The kings of England refused the colonies repeated requests to end slavery.

“As long as the colonies are under the Crown, there will be slavery there.”

When the revolutionary war started, seven northern colonies wound up declaring slavery illegal and done.

Queen Elizabeth II was a devout Christian. In that, as in much else, she set a good example.

She even took heat for it. In 2000, her annual Christmas address mentioned that we shouldn’t forget what “2000” referred to - two millennia since the time of Christ. The liberal media howled in outrage that she had the audacity to state their fact. You see, we’re supposed to forget that our calendar is built around the Christian faith. Like saying “CE” instead of “AD” changes the fact we count our years from the birth of Jesus. The queen was bold enough to remind us of this fact

May she Rest In Peace and rose with Christ

Your forgot the “in-bred’ part. Anyone who agrees with ‘royalty’ can never be conservative. “Royalty” is simply an accident of birth. The entire “royal” family are simply in-bred welfare recipients.

“People who think like you do - who don’t recognize the importance of ideals and values and their enshrinement in traditions - are one of the reasons our own country is going to hell.”

I am going to give to you a short history lesson and I promise to make it as short as possible:

How much haughtiness and arrogance is required for a nation of people to put the word, “Great” in their name?

Most of the nations of the world hate the U.S.A. and Great Bitchin’. I’ll try to explain why that is:

01. ) We had to run them out of our country TWICE!

02. ) Then, if that wasn’t enough, we had to bail them out TWICE!

03. ) Then we had to bail them out of the Falklands.

There have been diplomatic and political blunders throughout history but THE biggest blunder of all time is when we STILL agreed to be chummy with them.

04. ) They have been run out of almost every country in Africa.

05. ) They have been run out of China.

06. ) They have been run out of the Middle East thanks to T. E. Lawrence and his blunder/s in Iraq.

07. ) They have been run out of India.

08. ) They have been run out of most countries in Southeast Asia.

They are STILL trying to tell us how to run our country!

Among other things. they are the reasons why most of the rest of the world hate Great Bitchin’ and because we are so chummy with them that is why they hate us.

If we were to cut all ties with Great Bitchin’ and while it would take some time, the rest of the world would soften their hatred of us and eventually come to like us.

Ideals, values, and traditions are in the heart, not in Great Bitchin’.

Are you aware that they still refer to us as ‘defiant colonists,’ and still look down their noses at us?

I do not think that you have ever traveled to Europe. If you had then you would have adopted my attitude, also. I can assure you that they are THE most haughty, arrogant peoples on the planet.

As an aside which is totally unrelated to all of the above, every time I hear some subject of Great Bitchin’ say, “Across the pond,” I would like to wring his neck. ;-)

If all or some of the above does not sway you then you may be delusional or simply do not want to wake up to the truth.

I’m an avid Trump supporter, but I’ve seen more ‘hero worship’ of Trump here than I’ve ever seen of the Queen.

Imagine if he were to die. Nearly the entire population of FR would go into similar mourning.

A I commented to Berlin, I agree.

I worry if he is assassinated many may commit suicide.

It is unhealthy when humans put other humans on a pedestal so high they are worshiping them.

They do not have to use the phrase, “You are a god”, to be doing so. Just act like a kid does towards a hero and it is worship.

This is what I see from Americans and some creepers today over the Queen.

And yes I see it with some Creepers over Trump.

I am an equal opportunity offender. I see what is wrong and point it out, regardless of who I offend, because the truth hurts, but sometimes the truth must be spoken,.

The events of Jan 6th I think that answers this question:

quote:

To: David Chase
The wealthy are hated by elements of the Right, but in very quiet ways.

I believe what many on the right hate are wealthy oligarchs in the U.S. and oligarchs around the world - who hold disproportionate influence on our republic's institutions - the foremost being our government.

Our courts are partly to blame for allowing oligarchs and corporations such power via the courts equating citizens and corporations under the law.

The question Conservatives need to ask themselves is should immensely rich people and corporations hold far greater influence over our elections, our government and our institutions - as compared to the average citizen?
