If you remember the 'notorious' jewish White supremacist hacker and tech guy for the daily stormer, known as Weev, he spent time there while on the run. He was posting to his (now banned) youtube channel at the time.

Cool. I bet Weev felt right at home with the Lenin statues everywhere.

We mainly just chatted about the dates he was getting at a market there, and which kinds are best. He did a few videos about the food, but was pretty low key about real stuff.

Am probably on all kinds of lists now. Especially after adding him on Steam. Have never interacted with anyone there, but now that I think about it, 2/3 of my contacts are kind of 'hacker troll/terrorists'. You're probably on a list now too.

whoa that's nuts man. I'm cool with being on your list. Maybe you're on my list.

So is weev an unironic nazi jew, or is he up to no good and perverting white nationalist movements? Just a tech guy who found himself infamous?

Andrew Alan Escher Auernheimer, best known by his pseudonym weev, is an American computer hacker and self-avowed Internet troll. Affiliated with the alt-right, the Southern Poverty Law Center has described him as being a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, and antisemitic conspiracy theorist. Wikipedia

Your guess is as good as mine. What there's no doubt about is that he's quite a character. Ha, what I just noticed is he was born in the same place as the other guy on my list. That's a little odd.

Anyway, don't want to get too close or involved in any gay ops that might suck me back in. The FBI was pretty unhappy with him for awhile, and he spent some time in jail prison.

My agent probably just snorted when he read that. But thanks, I'll be here for awhile.

Based.

Sorry for the formatting but I am lazy.

Under the present conditions in the Russian Federation, the Communist Party believes it is necessary to:

*Stop the extinction of the country, restore benefits for large families, reconstruct the network of public kindergartens and provide housing for young families.
*Nationalize natural resources in Russia and the strategic sectors of the economy; revenues in these industries are to be used in the interests of all citizens.

*Create a truly independent judiciary.
*Carry out an immediate package of measures to combat poverty and introduce price controls on essential goods.
*Not raise the retirement age.
*Restore government responsibility for housing and utilities, establish fees for municipal services in an amount not more than 10% of family income, stop the eviction of people to the streets, expand public housing.
*Increase funding for science and scientists to provide decent wages and all the necessary research.

Man, it sucks how you guys have to view stuff through a political lens 24/7.

I honestly just thought this video was cute & funny with the haircuts and track suits (their camo didn't work for those who didn't watch), and the "babushka" thing reminded me of my grandma lol. She came here, to escape communism lol.

My friend from Belarus did the same, and now she's dismayed that California might go full Communist.

Same, my mother was born in Romania, I'm first generation American. She came here at around 12/13, was very patriotic and loved America too, growing up in the city during the late 70's and 80's, and wouldn't believe in "conspiracy theories" and had faith in our system.

I told my mom about a pandemic coming in the middle of December of 2019 when word started spreading through the underground areas of the internet, and she didn't believe me and thought I was crazy until it became mainstream; she is truly freaked out now and says she sees no difference between the country she fled, and this "new America" which terrifies her.

The snitching on your neighbors digitally or via phone (which was big in my state) for get togethers or parties to report them was the straw that broke the camel's back for her metaphorically. She said it brought back flashbacks to when she was 4 and my grandfather had just got his paycheck so he went to the butcher to buy extra meat (they had their own animals as well, mostly chickens), and went into the basement to put it in their freezer chest. Their neighbor saw him doing this, and went up to my mom (when she was 4 and playing in her front yard) and asked her if her parents have money in the basement.

My mom being 3/4 didn't know what "money" was, so she responded "oh yes, of course they do! yes, they have lots of it!" (she literally had no idea what she was saying or talking about). Literally the next morning the communist police were at their door and searched the basement & house for gold and other contraband. She said she was too young to understand what was going on, but felt it wasn't good and was scared. Her parents had a long talk w/ her after that about talking to people in public and watching what you say.

I've posted this link a few times, so sorry if you've seen it before. But otherwise, give it a watch before showing it to your mom. It all started way back, before any of us or our parents were born. It won't make her happy, but it may help to know (this version of) how our current reality came to be.

Sorry man, we do do that. My first comment idea was "who is cutting all of the onions in here" because yeah the basushka grandma and the church lady were both epic humanity and very emotional.
