• An appeal

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Sun Jan 7 16:08:13 2024
    An appeal to the four Useful Idiots, that now produce 98% of all messages here:

    Is it possible to convince you to limit yourselves to only reply to someone else but your three sycophants?

    Surely you must understand, that all four of you have been twitted a long time ago. Only the hardcore free speech believer BBS sysops let your crap get passed.

    I myself, as one of those, am on the verge of activating my twit filter unless you wake up to reality, and understand that you actually *are* just Useful Idiots, and you contribute absolutely nothing to the POLITICS echo, where once upon a time, the entire world could discuss *international* politics.

    Who's stopping you from posting about international politics? Personally, I only care about my own country.

    How much have you donated to Ukraine? You know that if you don't donate, then that means you don't care ;)

    Hello Aaron,

    I myself, as one of those, am on the verge of activating my twit
    filter unless you wake up to reality, and understand that you actually
    *are* just Useful Idiots, and you contribute absolutely nothing to the
    POLITICS echo, where once upon a time, the entire world could discuss
    *international* politics.

    Who's stopping you from posting about international politics? Personally, I
    only care about my own country.

    How xenophobic. It's okay for Russia to invade Ukraine (and other
    countries) as long as it does not invade us. It's okay for China to
    invade Taiwan (and other countries/places) as long as it does not
    invade us. It's okay for North Korea to invade South Korea (and
    other places) as long as it does not invade us. It's okay for other
    countries to do as they please (as long as they do nothing to harm
    the USA).

    How much have you donated to Ukraine?

    Other countries (including Sweden) have donated almost twice as
    much in military and economic aid to Ukraine than the USA. And in
    addition, Sweden has applied for membership in NATO, and may have
    been accepted as a member thereof.

    You know that if you don't donate, then that means you don't care ;)

    Most members of Congress care, as well as the POTUS.
    The USA has donated much in military and economic assistance
    to Ukraine, and plans to send much more.

    So the question is, why do you hate freedom and democracy?
    Why do you love Putin and his brand of authoritarianism?
    We all know what he did in Ukraine, and his plans for the
    future.

    You want to worship a real Nazi?
    Donald Trump is looking right at you.

    For Life,
    Lee

    I thought you were moving to Russia in order to volunteer your
    services to Mad Vlad in order to fight Nazis in Ukraine.

    In which case rather than place you in his twit filter Björn will
    have to write an obituary in the Fidonews on your behalf ...

    Hello Björn,

    An appeal to the four Useful Idiots, that now produce 98% of all messages here:

    Is it possible to convince you to limit yourselves to only reply to someone
    else but your three sycophants?

    You do not understand.
    This is *not* a "free speech" echo.
    Never was.
    Never will be.
    It is in the rulz.
    As listed below.

    Surely you must understand, that all four of you have been twitted a long time ago. Only the hardcore free speech believer BBS sysops let your crap get passed.

    One of the four Useful Idiots twits users of his own board, thus
    pre-empting hardcore free speech believer BBS sysops from viewing
    posts made by other free speech believers.

    I myself, as one of those, am on the verge of activating my twit filter unless you wake up to reality, and understand that you actually *are* just Useful Idiots, and you contribute absolutely nothing to the POLITICS echo, where once upon a time, the entire world could discuss *international* politics.

    One of the four Useful Idiots has posted a set of rulz. And this
    Useful Idiot has made it quite clear what this echo is, and is all
    about -

    POLITICS is for the discussion and debate of topical political MP>discussions, primarily involving an American point of view.

    See there? Politics, from an American point of view.
    You are Swedish, so you would not understand.

    Due to the nature of these discussions, emotions can and will
    run high.

    Translation: We love our guns.

    The following policies are in place to keep the peace in here as
    best as possible. Your participating in this echo implies implicit MP<agreement to abiding by these policies.

    Der Fuhrer speaks for ALL! Sieg Heil!

    # Real names are required to be used in this echo. No aliases. If
    your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and MP>alias in the message header, sign your messages with your real name.

    I always use a real name when posting messages in this echo.
    Unscramble the letters and more real names can be revealed.

    # There is no such thing as "free speech" in this echo.

    You can speak your mind within reason but the moderator reserves
    the right to stop and immediately correct boorish behavior.

    The participants own this echo. Participants vote with their feet.
    Moderators are non-existent, as participants post whatever they want
    with no pre-screening.

    We're all adults; let's act like it.
    There are other political, "free speech" echos on Fidonet.

    Yeah. Right. The one in MP's own head.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Yea, it just don't matter to me. If Russia takes over Ukraine, and it will, it's not my fault, because I didn't vote for Biden. You voted for Biden, so you helped Putin more than I did.

    All I care about is my own country. The rest of the world can be ruled by the UN if they want to, but that's not the independence that America's founders fought for, and it's not the freedom that American veterans fought for.

    This is typical of the MAGA base, they are victims of the fastly degrading US educational system, where only GOP approved books and narratives are allowed. They don't know how to exercise critical thinking, they only accept what they are fed from sources they are told not to be fake.

    Normal people looks up to people that are smarter than they are. Those that look up to Trump reveal their true IQ, it's lower than his, and that's really, really low.

    addition, Sweden has applied for membership in NATO, and may have

    Ukrainian President Zelenskyy just left Sweden, having received
    a whole bunch of moolah from you and your people. And he did say
    thanks to you and all who did so, knowing true friends are there
    to help those who truly need their help ...

    You may remember when I tried to teach him a little of how it works in his own country, but he renounced it and proudly explained that he trusted one of the other Useful Idiots, more than what I tried to tell him.

    The French gave us a present, years ago. A statue called Lady
    Liberty. She was placed where all could see her, standing tall
    while holding a torch, and was a most beautiful sight to behold.
    But the French forgot to add words to tell the world what the
    meaning of it all was. So a poet decided to spell it out, in a
    poem made famous to the entire world.

    If only MAGA Republicans would listen.

    This is typical of the MAGA base, they are victims of the fastly degrading US educational system, where only GOP approved books and narratives are allowed. They don't know how to exercise critical thinking, they only accept what they are fed from sources they are told not to be fake.

    "MAGA Republicans have abandoned democracy." ~Joe Biden, 1/6/2024

    Normal people looks up to people that are smarter than they are. Those that
    look up to Trump reveal their true IQ, it's lower than his, and that's really, really low.

    Did Trump "engage" in "insurrection"?
    Or was it a rally that got out of control?

    Insurrection Day (January 6, 2001) was a designed political coup,
    and Donald Trump was the mastermind of the whole thing.

    That is it, in a nutshell.

    And now, today, on Tuesday, three justices of the USSC get to
    determine the fate of his campaign to become dictator of the USA.
    Is the POTUS above the law? The issue of presidential immunity
    is vital. Just think of what a POTUS who has been impeached can
    do. He can shoot all those who want to remove him from office
    and never have to pay for any of his crimes.

    Now think about what that would mean if a former POTUS is granted
    that same immunity as a lifetime right ...

    Trump did say he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away
    with it. And folks thought he was kidding.

    An appeal to the four Useful Idiots, that now produce 98% of all messages here:

    Imagine that. An all-male masturbation society. Live on Fidonet.

    Is it possible to convince you to limit yourselves to only reply to someone
    else but your three sycophants?

    If you remove Trump and the GOP for two weeks, just imagine the
    volume of stupidity you will miss. It will be so unreal that you
    will not know what to do with yourself. That is why every MAGA
    nutjob needs the support of other MAGA nutjob.

    Surely you must understand, that all four of you have been twitted a long time ago. Only the hardcore free speech believer BBS sysops let your crap get passed.

    MAGA nutjobs need each other. Even if their ringleader is nowhere
    to be found. That is why they are here. Waiting for his arrival.

    I myself, as one of those, am on the verge of activating my twit filter unless you wake up to reality, and understand that you actually *are* just Useful Idiots, and you contribute absolutely nothing to the POLITICS echo, where once upon a time, the entire world could discuss *international* politics.

    Politics is all about human relationships. Whether local, national,
    or international. And when it comes to women, Useful Idiots follow
    their ringleader, as well as his advice - grab 'em by the pussy ...

    For Life,
