23:31 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I was reading about the Trabant.

23:31 IsambardPrince; It sounds like a car the Communists would make.

23:31 IsambardPrince; Technically a car, but really more of a lawnmower with interior seating.

23:32 IsambardPrince; 21 seconds to get to 62 miles per hour, which is the top speed.

23:32 IsambardPrince; You weren't going anywhere fast.

23:32 MinceR; alleged car

23:32 MinceR; it's what the communists wanted their slaves to have access to

23:32 IsambardPrince; MinceR, They made basically the same car in 1990 as they did in 1958.

23:32 IsambardPrince; And the engine was outdated for 1958.

23:33 IsambardPrince; It says in West Germany, they were already moving to four stroke engines, but economic troubles and material shortages forced East Germans to use an outdated but cheaper engine.

23:34 IsambardPrince; By 1990, East Germany was bankrupt, but there was never any era of economic prosperity, even when the Soviets were sending them subsidies.

23:34 IsambardPrince; The reunification was basically a forced marriage.

23:35 IsambardPrince; East Germany didn't have much of a choice.

23:35 MinceR; this is coming to communist china eventually as winnie the pooh micromanages more and more of the economy

23:35 MinceR; he believes himself to be smarter than everybody else

23:35 IsambardPrince; West Germany could either bail them out or have a failed Communist state next door with a lot of military hardware.

23:35 MinceR; and as the west capitulates to communist china, it's coming everywhere

23:36 IsambardPrince; East Germany could have technically continued to exist, but it would have basically turned into something more like North Korea.

23:36 IsambardPrince; From "poor by German standards" to "starving".

23:37 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Communism is a Planned Economy.

23:37 IsambardPrince; They plan to have the economy fail and then be frozen in time.

23:37 MinceR; :>

23:39 TR Bot; Russia Treating North Korean Troops as Expendable

23:39 IsambardPrince; They treat Russians as expendable.

23:39 IsambardPrince; They treat the North Koreans even worse than that.

23:40 IsambardPrince; Ukraine has captured some North Korean POWs.

23:40 IsambardPrince; Those are the lucky ones.

23:40 IsambardPrince; They'll probably be offered a chance to go to South Korea.

23:41 IsambardPrince; Getting shot and captured by Ukraine is like winning the lottery vs. living under Communism.

23:41 IsambardPrince; I'm happy that the gay North Korean man who escaped could eventually become a US citizen and live in Washington State.

23:42 IsambardPrince; That he didn't have to continue living under a Communist country that wasn't even feeding him, but expected him to live in an arranged marriage and make children to be enslaved by the gangsters who run the country.

23:43 IsambardPrince; Being gay isn't even illegal in North Korea, because when it's a Communist country you can just be punished even if there's no law against what you've done.

23:43 MinceR; 29 004157 < IsambardPrince> I'm happy that the gay North Korean man who escaped could eventually become a US citizen and live in Washington State.

23:43 IsambardPrince; We're over here arguing if biological men can be in the little girl's bathroom.

23:43 MinceR; this story will become less happy once cheeto hitler sells the USA out to communist china

23:43 IsambardPrince; Try being a tranny in China or North Korea.

23:43 IsambardPrince; See if that's the extent of the problems.

23:44 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Most gay people don't like trannies.

23:44 IsambardPrince; We joke in private about them.

23:45 IsambardPrince; But all of the "organizations" now say "LGBT", but that's like saying Al Sharpton is the "leader of the blacks".

23:45 IsambardPrince; I mean, did all black people take a vote and say this guy could open his fucking mouth and speak for them?

23:45 IsambardPrince; That's sort of how I feel about the LGBT groups.

23:46 IsambardPrince; They don't speak for me and we never had an election where I was given a slate of proposed "leaders".

23:46 IsambardPrince; Or a referendum on whether I wanted the "gay rights movement" to let in trannies.

23:46 IsambardPrince; We never had a vote on this.

23:46 IsambardPrince; There's no consensus.

23:47 MinceR; the "rights for me, nothing for anyone else" movement is far more popular, that's for sure

23:47 IsambardPrince; I'll just say it. Had there been a vote, I would have said hell no, and these "LGBT" groups are all corporate backed astroturfers.

23:50 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I'm neutral on the whole Israeli-Palestinian thing.

23:50 *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights

23:50 IsambardPrince; I don't think that the US should take sides.

23:50 IsambardPrince; We shouldn't support aide for "Palestine" or arms sales and money for Israel.

23:50 IsambardPrince; It's an internal matter for the Israelis.

23:51 IsambardPrince; It's just not important enough to commit our resources towards in any way.

23:51 MinceR; i'm neutral on it as well, considering that given the chances, both sides would happily enslave/torture/kill me for not following their religion

23:51 IsambardPrince; All funding and programs for both sides should be cut out of the federal budget.
