Why I Care

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Why are you posting a picture of Bob Geldof?

<jokeexplain>
Bob Geldof portrayed the main character, "Pink," in the film adaptation of Pink Floyd's concept album The Wall, which towards the end of the story has Pink become a neo-Nazi after a complete mental breakdown.</jokeexplain>

Pink supremacy sounds hilarious, honestly.

If you're going to tantalize us with the suggestion-of-existence of such morbid enchantment, common courtesy gently obliges you to post a link.

And I don't care that you seem to think my point was addressed by you and refuted or whatever. Get off social media.

Then, why post in the thread?

I'm still not sure why you take exception to my post when I wasn't addressing you. *shrug* I don't care.

Or a Romanian and a Scot?

Funny you pick those two because they do share a patron saint (St. Andrew).

To be fair, half these white supremacist assholes don't count Slavic people or Southern Europeans as "European" (they probably don't count Romanians either even though they're Romance language speakers not Slavic language speakers).

Yes. Because a "European Identity" doesn't inherently exist among likeminded people to OP in actual Europe.

Indeed. The people who think like the OP in Europe are way more into national identities and isolationism.

Yee
The idea of white nationalism in europe is weird because most of europeans are white but don't share a culture
Doesn't matter im happy there are a lot less white nationalists here

Poland, as an overwhelmingly Catholic country, shares a lot of culture with, for example, Italy, on that basis and on other basis of shared history - running up to the present, as both are now client states of the NATO/EU empire and have their metaculture imposed on them.

Pierogi are basically ravioli, so I can agree here.

Curses, my random picking of European nations geographically separate from each other has backfired on me.

I have heard of the movie, although that was all because of a crappy parody by Channel Awesome.

There is a common shared European high culture so it’s not that surprising. I mean it would have happened if you’d picked Georgia and England.

Just because two countries share the same religion does not mean they have a shared culture or history

[Kaczynskisatva]

It's funny that we should begin discussing saints, since the legends of the saints are a great example of the past form of the Euro-monoculture.

I need to start charging for these obvious explanations.

A religion is an institution of culture. At times, it is also an institution of law. Laws, generally, are derived from culture, and also define and reinforce it.

Religions, contrary to popular superstition, do not fall from the sky. They spread horizontally, in the same patterns by which trade and war spreads. So, if two places have the same religion, this means they necessarily have some shared history, because it has to have gotten there somehow.

There is a common shared European high culture so it’s not that surprising. I mean it would have happened if you’d picked Georgia and England.

Frankly, this thread is a psycho-horror show, which exists to demoralize I, the protagonist of it, with a macabre display of supposedly 100+ IQ adults with at least high school and in some cases university education, who will make the same untrue statements, over and over again, about something really, really basic.

There are two possible explanations for this:

1) They just don't like their neighbors, don't want to be in a polity with them, and think that by saying "europeans have no common culture" they are really saying "I don't want a fourth reich."

2) Their years of education has not armed them with an understanding of history and culture that you would get if you spend one hour in one class, taught by me, on the first day of it.

With respect to 1), I also don't like my national neighbors, I don't want to be in their polity or want them in mine, and I don't even know what a fourth reich would look like, but the last one sucked, so it's a failing brand. But, we do have a lot in common. If there was a literal carbon copy of me, I would fight my clone for food. We would still have a lot in common.

With respect to 2), people cannot possibly be this dense - but they can be this dishonest. I think it is within the capacity of people understand, as quoted above, "high culture", in the sense of an over-culture, which allows Polacks and Italians to have differences between them - notoriously, their language - but also similarities between them - notoriously, their religion, secular Enlightenment and postmodern philosophy, alphabet, the architecture of their governments, their material architecture and art, their EU super-polity, their calendar of holidays, their genetic distance, and many aspects of their ways of life and personal habits. There is just something weirdly political-psychological going on in this thread, which is probably related to the lack of popularity of "white identity" and cardinally numbered reichs hanging over the OP, which leads them to making dishonest statements as a knee-jerk reflex.

More than anything, this thread so far makes a hard case that we need a licensing agency to issue permits to people to have opinions, or that our whole way of educating people has never trained them to use natural language in a way that only outputs formally true arguments.

And the account isn't even a month old, it's like poetry.

How so?

LOL this is rich coming from a conspiracy theorist with no knowledge of evolution.

Congrats, you have lost the ability to comment your opinions. How do you feel?

To be fair, I wouldn't know this if I hadn't just moved from Scotland to Romania (also, I think he was only adopted as the patron saint of Romania in the 1980s while he's been Scotland's patron saint since 1320.

The two countries don't have much else in common though.

[Risottia]

Yes, but, your point is addressed directly. We do not know each other, no one here knows anyone else here, and if they imagine that they do, this is really sad and they need another social activity. All that is real here is the text on the screen, the dialogue itself. That is the only thing that is real for everyone involved. If you want fake friends, get social media.

St.Augustine would beg to differ.

Not an argument.

Sorry, Descartes was huge fail of a philosopher anyway, so you Kant dismiss my argument.

Both countries are one timezone away from me.

Which is an incredibly bad commonality.

Hmmm, both countries suffer from bad politicians.

Damn, it is hard to come up with stuff here.

That's where the suffering from bad politicians comes from.

The UK suffers from bad politicians, Scotland does alright.

Though other than the Tories of the last decade, I'm not sure that UK politicians even remotely compare to the level of terrible Romanian politicians.

Although at least Romania occasionally charges its corrupt politicians with crimes instead of doing shit-all about them.

No, I was actually wrong and it was 1997 that he officially became the patron saint of Romania.

I am now running at negative balance of obvious explanations for the day, and must hybernate for OP, or someone, to offer an actionable point here.

Either properly debate someone, or don't reply to them at all. This whole sarcastic "end of discussion because I say so next" act is too close to spam and flamebaiting.
