It's like gambling but you only waste time not money.

(Ice) Hockey is a better sport for that.

Less to do with elegance of sport and more to do with enjoying being part of a cheering crowd.

maybe euros but the only consistent way to get a strong social safety net from the federal government in burger land is join the military. They basically have their own welfare state.

I wrote a lot about this but the site deleted my shit when I tried to post it.

It's funny you would ask this because I was in the region as a security guy and my academic studies vaguely cover this area. I've written one or two papers on it and have an interest in learning about it.

In general, being an air force pilot or military officer is prestigious in the GCC, so I doubt any state has trouble finding them. As for intel, I have no idea. But when I've run into those types, they tend to look like local and one thing that's clear is that they're all good at internal suppression, so whatever they're doing works.

But yeah, most of the GCC outsources their security services. Kuwait is a notable exception, presumably because of the Iraqi invasion. They seem to only take locals, and they have conscription. They have questionable training. I recall reading a news story about a cop being murdered during a traffic stop while his partner was hiding in their vehicles. Also, while not necessarily common, they have tribal cops in the national police they don't even trust to carry guns, and the department as a whole was only armed with maybe the last two decades. Probably because of the war idk. Kuwaitis are notoriously boisterous but soft. I recall witnessing a fight once that resembled shit we'd see in an elementary school in the US. I'm talking literal Naruto kicks.

Omani military officers have a good reputation and are sought after in the region. I've heard they often find work in Bahrain after service. Seeing the Omani security services in person, they seem well-equipped and competent. I think this trickles down from their work ethic in general. Omanis and Saudis are the only GCC citizens you'll see working regular jobs. An Omani checked me into my hotel when I visited and I found it so novel.

Bahrain is unique in that its security services being mostly foreign is a state priority. Their leadership is Sunni, but since a lot of their population (maybe a slight majority, I think) is Shia, they stack the security services in their favor. A lot of their military and cops are visibly Pakistani. They're armed and seem professional, and they have a track record of suppressing dissent well. One of the few ways to get Bahrani citizenship is to serve in the military for like 20+ years.

Qatar has a lot of foreignerPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Oh, and also GCC states tend to give their security services nice benefits. Like they often have military/police officer association clubs, hospitals, sports stuff, and the like sprinkled throughout their cities.

I mean ok, sure, it's not all about K/Ds but the right has fanatical soldiers willing to kill and to die, what do we have?

I do not care for who's destroying the west. All I care for is to see the west be destroyed.

>>802139
You're missing the point: this shows that the west as a construct is doomed precisely because of the ideologies that it fosters. The more successful the bourgeois are at indoctrinating the population, the gears will jam up.

Right wing extremist ideology is driven by personality flaws rather than being pushed by the bourgeoisie for the most part (Thiel etc excepted but they've got their own little freak circle), the bourgeoisie used to provide a backstop on how evil and dumb people could be in an age of mass media (at around Fox News level) but now the internet lets others offer something stronger and customers in the supermarket of ideology make their own choice.
Fundamentally they are dumb nasty people with dumb nasty instincts who vote for the biggest bastard possible. This is why globally the far right "nationalists" are a trump cult.

>>802156
>driven by personality flaws rather than being pushed by the bourgeoisie
And those personality flaws are the result of the environment (base and superstructure) those right wingers are in, which the bourgeois get to decide for them (at scale, individual choice exists but can only mitigate).

"Personality" is a euphemism for looks, mostly.

High openness is considered positive among all civilized people, but for inhibition depends on the context, can make you seem boring.

>>802134
Domestication and civilisation are not too dissimilar. The very fact you made this thread suggests you're high openness. That's good: of the two, openness is much more important than agreeableness. Sometimes it's necessary to be disagreeable (most successful business people and politicians are low agreeableness, though the latter particularly can control their power level and mask it.) but there are no redeeming traits to being low openness.

There are zero low openness communists. Low openness is synonymous with classcuckery. It is, definitionally, the inability to imagine or desire a better future.

>>801919
The Deprogram fell off. Hakim had never been wrong ever before the China episode. Sad state of affairs. That being said, even this stereotype you paint usually despises Hasan, dude fell off even harder (though he was already a libshit to begin with). They also despise the ACP for obvious reasons.

>>802031 (me)
Like it feels like you're just trying to bait and piss off the most amount of people possible instead of building a coherent caricature. Do better

>>802024
There is no "Dengism"
Deng was Marxist. He shed blood fighting Japanese fascists in the Communist army. You will never do such a thing.

Holy larp son

Starlight was right about cutie marks restricting freedoms. Without the bubble cutie mark Derpy would be a nuclear physicist.

>>801543
no Starlight was a retard. division of labour is good. Twilight and the girls were right to do cultural genocide on her town, dragging it kicking and screaming into the future

>>801546
Socialism is supposed to work on overcoming the division of labor. And Equestria has been doing cutie marks for 1000 years and their productive forces SUCK. In the movie they almost got conquered by some blimps and a hornless unicorn.

>>801676
cutie marks are part of pony species being, retard. you will not get rid of them any more than you will get away from the distinction between earth pony, pegasus and unicorn

Are you writing this in the convalescent home?

Am I right in thinking that this is just sadism, which is justified by "wel, xe murdurz bad goys xD xD (end vey r also migrands)"?

>>802079
Nah, you’d be right considering how the movie is basically the cinematographic version of William Luther Pearce’s “The Turner Diaries” in terms of having little to no artistic merit and for being nothing more than pro-murder agitprop that will likely inspire acts of right-wing terrorism in the coming years.

And of course, the establishment won’t ban it the way they ban ISIS propaganda even doe the only difference is in length. I don’t think that CIA asset ever made a feature-length movie though
