From Reddit, a book store in Oslo.

I visit that store every damned time I have to go to that cesspool of filth that is Oslo.

One of the few non-chain bookstores.

Run by communists and anarchists. Every day is a day in the Catalunian free community.

Can you just take books and go?

Is he aware both Athens and Rome did, in fact, decline?

Don't tell him about Gibbon's thesis. His head might explode.

Rome fell because of the enemy within, the Christians. No wait, Christianity is a force for good, the empire didn't fall but merely evolved, taking ideas and influences from illegal immigrants.  No wait, that's not it either. It fell because of economic reasons, yes. The huge gap between rich and poor, the fabulously wealthy people in power enriching themselves no no wait...

YouTube is acting wonky, so that probably means WWIII is starting.

If you're talking about comments disappearing, turning off and then on ad blocker fixes that for one video.  I'm sure YouTube is hard at work fixing that.

I've noticed it getting wiser to my VPN over the last week or so.

I doubt that the author of The Art of the Deal ever visited pedophile island. Trump on the other hand.

Those left-wing socialist muckrackers of the WSJ at it again.

From an article about the Colonia Dignidad in Chile:
https://theamericanscholar.org/the-torture-colony/

[...]

All challengers to Schaefer's authority—real or imagined—were rooted out and destroyed. No one inspired greater love and admiration among the children of the Colonia than Santa Claus. It is said that in the days shortly before Christmas one year in the mid-1970s, Schaefer gathered the Colonia's children, loaded them onto a bus, and drove them out to a nearby river, where, he told them, Santa was coming to visit. The boys and girls stood excitedly along the riverbank, while an older colono in a fake beard and a red and white suit floated towards them on a raft. Schaefer pulled a pistol from his belt and fired, seeming to wound Santa, who tumbled into the water, where he thrashed about before disappearing below the surface. It was a charade, but Schaefer turned to the children assembled before him and said that Santa was dead. From that day forward, Schaefer's birthday was the only holiday celebrated inside Colonia Dignidad.

[...]

"It is said" does some heavy lifting, obviously, but damn. There's being a nazi kiddie diddling cult leader and torturer and then there's going the extra mile of literally killing Santa in front of kids.

Well viper did say he recanted on maduro.

True, but the claim that he "finally recanted" a position he never held is just more gaslighting.

True enough, I was just going by the two comments, I had no knowledge one way or the other about his stance.

Fair enough.
