Man, get a grip. I'm just joking. You seem really insecure and borderline passive-aggressive. Anyway, you made a question, I answered your question, and that's it.

There's no fun in it without being passive-aggressive. And i don't think i'm insecure. I just don't know how to write opinions without showing this insecurity.
I know the meaning of a snowflake , so of course i'll question anybody who calls me with that xd

I was joking and you failed to see it. I wrote snowflake the same way I would write honey, dear or something like that. I was being sarcastic. You don't have to be insecure when someone is sarcastic to you. I'm not attacking you as a person, just joking around.

Sarcasm is easy, when you use it. Sarcasm is difficult, when somebody uses it against you. I somewhat hate it, when people can't be straightfoward. It's not hard to be. Not at all.

What is a Pegida? :mumble:

Same thing as antifa, but on the other side :p (I guess it's more of a thing only in this part of Europe then)

 

Both violent and both seemingly unable to find any reasonable discussion somewhere in the middle between all kinds of extremes (which, at least in the Netherlands, is such a common thing in any discussion nowadays, everything is driven more and more towards extremes on whichever side and if you've got an opinion that's somewhere in the middle, both sides accuse you of being an 'extremist' on the side that's not theirs).

This is why Antifa is an anarchic organization for entitled crybabies. They don't have a single clue about fascism.
Anyone defending Antifa is a fool lol



One anarchist organization fighting with another. Info Wars is such a joke. That’s our prime example of fake news, besides Brietbart, in the US

Lol. The only  anarchist organization in that video is the Antifa. It's always Antifa who tries to kill off the freedom of speech. I've seen enough to know that the World doesn't need Antifa. Other factions i've seen in antifa related videos are not even violent, but Antifa always tries to provoke them. Sure the provoking is coming from both sides, but Antifa keeps calling any another group Nazis. LITERALLY ANY OTHER GROUP. Here in Finland even the fucking NEO-NAZIS behave better than them lol

And Info Wars is not even the main point in this.

I agree that antifa is violent and provacotive, but I think they are, at least in my nation, a necessary reaction to a violent right.

I'd love to see a clash between Antifa & actual neo-nazis. That would be fun to watch.

Charlottesville, Virginia. It ended with a loss of life. But a good old fist fight wouldn’t be bad to watch ;)

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
