Frantically saturating a given thread with tweets is a good rule of thumb when approaching topics that may in fact exceed your ken.

loathe as i am to suggest an additional politics thread (as opposed to a politics board which i support) maybe a US and the World thread series could help fulfill foreigner desires to discuss how the hegemonic superpower impacts them and stop having to worry about every minor gossipy news story to come out of american media about the primaries

Just pointing out yet again I was posting about Scandinavian politics and a uk poster told me I didn't know what I was talking about and should shut the fuck up

not to be a dick, but in general, if you start a sentence with this phrase, it is likely you actually don't need to post that sentence, and you aren't going to change anyone's minds.

It was on a uk newspaper thread as well. I've put forth the very reasonable suggestion that we split ilx in two and let the uk posters have their own space, and the rest of us can post in peace.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 23:03 (four years ago) link
I know that sara. The uk posters are constantly lying no matter what. Still.
Wouldn't mind visiting Pomerania, though. Gdańsk aka Danzig is in it.

No hint of xenophobia in Fred's last two posts. Reasonable as ever.

Gdańsk is very good, can strongly recommend. Pretty sure we visited a restaurant Hitler had been to (not on purpose) & I got some lovely amber there.

He owned a German Shepherd iirc. But yeah, this is not how I expected this thread to prove (yet again) the validity of Godwin's law.

Pretty sure Hitler would have no truck with pomeranians, tbf to Hitler.

How I break it down: there is an unnecessary kneejerk element to some of the responses when Fred pops up in a thread but on the other hand I feel like you have a track record of being a patronising centrist Fred and if that's not what you're going for it's coming across badly.

I don't care about the Fred's 'centrism', I leave that to the Jacobins to get exercised over, but, yes to patronizing, touchy, belligerent.
― Load up your rubber wallets (Tom D.), Wednesday, 26 February 2020 15:48 (four years ago) link

I've given a lot more benefit of the doubt to Fred than a lot of people on here, who just attack him on sight. Not that that matters to Fred, he just tars everyone with the same brush.
