Pretty much all songs sucked this year :D

Well, its a subjective thing. I admit, i never actually heard Portugals song cause i wasn't there when it was on,
but i wasn't particularly impressed by anyone.

I just wanted Gunther for Finland this year. That's the only thing i wanted, but even that wasnt possible because finnish voters

Sports make me somewhat mad

Avilo's fucking voice is like super high pitched Butthead from Beavis and Butthead, I'm just waiting for him to go "uhuhuhuhuh, uhuhuhuhuh" Fuck this guy is terrible.

Spending an hour in Avilo's chat is really an experience. Apparently he has a girlfriend and noone believes him. I love this shit.

Fuck you manner mulers

WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT SLEEEEEEEP

hehehaha fun to lose vs 5100 mmr shit tosses who allin and would never win a single game in their life if they played a real race. What a fucking joke, hope that guy gets run over by a train. Fucking waste of oxygen

I've noticed some people throwing terms around and usually, they're just a catch-all for "people I don't like". To the surprise of ideologues, however, words actually have real fucking definitions. That's right, you sad fucks. That's why I don't say random gibberish to communicate ideas and thoughts. Fucking A, right?

Alt-right: Nobody is alt-right. The left says everyone is alt-right, and everyone on the right says they're libertarians, so I guess alt-right doesn't mean anything, right? RIGHT? Of course not; "alt-right" refers to right-wingers who are disillusioned by the Republican Party, or brit right-wingers who want to make Nigel Farage their new god. And then fuck him.

Snowflake: This has become a catch-all for everyone to use as an insult. Well, you can't just use this for anyone, you crumpled-up pile of shit-covered toilet paper. This comes from people who create imaginary problems and struggles in order to garner attention. When you go, "Everyone has problems, deal with it." they would go, "No one has problems like mine. I'm a special case that has never happened before." You know, real problems like the struggle of trying to get acceptance from your community when you tell them that you fuck cats on the regular and that they need to respect your alternative lifestyle. Historically, we've seen goth kids, emo kids, scene kids, kids who try to skateboard just because they think it'll make them no longer mainstream, etc. In the 70s, there were hippies and they just did a ton of drugs. In the 50s, they had those kids who would always play Indians in "Cowboys and Indians". In the golden age of Greece, you had those kids who would worship Tartarus. More like retardus, amirite? Snowflake kids are the new emo kids, and tumblr is their myspace.

Literal Nazi: Not everyone you disagree with is a 'literal nazi'. I'm talking to you, radical leftists. I'm talking about tolerant progressives who don't even try to hide how hateful they are anymore and just go "Fuck white people", and "Fuck men", "Fuck straight people", and of course, "Fuck milk". If a woman disagrees with them, she's obviously brainwashed by society to hate herself and has internalized misogyny. If a black person disagrees with them, he/she is an "Uncle Tom", and needs to get back to their massa's house. Basically anyone who disagrees with them is considered to be Satan. Even when they hold simultaneously contradictory positions, like women needing liberation, but also that gender isn't real. How dare you, you card-carrying member of the National Socialist Party of Germany from the 1920s-1940s. No, nobody is a "literal nazi", you spazoid. If you saw people posting memes of nazi-stuffs, they're just trying to rile you up because you have a highly dysfunctional grasp of reality, and feel like memes are a legitimate threat to your life.

Fascist: From the Latin 'fasces', it is an axe with a bundle of sticks tied tightly around it. Individually, the sticks would easily be snapped over my knee w/ ease, but together, they are strongk. It is a symbol for unity and nationalism, and was attributed to leaders like Benito Mussolini, when people from democratic republics would surrender individual liberties in order to give power to a central figure that they could unite behind. I guess the argument could be made that any democratic leader who uses 'nationalist' rhetoric to get elected is a fascist, because they're appealing to a populist desire to unite to solve a problem. That "problem", perceived or real, can range anywhere from crappy cafeteria food in public schools, all the way to something really bad like calling for genocide or mass relocations of populations. However, the usage of the word has been broadened (wrongly, of course, because why bother using words appropriately?) to include anyone who supported Donald Trump for President, or voted 'leave EU' in the Brexit referendum. This gave rise to groups of black-mask-wearing fuckwits called the "Antifa" (short for anti-fascist, because they're bad at spelling), which are essentially gangs of hooligans who commit random acts of violence. There have been clashes between Antifa groups and neo-nazis in the United States. This is because these groups just want to fight because they're super-angry. That being said, if you are a dumbshit blond internet blogger, and go to a Brexit protest wearing an oversized union-jack top-hat to deliberately antagonize them, it's like going up to a beehive and saying "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOUR BEEHIVE. YOU CAN'T STING ME." Well, when they steal your hat right off your empty head, and you start screaming, "You guys are the real fascists!" then you are a moron. There are many things that the Antifa are being: anarchists, anti-authoritarian, anti-nationalist (hence why they hate the union jack hat), and generally just confrontational, but not "fascist", you whoremonger twat.

Communism: A communist society is a stateless, classless, moneyless society that is based around communes where people share goods and services based on each individual's needs. Socialism, by contrast, is supposed to be the 'transitional' government that institutes communism. The socialist government reorganizes the economy from a capitalist society by forcefully seizing businesses and taking control over them in the name of "the people", in order to re-allocate those businesses to the local communities. This process, called "the redistribution of wealth", is meant to take the capital power from business tycoons and large corporations, and give it to the common folk. Many policies that are deemed to be "socialist" in democratic societies are not socialist in the classical sense, but are merely increased taxes that are then used by the government for social programs. This is not socialism, although, you can make the argument that the government is forcing you to pay taxes, SO IT'S BASICALLY SEIZING YOUR BUSINESS ENTIRELY, RIGHT GUYS? AYN RAND WOULD NOT APPROVE. So anyhow, a 'true' communist country has never materialized, and likely will not come out of any kind of transitional government because that government will never give up its power. In fact, the opposite was shown to happen with the rise of Josef Stalin in the USSR. Stalin helped fund various revolutionary groups around the world, and his rule became the archetype for the governments of North Korea, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Yugoslavia, and East Germany. This type of government was essentially a totalitarian cult-of-personality dictatorship. Historically, the socialist governments that have emerged have transformed into horrendous dictatorships, because they were all seeded by Stalin. Additionally, boycotts, embargoes, and sanctions by capitalist countries have led to mass starvation in these countries, especially in North Korea, and more recently, Venezuela. The seizure of assets by the Venezuelan government prompted many rich countries to attempt to economically strangle Venezuela. Similar efforts have been made against former Soviet allies, such as Iraq, Ethiopia, Syria, Libya, Angola, Mozambique, and Somalia, leading to massive humanitarian crises. Ignoring all historical and political facts, pro-capitalists use the crises in these nations as 'proof' that 'communism' fails. Yes, socialist countries are failing, but because our leaders are forcing them to overspend on military equipment by threatening them, then embargoing food shipments to those countries.

Ancap: Short for "Anarcho-capitalism", which is a synonym for 'mentally handicapped'. This is a movement of middle-to-upper-class fucktards who want to create a fair and ideal society, but want to keep making lots of money. The idea is that society will just run itself and will make adjustments as needed to the problems they face. Corporations will do all kinds of nice things for their workers, because if they don't do nice things, people will go elsewhere and won't buy their goods. Cuz that's how it works in the real world, right? There's no chance that corporations would collude and/or merge together to form power blocs to do anything nefarious with no oversight.


p.s. - Communism will never work, and Anarcho-Capitalism will never work. Ever. Not even in the year 2336.
