Yes this is an important thing to understand. People are interested in their own lives and a crazy ruler is just a form of entertainment in most people's lives. If they are effective with delivering quick economic results then they are good entertainers and are delivering some positives then fine - so why think more about this? It's demeaning to even take a fascist seriously so why bother doing so? In Germany we know why.

It is worrying that the far right parties are gaining to much support in Europe, and we should never take our eye off the ball and learn from history what can happen when you do...

You speak like leftism is the only legitimate political ideology.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no left what we have are a bunch of globalists run by the rich (WEF) pretending to be left(the right aint much better) while sending lots of our tax payers cash and weapons to a bunch of nazi`s who took over Ukraine in a coup financed by the US who by the way also funded the 3rd Reich and only joined the fight in Europe when it looked like their little puppet the mad Austrian was going to get his butt kicked and Germany occupied by the Red Army.
Their plan is sinister it is to send all you youngsters to die in battle so they dont end up with a pension crisis after stealing all the pension monies.
Yes the 3rd great human cull has already started.

the nature of misinformation is to use real facts and riff bullshit forward. that's sad in this case because there are some valid points that can be drawn from the cupla truths you have here.

What far right parties are you talking about ?
Judging by that picture , you've bought the Globalist lie that anyone who opposes the WEF is far right .
Far right usually means racist . I don't know of any racist parties that are on the rise in Europe . The right that is rising in Europe is generally speaking conservative of the liberal culture we've established over the last few decades . The new right believes in womens rights , gay rights , etc . You seem to be stuck in the past . The left are fighting phantoms and calling anyone who disagrees with them Nazis because they've run out of actual racists to fight .
It's actually very offensive to the people who did suffer under the Nazis .

Sadly we going to be finding out very soon that the majority of Americans want a semi-Fascist state the same with the uk population too

You better be talking about the authoritarian left but I fear you are not .
The right are all about freedom .

ring really reminds me of the gestapo, they rolled almost exclusively through ordinary informants. people with fucked up biases are having their day.

The 1st thing Goebels did was put a device in everyone's home.

why do they keep designing things to look like hal? doesnt anyone remember how the movie ends?

I usually pass out way before the end

not to worry its the worst part

where there are informants there is vendetta, blackmail and corruption

Any smart device

Why the dystopian views are always referred to Nazism and not to Communism? They are basically the same shit, and Communism looks much more dangerous to me, because it "succeeded" for many more years, in many more countries, and for some reason has that glamorous look to so many idiots...

Germany became increasingly polarized with people espousing Marxism on one side and Law and Order on the other. This is exactly how it feels in America now.

LOL very interesting take on history there

? pretty much the mainstream view on this for germany as well as austria and italy

AND JUST LIKE IN NAZI GERMANY YOU HAVE PEOPLE BEING APOLOGISTS BECAUSE OF "COMMUNISM". AT LEAST IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING COMMUNISM BACK THEN AND NOT JUST WHATEVER IS NOT ON THE RIGHT

and fucking communism works wonders for the ugly

from each according to his sperm

In times of economic and political strife extremists always rise, whether left or right wing...it doesn't matter, they are reactionary's. For example the liberal left intend destruction of things about history that upset them much in the same way Nazi's in Germany burned books. People need to learn from History and rarely do, the same mistakes are repeated and things somehow trundle on. 'Good times bring weak people', 'Weak people bring bad times', 'Bad times bring strong people' & 'Strong people bring good times'. The great circle of human history.

I thought it was the republicans (ie the right) in America banning certain aspects of history they don’t like.

Who are the liberal left?

Edit
I’m not trying to start an argument I’m trying to understand

lol it's different in different countries. A conservative in the US is different from a conservative in the UK.

As an example the BLM movement (btw I support equal rights for all races, genders etc.) have tried to expunge slavery and that part of history. Taking down statues of former slaveholders and so on won't change anything, we must remember these things happened so that they don't happen again.

Because of slow or no change for certain groups there is an attempt to accelerate that change from an evolution to a revolution. People will only be backed into a corner for so long whatever their political inclinations. Some people think they're pushing for positive change but real change is when we've learned the lesson.

an act of desecration is often more a monument of history than the original statue

Thanks for the response mate.

I still don’t get the tearing down statues of slave owners equates to trying to erase the history. Statues aren’t history they glorify the subjects for posterity.

Is it still a massive issue over there around the teaching of CRT?

Well the statues are an example. They are subjects for posterity but they also memorialise history and certain points in history. As such they connect themselves to that history.

I basically agree with you though, they aren't the history themselves and so it shouldn't matter. It's what they represent that makes the difference.

I feel that whether right or left wing, people have an agenda and push that. Both different sides of the same coin I'd say.

Also CRT?

Thanks for the response mate.

I see statues as a way to venerate the individual and what they stand for. Cultures generally don’t put up statues of twats. So the slavers statues should all come down imo.

CRT
Critical Race Theory

Yeah np, I don't mind a bit of debate.

Again I do agree with the first part of what you said. Statues certainly venerate people, but also events. However cultures not putting up statues of 'twats'...well...that's a matter of perspective.

There are many examples of people that put up statues of people who are considered great or influential in their time and place. Those same people and statues are considered later, or by another group to be somehow offensive or detestable.

I'm not gona say that something like slavery in the U.S. wasn't a terrible thing, it defo was. I do think that removing something that is generally offensive to the majority should be considered. It's just that we also need to learn from these things and replace them with something that educates people about the history surrounding them so as to understand the bigger picture.

But yeah CRT, I am familiar with it...bit of a deep and complicated topic. But to answer your original question about that, yes I believe it is still something of a hot topic within education in the UK. I believe the Tories here (conservatives) said they felt CRT was biased, in other words trying to ram anti-racism down kids throats without opposing viewpoints.

This is a quote from the Equalities Minister, "Any school which teaches these elements of critical race theory, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law".

So yeah interesting, jeez this turned into an essay XD

Thanks man I do appreciate your time and input.

It’s good to hear it from someone on the ground so to speak we just get fed what the media want us to hear

I do find CRT and the defund the police movements different. One is a collection of scholars etc critically evaluating how society has impacted people of all races and the defund the police is a social movement in response to innocent black people getting killed by police

Have I got that right?

You sound very naïve & to support CRT is crazy, hope you don't spout the sort of nonsense politics we see above IRL.

I don’t know how supporting a data driven legal critical evaluation by experts as naive maybe I’m missing something in your post as it doesn’t really make sense and yes i do discuss this topic and others with real people

Everything you've been hearing about the right is a lie .

Watching the Plot Against America on Sky and it’s easy to see how Facism takes hold. Not dissimilar to Trump’s America.

How is Trump's America fascist ?

Trump's lot are literally following the nazi playbook.

this old post is aging disturbingly well

"Well Said" Ras090 ...you Couldn't have put it any better
Now more people are Commenting there in the Same Boat ⛵..just for the sake of not opening messages, Seems to be there main Down Fall..😞

I do agree. I have accepted that I have lost money already. Pity as I had mates keen to place big orders. But at this rate. It's a hard no. Seems no one's messages are even opened.

if you havent received the items you paid for then dispute. People shouldnt have to deal with these poor levels of service. Luckily Littlebiggy has numerous very capable, very responsive vendors, its a shame (as well as being stressing af) when stuff like this happens. But it wont stop me trying new vendors from time to time.

I do not have a dispute option as yet. Fraud suspected on this vendor I see.

i can see this too hope to resolve it asap

Another day and still no order. Please could you get back to me?

just had a bad week bro unexpected fever literally not scamming anyone here i assure u

I hope not dude. You can gain tons of customers by just updating them. I have not received my parcel as yet. I will keep you updated if I do. Thanks.

Another big order seems to have been blown..oopps 🤔🤔🥴

not true bro

no u havnt bro sorting any issues out

had loads of orders shipped yday from a backlog

many should arrive today and following days

if u are missing an order please kindly message here stating item and shipping option used

Ok I will admit the postal service at best is very poor at times but even with that allowed for my order was marked sent ndd a few days before I put the message up.
I have been on here for a couple of years and never felt the need to put up anything before I may not be a veteran but I wouldn't say I'm a noob.either. several things were wrong which is why I posted.
Anyhow the update is
I got a message asking for info and apologies. So hopefully all will work out so will see.
I said I hoped to be proved wrong with any luck next week I will be.

Another day. And still no order. This is a let down. I have sent messages that have not been opened.

I’ve been trying to sort my issue too. First complained over a week ago and nothing has been sorted yet. Barely replied, Ordered over 2 weeks ago now, payed for NDD, and still nothing. Said I can have a 50% reship (nothing has been sent yet, hasn’t replied in days again) but I want what I payed for not 50% or a refund. So much hassle and little to no communication. Shouldn’t take over a week to sort a complaint if they want any customers let alone “happy customers”.

did you ever get this sorted Samhazel? I was promised an NDD on Monday and it still hasnt arrived...

Negative. Still waiting and waiting for a response.

These days everything should be used with a VPN there are way too many foul creatures that see opportunity in your data.

Thanks hotplay, any good recommendations would be welcome

Private Internet Access is a good bunch, they took out a big ad in the Times to shame the greedy US Senate.

thanks, started using opera which has a built in VPN as mentioned by the geezer above. Working a treat

Yeah they kind of creep me out, the images on their site seem subtly referential to kiddie porn, plus they are in the states which is a shit jurisdiction. I would say expressvpn.com, a little harder to use but a good outfit.

nice one, thank u

last time I asked this everyone laughed at me.. made it seem like VPN's are useless and I was overracting, fuck it I still use one though. Funny how you get mixed opinions on one post compared to the other.

They are actually pretty useless especially western based vpns(as we are much more free the company’s don’t need to give the same level of protection compared to one being used in a Asian country, if you read the t&cs ur data is not as secure as you would first think also your data can be sold on which is then not protected almost all vpns do this.

You can try. I have Private Internet Access and I can't visit the site unless my VPN is turned off.

I have PIA and I can access, I'm accessing LB on TOR browser and setting PIA to DE Berlin server

TOR is the answer to this for now. Even with Java partially enabled to get LB to work.

VPN is just another potential target for man in the middle attack.

Tor is safer if u use the safest option u just need to figure out what to press lol :)

This happened to me last week. It turns out Royal Mail are back to requiring signatures for some parcels to be able to deliver them. I just ordered a redelivery via their website and it arrived without issues, signature required.

Yeah, same as Anon1385 I had a signature requested last week after months of RM just dropping the parcels without them. I guess we're officially not doing Covid rules any more. Anyway, I ordered a reship and it arrived the next day, but as others have said, I doubt you've got anything to worry about if you would prefer to pick it up from the sorting office.

Unless it's a bit stinky?😋
That being said i've a new vendors order arriving tomorrow, better be ready for it.

Northern Organics stealth is great but they also use letterbox boxes so a bit weird you didn’t get it 🤔…

Just the lads? Ok... Fine!

(17 months, don't know, not me... great question :) )

Eta: Fluffy bottom brought me here, I was going to offer you a razor.

That was just a slip of the tongue in a manner of speaking, as a vendor, I have noticed that there are lots of women on here.
I've put up a special cooking and cleaning post on my wall especially for you all!


Just kidding :-D

Feel free to make me breakfast before you run the vac round :P

Man... that’s a question and a half?! Since I got here I have been wondering how long this has been here right under my nose...

There’s a weird thing though... I think...

I have seen quite a few members, rarely, who show as being here since 2015/16... but... anyone I seem to find that’s been here more than a few years seems to have no rep and no posts...

It made me a little paranoid at one point that I ought to shut the fuck up on here if I want to last???... the weirdness of Lb... fucking love it in here... be interesting to see what pops up on this thread? Maybe we will get silenced by the secret Lb Mafia???

Replying to this post may of put you inline for a men in black style memory/ profile erase :-D

Yeah...I weighed it up before posting and I decided to take the red pill....here goes nothing!!

too much. I like distillates to ingest orally while puffing on a cart so about 1 cart/10 days + 1 syringe/week = $120/week, give or take

throw in a few edibles & Green Dragon (made myself) on Saturday night date night with the wife

I'm a pretty heavy stoner, but keep my costs down by relying mostly on concentrates. I tend to get Canadian dispensary products which work out 30-40 quid per gram. At a push, using efficient kit (Puffco Peak/Dab rig) I can make 1 gram last a week. But typically, I'll get through 2g of concentrates a week, along with a henry or so of bud and a couple of grams of hash. I guess I'm spending about 100 a week, but I'm OK with that.

How many dabs do you get out a gram? If I made the full switch to concentrates I doubt I'd need very much at all. 100 is a decent amount of smoke for sure I would be happy with that too.

I don't think I've ever counted really... I've usually got 4 or 5 different waxes/shatters on the go at once, so it's hard to tell. Got to be at least 20 dabs from 1g (for me)... I just tried to weigh the piece of shatter I'm about to dab, the scales read 0.00! I once attempted a 0.25g dab (which is still small compared to some... possibly?) but pretty much coughed it all out straight away. I like to hold them down for a good 30 seconds...

Interesting idea mate
