Talk Elections

Personally, I think he's one of the most insidious posters on the forum, and he bothers me way more than more overt, what-you-see-is-what-you-get ethnocultural nationalists like Sanchez and DavidB.

Please explain.

"Insidious" means something like "back-stabbing", which is something I would not say that I am.

I certainly post opinions though which are not "mainstream" on this - rather leftist/utopist/naive - forum and where you certainly disagree with me sometimes.

But "insidious" ?

"Insidious" can also have a more general meaning of "harmful in a way that's concealed or not immediately obvious".

Let’s just say I’ll be banned here if I extrapolate.

Meaningless accusations from you both, nothing else.

He’s an Atlas establishment.

There is some backstabbing taking place, but it is Tender who being stabbed in the back by the pro-rape and pro-murder left-fascists, just like the German army was backstabbed by the Jews in 1918.

Unfortunately, I have to say he's a HP.

He reminds me of Famous Mortimer, another mega HP.

He seems to be an FF.  I don't get the hate.

Let me put it this way...

He's a FF on everything not related to race or immigration.

Racist in denial, HP.

Right I don't follow all of his posts but what exactly has he said that was racist? Being against Merkel's immigration policy? Tbh I think most Europeans are, I don't know how that is racist

Huge FF, one of the top posters on at atlas.
It is not surprising that people dislike him, because good posters are generally not liked here.
I hope that therefore those who get a majority hp don't let it bother them.

On the other hand a lot of really bad posters get an overwhelming ff.

Let’s just say I don’t find it surprising he is from the sad country as Hitler

For better or for worse, he's come to define how I see all Austrians and their political beliefs. And I've been to Austria.

Sometimes I think Tender is some sort of a psyop set up by the enemies of Austria, whoever the hell they are. And let's be honest, it's working.

Quit being so chickeshit and actually speak your mind. I do it every day.

Being against the specific immigration policies of Germany is, of course, in and of itself, not racist... but he seems to think all immigrants should stay in their home countries and not be allowed to immigrate to Austria or the EU, which is a problematic view to have. I also don't like how he seems to think all, or the vast majority of - Muslims are bad.

That said, I can't say he's in the same vein as someone like Mortimer or ChairmanSanchez, and I won't condemn him too harshly as such, with the hope that his views on immigration and migrants  aren't based on any sort of bigotry.

That is wrong:

I favour a limited amount of skilled immigration & think that liberal Muslims are OK.

What I do not want is uncontrolled, unskilled mass-immigration and the vast majority of Muslims are not liberal, but backwards, anti-semitic, rather fundie types.

His reaction to the Christchurch terrorist attack solidifies as his position as one of the worst posters on Atlas.

Would have probably been neutral but after these last 24 hours or so voted FF

Not afraid to follow his ideals and present information, albeit unpopular with the "lace hanky" brigade.

()

Massive FF if there ever was one on this forum.

I loved his Crime Megathread so much, I franchised it.

Lean FF but with massive issues (like the crime megathread or the Christchurch reaction)

His views are fine with me. Maybe he is a bit more conservative than I am, but he is definitely well within the mainstream in Austria or Europe

Atlas is not the YouTube comments section or some other garbage place like 4chan, it is a place for quality and civil discussion, not to mention being a family-friendly board. I don’t behave like a poop thrower because of this.

Islamophobic POS

He's probably well-intentioned, but seriously misguided due to a certain inablity to produce differentiated assessments of complex issues.

Und du hast die Weisheit mit dem Löffel gefressen ?

Hmm ?

I posted that I was surprised this attack happened in NZ of all places (I was unaware at that point that NZs gun laws are as lax as the US gun laws).

So, this post is now controversial ?

Not really.

I am phobic against extremist and political Islam, that is a major difference.

it's just dems arguing into an echo chamber at one another

Real classy guy! Atlas institution! Well within the mainstream of the racist and xenophobic sh**tpile that is contemporary European politics! :) :) :)

Is it not a Turkish perpetrator ?

Does the mayor of Utrecht have false information ?

Please explain it to us, you expert.

Using the noun form of a demonym as an adjective is, in English, typically a sign of racism against the group denoted. If you claim not to have known this I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm skeptical.

My main language is not English.

I'm aware of this, but you otherwise speak it very well. That's all.

Like I said, I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in this particular case.

Seems to be alright, freedom fighter. I don't get the hate.

Several comments he makes about immigration to Europe are valid points, even though I disagree on some portions.

My opinion is in the vicinity of somewhere between these two.

If you can't be bothered to prove where anything I said makes me an "apologist for terrorism", your words mean nothing.

Have a seat.

Also, come to think about it, in a way, Tender is pretty much your average European #populist. Hardline on inmigration but centre-left economically. Austria is also landlocked, meaning he almost definitely can't be a coastal elitist, but comes from "Real Europe"

I wonder who our European "evil coastal elitist" will be?  ???

Massive FF of course.

Really depends on the subforum ... on General Discussion - which is currently in a tight race with any 2020 election-related board for the most brain dead place on the forum - you are definitely right.  Forum Community isn't usually too bad.  Off Topic and History are, of course, the two best places on the forum, but they get depressingly little traffic so you have to venture out every once in a while.

You might even characterize it as, say, an agora?


As for Tender...he has some horrible views that seem the most prominent but he’s likely still to the left of the people who live around him...so, I take it with a grain of Salz(burg).  He also acts as the Austrian ambassador to Atlas which is funny since Austria doesn’t exist.

It exists only in his head and in his basement.

Of course not. He's from Cisleithania.

Greetings, everyone ! As you know today is Steckeinenschwanzindasarschlochfest, and so I’m just wondering how Americans celebrate this holiday ? Here in Austria we decorate our trees with pieces of rope with loops tied at each end, and most towns will usually build a big wooden crucifix in the town square and light it on fire at the end of the night. The devious imp most associated with the special day is Niki Naki Neger:

()

Sometimes somebody will dress up as Niki and the townspeople will throw watermelons at him and yell “get out of here Neger !”  It’s often a lot of fun. Hopefully this year my town’s festivities won’t be ruined by an immigrant driving a truck into the crowd, but you never know ! :)

No wonder Europe is disintegrating from Far-Right loons if Tender Branson is considered a normality in Europe.

My moderate views (on immigration) are in fact shared by a majority (if not a big majority) of Europeans + Americans.

It is actually you, the naive open-border, anti-ICE, welcome crowd who are the odd ones out there and who are supported by only 20% of the population.

Hmmm ...

My moderate views (on immigration) are shared by a majority, if not a big majority of Europeans AND Americans.

It's people like you, the naive open-border, anti-ICE, welcome crowd who are the odd ones out there and who have no more than 20% support among the population.

Hmm you immediately went to the “Silent Majority” and accusatory schtick I see with the stallers here. Totally unsurprising.

This is priceless:

mixed, FF compared to most of the people who hate him

I've never considered Tender to be a hateful or "evil" individual. He's most likely a highly impressionable man, a product of his upbringing and spending too much time online.

I'm very mixed on him, but one thing that is undeniable is his odd, uncanny ability to find a way to incorporate Austria into any conversation.

Pretty funny

42% FF rating ?

Not bad.

But I guess it would be 55% if 150 people voted.

HP and a xenophobic, Islamaphobic racist with a rather over-inflated ego.

Everything is about Tender, or so Tender thinks.

Your approval is exactly the same as Trump's lol. That gives me an idea for a poll :P
