Yeah, but in a civilized first-world country, this is absurd.

No rainbow star

First thought at 15 years: "Oh god all the computer games they missed out on!"

Not sure what that says about me

I know they do in the world at large.

But I thought it was only in backwards-ass third world countries.

Like I said, it happens everywhere, Chagen.

~~>But I thought it was only in backwards-ass third world countries.~~

~~Like America?~~

Seriously though there are cases all over the world about people who have been kept as slaves in modern times, in nearly all western countries.

They're somethin' else.

Well, no one keeps slaves OPENLY, if that's what you meant, Chagen. So I quite understand your confusion.

This wouldn't take you by surprise if you didn't believe in European Nationalism. Every country pulls the same shit at some point or another.

Being a Nationalist =/= Denying your country's wrongdoings.

I'm starting to become more of a Germanic Nationalist now. That doesn't mean I'm a Nazi Apologist.

I speak a Germanic Language.

Also, Allophilia.

A Germanic language from a country that isn't even on the same continent as Germany.

^^ First, that's not a word, and second, just stop digging yourself deeper. We all know you like Europe, and there's nothing wrong with that. Screaming persecution just antes up the derp.

Yeah but like...I...Just no.

And besides, Allophilia wouldn't be nationalism.
