posts very much in character

Wonderful.

Can’t wait for shit for brain “Fred B” defense of Joy Reid And her homophobe bs
Maybe he’ll revive Nerdstrom to take the heat for that

wait i thought Nerdstrom P was gabbneb, thus, if Nerdstrom P is Fred B, then would that mean gabbneb and Fred B were the same poster?!!!!!!!!

tip of the iceberg

socks very much in character

finntepede

chairman alph is fake tuomas, morbs is me

what is the goal of this conspiracy?

unity

Paul is Fred, miss him, man, miss him.

but considering that the common trait of these posters: Nerdstrom, Fred, 'neb, fake Tuomas -- is to argue an "unpopular" opinion with other posters, and often get banned as a result, then either the conspiracy is really shit at achieving the goal of unity, or .... there is a different goal?

maybe the goal is to entertain, to alleviate the tedium of unity and reasonableness?

maybe we shd poll it

i think we should make lists

what's amusing and inexplicable about Fred is how much he cares about us politics at a pretty granular level despite never having been here??????????????????? I mean I get caring about POTUS but fuck me running I feel bad for anyone in Europe who's even aware of Joy Ann Reid's existence.

i thought he was an exchange student here once, right? but yeah, the degree to which he is preoccupied with arcane american bullshit is weird

Yeah, I studied literature at UCSD for a year, specialized in American literature, wrote my final assignment on Thomas Pynchon. Of all the weird shit I'm preoccupied with, 'arcane american bullshit' is one the most explainable ones.

I still had to google who Joy Ann Reid was to understand wtf buzza was talking about. Still don't get it.

ah gotcha

JAR is an awful journalist, a liar, and straight up should not have a TV show.

Nerdstrom pointdexter was m4tt armstr0ng

Equally weird is questioning anyone's motive to be involved/engaged in something tbf. It's very American to not get how a non-American could have an interest in something - esp politics - outside one's own country. I mean, you can call someone out for dumb shit, but questioning his motives to engage in conversation over and over (and following that up with 'gtfo Fred' or 'why are you here Fred') is nagl.

and of course bosko would totally send dick pix. He played for Villa remember?

I for one don’t care about Fred’s motives!

That's the right attitude imo!

Fred is certainly a lot more qualified to talk about US politics than he is about UK politics. Also I don't know if the Danish media is as fascinated as the UK media is with US politics despite the population as a whole not giving one flying fuck.

... qualified to talk about US politics, that is.

... oh, I already said that. Friggin' phone.

i dont mind his "interest" i mind the degree to which he hectors ppl from a position of expertise when there is little at stake for him.

danesplaining, if you will

cant help it when youre from splaindinavia!!!!

is it more nagl to
find it weird that (people from xyz region) are interested in the minutiae of another country's politics
or
to pretend you are from xyz region to provoke people and "stimulate discussion" by being antagonistic/contrarian/etc?

there's a lot of bad looks to go around but i am not sure which is "worse" in the eyes of the general ilx public. i know what i think.

if yr saying what i think yr saying i would like to learn more

is he not actually a bison?

tbh that statement is open enough that several possible epiphanies just floated through my brain

and at least one hilarious burn on a poster

that xyz region in full:

lbi otm

course, lbi is widely acknowledged as one of the fredb/mitteleuropean sockmaster alter egos

ok so can someone explain this:

Years ago, I got personal emails from the person claiming to be LBI. The person's name was G3r@rd. Was this person real?

afaik yes

hmmmm

i met a person who claimed to be lbi but he called himself kkkkkhhhhhhhiiiiiirhard so idk

But if that is true, can someone explain this
course, lbi is widely acknowledged as one of the fredb/mitteleuropean sockmaster alter egos

no one person has the entire puzzle afaict

So which is it -- is he a real person named G3r@rd or a "widely acknowledged sock" and who exactly was emailing me about a random art project I made?

lbi isn't a sock. this was dmac doing some of his "humour"

FWIW, La Bateau Ivre used to post under that personal name. See, e.g., Courtroom sketches

sigh

there is a widely known longrunning ilx trope that all central european ilxors are the same poster

this has been the case for many years

any clarifying information is welcome
if you wonder why people leave ilx for good, women in particular, i would point at this sort of situation

it does not feel safe or wise to interact with people in this way. not for me.

kkkkkhhhhhhhiiiiiirhard is the sock; only Jurd is real
