Hate groups and intolerance are different from other types of political positions.” “Has someone hacked your account?” one Twitter user asked. “This is very real,” read a reply by Ravelry to its 117,000 Twitter followers. |

Hate groups and intolerance are different from other types of political positions.” Quoting: Bane them all! 5221096 Bullshit. But it's why the president, among others on the sociopolitical right, needs to be even more upfront and candid about liberal and conservative, leftwing and rightwing. In the interview he did with George Stephanopolous the other day, not once did Donald Trump refer to the leftwing slant of ABC's "reporter," which was clearly evident during portions of his conversation with the president. If too many people continue to treat one another's ideology as similar to talking about people's bad breath or body odor, the idiocy, dishonesty and lack of ethics - and legitimate compassion - of liberals will remain even more entrenched. . |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58925551 Whites who advocate for whites are supremacists. Blacks, Asians, J00ishes, Latinos...... who advocate for their ethnic groups are civil rights activist, and no way supremacists. What an evil, slimly ideology cultural Marxism is. > : The level of ignorance and hypocrisy from the liberals is beyond words. The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it - Orwell If you’re backed by Hollywood, social media, the government, and practically the entire globalist system, you are not the resistance -- you're part of the problem |

Quoting: Only Original Documents Remember to be prepared and well rounded, women need to know how to crochet, knit etc. It’s not for only old women, that is unless men only want young women that play with makeup and watch videos all damn day? That website was actually excellent for all types of patterns when you are a prepper. Because when you make your own sweaters, socks, bedding by hand it had fun and varied patterns you could download and store from many different countries. Great if you own sheep and a spinning wheel. But I never even knew there was a forum or even discussions going on. For normal people you find your patterns, download them, and turn it off. Typical woman... Worries about wasting time and being a burden worrying about PATTERNS when SHTF. Not sure why you are confused. Prepared means having been prepared for a situation......before SHTF, not “when”. Various patterns have been transferred to archival paper already. Notice our grandparents knit sweaters, socks and hand made clothing, it’s nice when you are an expert knitter to have varied patterns for different seasons. SHTF sceniero will have many ....truly... prepared people in rural or bugout areas ready to live as our grandparents did over 150 yeas ago. No electricity, water well, and a self -sustaining family farm. Which includes not only security/protection in various forms. But the ability to make your own clothing without going to populated areas areas, wasting ammo or arrows trying to raid stores. Clothes wear out with time, especially if a man is actually using them and working hard outdoors. A vintage spinning wheel, treadle sewing machine, massive loom to make fabric or rugs, the ability to make puffer coats from scratch, the ability to not only raise sheep, but keep them healthy, shear and process fur and meat when needed. |

I was a member there for maybe 10 years or so. I had many many knitting patterns for sale on Ravelry, and also marketed my hand dyed yarn in a group there and with ads. I made a lot of money through and for that site. There's no real alternative. Last Edited by Howl on 06/24/2019 02:14 PM |

When Obozo was pretending to be president I thought all of his supporters were afrocentrists. Quoting: Chip Not me. I thought they were mainly slimy ultra-liberals. . What's the difference? It's easier for slimeball liberals, who happen to be black, to pivot to claiming that disgust or apprehension about them happens to be due to their external characteristics, not the internal ones of their brain hooked on leftism. . |
