Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

I'm English and live in Spain, and would probably find things rather more alien to me in Sweden or Bavaria, I dare say! The seafaring nations have another commonality that marks them from the rest as well. We had a thread here a while back urging how this largely separates the Dutch from the Germans, for example. As for las Indias, sure they speak Spanish, but there are cultural undercurrents out there that might as well be Martian, too. All of these categories we try to put things in are very generalised and somewhat abstract. While occasionally useful, and helpful to the student of history and culture, any distinctions made have to be seen in context of wider more complex patterns.
