I’m Danish. You can make up your own mind as to how that might influence my perspective right now.
Comment on UK officials may be barred from US over X ban
calliope@retrolemmy.com 4 days agoI know this is an unpopular opinion and I expect downvotes, but you aren’t that much better.
Brexit was such a success, right? Johnson was the right choice, and you totally didn’t have a big fucking racist rally in September? Those were all from the U.S.?
This isn’t just a U.S. problem but it’s nice that the narrative makes you feel better!

I don’t care at all. You’ve made your point.

…You’re completely unaware of the profound irony of the statement you just made, aren’t you?

Genuinely your arrogance is astounding.

The labor government is a shit show, and they’ve done more damage than the tories did already. Outlawing protest, disallowing defenses against those charges, (often like decades in prison for disfavored protests, environmental and israel and climate now but everything else soon enough,) politicians proscribing protest groups as terrorists themselves, associating any protest of that same issue as support of the proscribed group. The masterbaitorbase and age checks.
The last the most pernicious perhaps. In effect it is them surrendering their populations to tech for a cut of the feed, identifying everyone to their accounts and everything they do, and allowing palantir companies to make social scores on their half baked formulas to be secretly used against everyones.
I am forgetting some stuff too. But the UK is perhaps more fucked than the US, it’s in our face, they somehow think they are winning because it’s “their” guys in there right now.
There has to be something in the water or food making us compliant, some ubiquitous pollutant(s,) some 1984 type shit.

Saying Labour is worse than the Tories is utter madness.

The magna carta got cancelled and you support it because it is “your” team.

Yeah, no, a bunch of right-wing fucks performing an ultimately democratic process is the same thing as hordes of masked, armed paramilitaries invading private homes to abduct and kill innocent people with the ruling class nodding in agreement. /s

There it is, there’s another cliche! Keep em coming.

Ah, you edited. I do understand that we have huge problems too. That do NOT include marauding state-sanctioned hordes and a leader that doesn’t seem to understand he’s not a king. Just because other people have problems doesn’t mean that yours cannot be way worse and ALSO affecting everyone else because of global relations.

Which part is the cliche?
