me: starts packing
landlord: “what where you going”
me: shows him this post
landlord: “oh can I come with you”
Try living in the American cesspool. I have to struggle every day to not kill myself.
Seems like a waste, your leader will need cannon fodder for the front lines soon. /s
I dunno. America is making the European extreme right a lot more emboldened.
The only thing stopping them making a clean sweep in the UK is they’ve split into factions and none of them can agree on anything other than a rabid hatred of anything foreign.
Being Canadian is the same, just that we have that shit during our entire goddamned day
I get you!
Bonus points if you’re unfortunately Albertan 🙃 🔫
Plz just nuke us
Native New Yorker here.
He was a part of the local media here forever. In his home town he’s hated by the rich, the poor, the middle class, and everyone else.
We tried to warn people.
Who cares? Lol
Clearly you considering you posted this lmao
And responded to them
At least you can start drinking when they’re posting and no one calls you an alcoholic.
“are you drinking again?” Checks the news “ooh I see” goes away like nothing happened.
Our police force is drowning people in the Mediterranean.
Right, so if I look up politics in the UK I’ll see that everything’s ‘pretty excellent?’
Quite the opposite at the moment
Only if you ignore the crazy haired man that rugby tackles Japanese children.
UK is serious country, with minded politicians, not a circus.
lol, and they say americans are delusional
Yea, I forgot Liz.
- The Leave Referendum, Brexit negotiations and the actual Brexit.
- Pretty much every single day of the government of Boris Johnson.
- All the shit that came out in the Snowden Revelations about the “worse than the Stasi” level of civil society surveillance UK .
- The causes and handling of the 2008 Crash in Britain.
- The British participation in the second Iraq War which was amongst other things deemed Pillage (a war crime) in the report from the Comission on the Iraq War and the subsequent absence of accountability of British decision makers involved.
- The current government arresting people as “Terrorist supporters” for demonstrating against the Gaza Genocide.
- The pure propaganda BBC coverage on the Gaza War.
- The entire Corby “anti-semitism” slander campaign including the pure propaganda BBC coverage as well as the time they basically called a Jewish Holocaust Survivor an anti-semite to try and slander Corbyn by association.
- The ongoing crackdown on the right to demonstrate since at least 2010.
These are just the biggest ones (not including the long-running shit-show called The Royal Family). Plenty of smaller insane shit can be found in British newspapers quite regularly.
British politicians haven’t been serious and minded for at least 2 decades, probably more.
Great image management and projection of a posh image, whilst totally taking the piss out of just about everybody but a handful of people in their making of policy.
And BoJo! XD
As demonstrated with Brexit.
I just want politics to go back to being boring and barely in the news. I want to never hear from leaders except at their regularly alotted time.
We had that a couple years ago, it was so nice
During Trump’s first term, I identified this as the number one most annoying thing about Trump. That you don’t want the world’s biggest attention whore as president.
And the only good thing about Trump was that he didn’t actually do the job. He just watched TV and called into Fox News and took extended golfing holidays.
I still cannot comprehend how people seemed to forget this during Biden’s term, when you could actually go a week or more without hearing about the president.
They wanted a meme president (again) and they got a meme president (again). Those uneducated mouth breathers love it and want more of it. Forget governing, just own the libs bruh
This is partly why I’m alright with Keir Starmer being my Prime Minister.
Yes, I recognise my privilege, and yes, I recognise that other people are likely suffering because of his government’s policies. But there’s not a huge amount that I personally can do to change the government’s minds, and it was much, much worse under The Fucking Tories.
So for my own mental health I’m taking the view that it’s quite nice to not open the news sites and see nothing but nastiness and horror. Until I browse the world news section, that is.
The problem is is that American populist politics has bled over to everywhere else and if you aren’t flooding the zone with shit every five minutes then you may as well be invisible.
Labour are shit at social media and messaging. They’re too old fashioned. Deform are rather well adept at it.
“First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.”
Thinks back to the heady days when the Vice President misspelled potato.
Nah, Europe is complicit in genocide in Gaza. There’s no “coherency and peace” before 5pm here either.
And the EU has been on a roll recently with threatening privacy with chat control, net neutrality, rising right-wing politics in many countries. We’re not a mini america yet, but let’s not pretend it’s all roses and unicorns here, there is a lot of fighting still to be done.
Actually ‘today’ Trump is in Europe and we get to enjoy the misery already from the morning hours🤦
Cool. Got any of them cruise missiles?
You guys can keep him we will call it reverse colonization.
Sorry, no one in Europe is home right now, return to sender
In my part of the world we get Trump’s social diarrhea for breakfast.
Being in the mountain timezone, a couple hours behind Washington DC, I get to enjoy waking up every morning to a fresh new hell.
West coast checking in. I hate opening my eyes and the first thing I wonder is what fresh portal to hell opened while I slept.
Dipshit Don is losing his fucking mind to Alzheimer’s, and there’s no one left with power or money who is willing to do anything about it.
The ones with power and money are gleefully taking advantage of it.
Nobody forces you to read that shit. Feeding the outrage machine has been a major part of Trump’s success. I try to ignore this nonsense as much as possible.
You can ignore it until he invades your country
He’s already invaded my country. His personal military is occupying Minneapolis right now.
How is exposing myself to the daily shower of diarrhea going to help with that?
You can poke around with a stick and find some of their objectives. Every diarrhea post had a lost kernel of truth in it so far and the following operations pursued that like a wrecking ball.
Right now he’s busy with countries this side of the pond, and beating up American citizens with his variation on the SS.
Literally forced to see that shit. It’s nearly impossible to filter out usa related items.
