Yes this is an important thing to understand. People are interested in their own lives and a crazy ruler is just a form of entertainment in most people's lives. If they are effective with delivering quick economic results then they are good entertainers and are delivering some positives then fine - so why think more about this? It's demeaning to even take a fascist seriously so why bother doing so? In Germany we know why.

It is worrying that the far right parties are gaining to much support in Europe, and we should never take our eye off the ball and learn from history what can happen when you do...

You speak like leftism is the only legitimate political ideology.

Sadly we going to be finding out very soon that the majority of Americans want a semi-Fascist state the same with the uk population too

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no left what we have are a bunch of globalists run by the rich (WEF) pretending to be left(the right aint much better) while sending lots of our tax payers cash and weapons to a bunch of nazi`s who took over Ukraine in a coup financed by the US who by the way also funded the 3rd Reich and only joined the fight in Europe when it looked like their little puppet the mad Austrian was going to get his butt kicked and Germany occupied by the Red Army.
Their plan is sinister it is to send all you youngsters to die in battle so they dont end up with a pension crisis after stealing all the pension monies.
Yes the 3rd great human cull has already started.

ring really reminds me of the gestapo, they rolled almost exclusively through ordinary informants. people with fucked up biases are having their day.

The 1st thing Goebels did was put a device in everyone's home.

why do they keep designing things to look like hal? doesnt anyone remember how the movie ends?

I usually pass out way before the end

not to worry its the worst part

where there are informants there is vendetta, blackmail and corruption

Any smart device

Why the dystopian views are always referred to Nazism and not to Communism? They are basically the same shit, and Communism looks much more dangerous to me, because it "succeeded" for many more years, in many more countries, and for some reason has that glamorous look to so many idiots...

Germany became increasingly polarized with people espousing Marxism on one side and Law and Order on the other. This is exactly how it feels in America now.

LOL very interesting take on history there

? pretty much the mainstream view on this for germany as well as austria and italy

AND JUST LIKE IN NAZI GERMANY YOU HAVE PEOPLE BEING APOLOGISTS BECAUSE OF "COMMUNISM". AT LEAST IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING COMMUNISM BACK THEN AND NOT JUST WHATEVER IS NOT ON THE RIGHT

and fucking communism works wonders for the ugly

from each according to his sperm

Watching the Plot Against America on Sky and it’s easy to see how Facism takes hold. Not dissimilar to Trump’s America.

In times of economic and political strife extremists always rise, whether left or right wing...it doesn't matter, they are reactionary's. For example the liberal left intend destruction of things about history that upset them much in the same way Nazi's in Germany burned books. People need to learn from History and rarely do, the same mistakes are repeated and things somehow trundle on. 'Good times bring weak people', 'Weak people bring bad times', 'Bad times bring strong people' & 'Strong people bring good times'. The great circle of human history.

I thought it was the republicans (ie the right) in America banning certain aspects of history they don’t like.

Who are the liberal left?

Edit
I’m not trying to start an argument I’m trying to understand

lol it's different in different countries. A conservative in the US is different from a conservative in the UK.

As an example the BLM movement (btw I support equal rights for all races, genders etc.) have tried to expunge slavery and that part of history. Taking down statues of former slaveholders and so on won't change anything, we must remember these things happened so that they don't happen again.

Because of slow or no change for certain groups there is an attempt to accelerate that change from an evolution to a revolution. People will only be backed into a corner for so long whatever their political inclinations. Some people think they're pushing for positive change but real change is when we've learned the lesson.

Thanks for the response mate.

I still don’t get the tearing down statues of slave owners equates to trying to erase the history. Statues aren’t history they glorify the subjects for posterity.

Is it still a massive issue over there around the teaching of CRT?

Well the statues are an example. They are subjects for posterity but they also memorialise history and certain points in history. As such they connect themselves to that history.

I basically agree with you though, they aren't the history themselves and so it shouldn't matter. It's what they represent that makes the difference.

I feel that whether right or left wing, people have an agenda and push that. Both different sides of the same coin I'd say.

Also CRT?

Thanks for the response mate.

I see statues as a way to venerate the individual and what they stand for. Cultures generally don’t put up statues of twats. So the slavers statues should all come down imo.

CRT
Critical Race Theory

Yeah np, I don't mind a bit of debate.

Again I do agree with the first part of what you said. Statues certainly venerate people, but also events. However cultures not putting up statues of 'twats'...well...that's a matter of perspective.

There are many examples of people that put up statues of people who are considered great or influential in their time and place. Those same people and statues are considered later, or by another group to be somehow offensive or detestable.

I'm not gona say that something like slavery in the U.S. wasn't a terrible thing, it defo was. I do think that removing something that is generally offensive to the majority should be considered. It's just that we also need to learn from these things and replace them with something that educates people about the history surrounding them so as to understand the bigger picture.

But yeah CRT, I am familiar with it...bit of a deep and complicated topic. But to answer your original question about that, yes I believe it is still something of a hot topic within education in the UK. I believe the Tories here (conservatives) said they felt CRT was biased, in other words trying to ram anti-racism down kids throats without opposing viewpoints.

This is a quote from the Equalities Minister, "Any school which teaches these elements of critical race theory, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law".

So yeah interesting, jeez this turned into an essay XD

Thanks man I do appreciate your time and input.

It’s good to hear it from someone on the ground so to speak we just get fed what the media want us to hear

I do find CRT and the defund the police movements different. One is a collection of scholars etc critically evaluating how society has impacted people of all races and the defund the police is a social movement in response to innocent black people getting killed by police

Have I got that right?

You sound very naïve & to support CRT is crazy, hope you don't spout the sort of nonsense politics we see above IRL.

I don’t know how supporting a data driven legal critical evaluation by experts as naive maybe I’m missing something in your post as it doesn’t really make sense and yes i do discuss this topic and others with real people

an act of desecration is often more a monument of history than the original statue

this old post is aging disturbingly well

poison his filler

That ain't filler. The man appears to be on a fairly big dose of steroids. I'd imagine he's quite unwell and probably not long for this world.

If he hasn’t got long, this makes him very dangerous. Coupled with the fact a lot of the drugs elderly take effect the mind without them knowing.

I fear ill health is wishful thinking. Looks like he's spent a bundle on plastic surgery to me. That said, it's probably better for a lot of people if he's not at death's door.

At times....his face looks like its projected and stretched across a 3D model...

i was stretched across a 3d model just last night

If only we could “fast forward to the bit where he shoots himself in the bunker”…..followed by eternal damnation in the flames of Hell fire with a red hot pitchfork up his bum hole.
Seems fair 👍

put a real fighter in the ring

you people are to susceptible to propaganda

Biden laughing all the way to the bank. While UK, Europe suffers...

Ukraine is too kind to fight Russia for the USA/West.

USA don't want Nord stream 1 or 2 to exist! And voile it's happening now!

America want this war. Remember it was Biden and Bojo that pulled Zelensky away from peace talks back in 2022

The people are waking up, this is a sick thread, nato wants war not putin.
they forced putins hand to invade ukraine.
9/11 was an inside job and the vaccine wasnt a vaccine.
i could go on but whatever, chemtrails suck too.

I find it fascinating that governments happily admit to chemtrails be used aswell as geoengineering yet it's still called a conspiracy. The war in Ukraine can go back to 2008 when they first stated their intention to join Nato. Putin reiterated then how that would unfold so we pushed the button again in 2014. Remember what's good for goose is good for the gander. If the US didn't like missiles in Cuba, why would we expect Russia wouldn't feel hard done by expanding east constantly

Much respect Ninja my friend👍

And to you mate. Question everything. Assume nothing.

See, I hear that, but people only question what they don't agree with, or in the case of some people, what they're told not to agree with.

What security guarantees did Russia offer Ukraine though? You must know that Ukraine was rightfully concerned in 2008, Russia had occupied Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, who was to be next?

Ultimately, nobody but the arms manufacturers want war, but Ukraine cant surrender without losing their identity and half their lands. Their future is fucked. Not that anyone that supports Russia even gives a flying fuck about that.

The Minsk agreements seemed fair to me . Crimea has always been Russian and the Donbas wanted independence but would rather ally with Russia than the West . A lot of Ukrainians already considered themselves Russian , so they wouldn't lose their culture .

It's going to be a mess and your entirely right in what you say about arms dealers being the only profiteers of war.

I only see it ending with either Ukraine giving up the 4 Oblasts and agreeing to never join Nato or.. Russia surrender due to it escalating and somehow we avoid nuclear catastrophe. Both choices are so wide apart im not sure what could make up the middle ground.

If Ukraine was to surrender their lands, then I'd say only if they were entered into NATO, which enables their future security, and the lands would need to be demilitarised.

Chemtrails = early death for humans

even propagandists have real enemies

Tell ye what, if time was reversed and we were being invaded or attacked by a foreign power, I damn well hope there will be nations that would support us.

There is fuck all to defend with Russia in invading Ukraine, but 'Merica bad, lets not question things and support Russia.

I love America . They're our cultural and genetic relatives after all , but the globalists have steered America in the wrong direction .
The Ukraine was bombing the Donbas for eight years before Putin came to their aid and invaded . Many of them were happy for the help . Just like you would be if someone was bombing you for eight years .
I'm very much on the side of the Anglo-sphere but right is right and we never should have attacked the Donbas . We started this war and used Ukraine as the proxy . They should never have fought Russia .

totally if you want the truth just read pravda

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

this guy will pay a million for the effort

crowd source this and you can make it a billion

That's a fed up topic honestly.
No one should wish anyone death. All I can say is that I dont trust any governments at all, let it be Russia,China or USA/Nato member countries. All of these govs are doing shady things, acting in their own aswell as corporate interests. Not trying to hate, but if you wanna see putin dead you should also wanna see many other international leaders/presidents dead. All I can say that I condone wishing anyone a tragic or painful death.

You wouldn't have wished death upon Hitler? Oaft.

he needs to show his comrades that he isn't bunkered this means he is looking at regular strategy meetings in person with people easier to follow. his makeup and camera crew are all regulars and dont have a lot of security around them normally.

Chinese Burn. Followed by Nipple Gripple. Followed by Novichock.

Can’t believe someone hasn’t shot/ poisoned the evil cunt tbh. (They like a bit of poison do the Russians)
Trouble is he would just be replaced by another one,cut from the same cloth I fear. Still can’t believe after all we went thru with covid, his first response afterwards was fucking war! He is the very definition of little man syndrome. 😡

slowly pick off his team while they eat at restaurants,say expose them to a virus.

Putin is the only adult in the room right now . While our Western leaders are all desperate to start ww3 , he is showing restraint .
If Putin was assassinated , someone far worse would take his place . In Russia he's considered a moderate .
Thank God for Putin . May him and Donald find an agreeable solution . And lets hope the Western globalists don't kill us all before then .

you don't need to kill him, just cut off every communications channel he has.

Exploding cigar, like Castro? Lol

he just needs to smoke some pot and chill the fuck out, and suck some dick, poor guy has a lot of tension.

Western government should also chill out. There's always a agenda that we wont know about

I think there's a problem with the word authority. Some authorities are voluntarily recognised by people as experts so their opinions are amplified. Seems like a really good thing.

The other kind is an authority imposing power upon you through a monopoly, usually a monopoly on violence.

Humans should trust humans.
If we don't trust human beings who are we going to trust?

I am
Sure the Incas took that view until the conquistadors arrived. Humans screw humans more now than any time in history

we need less screwing and more ..screwing

More banging too

that would be banging

real talk!

code.

Authority Exists because we are Herds. Authority exists because we give it value or Authority to!!!!

So in fact there IS or NO authority exists outside ourselves.... Cuz we give Value!!!

So authority is actually you .... You decide whether to follow it or not --- You are Authority who is looking for Authority and asking why we need authority

It only exists if you want it to (Collectively)

Governments ultimately own everything simply because they have the guns.

I feel that inheritance tax is a good thing, however, it should not go to the treasury, but instead to the local authority. In this way it benefits the community they were a part of, rather than a meaningless black hole of untraceable generic funding, that is as likely to be spent on Boris Johnsons security guards as it is something actually worthwhile. I feel the same about funds of closed companies automatically going to the treasury. It should be used locally where they need the money.

You would increase inequality between areas in this way. Kensington and Chelsea would pick up millions Sunderland much less. Over the years the effect would be disastrous if the sums were large.

Nope. The most recent HMRC statistics show less than 4% of estates paid inheritance tax in 2020–21. This will probably rise to over 7% by 2032–33. Only the most wealthy estates pay it.

the most wealthy estates do not pay, they have trusts, declarations of agriculture or business.

that's why a third of the fucking country is in the hands of "nobility".

Because if you don't the entire wealth of the country would be in the hands of a tiny group of people living on inherited wealth and enjoying the benefits of rent and compound interest. I will lose a reasonable sum to inheritance tax on my death and although it's annoying I also recognise that it's unavoidable if we are going to have a society with any degree of equity or hope for 95% of people. Compound interest over 100s of years creates massive fortunes often in terms of land and property these are finite resources. You can also gift huge amounts to your children before you die, if you get rid ten years before you pop your clogs IHT doesn't get it.

people say this and they wont pay much after deductions. like how much money do you have? I bet its not enough to warrant the complaint. but in other news, why dont you complain about what they spend the money on? a healthy tax base and actually interesting spending is great, you build pretty great place to live that way. Instead its gazilllions in civil service wages for them to do nonsense tasks for 60 years. or NHS spending that allows people with a bent toe to get sattelite laser surgery costing 5trillion. shit like that, complain about spending not tax.

Does it not bother you that your inheritance has already been taxed by the person it belonged to, then again once inherited by that same government?..

It's total unacceptable, morally and ethically wrong on many levels..

I couldn't care if they want to spend however much on certain things, what I do care about is getting scammed by the government by taking a double stab at you with your inheritance.


Look at pensions now, working all your life paying stamp for pensions. Once you retire and you start claiming it, you get taxed again?

Can someone else surely see the wrong doing by here?..

If someone dies they want you to pay tax, if you get paid they want you to pay tax, even when you bloody eat you pay taxes, good job there isn't a sleeping tax aswel ffs

what shit. as someone already said: less than 4% of estates paid inheritance tax in 2020–21. This will probably rise to over 7% by 2032–33. Only the most wealthy estates pay it.

This is what the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. We should tax inheritance at 80% over a few million quid, that'd fix the fucking schools. Or do you prefer toffs to have a better bottle of wine then schools that don't leak when it rains?

I'd prefer not to have my money stolen in the 1st place than beseeching to a plutocracy to get a little back.

and those roads you walk on, and the parks and schools? Who pays for those if not us? Calling taxation stolen money makes you sound like a MAGA lunatic.

Feel free to go live in the forest in some third world country if you don't want to pay tax to make a better world for all. Oh, you've not done that? why ever not?

in those countries you apparently despise the worst narco terrorists dribble out these same trinkets. yet they don't come close to the kill rate. governments are by far the largest murderers on the planet and taxes (effectively collected at gunpoint) are what pay for it. this has been consistent throughout history.

but hell yes id be happy to pay for parks, recreation and lots of things short of murder and plutonic corruption.

The infrastructure of the country is what has allowed an individual to accumulate the wealth. If someone is so greedy that they think it is preposterous to pay inheritance tax they are free to live elsewhere. The problem of the ultra-wealthy finding ways around paying any taxes at all is another issue of course. And yes the country is still mired in feudalism hence the landed gentry still being around and anachronisms such as hereditary peers sitting in the house of lords.

Free to live elsewhere?

Governments claim ownership of you at birth (many insist you pay taxes even if you don't live in them). And no, there is no freedom to enter any country let alone reside in them.

Nobody's taxing a dead person, they're free to take it with them.

Unearned wealth and unearned status keep us in our servitude.

If we can shut down the fucking world for a tiny population of vulnerable people can we just give up war for the rest of us?

true this

If all borders were open there would be an attempted global caliphate followed by world war... Islam vs. Rest of World. CCCP picks up the pieces.

The thing to keep in mind is that border controls did not exist for most of human history. It's not so much that technology is disabling them as it enabled them to begin with. Roads and air transport, enabled by nation's that consolidated public needs are how we got the borders. As people increasingly gain the ability to transact wihtout the state the borders will decline.

Nice theory fellas

Would work perfectly if they didn't control nearly every legislature, dictator or other potential enforcer of this liability.

very true

i like to see the humanitarian side of this website

its awesome and it fills me with happiness to see people understand first of all, and secondly more importantly...care <3

Fight for World peace

Fighting for world peace sounds a little ironic;)

Don't forget the banks that finance the wars there winning big!

Its people like Phillip may(teresa mays husband) and Paul kenward (Victoria atkins husband uks old drugs minister responsible for uks drugs policy) who are at the head of this.

They both own alot of UK sugar and BAE.
Not only controlling alot of the world's arms but also their medicinal mj supply with Sativex and 50% of the uks sugar supply.

Half the problem is with countries that have enormous military budgets. They need wars to justify spending obscene money on their military. It's cheaper to buy an M4 and thousands of rounds in the US than it is for hospital treatment. We don't realise how good we have it in the UK, but capitalism is the problem. It'll take nuclear fallout to change anything, and the way Ukraine is going, we're not far off.

If we normalise the idea of nuclear fallout (say make an awesome franchise out of it) we have already taken the biggest step.

but don't give up on us jc

My favourite example of this, is the Belgium firearm manufacturer’s (FN) involvement in the falklands war. The Brits used the FN SLR, and the Argentinians used the FN FAL. FN armed both sides.

Yes since corporations survive governments this gives them something to think about. The question is how to hold them liable especially if they are on the winning side, and we know how they hedge their bets.

In your frankly disgusting attempt at gaslighting this guy, not only have you failed in every possible way and clearly missed the actual point due to your own ignorance, but you've also exposed yourself as the ignorant idiotic one!

not only are his writing skills PERFECTLY fine, but it's completely irrelevant, his point was perfectly clear and understandable and calls for no spell checks or extra grammar, you are THE typical reddit grammar nazi, ignoring the immensely important and perfectly understandable point the topic was about and getting hung up over the placement of a full stop or a capital letter, YOU are the one being ignorant here!

and to top it all off, your laughable attempt at gaslighting him again with the "corporations are businesses" bullshit, i'm embarrassed for you exposing such flawed logic... so if i own a corporation thats deals in child sex trafficking, that's ok is it? because "i'm exchanging money for products and services" that makes it fine? jesus christ did you even think before you wrote this utter nonsense? or were you just too caught up in trying to give yourself a big pat on the back over your good but essentially pointless writing skills?

why do so many people like you exist and what makes you think the way you do? it's so fucking unfortunate and you are a HUGE part of the problem of why the world is as fucked and irreparable as it is.

Wow... You strawmanned the arse off of him in a massive triggered sperg. Also, 'Jesus' has an uppercase 'J'. Much love.

shit: if you don't give it you take it.
