most unpopular PM in British history

so-far

The UK reddit thread thread is predictably filled with seething rage, mainly about the cop ~~that got hit by a sledgehammer~~ whose spine just did that.

Can't believe a British jury understood that when you defend the genocide factory, you not only deserve to get bonked, but the person who did it is innocent.

Oh no, not again!

The ONE downside to this thawing of relations, is that I truly think a major step in the reconstruction of the British psyche would have been to see the entire Royal Navy turn into artifical reefs at the bottom of the South China Sea... but I'll put my faith in the CPC to have worked out some more peaceful route to civilizing the pirate slavers of the north Atlantic.

We have always been at peace with Eastasia!

I wonder how long before the BBC stops applying the Hell Filter.

Voldemort dying to an obscure legal technicality is a perfect quantum of the liberal worldview - I feel like there's some kind of spiritual connection or a phantom here of the liberals trying to impeach Trump, except in that case nothing happened because in real life the rules don't actually matter and you don't win just cause some arcane trivia says that you should

I keep seeing a constant churn of "Look how many flag-draped coffins we spent on helping the US in its imperial wars!" posts on the front page of reddit, and I'm trying to decide whether it's organic Eurolibs indignantly pointing out their own servility, or a concerted effort by some intelligence group. It has all the consistency and persistence through a couple of news cycles of an organized propaganda push, but who would be behind it?

It's not hard to imagine the EU or an individual Euro country has the capacity to put this together and that they would have a reason to do so, but reddit is most heavily astroturfed by US intelligence agencies, who should be able to bury these posts if they wanted. Are they allowed because of disagreements within the US national security apparatus on what to do about Greenland and Europe? Do the euros have enough power to post through it regardless? Or does the US simply not care?

My most conspiratorial theory is that it's the US itself pushing these posts, because even while they superficially seem to be negative towards the US, they're actually reinforcing the idea of European loyalty towards their imperial masters, and that it's Europe that most wants this relationship to continue, in defiance of the US who wants to break with them - and once the current crisis is gone, or Trump leaves office, the Eurolibs can joyfully pledge their fealty even more strongly to the US now that it's 'back in safe hands'.

And the wild card is that it's Russia trying to put a wedge between the US and Europe, but compared to the liberal imagination, Russia's propaganda efforts in reality are much weaker and less subtle than this. It would still be extremely funny to accuse Euros of spreading Russian propaganda and trying to sow discord between the Western powers with these kind of posts.

Of course, it could just be organic and I'm still somehow underestimating the craven, kicked-dog moping of the European technocrat class.

The fascist Polish state also gladly took a slice during the partition of Czechoslovakia with Nazi Germany and Hungary.

They similarly started "Polonization" efforts in the region they controlled... for the 11 months it took before Poland was next on the menu.

I agree with that, there is certainly an element that the material abundance from superexploitation allows the liberal middle classes to be completely ignorant and incurious about the world and geopolitics, in a way that they treat it as an optional interest or almost a personality trait, unlike those suffering under the boot who have no choice but to be confronted by imperialism.

[cash register noise] $1.1 BILLION explosion

Ah, summoned again. My Lord does so enjoy that, as is His prerogative. I'll assume you're done for now.

 

now that it turns out it's 'racist white men'.

Also just learned it's a quote from a white nationalist neonazi in 1993, I never saw it used for anything other than antisemitic dogwhistling but I assumed the phrase was stolen from some liberal philosopher and taken out of a specific historical context... but no, just a neonazi.

 

Lo, did King Georgius of the Hedge, second of his name, perforce, in expansion of his realm, commission that this deed be done.

 

This story sets my blood absolutely boiling every time it comes up. A 15 year old girl was sex trafficked to Syrian extremists, by a people-smuggling ring run by a man later discovered to be a Canadian intelligence asset, was "married" within 10 days of arriving in Syria, had three children before she was 19 all of whom died, and the day after she was discovered alive in a refugee camp and expressed her wish to come home, she was illegally made stateless by the Home Secretary revoking her British passport in the name of """protecting national security""".

And these savages are literally baying for her blood, gleefully pointing out "It's not illegal because she's not stateless, she can go to Bangladesh, oh but they dispute that she's a citizen and they've said if she goes there they'll hang her for terrorism! Hahaha! pLaY sTuPid GaMeS " smuglord

but she still has extremist beliefs and won't condemn ISIS

OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES, SHE'S LIVED IN A TENT IN THE DESERT SINCE SHE WAS 15. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DERADICALIZED?? Oh, some fucking "anonymous source" in the Telegraph says she was "an 'enforcer' in IS's 'morality police'"? That's fucked up, did she like do anything or kill anyone though? No? Of course not.

These same fucking people will then turn around and shed their crocodile tears about oppression in Xinjiang. If she was Chinese she'd have been brought back, put in a deradicalization center for a few months to a year, given teaching on why her extreme beliefs were wrong along with some education and training, and now she'd be working in a garment factory or something, with a long and normal life ahead of her. Instead the compassionate, civilized West has condemned her to a legal black hole, trapped with no future in the desert camp that her children died in, for the crime of being kidnapped as a child by our own spies, to an extremist organization that, as we all know here, is a US project.

The whole thing is a perfect encapsulation of the inherent brutal, savage cruelty and criminality of western regimes and the bootlickers in their population. I try to remind myself that there are good people here who also think this is a travesty, but when I read this thread I can only get a few comments in before I get the urge, like bile rising up my throat, to scream UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD.

inshallah-script the forgiveness they have shown her, will in turn one day be shown to them.

 

Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

Video: the most normal city ever filmed

Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks... wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! avgn-horror

Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel! phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-1


Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies kim-salute

 

Laugh! Laugh at the inferiority of the untermenschen-crafted weapon! soypoint-2

Featuring such golden comment chains as:

One a/c on the assembly line. Look at manufacturing sites for F-35 and F-22. Dozens of aircraft lined up. That’s the difference.

That’s the first thing I noticed. Russian industrial capacity has literally collapsed, I never realized they were this weak. Compare that to their Chinese allies who have been able to produce an impressive number of J20s pretty fast even though the SU57 had its test flight earlier

Too many people stealing money and limiting their capabilities. Good lol*

*not like our trustworthy Raytheons and Northrop-Grummans, of course edgeworth-smug

 

For when you spy that fash-on-fash violence.

(Great minds think alike but this one has no background)
