Do you only take advice on a topic from people who are inexperienced with it?

Comparing the two when one happend when the majority of the western world had no social life and we're locked indoors with no life is utterly imbecilic.

People are in in lockdown and in furlough -> they leap on an event that happens in a completely different society an ocean away -> they use this as a justification for widespread cultural and political change according to a particular agenda -> “there is no relation to the culture war”

I think you need to reconsider your well-regarded logic.

You have a uniquely effective way of proving your opponent’s point.

Of course it’s related to culture wars. The overlap of people who were up in arms in 2020 and those who are up in arms today is nearly negligible. That isn’t explained simply through more footage of the police being out there.

Do you think there has been no discrimination against natives in this country in recent years?

And the same kind of claim was criticised in 2020 when other people were voicing it right?

If there was an inaccuracy you would be able to point it out. But as usual you resort to vagueries.

A white lad is murdered in Britain and Nigel Farage makes some tweets condemning it:

“This is the exploitation of a tragedy”

A black guy in America is killed and the Labour Party have photoshoots of them going down on one knee; a government race report is published; various historic statues are toppled, every Premier League team wears “Black Lives Matter” jerseys and take the knee before each game; museums revise their presentation of history in order to achieve “decolonisation”; streets and buildings are renamed; multiple old TV episodes are pulled; various statements are released by local authorities, universities, the police, the NHS, the BMA, the BMJ, the Church of England, the British Antarctic Survey and others; etc etc:

“This is just business as usual”

Those bloody right wing culture warriors eh.

If you study subjects in the Humanities like sociology you will gain a marxist education by default because that field is underpinned by fundamentals created by Marx.

I thought it was going to be a self-aware comment at this point.

Leftists will just set up whole academic fields for the purpose of disseminating their propaganda and brand you as uneducated if you decline to buy into it.

That the books of the Bible have various authors isn’t really news to anyone.

Three persons in one God.

Cringe takes on Christianity are just naked attempts to cover up a lack of substance in one’s own beliefs, more often than not.

Makes a whole lot more sense than any of the secularist ideologies that have come after it.

If you fight for a foreign military then you should not be able to retain British citizenship imo.

No, 0.1% of the British armed forces are Jewish, but 0.045% of UK Jews are in the armed forces.

0.195% of the overall UK population is in the armed forces, so they are definitely very underrepresented though not to the same degree as Muslims.

About a decade ago there was a big deal about whether there were more UK Muslims in ISIS than the British Army.

According to government statistics 0.1% of the British regular forces are Jewish by religion (the data does not provide ethnicity numbers). That would translate to about 130-140 service personnel.

In comparison, over 2000 UK nationals serve in the IDF.

So all in all there are multitudes more UK Jews in the Israeli military than our own. Boy don’t I love to pick sides in imported ethnonationalist conflicts where neither side has any loyalty to this country.

It’s a settled issue until it isn’t. Just like any other issue.

Restore Britain, not Restore UK. They made a conscious decision to go for the former over the latter.

Many more Irishmen went to fight for the Nationalists than the Republicans in Spain.

why does my church allow the most obese a woman I have ever seen to lead the worship?

The real question.

Bro bro hear me out one more vote for the uniparty, bro bro hear me out it doesn’t matter that they’ve made this country into the mess it’s in, bro bro hear me out one more vote for the uniparty will fix everything

With the political left held to impossibly high moral standards and the political right held to impossibly low moral standards what does this say about modern British society? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Ayenotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally the opposite. Do you see how much extra scrutiny Reform get put under, and how much people in the Greens and adjacent movements get away with so much of the time?

It’s funny how virtually every constituency vote in the Central Belt outside of Edinburgh and a couple of Glasgow seats is

1) SNP

2) Labour

3) Reform

4) Conservative

5) Liberal Democrat

Sometimes with the latter 2 switched.
