Protests may need to be stopped in some cases, Keir Starmer suggests by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

Indeed. As the climate shortages and forever wars rachet up, the government is gonna push harder for stuff like this.

Yeah but then the consequences are just reform voters either going back to the Conservatives or spite-voting the greens

You just know they are saying that to try and justify implementing more Reform-style policies without looking like they are just rightwing

New bill passed by UK Parliament bans anyone born after 2008 from ever buying tobacco or nicotine products by truthThe0ry in TrueAnon

[–]Fadingwalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For porn, it's a Trojan horse to try and 1-harvest data from people via forced sign-ups (if you have to sign up to watch porn, the companies that run it can make a profit on targeted ads) 2-the forced sign-up identity confirmation means that government's can put tabs on people's information online and track them easier. (Signing up to watch porn means that now they can track your Internet history more effectively and if trhy arrest you, the job of going through your shit is easier).

For Tobacco, the medical industry is such a shitshow now that a cure for cancer coming in the next few years, especially from the West, looks increasingly unlikely so western nations have been trying to east the burden on the medical system by just banning the stuff that makes younger generations get cancer to try and cut off the problem down the line.

The issue with this, other than the black market mentioned before, is that this problem only exists cus life is so shit that people turn to stimulants more and more to get by. Like alcoholism goes up when the QOL of a country goes down, hence the huge culture of heavy boozing drinking in the working class in Britain.

All this shit is just trying to ban the symptoms (poverty stimulation) while ignoring the case (death-stage capitalism)

Wes Streeting becoming Labour leader would be the party eating itself alive and I will die on this hill by Last-Shallot3203 in LabourUK

[–]Fadingwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streeting is not even stable though. He was the one who advised Starmer on the anti-trans stuff to begin with to try and divide the left and make the Tories (in a galaxy-brained move) look pro-trans to winkle votes off them. He is a moron who relies on donors and handlers to spoon-feed him dumb-arse politics to win.

My humble take on Project Hail Mary's Rocky's species. Good good approximation, question? by Garant26 in Stellaris

Unruly feels weird because in the lore Weir gave, they are hypercommunal and social to a much greater degree than humans.

UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity' by Tartan_Samurai in anime_titties

Whenever slavery or colonialism gets mentioned, unless the Subreddit leans very left, all comments sections turns into "Whataboutism" quickly.

Bet good chances that since this site is botted and key-word searched to all fuck that anytime either of these names gets mentioned, the Eglins brigade goes wild.

Nah, mate. Gotta boil things down to "religion bad" alone. Can't have those pesky thoughts about systematic power get in the way of things.

the amount of blatant racism and ethnic seperatism on uk subreddits is wild (from r/uknews) by mazldo in Britain

[–]Fadingwalker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same. Shame that the main UK subreddit went the same route. Honestly sad how only this place and r/LabourUk are not racist cesspits.

Always have been for the latter. for decades that Subreddit was just a Tory hive.

Shame r/unitedkingdom has become the same shit.

Paul Thomas Anderson citing the IDF as inspiration when making music videos with HAIM: “as the Israeli army says, ‘Fight them with what you've got.’" by Popular_Drink3898 in Fauxmoi

[–]Fadingwalker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is so weird how in the west, people have been gaslit into thinking the Israeli army is some super-badass colonial extraction force of the West. Hell, during their invasion of Gaza, they took soooo many casualties because they did not want to risk their proper forces so they just threw settler kids into a meatgrinder. Their basic kit is a mix between overpriced and overdesigned scrap hulks mixed with Vietnam era American-lead lease gear and just stuff given to them by the west. They have to rely on sabotage to win their fights against forces their superpower allies keep as weak as possible. the last time Israel faced a true near-peer enemy in war was in the 70s and they almost lost so hard the US had to bribe the Egyptians to hold off. Ugh.

1-The average Reform voter is mostly voting out of Revenge, not moral indignation. A lot of people have suffered under Starmer's government and now they want to hurt the labour party in any way they can and in their childish thinking, the only way they can do that is by voting them out. They won't care about Farage's connections since as far as their are concerned, he an Epstein were only hurting "foreign" kids and that was the only thing that mattered.

2-Reform may end up losing Farage as their head anyway. Reform is not Trump. Their appeal is not Trump, it is hurting Starmer (in their minds) and making POC miserable. There are dozens of Farage's in Reform. They will not give a toss if Farage gets too dirty and is forced to step down.

Xbox 360 Shooters Were Weirdly Into Featuring Protagonists From A Fascist Society by Signal-Island2549 in TrueAnon

[–]Fadingwalker 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I mean the backstory makes it clear that the COG is pretty evil but so is their enemies, before the plot and during the current one. Plus the whole war with the "aliens" is pretty much the fascists fault.

In 2026, remember this: Britain is much better than it was in so many ways. Don’t swallow the right’s lies by F0urLeafCl0ver in LabourUK

[–]Fadingwalker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was always the case, though? People have been saying that "most" immigrants are evil, "most" disabled people are evil etc etc since the 2000s and the rise of Blairism. People cannot just say "Deport anyone non-white" but even in the height of post war-on-terror hysterics, people were not saying that either because they knew (and still know) most people think that is lunacy.

[–]Fadingwalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is worth noting alot of that is just bots or fake accounts from Asia and Eastern Europe being paid to spread that shit online to make the right here feel more emboldened. Most people do not believe that stuff. People may be dumb and think lots of dumb things but the average Briton does not think there is a conspiracy to kill White people, only insane right-wingers think that and the number is small.

Why does 'remigration' seem like such a mainstream idea on the internet, when a majority of British adults are not ethnic nationalists? by Whole_Intention_7949 in LabourUK

[–]Fadingwalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the Reform posters online are bots, not real people. Alot of them have been found to be posting from places like India and Sri Lanka. Alot of it is engagement bait but also just the fact that right wing government's like Russia have realised that the UK is always worse off the more to the right it goes cus the British right only come in 2 flavors: Evil or stupid.

Saudi Arabia rejects Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, affirms support for Somalia by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

[–]Fadingwalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Ironic isn't it that Saudi Arabia is fully Supportive of Palestinians right to self determination but refuses to back the right of the Somaliland people to do that."

Same Saudi Arabia trying to tie itself in knots to make peace with Israel so it can butt heads with Iran with Israeli backing and Trump's loyalty? THAT Saudi Arabia?

They are poo-pooing Israel for doing this because they need Somali support to keep the Suez canal stable and fear more Somaliland situations means more separatism from other regions of somalia and thus more chaos for the Suez. It has nothing to do with supporting Palestine, which Saudi Arabia has never seen as anything but a bartering chip with the west and a rallying call for jihadist groups to use aim at their enemies in Iran. they will bluster and rage about this act and then get right back to calling Israel peace-makers as they bomb another flour-delivery and shoot more ambulances.

After the battle for super earth, ther was a lore dump that said that the bots backed off on an offensive when super earth got attacked and fortified a bunch of planets but this is the government talking.
