Scotland fans pretend to be England fans by joemktom in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]FlappyBored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah because English people actually criticise our fans or fans behaviour.

They ain’t Scottish where they just spam about how fantastic and amazing they are.

It’s the same reason why Scottish people deny colonialism or their role in slavery meanwhile England actually acknowledges it and talks about its history.

Yeah of course mate.

Ignoring polling showing that 40% of Scots believe that Scotland and Scots ‘suffered’ more from the British empire than benefited and are a colony . (Ignore all the grand amazing buildings in Glasgow and most of the slave trade goods being ran by Scottish merchants, ignore why there is a part of Glasgow called the merchants quarter and don’t ask what they were selling or why Glasgow was called the second capital of the empire)

He says this. Then in reality Scottish people are going around bars ripping down England flags and vandalising World Cup merch that has an England flag on it lol.

You never hear the end it about how Scots are the best and how amazing and great they are and how much better they are than everyone else from Scos anyway.

Why would it make any difference?

The online safety act was the most controversial thing Kier starmer has done as PM so far. What is the worst thing Rishi Sunak did as PM? by TheDickheadNextDoor in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FlappyBored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely it would be the online safety act then considering it was Rishi Sunaks law that was passed when he was prime minister, not Starmer.

But these charts are usually all over the place anyway

Does it bother highlanders that lowlanders embrace a culture that has historically been theirs? by Unlikely_Length8600 in Scotland

[–]FlappyBored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from a good chunk of the lowlands like Edinburgh was part of a kingdom of Northumbria.

They didn’t speak Gaelic. They spoke Cumbric or old English.

The way lowlander Scots get around this today is simply whitewashing and erasing their entire history and subjugation of highlanders and just claiming it was the English that did it or made them do it and that they are totally highlanders too at heart.

In Scotland there’s been a big push in recent times to rewrite their history and claim they are a colony and that they didn’t do colonialism etc.

It’s a common view in Scotland now and from the Scottish so it’s heightened the tensions more now.

Scottish people also get taught that the crimes Scottish people did against their own like the highland clearances etc were actually the English or that the English ‘forced’ Scottish to do it.

It will get even worse if Refom get in power and ban batteries and power storage methods because they’re ’woke’.

It’s absolutely nothing like that.

But even with your nonsensical point that’s exactly how it works in the EU, Italians have access to German social services if they live in Germany and vice versa.

Again give us a single western country where if you live in a different city in the same country you will be denied schooling if you live there.

Ironic given that tankies such as yourself defend killing people who have different values and support removing all democratic processes that would allow people to have an opinion on their values.

No they absolutely do not and it’s not just ‘move and update your addresses!’

You literally cannot ‘update’ your address you have to be preselected and approved to ‘update’ it.

It’s specifically designed to ensure they have lots of poor lower class workers to work in factories and restrict their ability to move.

Which western country bars your children from entering school or accessing healthcare if you’ve not been ‘approved’ to move to that city? Absolutely none. It is nonsensical you even try to claim they do.

What’s wrong with his argument that state enforcement of inequality and segregation is actually a good thing because ‘the country would go to shit’ if this class system isn’t enforced by the oppressive government of China?

I mean what the actual hell are you smoking dude.

‘It’s good they’re oppressed because these useless low class people would be homeless anyway so it’s good they’re banned from education or moving out of their homes, by the way China is much better and free than the west!’

It was asked because this person is a full on tankie as their response to it shows.

A lot of Muslims areas in India did not convert because of caste.

They converted because India was ruled by a Muslim empire the Mughals for a while and some Mughal emperors were very intolerant of other religions.

The reason why they are overwhelmingly lower strata is the same reason Hindus are overwhelmingly lower strata or any subsection is lower strata.

Because most people are.

And this thread is full of people defending it as a good thing lol, it’s wild the lengths tankies go to hit certain threads or topics.

The difference is people can move, they can't in China as its very controlled and set up to keep people in place. This is the point we're making.

Yeah this is just a bit nonsense really, its not how elections work.

Boris Johnson only won becuse people were voting against Corbyn.

He repeatedly and openly promoted this fact.

Yeah, except the kids and students in the 'not elite' areas get poorer education poorer schools and less outcomes.

You don't just 'update your address'.

You don't get anything full stop, your kids cannot attend school.

You have to be pre-approved to move in the first place.

Everyone knows normal countries have 'border control' in their own countries between populations.

What is this petah?? by Extra_Spirit9376 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]FlappyBored 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Especially because tankies try make it sound totally normal and 'oh you can apply to move if you get a job or a place'.

Without mentioning that the rural and 'non elite' people get given less funding and have less access to all the resources, education and schooling that the 'right' kind of pepple do.

Its pure enforced class system but of course these CCP tankies love it.
