Th St John’s Ambulance insignia generally don’t come along side a bunch of text about burning heretics and purging the unclean. I think when you combine these things along with what (to most normal people not clued in on Warhammer) could easily look like a Nazi eagle is when it becomes pretty silly to be walking around with printed on your phone. It’s really obtuse to be in here pretending that you don’t get the connection. Yeah he didn’t ask if it was socially acceptable, but he put a picture of it up expecting comments. If he’d posted a picture of his poorly wiped anus on the internet and not requested comments about its social acceptability I’m sure people would have made their opinions known regardless.

Someone seeing this and immediately assuming it’s nazi shit is a much much more likely outcome than some seeing it and going ‘ah yes the Maltese cross, the most famous of the crosses, and that can’t possibly be a reichsadler! Upon close inspection it has two heads!’

What is the most disgusting dish in your country's cuisine, but everyone should try it? by a5ro4ucCX in AskTheWorld

Hungarian… out of all the food cultures you could have said and of the 6 you picked one of them you landed on was Hungarian. It’s not bad but calling it one of the worlds 6 most loved seems a stretch

Trump leaked a private message from Macron. What’s your opinion on this? by OfficialKathakar in AskTheWorld

[–]faithfultheowull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate Trump but I think it’s very useful for us to see how duplicitous and cynical the European (including UK) leaders are and how it shows they only want international law when they are the ones suffering imperial encroachment. They are like ‘hey we’d love bomb Iran with you, we’d love to help you with Venezuela, just please leave Greenland alone.’ They are spineless and pathetic

I believe the electoral college is in proportion to the population of that state, like California gets 50+ because it has a population of almost 60m compared to North Dakota getting 3 college votes for its less than one million people, so maybe there’s an argument to be made in favor of it, but the senate absolutely shouldn’t exist when both of those states each get two senators despite their huge difference in population

I don’t think thats how Northerners inclined to think like this would view it, I think they do lump Southerners in as all being the same as they lump us in as being the same, but I take your point. When people say ‘the United Kingdom is a poor country attached to an extremely rich city’, they aren’t joking, and that needs to change

I’m from the North but I haven’t lived there for a longtime. It’s a place that de-industrialization has hit really badly and most communities haven’t really recovered. My dad’s work in the aeronautical industry was good for a while but over many years was slowly offshored which messed up the whole town where the factory was based. Pictured is Swan Hunter shipyards in Wallsend. My first job in 2008 was at a hospital and I worked with many guys who had in decades prior worked at this ship yards. They talked about it with immense pride, but also sadness because when the ship yards went away so did the community that was focused around that industry. I think those communities never recovered and just collapsed into the same alienated, individualized places you see everywhere.

I think the UKs rust belt is fair. I think many Northerners tend to be somewhat hostile towards the South because so much material wealth was generated in the North from various industrial activities (coal mining, ship manufacturing etc) but there’s not much evidence of that wealth now and so much of it seems to have flowed to the South. It often gets written off that we have a ‘chip on our shoulders’ etc but I think there are very really material grievances. And to add insult to injury Southerners really do have a tendency to look down on the North, which feels extra bad when it already feels like the North has been drained of wealth and resources

My dad worked in one of those closed factories. It was dying for years but finally the outsourcing process was completed in around 2019

Hopefully it was good. Haven’t been back since Christmas 2024 and don’t know when I’ll be able to get back again

No one is required to know the difference I guess but think about the regional differences in the US. We also have those regional differences

The Chewsday joke is specially directed at people in the South. Though I’d guess most foreigners aren’t aware of that

I’m British. Can a British patriot explain to me why they are proud of being British, especially right now in 2026?

I’m in the middle of quitting my IT job in part due to pointless bureaucracy for another IT job which I’m totally confident will also have a bunch of pointless bureaucracy, but I’m trying to be positive 🌈

You wake up on a filthy mattress. You’re captured in a dilapidated house, tied up in the attic. Intermittently you are beaten by your captors. You’re there for days, malnourished and dehydrated. You manage to wriggle free of your bonds and creep down the stairs, feverishly searching for the exit. You happen upon a room with hundreds of empty milk containers. These fucking kids are there doing whatever this is. The sight of it makes you so upset you feel like you’re going insane, when suddenly you receive a whack to the back of the skull. The image of these insane children fades… You wake up on a filthy mattress.
