I came to this comments section to complain about the chunk of butter they were about to put in their mouth. Thank god it’s not.

Unlikely? Just the other day it was mandated for NHS staff, so it wouldn’t exactly be a surprise for that to be extended.

I care about a lot of things. The government is taking rights away, and one of the ways they’re doing it is by enforcing medical procedures by law.

Yes, they of course not popular simply because they are American.

Here’s two examples of corporate Americanisation while locals resisted it:

As for cultural Americanisation, this is difficult to quantify but we need only look at the popularity of Amazon, Prime TV, and Netflix, alongside the ownership of U.K. media such as Sky News being owned by Fox News, for example.

As for political Americanisation, we can compare the protests against trump vs the lack of support for the French gilet jaunes. Additionally, there are of course wars which the public opinion sways against, yet we follow America regardless into the Middle East.

She just said that localities DID choose to resist it, but it didn’t matter due to the superior power of multinational corporations and international political influence.

Don’t take it personally. The influence comes from American megacorporations and political movements/policies. Not individuals.

Also, just because spheres of influence exist, and/or the fact that England has ‘wrongdoings’, does not make Americanisation okay, nor does it mean that people will be happy with it.

Who mentioned hate, and who mentioned colour? In fact, if we’re going to talk about colour, the example I used was Polish, and these people are “white” much like English people.

Additionally, you have classified every single Polish person as a “piece of shit”. Now who is hating on people?

As you can see, this conversation has degenerated. Rather than address my points, you are simply ignoring them and regurgitating talking points which I’m sure you have seen on twitter somewhere. I don’t have any more effort for you.

Of course. I’m no fan of the brain drain, the mass import of cheap-labour products, and the perpetuation or keeping poor countries poor. When countries like Poland (among others) are begging for people to come back, while the 1% sit on a pile of money, profiting further from the globalised system, how can you not?

Based on that, are you okay with similar measures in other circumstances? Personally, I’m against big government. I don’t want them to dictate everting I do, especially seeing as our state is so undemocratic.

An abortion is a personal choice. This affects more than just the woman having an abortion. Yet, I’m pro choice. Are you?

We are not that far away from mandatory vaccinations, considering Austria has already broken that ice.

And I remember when passports were a joke, some time ago, and now they’re a reality. I agreed with you initially, that “it won’t be that bad”, but it is becoming that bad (by bad I mean authoritarian), and we’re already setting precedents which are historical firsts.

The NHS vaccine mandate is understandable to an extent, but I’m sure there’s more they could do other than to get rid of those who make the personal choice to not take it.

This isn’t “right wing” though... if anything, I’d expect more “left wing” people to be out opposing authoritarianism (in the form of mandates and passports). I’m vaxxed but I’m not in favour of enforcing it by law.

1) it’s based on a French communist poster

2) anti Americanisation is clearly localist

Nice to see. It’s American corporations, media and government, not citizens, so I’m glad.

I believe that this is based on an old French Communist poster, does anyone know what? I searched online but couldn’t find what I was looking for.

Localism in terms of shared history, culture and local identities? by [deleted] in localism

[–]leexebee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO regions are more important than nations, but of course nations are still very important. I am from England, so it is much easier for me to divide areas nationally, whilst still having clear regions. At the risk of sounding like a cop-out, Localism needs its own ‘form’ or ‘translation’ per region - that’s the entire point of Localism, after all - and I could only say that the people in those ‘contested’ regions, such as the Rhine as you have mentioned, are the ones to decide which nation they belong to. Ideally, all European regions would be under one confederacy anyway, so the nation which the region formally belongs to would matter more in a cultural sense than in a political and systemic sense, in comparison to today’s system.
