Things that are OK in the UK - Genetically engineering your children

Embryos are doable because their small and not completely dependent on functional systems for stuff like eating.

So is feeding them hormones to change their gender

Things that are illegal in the UK - taking your baby go overseas to get experimental treatments

-to try and save its life

i got a better one Blackhawk 😉

The internet police are onto you, good sir.

Hope you have an active Jail loicense.

i don't live in the UK

You can't harm me! 😄

That's what you think.

Watch out for the black helicopters.

hey guys! the communist party just mailed me a coupon for a free helicopter ride 😄 zomg

Lmfao

Jesus Tim made the most accurate metaphor about the sjw movement

It's an autoimmune disorder

interesting comparison

It's so perfect

When there was racism, social justice activist did a good job of fighting against it

But now that's there's no racism at the same level, they still keep fighting

Attacking things like comedy and entertainment

And even basic manners

Bunch of dragon slayers and they out of dragons

So they accuse people of being dragons

To remain relevent

nah, i think its more comparable to cancer

It will grow if you don't cure it soon,
And then metastasise to OTHER parts of your body (society/games/movies/comics)
And grow there too

and Ultimately it wants to reach government (brain) and you'll die

unless you take chemo (dank memes 😂 )

I have no idea what a social justice government would look like

*points at the DNC*

I think mussolini talked about it in one of his speeches, but im not sure he implemented those ideas or that his definition applies today

nah I doubt even SJW's truely appreciate the point of Social Justice,

They just use it to justify their monsterous actions by making it sound morally justified

Eh

It really depends on the group and person

@Blackhawk342 Sweden

They literally call themselves a feminist government

They paid a woman 30000 SDK to go to France and put on a burkha

That feels like something that they didnt do, at least without context

Though im really leaning towards 'that never happened'

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38956212

Tried to google it, this is all i got

@Scarlet here, Swedish but translate will help https://argblattetalar.blogspot.com/2017/02/skattepengar-till-kriminalitet-utomlands.html

It was 100000 sdk, not 30000 sorry

Oh, and it was a city

City government, not federal

Seems like it was some kind of protest move

in regards to frances ban

They're spending tax dollars on useless art projects

While their elderly are suffering

It's a city government

These guys arent really connected to the federal government of sweden

They're just local politicians doing something rather silly

doesn't city governments get tax money as their funding?

Yep

Sort of, the exact system depends on country

They often make their money from local taxes

thats still taxpayer money?

They also had new feminist period art installed in subway stations
https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/stockholm/ny-konst-i-tunnelbanan

Well yeah

But the point here is that you cant really say 'The federal government is wasting money'

Better example. Just look at the administration of Universities.

Pretend tuition is taxes.

Not quite a whole state, but I think it's what they idealize.

@Deleted User Why do they have jam coming from their undies wtf

suppose to go on your toast

Government officials in Sweden fund their parties with tax money too
http://www.bt.se/nyheter/forsakringskassan-stallde-in-fest-skattebetalarna-nota-36-000-kronor/

pls answer question

There are places in the US that do this. It always ends up in the hands of incumbents somehow.

@Franken the answer is in the post.

It's a fucked up government

But it hasn't gone full social justice yet

Canada is pretty close too

I dunno about that.

Trudeau can be a goon, but overall i really dont feel our government has gone SJW.

That's why I said *close*

I dont really think we're close either

To be clear

@pratel but why jam

Canada will probably become more right wing next election.

I kinda hope not. Im really not a fan of SJW like shit, and some of Trudeaus antics, but im even less of a fan of the conservative party here.

I got this weird feeling a reaction to Trudeau is building behind the scenes.

Trudeau is a Social Justice PM and he's moved policy in that direction. ("feminist budgets" and things like denying funding to pro-life groups for summer programs being key examples)

But it's being met with growing resistance.

He has, but as far as ive seen its almost all been very token

Hence why im still just very meh on him.

Man i miss Jack Layton

NDP is electing shitty leaders, Conservatives are pretty shit right now, and the liberals are Trudeau

I just find myself really not being a fan of anybody

It's a less extreme version of how i feel about US politics

I think that's the new normal for everybody at some level.

Furthermore, coalitions shift.

In the US we are in the middle of a very big shift right now.

Once the Democrats come to power and fracture, the shift will be complete.

They can't hold their current divisions entirely.

Or if they do, it would be one **** of an act. Social Justice being the likely glue.

In which social justice would only get more extreme.

The only party we have that is consistently against increasing surveilence powers/compromising what 'free speech' rights we have, is the NDP, but they've seemingly been taken in by the SJW shit thats going around, despite having been mostly above it historically (At least in terms of race/gender/etc)
Though probably not as bad as the liberals with Trudeau

Liberals have seemed really willing to compromise those rights along with the Conservatives

Before 2013, I'd have thought that would be the Democrats. Then social justice happened. And now look where things are. The ACLU is backing away from free speech and there's fake news bills being passed around California.

Who knows anymore.

See

Our analogs for US parties are as follows

Conservatives are a more mild version of republicans

Liberals are quite similar to democrats

NDP is the further left leaning party

They're more.... old school though?

Or at least used to be.

Hence my comment about Jack Layton, which was their leader until 2011

Old school meaning old school socialist?

Kind yeah. NDP was formerly a outright Socialist party, but toned that down somewhat in the late 90's/early 2000's

Not sure how to explain it really

Comparing them to people like Bernie in the US i think actually doesnt work that well

Do they map well to Cortez?

No, not really.

Ok. try this.

Chavez? Castro? 😄

No :p

Guevera?

No.

This was their platform last election

If you read carefully, they mention repealling Bill C-51

The 'anti terrorism' bill

Which is a massive part of why i liked them that election

They were the only party interested in doing that.

Stance on:
1) Minimum Wage.
2) Rent control
3) Nationalization of industries
4) Firearms
5) vices (alcohol, weed, violent media)
6) Social Justice (as defined by feminism and racial politics)
7) Preferred taxes

The platform is useful, but it seems pretty par for the course for Canada from what I can tell.

damnit i misread that last part "Crack down on Senate expenses and LOBSTER Conflict, interest laws" 😦 i was so excited

Oh, two others I forgot, preferred subsidies and defense spending.

1) Dont think they had one. But they're a party that would like a relatively high one.
2) Never mentioned really. Not that ive seen. That kinda goes for all parties in the 2015 election. More of a local issue?
3) NDP is pro-nationalization for industries Canada has tradtionally had nationalized (Hydro is the big thing. Conservatives moved to privatize, NDP strongly dislikes this.)
4) No comment. Canadians are generally quite happy with their firearms laws, though im sure some gun people would prefer them loosened. It's not a big debate here, and wasnt talked about from what i saw.
5) Fine with vices, probably would consider legalizing marijuana like Trudeau is doing, but didnt run on it.
6) Talk about it alot less then Liberals, but some of what the individual party members have said, especially in 2017/2018 makes me feel bleh. I think they'd be significantly more mild about it then liberals though, more worried about class like traditional leftist politics, then race/femininism
7) Liberals have a habit of increasing spending, without compensating enough with revenue. NDP would like to both increase spending and increase taxes. (IIRC they wanted to increase spending by a similar amount to liberals, but actually talked about raising taxes to pay for it. Liberals kinda avoided talking about how they would pay)

Our parties, as of the 2015 election kind of end up
Conservatives : Right
Liberals : Centre Left
NDP : Left

Traditionally the liberals have been centrist or centre right though.

And they tend to vote with conservatives more often then NDP

Sounds like Sanders to me.

On the tax question, what I really meant was if given the choice between say an excise tax or an income tax, which would they choose.

The flier indicated a desire to cut the business tax for 'small' businesses, which seemed kinda odd for a traditional left party.

excise tax?

Alcohol.

Oh yeah, they did run on that.

Cigarettes.

Stuff like that.

Carbon.

They wouldnt really do that. Again more of a local thing here?
Carbon tax they would do though.

Trudeau is trying as well

Interestingly

The Local NDP in Alberta

(Oil sands)

Is fighting strongly against the carbon tax.

Rachel Notely is the local NDP leader in Alberta

Notably Alberta consistently voted conservative before her

But she's quite popular now

And yes, like i was trying to get at before, more class focused, then race/feminism focused.

Which is much like sanders

Though i havent seen them call for taxing the rich to pay for university or some such

So less extreme then sanders in some ways with that.

Heavily pro-union, Pro low small buisness tax, pro heavily progresssive income tax

Ah. there we go. A Union party.

er. labor union party.

Though low taxes on small business is unusual.

Maybe. But its coherent.

"Kick-start the economy and build needed infrastructure, starting with:
? Cutting taxes for Canada’s job creators by reducing the small business tax from
11 to 9%.
? Supporting innovation and investment in companies creating jobs in Canada,
with an early focus on the aerospace, automotive, forestry and mining sectors.
? Creating jobs and building our economy with $1.5 billion per year in new
infrastructure funding to municipalities to fix roads, bridges and water
treatment systems."

Was watching Tim's video from a few days ago in which he mentioned Directive 51 again

Each time he mentions it, he tends to leave out the part about a mass casualty, government-interrupting event that forms the prerequisite for it

https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html

Sure, that happened

But that changes fuck all for me honestly

The bill's fucking atrocious

```"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;```

Oh

'Directive' 51?

That isnt Canada?

Nevermind me.

I thought of C-51.

Sorry, I kind of came in here with my own topic in mind

Though speaking of Canada, my big issue with how Tim talks about Directive 51 is how it requires something so ungodly catastrophic to occur before it can even be an option on the table,

in contrast to a place like Canada, where the Queen could dismiss your parliament tomorrow

That... No.

We wouldnt stand for that 😛

She knows it, we know it.

Australia stood for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis

In 1975.

Nearly half a century ago

Australia had their duly elected prime minister dismissed due to little more than bad poll numbers and a gridlocked legislature

and Australia just laid down and took it

And then the minority party's leader was put into power as head of government

Sounds interesting

and as far as I know, this is an area where Canada and Australia have virtually identical laws

The Queen meddled with us in the past a bit, but it was mostly political bullshit our politicians were asking for.

Canada's armed forces swear allegiance to the Queen personally

as do Canadian politicans

Yes, because we were both previously colonies

I cant say you're wrong in terms of laws

so they cannot, legally, object to her exercising her full authority

But in terms of practice i staunchly believe you're way off.

We can illegally, very loudly object to it

And we would

nah, Canada is cucked

you'd kneel to the queen

I find it hard to believe that Canada is independent of the UK bearing these factors in mind

Really, it depends on the circumstance.

If Canada were itself too divided to act, it probably wouldn't.

If what she did had wide popular approval

You're probably right

That was the case with Australia

Doesn't even need wide popular approval. Just enough to make revolt inpractical.

however you define 'revolt'

The prime minister was unpopular enough that the people didn't complain when a perfectly law-abiding politician was suddenly and swiftly ejected from the office they were duly elected to serve in

at least according to polling

Even if the people DID revolt, it's not like the Canadian armed forces swear allegiance to Canadian law

or people

or politicians

But in practice the Queen doesnt excercise a whole lot of power here, and if she did try to do something widely unpopular she'd be putting herself in a precarious situation i imagine

They swear allegiance only to the Queen

But she DID exercise this power in practice in 1975

So what's to stop her from doing it again?

Yeah, but show me a Canadian that'd actually answer to the Queen instead of the nation when it mattered

Who the military swears alliance to is more of a formality than a reality.

Don't give political power to someone purely because they came out of the right vagina

It shows where power nominally rests and the traditions and culture lie, but it says very little about how things might operate in a true crisis.

That's rich coming from someone whose screenname starts with "Swedish"

This is more a matter of us inheriting this governmental structure, and so long as the Queen just stays quiet, it doesnt hurt us much to keep it.

I hate my monarchy too @RMS_Gigantic

Knug Gustaf and whatnot

Our royal family wants more tax money so they can marry more Beverly Hills Americans

be a man Swedishmafia

Challenge your king to the right to the crown!

Demand a trial by wombat!

Hold on while I steal that picture of the guy with a flag and shotgun off the firearms-chat.

Dude, I am literally the reincarnation of Maximilien Robespierre

Rats. I can't post pictures.

Sweden apparently has Republikanska Föreningen and the Swedish Republican Association as political groups for opposing monarchism

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/467577750325297162/468518184736260097/america.jpeg

this one?

Yes!

^Me irl

Me irl

I'm so fucking American, I view republicanism as a political ideology in itself

why not be so american, that you consider Republicans to be communists too 😛

like George Liquor

That's just ancap. you'd have to go to Liberland or something for that.

Why is Love Island a thing?

but getting back to my original topic, Tim tends to neglect to mension the background or indeed the restricting clauses of Directive 51

It's just a bunch of plastic millenials trying to shag each other and fight when someone shags the wrong person

It's PURELY a COG/COOP/ECG document

@Swedishmafia101 It sells to cucks and dramaqueens

Hey guys, remember how TYT covered that Spanish guy getting hit with a brick? They left out that it was done by a black woman.

Well they’ve done it again. This video is on the CVS coupon controversy. They leave out that the police were called over trespassing, not the coupon.

TYT is intentionally deceiving people
https://youtu.be/aTucq8OfZMc

designed to save American government and prevent anarchy if some horrendous, crippling, mass-casualty blow should be struck against the US that threatens its very ability to operate as a country

tim covered it already

Someone, somewhere should just make a site where we list all these muck-ups.

The US is a nation that's sorted out its political system enough to have failsafes for its failsafes for its failsafes as far as ensuring the US continues to exist

@pratel give a name

@Dr.Wol The Swedish version of Love Island is called "Paradise Hotel". And there are more people signing up for Paradise Hotel than teaching...

The Charters of Freedom (Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights) receive better protection than the US president

@Deleted User for what?

There is a reason why I say millenials have the most stupid people out of any generation

@Swedishmafia101 the average person will gladly become a whore for fame/recognition,

Look at FB, Twitter, Twitch, Youtube, Hollywood, Congress

@pratel I can start working on a site to cover news fuck ups
