lol

I can imagine SJW ghouls complaining about the smoothskin treatment of ferals or some bullshit like that

I can't remember, did the activists in dead rising want zombies to be considered full on humans, with all rights, or did they just think that the zombie killing tv gameshow was kind of fucked up?

hi

Do you think it would be a good idea for the US to change the law, so that anyone who spends time as a congressman or senator is disqualified from running for president?

maybe

I feel like it would help prevent the solidification of a political elite

or political class, maybe

You'd probably do the same thing the other way around, ex-presidents can't become congressmen or senators

welp

IDK

legislature doesn't elect the president

I'm not saying it would break up the two party system

sure

I guess that's true

hi

I thought it only took 24 hours to get past the long walls

but I guess that's not how it works

You may not care about geopolitics, but geopolitocs cares about your country, and therefore you.

A lot of the issues with regime change in the modern day have been that we get rid of a dictator who was keeping islamists out of power

X to doubt

Didn't Kim Il-Sung build a dam that caused shitloads of his people to starve?

Marxist governments are inherently illegitimate and their existence is an existential threat to non-Marxist nations

Yes, they really are.

A government which denies basic rights is illegitimate, even if it was voted for.

No

Their existence is a threat

Wew

"just let tyrants do whatever they want, and they'll surely leave us alone"

It did concern us

Venezuela is causing problems for the US

They don't exist in a bubble

Anyway, do you seriously think that the Marxists would have stopped if they'd taken control of all of Asia?

They absolutely wouldn't have

Containment was a necessary policy

A dictatorship which is a threat to us

Imagine if the USSR had the combined resources of Asia and Latin America.

Irreconcilable ideologies cannot coexist

Marxism does not tolerate the existence of Liberalism.

Liberalism therefore cannot tolerate the existence of Marxism

They had no right to do what they were doing in the first place

And yet Stalin was still pushing the expansion of Marxism-Leninism

Socialism in one country was about not getting rid of the idea of countries.

If a robber is breaking into someone else's house, you're within your right to stop him

"as much"

We're literally arguing about intervening in the spread of Marxism-Leninism that was backed BY STALIN

Isn't the council made of the heads of government of every country?

So the UK doesn't get to vote because it invoked article 50?

Fuck the EU, holy shit

The UK government is fucked, honestly

Parlimentry systems suck.

You know what I mean

The UK system should work more like the US. Idk how you'd fit the queen into that though

No I mean, the head of government shouldn't be appointed by the legislature

Should be elected by the people

Too many layers of seperation

Does the PM have a veto?

That's not good

Is there automatically a general election after a period of time?

Well that's good

No action is a win for brexit

@Joshu is there a prorogation when a general election happens?

If parliment can challange prorogations, could that be used to basically avoid an automatic general election?

Okay

I still the head of government being chosen by the biggest party in parliment is a bad idea

Also, can the PM veto things?

Yikes

Veto is an important power

So that's a problem

That said, I guess I get why the PM wouldn't have veto power

again though, as long as no changes happen, brexit should occur automatically, right?

So as long as it's hung, you're good to go on that end

Why not?

I assumed hung parliment ment they couldn't get anything done

So does Boris need to keep proroging Parliament?

Huh

So how would he fuck it up?

But not confirmed?

When's the summit?

I thought a bunch of labor was pro leave

Isn't the EU refusing to negotiate more deals?

At the very least, if I understand, parliment can't do more than keep extending until the mandate runs out and more leave MP's are voted in, right?

So they've got several years left?

What month?

Yikes

So like 2 and a half years

Fucking hell

Well that's a shit option then

What ever happened to the days when people would storm parliment because they were sitting on their asses doing fuckall?

Didn't you guys do that because of shit in the Thames or something?

I don't mean the military protectorate

I mean didn't people storm parliment one time because of how much shit was in the Thames?

When the sovreignty of the UK has become a political issue, the time for royal impartiality should be over.

So the EU doesn't intend to form a superstate?

It's relevant to the sovereignty of the UK

Whether or not the EU becomes a single country is absolutely relevant to the UK's sovereignty if there UK remains in the EU.

The EU, as an institution, can burn

Weez, if the EU becomes a single country, with the UK in it, the UK will lose its sovereignty

Because the queen shouldn't allow it. Which was my original damn point
