Looking forward to this mobile studio. Hope my YouTube joiny thing helps! @Timcast

@AdorableStormtrooper It's a tough one. I mean I had a conversation with someone recently who genuinely believed if she lived in Nazi Germany, she would have fought the good fight and stood her ground.

However current Western society is nothing like Nazi Germany. Though yeah I vehemently oppose the idea of "hate crimes" because the ultimate path leads to a similar location. Nobody knows who is going to wield all this power over what is and isn't acceptable thought and speech.

That's what scares me

in the UK the recent explanation for polling being wrong is "Shy Tories"

Personally I've now found myself much more comfortable expressing my political opinions in person, but I can't be bothered with online. I just leave the (whatever you want to categorise them as) to openly preach and scroll past.

Though I only do it when invited. I can defend my stance. And if I can't, then you know what, I'll change my position to match.

this is what confuses me

Murdoch controls much of the UKs media

but Murdoch is also blasted as a pariah and construct of Leave

yet look at his media outlets

most of them were pro Remain

In Australia, incredibly "progressive" also

definitely, it all starts in Education

@CyberNecro Biggest mistake conservatives made was abandoning acadamia to the left

I'm starting to believe the Soviet Union really did infiltrate the Western institutions as their biggest KGB operation XD

they just didn't envision the Soviet Union collapsing before the fruits were realised

I mean if the Soviet Union was still in place, we'd all be joining up immediately right?

You can say no, but the 2nd biggest party here is now openly Socialist...

our Shadow Chancellor wants to overthrow capitalism as a current policy :S

and they have about a 40% chance of being elected right now

someone fucked up big time

I think they're now desperately trying to wash their hands of it

2008 Financial crash was the key point for the UK

however, unpopularly, I'll state 2008 didn't cause it, 2008 just accelerated it

UK

we had a rather Marxist government, but understood the need for market support

however they were very creative with teh accounts

and if you can't teach, get into politics?

so the UK was spend spend spend, shiny new schools, shiny new hospitals, everyone happy with their wonderful new infrastructure. But spending way beyond means, and back loading the financial burden. Then 2008 happens, oh crud we need to bail out the banks, deficit spirals.

2010 Saint David of Cameron marches in on his bright white horse and his chief advisor Gideon Osbourne. Well the problems are we've been spending too much, and we need to spend less.

2018... "cuts" have gone on, and on, and still we spend more than we bring in via tax receipts. However after 8 years, and a noticeable impact on front line services, Saint Jezza Corbyn comes in promising free everything, because it's the elites that have stolen everything.

This is my warped simplistic view, but seems to make the most sense as to why we are so openly entertaining a return to socialism.

@Coochie coo terrifying really. Funny how it's always the middle classes that know what's best for the poor/working class.

Isn't that why they want assault weapons banned in the US now?

at what point does a Spanish/Portuguese immigrant stop being "white"? How many generations of living in Mexico etc?

is it just when it suits some people?

As yeah "hispanic" is white to me, but I'm a simple Yorkshireman

this is exactly what I've never understood

it's only identity politics worshippers that seem to class it as a separate race. But some Middle Eastern countries, the skin tone is paler than Southern Europe.

Then you've got the different "white races" I mean Scandinavians are genetically different.

English is based on Latin

yay I'm Latino!

Latin is even on our currency XD

Latin is a language...

Bullshit

Scotland was never part of Rome

hence they built a wall

It won't be after we drag them out of it in March XD

England is part of Europe

I was in the Roman walls of York this last weekend

apparently a lot of what has gone on in France this last week is being suppressed

there is no Celtic race

they're wypepo

that can't speak English properly

and I can say that as I have Scottish genes 😛

I know I am haha

but Celtic is just huwite

Must be a right wing Bernie supporter

Sod going back on Patreon, they're done.

I've stopped all Patreon sponsoring.

Though that's Tim's luck as the money I'm now not spending on that I'm putting towards him getting his mobile studio sorted

I want an electric car so my employer can pay for my fuel XD
