You don't hear about them

in germany, nazi jokes are pretty much criminalised without trial or appeals

they have banned political positions

thats all you need to hear

**literally banning ideas**

Or

Yeah.

theres no charitable way to say that.

***illegal ideas*** as Merkel said Herself

you 'muricans hold onto your first two amendments now you hear? 😦 you don't wanna end up like us Europeans, where theres no freedom of speech, and people are not able to do anything

first one especially

Germany has been really touchy about anything someone might deem as "extreme." ever since the whole Adolf thing simmered down

you need the 2nd one to protect the 1st

I would give anything for the American constitution rn in the UK

anyone who says "the constitution is outdated" or "its not fit for the modern age" that person is coming for your rights.

Well, right now our left is trying to dismantle it.

Pretty much.

thankfully your Trump is utterly destroying them at any turn 😄

You Seem to be doing alright

Compared to us

we need Trumps across europe 😦

Yeah, the UK needs some kind of bill to protect rights. The fact that this is happening at all is just one step further towards an authoritarian construct.

The only reason to change the constitution is to add to it. Luckily that ability is already in the constitutuion.

If it doesn't get better, it'll get worse

This kind of thing doesn't just stagnate

its going to get worse, and it has to get worse before it gets better

Trump is protecting the constitution, but he isn't really enacting it... nationalists are just as willing to sacrifice rights for the good of the nation.

Where there's power and control to be had, you better believe certain types will grasp at it

We are also stuck between 2 authoritarian parties who both want to strip rights for safety

the UK is practically like Children of Men now

Eh?

A movie, I guess

Google, while being the cesspool that it is, is still useful

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206634/

I see

I can agree

We are an ember

The movie opens with a cafe being bombed by a terrorist while everyones watching the news about some shit like terrorism and theres a ton of immigrants

Almost gone but not quite yet

thats London

Reminds me of the opening to Justice League.
Anyone see that movie?
