Idk, I feel like if it came to civil war, foreign countries would not be in favor of a more liberty focused regime

Though I have to say, I have a lot of respect for the French right now. The French were never cowards. Their governments were.

And nah I think our allies would actually intervene

And assist any resistance/loyalist group

But honestly. Seeing that French man stand out in the open with arms spread out, accepting the rubber bullets, shit.

I couldn't be peaceful in that situation. I'm sorry. That's probably beyond my levels of self restraint.

UK I'm begging you, get a fucking constitution

we have better change finding strippers at Uranus then UK getting a constitution

And have it trump any military/police orders.

What is there really guaranteeing anyone's rights in the UK? Magna Carta? Come on.

You guys should push for that after Brexit.

Put it in damn writing.

So you're saying that the guards will allow you to depose the PM because you're legally allowed to?

Seems doubtful.

Plus, with no militias or similar organized groups, how the fuck do you go up against what's basically a police state?

Butter Knives and Longbows

Like real men

Thought they already banned the butter knives?

Longbows are necessary for fox hunting though so those are probably still legal

This tweet shows nice and clear the shambles in British Parliament...
...each position is too weak to achieve any kind of majority
(of course, actually fulfilling the will of the people would be a nice thing to do, but it actually has the fewest number of MPs supporting it)

How many people know what a political compass looks like?

<:cleanyourroom:429612328192049152>
Depends on which compass you mean

But the typical 4 quadrant one, yeah

When someone says right wing or left wing or libertarian, I'm curious how many people associate that with the political compass or just have a vague idea of what those three terms are.

The Left/Right thing came before the political compass

Yup, but trying to figure out current day understanding of politics in the general public.

I myself had heard of left wing, right wing, and libertarian, but had no idea what those were about or that there was a political compass. Is that a general thing with a large portion of society you think?

Probably

I guess I could ask strangers at the mall.
