POLITICS: what have you done for us lately?

"It was "wrong" for US President Donald Trump to retweet videos posted by far-right group Britain First, Downing Street has said."

So it'd be fine if he didn't share it and just watched it with a grin on his inflated anus of a face? I can't believe this shit is tolerated with such non-commital statements when he's literally promoting fascist propganda. At least Corbyn came out and said it was "abhorrent". I hope Brendan Cox meets him face to face and asks why he's supporting a group that motivated the man who murdered his wife.

So fucking sick of this hateful madness. I almost want to cut all news feeds out of my life, there's nothing I can do about anything and it's all borderline dystopian. The other night I caught a piece about massacres on the Bangladesh border (I think?) involving the Burmese army. Women getting raped, left for dead and having their baby children killed in front of them. What the fuck century is this? I can't believe men can be this primitive. Like fully formed human beings who eat, shit, sleep and wake up just the same as you, me or anyone else. I'm rambling. I don't know. I'm just to tired to care anymore and thought typing this naive bollocks out might help.Christ I feel like I'm going to end up living as a shut-in with a set of fleshlights for a wife and wallowing in my own filth.

Yea, the news is like a constant reminder of the hate in the world. I'm kinda feeling the same these days, Snufkino.

Those groups like Britain First are pretty damn good at targeting Americans that don't really understand the history of those groups in the UK. I think a lot of Americans hold the UK up in a kind of civilized pedestal....I know they lured my friend's mom into buying into their social media presence on Facebook with some seemingly innocent "support our people"//"look at this horrible event" kinda thing. She had no idea who the group was and I only knew it because my Scottish friend and I talked a lot about the right wing groups around the UK (it was after I brought up the growing right wing kinda imagery infiltrating the punk scene at Rebellion Fest in Blackpool ... Like crusaders, st. George cross, etc being plastered over kinda apolitcal bands merch... obviously it was selling).

Kinda sad that right wing groups are damn good at manipulating relatively moderate people into support because of social media (even if the support from these people isn't true and fanatical, they are using the numbers to justify stupid stuff and influence policy and start fights). Makes me sick.

Now's probably a good time to post this:

Glad it's not just me.

take my love
take my land
take me where I cannot stand
I don't care
I'm still free
you can't take the skynet from me

[Chankgeez]

Yes…

Trump tagged the wrong Theresa May on Twitter.

This has to be one of the dumbest fucking pieces I've read. I mean, who cares?

This quote was absurdly stupid.


Perhaps our biggest concern should be that when Donald Trump shoots nuclear missiles at Kim Jong-un, he hits Lil' Kim instead. Or Kim Kardashian. Or even Rakim. Maybe all the Kims should be worried.

[Chankgeez]

I can tell you, Rakim ain't scared.

I’d just like to point out that, as a member of the international community, you guys have an obligation to get Rakim on the enrolled UN Heritage Listings. Because he is a national treasure and natural wonder that needs to be preserved.
