Absolute fucking morons.
Every single one of those people is going to end up in poverty as a direct result of who they want to elect.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What you have to understand about these people is that they already feel they are down on their luck and are to weak to do anything about it.
The best they can hope for to feel better about themselves is that other people are even worse off, which is why they are so full of hate and want immigrants to be punished.
Even then, it'll be the fault of the people coming over with fuck all to try and rebuild their lives.
We may be underestimating how many are willing to be a peasant in a Christofascist ethnostate.
The UK should issue an international arrest warrant for Elon Musk.
So should the EU
Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you.
From the even further right as it turned out.
Wait, I chose no violence, but it will still come my way?
Now they're just saying the quiet part out loud.
Again.
Britain must stand united
Where almost half the flags are not Union Jack but the English flag. 🤣🤣🤣
Such a bunch of morons.
As i quoted before. Racists were never burdened with an over abundance of book learning
Here are some inventions by some really racist people:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:German_inventions_of_the_Nazi_period
It’s a mistake to underestimate the intelligence of fascists just because they subscribe to fundamentally dumb ideas. There are a lot of smart and sinister people serving those ideals.
Project 2025 isn’t the work of unintelligent people, the success of the extreme right isn’t a ”happy” coincidence resulting from ineptitude, and so forth.
They say knowingly dumb things because only idiots will take them seriously. It weeds out the skeptics while pissing off the intelligent, who often get dismissive, which lets them continue growing their party.
It’s like the Nigerian Prince scams, where bad spelling and grammar weeds out the people who wouldn’t fall for it anyway, but with the added bonus of pissing off opponents in the process.
I'd bet a few of those actually do want to exclude people from the other UK nations. Not as many as are flying the flags, I grant you, but nonetheless. Colonialist mindset still runs deep in some of the English.
I'm astounded that in a gathering of fascists two people holding English and Irish flags can stand in the same vicinity of each other and not start throwing punches.
Jesus Christ, same planet but different worlds. How does someone so hateful have so many fans?
Basically everyone living in capitalism without regulation has been slowly and systemically crushed over time and the capitalists (and other parties interested in destabilization) have done a good job at convincing them that it’s not in fact the capitalists but rather immigrants, minorities, women, etc etc That are at fault
I think racism and tribalism is easy. It's the first thought of an uneducated person, it's base, it's instinct, and it feels good to follow through on any conviction. But most people had no good reason to he racist, you worked with a few migrants, the black guy at college was great, and Jackie Chan movies are great. Then the internet / bot farms / Russia came along, and fed the uneducated a constant steady stream of racist content. Couple that with the people who found politics too boring getting Donald Trump. And he's seen the racist bot farm content too! He just gets us! Bam, a recipe for disaster.
People want validations and to believe what they are doing is the right thing. When one side calls them evil, far-right, and racists, naturally they will flock to the other side who are telling them they are heroes who are protecting the country from immigrants.
You can watch street interviews of the protesters and you'll see what I mean.
here in the states younger patrons coming in the shop have said they related to him and are in mourning
fucking nuts just yesterday a younger couple came in and was the first thing mentioned and was like what about his views on keeping women in their place or his other extreme owner class ideals and woman with him stayed very quiet and busied herself with petting the shop cat
nothing but praise for the guy came from them or any other of most of the younger patrons and even the older crowd seems to be for him but the media is toxic and controlled as is all narratives even with education
United States was never the United States for all of us here but feels like getting worse but want to keep being hopeful just challenging
Yet Palestine protesters are arrested... What a sick joke.
It’s because our police forces are full of sadistic far right facists
We are so fucked. There is no escaping this global rush of extremism.
I am originally from the states, but was lucky enough to move to Australia 11 years ago.
I thought I escaped the growing right wing crazy, and watched from afar as Trump was elected the first time, and my country descended into fascism.
Then here in Australia there was a white supremacist rally. Then another.
Then in my city there was a "March for Australia" organised by known white supremacists, but claiming not to be racist.
"They just don't want all this immigration".
Their website also said they wanted remigration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal for ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
Sounds pretty racist to me.
This march was planned for the final day of the state multicultural festival. Its planned start and end point was the park where the festival was being held.
My family and I decided we would go. I haven't been to a protest since I was a teenager, but I felt it was our duty to show that not everyone agrees with this.
The day before the march our best friend said their friends were afraid to go out to lunch with them that day, because their parents were verbally assaulted in a grocery store on Friday for being immigrants.
They later said people came to their parents house and were beating on the door and yelling about them being immigrants.
My husband stood there in his suit, I stood in my pretty dress with flowers, our daughters held signs that said things like "so bad even the introverts are here".
The March was not peaceful and was definitely racist. We started off to the side, sitting with flags my daughters and I made with hundreds of countries on them, and eventually we were swarmed as the crowd veered to come right past us.
They screamed obscenities at us, pushed into me, pushed my husband, tried to rip the sign from his hands. They ripped down the flags we made. Blew an air horn in our faces.
Many claimed they were not racist but my husband got called a f-ing Jew multiple times??? Maybe it was the beard and the hat, I don't know.
Seemed pretty racist to me.
Eventually police came and stood in front of us while we packed our things and left. We would do it again, in a heartbeat.
Before the rowdy crowd came looking for trouble we had immigrants come up and thank us, hug us, and we want them to know that not everyone agrees with this march.
Not wanting immigration is not what this march was about. This march was about fear and racism.
I urge all of you, show up, make signs, show that not everyone agrees.
This is a very disheartening story. Do Australians realize anyone not brown isn’t indigenous to Australia?
The white racists in America sure don't. It they don't care.
True it’s sad that it’s getting bad everywhere. Nazis are a plauge
Sigh. I don't know. We brought that up often that day.
It’s a living satire
they were even doing it this past weekend here in Toronto, Canada. People marching and holding up posters of Kirk. was insane.
Funny thing was seeing a bunch of POC among them and I'm thinking "you moronic motherfuckers, if the cops weren't here they'd turn on you without a moments hesitation."
Live for humanity, that's the opposite of all this drama. They profit from your life and use you for their fights. They don't let you have real faith in yourself or humanity because they need you to have faith in them and so they can continue to use you.
Become fearless, have faith in self and genuine humanity, and become able to see through all this.
It's time to detach from these 1st world social lifestyles that are marketed towards us to make us easier to control.
I am really, really happy that Britain left the EU.
Sorry to any sane Brits, but the "ever more nuttier" European country not having any voting power in the EU, much less a veto, is a great thing.
Mind you, lots of countries over here might end up like that, but Britain seems to be a decade ahead of the rest in that specific kind of shit show and it and the US might very well serve as a warning for the locals on this side of the Channel not to go down that route (just like the example of Brexit itself crushed any ideas about Leave Referendums in the rest of the EU).
Germany would like a word
I mean it's pretty easy when you think about it. Like if the "far right" idea is a virus, the English language is it's vector of infection, making it easier for ideas or memes to cross pollinate cultural between the US and UK. Some of the other EU countries have their own main language after all other than English so such spread is slower.
In his eyes, the greatest symbiotic parasite Men has ever known isn't microbial, it's linguistics. Words are what keeps civilization, our world alive. Save the world not by taking Men's lives but by taking their tongue.
A wise philosopher once said, "it is no nation that we inhabit. Nay! Our native tongue is our true fatherland!"
And yet the Republic Of Ireland isn't at all aligned with Britain in this.
Not that I disagree with you, more that I think that there's more than just that.
I lived in a couple of places in Europe, Southern, Northern and also over a decade in Britain.
IMHO, Britain has is very own cultural twists that make a certain kind of posh authoritarianism much more likely there: an incredibly entrenched dynastic elite (Britain has, I believe, the lowest social mobility in Europe) with a ton of structures to make sure it will always be so (the "public" schools -> Oxbridge -> daddy's friend's company "internship" path that makes sure the scions of the elites remain in that class, the Judiciary being almost entirelly in the hands of "public" school graduates even though they're only 11% of population which gets reflected in quite different legal outcomes depending on one's class, the The "Honors" System, the Lords with its inherited positions, and more).
This elite has its own sub-culture (even including its own accent) which amongst other things is big on fakeness and very anti-empathy (I've personally known a handful of people from that section of society) and meanwhile the other end of society is also quirky as fuck, in a different way (amongst other things more violent and prejudiced than in other countries I lived in, hence things like the Hooliganism phenomenon).
Then there are weird cultural postures than transverse society such as how people's approach to their position in the social ladder is to focus on keeping those below them where the are, rather than try and climb it themselves, plus there is a general tendency to worry too much (IMHO) about keeping up appearences (to "look right" rather than "be good") though it's worse the higher up the social ladder one is (working class are the most genuine, middle class tend to be pretty fake, upper class live their entire lives behind a façade - hence the whole "posh" thing).
Mind you, in my experience this mostly applies to the English and those from other nations are less like that, especially the Scotts.
(I fully support the idea of an Independent Scotland in the EU)
Anyways, my point is that Britain has it's own set of wierd quirks, which mixed with the shit imported from the US (IMHO, Brits seem to in the last couple of decades somehow have combined the worst of both cultures rather than the best) yields this "Rocketship to Posh Fascism" effect.
Nazis made a martyr out of Horst Wessel. Republicans are trying to make a martyr out of Charlie Kirk.
I hate that they use terms like this for their shit. “Unite the kingdom” is up there with “bring balance to the force”
A gathering of bell ends, as the Brits would say.
Stop the world, I want to get off this ride.
