    Britain speed-running their way into Fascism.

    They’ve been periodically reminding that leaving that country after the Brexit vote was one of the best decisions in my life (and after seeing first hand the discourse around Leave, back then I already thought Britain was one of the most likely European nations to turn Fascist), but the frequency of such reminders has steeply increased in the last couple of months.

    The banks that seem to support starving children and supporting genocide of civilian population are Virgin Money and Unity Trust.

      Put on some traditional TV news and you’ll basically be told that there are no civilians there.

      The average boomer think the entire place is 100% terrorists. They’re not told about the suffering of innocents. And this isn’t me speaking about America, I’m talking about non-conservative European news. The amount of propaganda is mind boggling.

      The CEOs of the banks that seem to support genocide and child starvation are Chris Rhodes and Colin Fyfe.

      I don’t think it’s entirely the banks’ fault. In UK pro-Palestinians are “terrorists” and anti-terrorism procedures require the freezing of assets.

      People would think twice before flying Palestinian flags when they wouldn’t be able to afford food anymore and face terrorism charges unfortunately. We live in a dystopia.

    The UK Government is really going all out to protect the perpetrators of genocide from their critics.

      It is amazing that they are so used to not facing consequences that now they can’t even face criticism.

      Having lived in multiple countries in Europe, including Britain, lets just say that the UK is especially bad in terms of Morals and Ethics.

      After living there for almost a decade I concluded British society and politics was a mix of European-style and American-style values, only they had mostly picked the bad ones from both (for example, Cronyism, Dynastic Wealth and the idea of the inherent superiority of those born rich from Europe and “Greed as the greatest quality there is” from America) rather than the good ones.

      Mind you, most of the rest of Europe, at least at the level of the Political and Money elites, is Morally and Ethically a shithole. It’s just that the UK is extra, extra special in this.
