I'm glad that he's calling a spade a spade here, it's long overdue, but for god sakes man actually fucking do something about it???
He's the prime minister and the leader of what was once one of the largest socialist parties in Europe - Where are the radical solutions?
You don't fight fascism with "I promise not to be fascist guys"' you actually fucking do something. Sweeping wealth taxes, universal basic income, electoral reform, actually improve people's lives and they'll stop looking to extremist idiots for answers.
Absolutely fair enough and I appreciate you letting me know. There is a bit of irony in you linking me a substack article in your response about how you refuse to read my substack article, but I'll leave that be haha.
For the record Lemmy has had a Nazi problem for a bit and a problem with CSAM material as well, if that's a hard stopping point for you, and fair enough if it is, you should probably start looking elsewhere.
Unfortunately not the first time this has happened. I've worked with a number of Welsh specific publications that have been left high and dry by Labour when it comes to conference.
It's rough to see how spineless many of the Democrats are. It's difficult for us in Europe to understand but the democrats are quite right-wing, akin to the conservative party in the UK for example. So when people see the supposed 'left-wing' party in the US pulling shit like this it confuses them.
Yeah that's what I mean about our horrible system of voting. It's pretty fucking tragic. Our current government promised voting reform but they've been wholly untrustworthy when it comes to the majority of their claims thus far so I don't know if we'll see it.
You may not be familiar with UK politics so I'll be fair here when I say that there has -always- been a section of the general electorate that have supported this kind of complete bullshit being peddled by Nigel.
Previously it was peddled by UKIP, or the Conservatives, or the Brexit Party, and even in some cases certain fringes of the Labour Party.
Friends - I tried really hard, but it's just boring. The laugh track kills it a lot for me, though I know the vast majority of that was a live audience.
He's an old Celtic God, god of the wild and the likes. It's likely to be a sticking point for bullies in schools honestly. Which sucks because by all accounts he was kind of a bad ass.
I agree completely, I just think it's important we contrast this insane information with facts, whilst 30% is a sizeable chunk, 70% of the electorate view him as the complete clown that he is.
Our other big right-wing party basically committed suicide, and most of their non pensioner voters have since fled to ReformUK, as well as a fairly consistent trickle of politicians defecting from the Conservatives to ReformUK.
If the Conservatives hadn't gone completely insane they may well have split the vote between them, but it all seems to be coalescing around ReformUK at the moment.
For some perspective from the UK, only about 30-35% of the UK electorate actually support ReformUK, the party this fascist scumbag currently owns.
And a considerable portion of that % are only supporting because they're being lied to consistently by him, his cronies and a sizeable portion of our news organisations.
35% support would likely be enough to deliver that ass clown into power though as our archaic voting system is shit.
