US🤝UK: we are fascism
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, guess you’re up next.
well at least in the US we can still share a facebook post supporting a non-violent protest group…
but yeah, still fascist….
Not if the Canadian electorate keeps PP out of the PM's office.
I fear we're underestimating the conservative base of a lot of regions in this country, and how shitty the electoral system is. The LPC wins because it the least evil of all the other choices. They're still liberals, in the "corporations and money first" sense. It's not a good place to be for a democracy.
Plus, the provincial governments of the two most populous are both currently conservative. Even if the CAQ is not named that way. And there's Alberta.
My family and their friends in the countryside are "against Trump" but kind of admire the policies. They defend themselves and say they think Trump is stupid, but they are still misinformed about immigration, the economy, social issues, and spew the same general lines than Republicans or Conservatives. They're not! But you know, those immigrants and those pronouns these day. And those protesters should find a job! Oh and of you have nothing to hide anyway.
I fear we're on thin ice.
Can't wait to hear from the Brits saying "wHy DoN't YoU jUsT fIgHt BaCk?" to Americans.
It's on your doorstep now. What will you do?
Hmm... Yeah, I wonder. It's not like there's been protests across the country or anything. Hundreds of arrests at multiple different events up and down the country. Legal challenges at court. Opposition parties ridiculing the government. A new direct action group formed named after the Home Secretary.
It's not like just 2 weeks ago the Metropolitan Police arrested the most people in a single day in over 10 years.
It's not like there's another mass protest planned for the 6th September.
Whatever shall we do...
The British population are mobilising, the American population is largely sitting on its laurels.
you haven't been paying attention to the LA and seattle protests
You need to go farther than protesting. We all do.
“You get the government you deserve” 🙄
Hoooo boy
Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.
