Michael Gove looks even weirder than most Goons, which is saying something. He is also a massive oval office.

e: Sorry I forgot to say, yes I agree. If he wasn't doing this, he would have been put down by now, by any number of far right, left, doctors, teachers, illuminati, religious, or simply hollywood makeup artist, groups.

Umm if Texas seceded they would make the murder of Mexicans legal and for money/sport, so no the cartels wouldn't have a chance.

Easily too. You remove the federal government and the cartels wouldn't give two shits about some backwoods "militia" defending their ranches or a local police force. Those rancher's heads would be swinging from overpasses as a warning with in the first day. Mexican cartels don't gently caress around.

They use all of our money. All of our retirement funds, all of our mortgages, all that money you put into a bank. All of it is used to play the finance markets.

Funny too that they lost the general election with 37% of the vote going to the Tories, then started telling everyone to gently caress off and join the Tories and then lost Brexit with 52% voting against them, and now they're trying to win back the hearts and minds of the voters by calling them inbred moron idiot racists.

The globalization bankers actually don't share a lot of interest with the poor regional racists and young city liberals, they are trying to hide themselves from the central conflict. It's not that hard to buy themselves out of the spotlight if the political machine is a 2-party system.

the people who are complaining about this are the young people who aren't retiring for 50 years, don't have a mortgage, and have like 200 bucks in their bank accounts

for some reason all of the old people who are actually affected by this think it's more important not to be a german protectorate

You would think the 2008 crash would have scared them a bit, but nope I don't blame them either, why should they be afraid ? Governments won't do anything and our young people would rather tweet than take some out, so... All the mass shootings in America and not even one on Wall Street :( I mean, these guys hurt our countries more than ISIS will ever dream of doing, but money talks

These things switch every so often. I feel sorry for young aspiring leftists since they're going to grow up thinking authoritarian neoliberalism is cool and aimlessly screaming racist at a cloud is progress. Also they've got to be hurting inside trying to reconcile their deep classism with minorities being the biggest victims of free market capitalism. Nah who am I kidding not a one will actually think about it they'll just yell racist at a nearby mailbox and carry on not voting

Both sides have valid points and make valid criticisms of each side and by coming together in civilised debate and democracy and respecting each other we can find the best solution for everyone.

Or we can just call each other names on the internet and assume that our side is the one true truth and the other side is pure evil like in a Disney film.

Either's cool.

it's better to have a broken leg and some firewood than to sit there freezing while the tree is chopped down and carted off to heat a rich person's house.

And then the Young is mangled in a factory owned by the rich person anyway (neolibs deregulated industry) and can't even get medical treatment since you turned your country into America because the media screamed a bunch of gibberish about racism at you

True, but you shouldn't go to war with the electorate. It'd be like Ford having an ad campaign targeting Toyota drivers that went "Why are you driving a Toyota you loving retarded inbred gently caress? Why do you hate Black people? gently caress you oval office!..... Test drive a Ford today!"
