Vib Rib posted:Am I misreading this or is this literally saying "punishing troops for committing war crimes is basically the same as committing war crimes, if you think about it" I think Leak gets published in a Murdoch rag, so you can always assume that the least generous assumption is the correct one. His UK outlets would be okay with the army acting like the werhmacht on the Eastern front so long as they were r boys.

BonHair posted:What's the chance the EU are gonna say "well, if you don't want a deal, you can rot on your island by yourself" when Brexit enters the final stage? Does the EU have the ovaries to go through with something like that? It would be very funny to me if the UK just collapsed from isolation. I would also support Scottish, Northern Irish, Welsh and possibly Northern English independence in that case. That's not how the EU rolls. Keep in mind that they really don't want this kind of disruption at all. But the level at which the negotiations happen is pretty far removed from day to day politics in member states (and in member states nobody cares anymore). It's all done by civil servants. They don't have to look good at home, they just have the mandate given to them by the states. Stopping negotiations isn't in the mandate, so they'll sit at the table, smile politely, and soldier on regardless. It helps that the UK holds no cards. Geography dictates that the EEA will dominate the UK's trade volume. The only question is how much extra paperwork the UK wants to inflict on their, well, everything. The EU moves really slowly, they have time. The UK position is completely bonkers by the way. They looked at the huge harmonised trade block they were a part of, the block that forces its standards onto third countries through sheer size, and said to themselves: "We want this, but worse in every way". That's what the UK is currently negotiating.

As far as I can tell, it’s in no one’s interest, certainly not the wealthy elites on either side of the aisle. Except that it keeps getting Conservatives elected. At every point I’ve thought “ok, now they’ll use this opportunity to gracefully change course” and at every point I’m wrong. I’m trying to think of a more damaging non-binding referendum in history.

That horrifying beige squid/manta ray combo is the artist's representation of president-elect Joe R Biden The cartoon's message is "liberals say big government is good, but actually, it is bad"

It seems like they're pro big government when it's enabling capitalism or being used to oppress minorities, but against it whenever it would improve peoples quality of life or provide useful services (especially if those services are for minorities).

They're 100% down for ethnonationalist or [their mindset]nationalist socialism As long as it's "people like me" or "people that think like me" that benefit, hell yeah But as soon as The Other might also benefit, hell no, they'd rather be harmed as long as The Other gets harmed more.

Honestly, this is more in line with old conspiracy theory stuff rather than his thirst for an open dictator. It's almost kind of a return to normalcy. Remember, Garrison was always loving crazy. Him turning to Trump, loving him, and wanting him to gain full control over the united states was an indication of the conspiracy world becoming part of Trump's authoritarian coalition. These people have long believed that a shadowy network of powerful forces actually control the world and that our democracy is a sham, it's nothing new for them to say an election was stolen. What's new is for a president to be saying it.

Payndz posted:One group of wealthy elites who will benefit from Brexit are those with large sums of money in UK-affiliated tax havens, who will no longer have to care about their being put on EU blacklists for non-compliance with tax transparency laws. Entirely coincidentally, some of these people are hardest-Brexit-possible Tory MPs. Weird, huh? It's even worse than that. William Rees Mogg wrote several books on economics covering what is known as disaster capitalism: inducing a crisis in a company so that the stocks and assets can be picked up for peppercorn prices before they recover their value later. One of the most prominent supporters of hard Brexit is his son Jacob, who also happens to be on the board of a hedge fund that has invested billions on currency short positions - essentially a wager that the value of the pound will be below a certain amount at a certain time. Which will happen if there is a no deal Brexit. I shouldn't have to join the dots.

No better way to show that your target has no degree than giving him a huge degree, on his wall, inscribed with the words "I don't have this". Stellar visual storytelling. Couldn't he have drawn a bunch of labeled empty frames, instead? Also you can't say use "my body my choice" as hypocrisy if you are also a hypocrite about it but just from the other side, you dumb gently caress. If you're using that argument for vaccines now you legally have to support the right to abortion, sorry.

I'm just stuck on "unelected expert". Maybe he means "neither elected, nor expert", but that's not what it says. It seems to imply that we elect experts? That being elected makes you an expert? That Gates is an expert despite not being elected? It's just a weird thing.
