I'm sure that if Scotland becomes independent and NI reunifies with Ireland, the RoUK (Rump of UK) government will immediately find some pretext to start poo poo with them.

Then the EU gets involved and we lose

The militaries of the EU are pretty underfunded but so is ours and overall there's more of them. The papers like to think the entire UK could be defended by 10 SAS/1 SBS but ultimately they'd all die like dickheads and we'd be speaking German or something.

edit: should stop reading threads backwards because this is about culture war or something, um, i'd like to think there were more woke people so it'd go much the same way but i have a bad feeling there's not

The EU has a mutual defence pact, and the US has to appear to respect self determination, so the only slim chance is to do a Russia and have totally-not-government-backed militias show up to run a mulligan on the referendum.

We have nukes, though. As of course does France. In this incredibly batshit insane scenario the EU might be marching through the glowing remains of what once was London, but Berlin and Paris aren't looking much better.

It's not about whether or not there are more woke people. It's about power. Numbers might amount to power if the number organises —lol. The likelihood is that everyone's kept distracted by constant outrage and the slow erosion of any personal power continues.

That seems like one way of reducing the number of nuclear weapons (and powers). Can we accidentally misdirect one to get Orbán too?

In fairness while I believe dietary restrictions are a thing I do not believe that old timey posh people had them, I assume they were all just extremely fussy rich people.

More of them died of constipation that you think. Diets with six types of meat or fish each day but devoid of fruit and veg will eventually catch up with you, epecially if you're dosing yourself with laudenum. Medical treatment was an ordeal unto itself, but the purging prescribed by doctors might actually have helped, temporarily. There are lots of middle-aged aristocrats who spent their final week in agony with abdominal problems, and you can sort of read between the lines as to how full of poop they were when they died.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
^^^^ just like that, actually

I wound up on yahoo/aol news and clicked a few random articles and the comments are universally loving horrible. The ones about corona are predictable in content but there was one about some dude called Dr Alex George (he was on Love Island?) saying he takes anxiety medication and urges other people to not be ashamed, etc., and the comments were all like "who cares?" "I don't give a poo poo" "Alex who?" "gently caress him, weak".

Like, why even bother posting how much you don't care? What's wrong with your brain to feel compelled to do that?

The internet has really shone a light on how mindlessly spiteful most people actually are, it's kinda depressing
