Guess he's wrong about using tax payer money to bail out banks and re-assessing the war on drugs. Guess the war in Iraq was perfectly fine too? gently caress glad you pointed out that a couple of tabloid rags on the eve of elections managed to dredge up someone to say 50 years ago he maybe said something bad.

I'll admit to saying dumb poo poo as a kid, none of the dumb poo poo I said as a kid was Hitler youth chants. Being right about somethings doesn't change being a loving Nazi, like the Nazis had decent social safety nets for people that weren't the ones being rounded up into camps and gassed, I'm not going to give them a gold star for that because they passed out enough on their own.

You don't give Nazis gold stars, they give them out.



I dont care what people say as edgy teenagers trying to make their toff mates laugh and I don't subscribe to the view that just because someone maybe said something at some point when they were in a completely different person, in completely circumstance that their ideas shouldn't be taken or supported if they're solid.

Elon musk is a loving idiot. He also deserves a medal for what he's done with starlink for the Ukrainian people.

I also completely disagree with the European union and American stance on that conflict.

All three of these things can exist at once.


Politics to me isn't black and white because picking your tribe over the truth of the situation is loving dumb and serves no one and certainly doesn't serve the working class.

So if it's support the good ideas of a dickhead who's a giant dickhead but occasionally is right I'll take that over being a supporter of someone who's a piece of poo poo through to their core like kamala Harris for example who couldn't steal a good idea, just because they're on "my team".

Having a couple non poo poo opinions about policies doesn't make him any less a boarding school produced vampire who is against gay marriage and defends lovely conversion therapy, and openly said he would be concerned if Romanians moved next door to him and other "right kind of immigrant" racist code.

Nigel Farage was proud at the height of Britain’s far right movement that his initials NF also stood for National Front, according to a close school friend who after years of silence says he now wants the public to understand more about the man.

He also claims the teenage Mr Farage sang “gas ‘em all, gas ‘em all”, a neo-Nazi song about Jewish people.

Well my original point was one idea was so clearly a con and was stoking racial animus to get what he wanted and soon as he did he dumped without any pretense means I wouldn't want him governing a game of CIV6 much less actual living humans.

All the other stuff can overshadow whatever non-objectionable opinions he held.

The cool thing about good ideas is that they're almost never exclusive to just one person. If some shitheel happens to also promote one or two good ideas, you can probably look around and find some non-shitheels who agree with those specific ideas, and like... elect them, instead.

It's like a french foccacia but slightly less wet and oiled, but same sort of thing, herbaceous bread with some salt and you slash it so it looks like a leaf, but you also get more end pieces so there's more nice crispy bits to tear off and dip into a soup or a pesto.

Kanye is way too far down the road of being in an extremely elite bubble and not wanting to deal with whatever issues he has. It feels like he snapped when his mom died and this is just a long, protracted flailing. He’s about to get cut by Adidas and GAP both, an historic fumbling of the bag.

My cousin recently got a job with DC and worked on promoting the film, though I'm not 100% sure what her specific role was.
