A british girl came over here w/ her family when i was in the 10th grade and she made it about a year being a racist snob before a mexican girl ripped her a new rear end in a top hat. I doubt that fixed the problem but that was probably the most violence an american had done to a brit since 1812. That's my story about british people surviving in texas

Yeah it's actually kind of scary to think about. A critical mass of really bad erratic decisions over a short period on a global scale in a time of serious economic instability and rampant security concerns inspired mostly by xenophobia sounds like a great recipe for World War 3 or something.

lol yeah dude

i don't think you realise but any leftist most definitely opposes the neoliberal hellhole that is the EU

the worrying part of brexit for leftists is not the consequences of the vote itself, rather that the result was undeniably swayed to leave by the ridiculous racist and nationalist sentiment being espoused as of late

defining leftist narrowly as "old bitch reflexively sucking off pravda" yeah this is all true

Johnson had a vision for a great society of New Deal expansion that's buried under the legacy of Vietnam which he probably doesn't deserve tbh, so he was the last democrat president trying to be FDRish sort of left wing like actually minding the welfare of the working class.

Agitating, being cantankerous in public while doing weird yippie performance art to make your point in public, being utterly unwilling to speak on terms that make sense to anyone outside your little sphere that not only alienates people from joining you, actively causes schisms, and tons of other whack tendencies just makes people screw their face up and hate leftism.

ever hear the phrase "make the economy scream" (coined by Nixon) well that's what the elites do when they are mad, they can;t keep this up for too long because it hurts them too

this made me google things which turned up this

quote:


In the fall of 1968, Kissinger, then a key adviser to President Lyndon Johnson’s Vietnam peace talks, informed candidate Richard Nixon that a truce between the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government and communist North Vietnam was near. Afraid that a breakthrough in the talks would harm Nixon’s political prospects against Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey, Nixon’s campaign had Anna Chennault, a Nixon liaison to South Vietnam, advise South Vietnam’s government that it would get better terms if it waited on a deal until Nixon was elected. The South Vietnam government obediently backed away from the talks. Nixon was elected soon thereafter and the war continued for four more years.

You are likely to be told to "go gently caress yourself" if you say "love it or leave it" at people.
