Nothing, I’m not buying anything special from that country they can fuck off.

Slowly but surely we will move all our ongoing needs away from the USA and back within the EU fully, so that they can burn in their own little corner of the dark ages as they desire, while we continue to live in present day.

Can we live in precedented times please?

Oh, there’s precedent for everything that’s happening right now…

You’re just not going to like it.

Yesss, thank you :-)

I love how Americans need a literal road blocking bump to hit with their tyres to figure out when to stop (and yet because their cars are gigantic that’s overshooting anyway).

I remember being so confused by the weird concrete stumps for ages when I lived there at first. It’s just not a thing here…

That’s because it’s illegal and you’re committing a crime on behalf of your employer.

Kinda ruined by having website branding slapped in the middle of it, especially as the majority of the poster is, if we want to talk creative property and such, ripped off from an old WWII poster.

But yeah, regardless of the why, it is very poorly placed and draws the eye far too much. There’s a reason such copyright statements are in small text in a corner, not plastered in the literal middle of an image.

They thought they were free.

What an unusual place to see news about my city! What are the odds haha.

Fascist tossers can go back where they came from that’s for sure 👍

I think the term is Nazi Collaborator.

could we ask the UK and rest of Commonwealth to help us out if things get too bad?

The UK need not have entered the last conflict against aggressive fascists when and how she did, but did so as much out of a sense of obligation to one’s friends and the moral right as anything. When conflict loomed, the UK made a defensive pact with Poland, when she could have easily just sat back and watched.

The same is true of Canada. We are no longer an empire, no longer a large and powerful nation, but if and when the US eventually takes direct aggressive military action, the UK, backed by the Allies of the new Millennium in Europe and beyond, will come to Canada’s aid.

To do any less would be to side with the fascists.

Thinking of the USA’s current lying, deceitful leader, and their increasingly aggressive moves, I’m once again reminded of Chamberlain’s address to the nation…

We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace, but a situation in which no word given by Germany’s ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage.

As such a moment as this the assurances of support that we have received from the Empire are a source of profound encouragement to us.

…Now may God bless you all and may He defend the right. For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against, brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution. And against them I am certain that the right will prevail.

And if you’ll forgive me a little more quoting of particularly famous speeches, this line about the new world comes to mind also…

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Even if one of us falls, the others will step forth to their rescue and liberation. Freedom from fascism is a universal right, and we will enforce it until we no longer can ♥️

You don’t live in a very dangerous area, then.

I keep an eye on everyone, even a woman with a kid in a pram (assuming the pram isn’t just an empty decoy) could try to mug you, people get desperate and chavs get violent. Always keep your head on a swivel, don’t trust anyone at face value just because of their gender or what they look like.

or have they

At this point if you’re still working there knowingly building a powerful fascist gathering platform after so much time available to leave, taking dirty Nazi money as payment for your services…

I dunno man… should I feel bad for the staff, or are the remaining staff complicit enough at this point?

Given that he was the one that called for it to be banned extremely vocally, and he’s not been able to keep it banned for more than a few hours even as the now leader of that country, seemingly caving under pressure to flip his stance on the matter (showing off the bat that he’s very politically weak)…

I don’t see how this makes him look anything but weak, or inept.

I’ve never even looked at it. Vine was pretty cool but then it died, Periscope was neat, but I dunno, something about Tiktok feels predatory, how addictive it is (from what I’ve seen of others using it).

Plus while they’re all as bad as each other, I still trust China less than Microsoft with my stuff, so yeah. I’m just not interested in it and don’t really see the appeal for myself. But I see why it’s popular and it’s not like, terrible, as a concept.

“The fediverse is for everyone”

Everyone? Are you sure? I can think of a lot of truly, deeply evil people we wouldn’t want anywhere near anything we’re involved in.

There’s inclusivity and freedom of expression, and then there’s groups of people that do things that are so evil and illegal and so on that I might get told off just for mentioning what those things are by name, so I won’t.

But yeah, in principle I completely agree with you of course, that there shouldn’t be barriers and limitations to who can interact with who and such, but in practical application we have to realise there are groups that absolutely should be ostracised for our own safety and to limit their growth and power over our society, sadly :-(

I don’t know what feudposting is though, but I can take a guess. I’ve never taken part in any sort of beef between instances, I don’t really notice what instance stuff comes from much at all, I just join communities that I think look cool and trust the mods and admins to handle what’s appropriate and what’s not. It’s worked very well so far, touch wood! :-)

Is this the terrible facebook memes community now?

You call that a smash? Stop sensationalising, come now.

A car gently tapped a thing during a turn and came to a stop.

Ok but then how do u explain the billions that died from the china virus vaxx jab huh huh huh

It’s a small handheld grater, you can use it to grate a little parmesan over your food, or a little zest or whatever, without needing to mess with a bigger grater.
