This is so fucking funny lmao, they’re doing all the neoliberal budget cuts and anti-poor policies, being a servile dog of the USA, and yet they want regime change.

i think it was on the east is a podcast, they spoke about lessons learned from assad and how it should be understood he tried to meet the demands of the USA and they still regime changed him.

can’t satiate the thirst of capitalist ambitions I’m afraid.

Labour in their infinite wisdom sent advisors to work with the Harris campaign against Trump. I think he hates Starmer on a personal level at this point, and wants revenge.

Just goes to show to any naive liberals. No concessions will ever be good enough.

Labour could replace pride month with Hitler month, replace labor day with capital day. And Britons will STILL vote Reform just so they can popular online.

It is easier for leftists to infiltrate fascist parties and wear their mask to trick the masses into voting for us than to actually run alongside so-called “left-wing” parties.

Basically what happened in Canada too. Trudeau defunded federal programs, capped immigration and gave tax cuts and to no one’s surprise, the right still hate him

For the entirety of Obama’s presidency, republicans demonized the ACA, a healthcare plan created by Mitt Romney when he was governor. For years, they went on about “repeal and replace.” Republicans even embraced the Clinton campaign’s birther conspiracy. Obama upheld the Bush Doctrine, deported more people than Bush, and implemented republican economics to deal with the recession.

They still make effigies of the guy years after he’s left office.

I’ve joked about it before, but the left would have an easier time doing entryism to right-wing parties and passing progressive policies while no one is looking.

There was contempt for Starmer’s policies and worldview but most interestingly, there was a sense of pity for all the Britons they ran into.

“I’m so sorry for what’s happened to your country,” said one.

“Britain used to be great, we need to make it great again,” added another.

“What has happened to your country?” yet another asked.

And so it went on.

If a yank says this shit to most Brits the reaction they’ll get is complete and total contempt. Americans are unpopular with everyone here, dare I say it they’re more unpopular than the French, especially anyone that’s pro-palestine.

Also within british culture there’s a sort of “nobody criticises where I live except me” attitude. I’ve seen people who regularly say they hate the town they’re from suddenly become stauch defenders of it when someone from the next town over dares to say anything bad. They can’t inject that shit from americans it has to come through brits or the natural reaction to it most will have is defensive.

Bold attitude to have for people who have invaded nearly every country in the world. I’ll continue criticising them thanks.

As for yanks criticising brits, bite each other’s dicks off

really? i constantly see shit unprompted from america thats all “USA NUMBER 1!!!” “best country on earth 🇺🇸🏈” “philly best city 🙌🙌🙌” “#texan pride” “east coast represent!” and so on, its pretty much a universal stereotype of usamericans. you never see that sort of shit in the UK. is it maybe a generational usamerican thing or it’s only in the media or something?

the only exception to this that i’ve seen is “can’t have shit in detroit”, which i’m lead to believe is mostly racism.

Me, when talking to communists: Stalin made a lot of mistakes and we should avoid them in the future.

Me, when talking to liberals: the only mistake Stalin made was stopping at Berlin.
