British Politics Are Getting Dangerous

Britain really is in a situation where if someone disagrees with you, "you're a fascist, therefor it's okay to throw bricks at you, as one day you may become a Nazi". That really is a genuine thought by some people in my country, this increasing joke of a country. To other nationstates, please see Britain as a warning of tolerating political violence and the fringe left.

The far left and far right want nothing more then to divide people.

As bad as each other and always have been. I'd love to say americas influence in this is having a effect bur tbh this countries always had issues politically.

@sdfdgsfasfdgsfasdasfsdgds But I don't see the far right with any establishment power encouraging division? Only the fringe left?

sdfdgsfasfdgsfasdasfsdgds · 41-45, M

@cunningcrocodile people like Farage wants nothing more then to spread discourse. It works in his favour if people hate the left and the failures of the government.

Just like he did before, before he fucked off to the States after getting his fame and money.

Edit. Ill just add Im lib dem ish. Before anyone assumes Im a socialist. I can't stand the far left or right.

@sdfdgsfasfdgsfasdasfsdgds We don't need Farage to dislike what the fringe left are doing. If anything, one of the biggest things causing me to dislike them right now are some of my friends taken in by the fringe left, spewing the most hateful rhetoric and thinking they are the good guys.

@cunningcrocodile oh Im with you on that. I have a person on the evening shift that is..interesting to say the least with her left politics.

Absolutely agree we dont need the right for that.. But they do feed each other the fuel to get worse and worse. And that discourse strengthens both sides in terms of it pushes people to one or the other
Edit: as someone else wrote seeing thinks in black and white is very dangerous and is a issue both sides tend to have

Hopefully ive explained it better this time what I mean lol

@sdfdgsfasfdgsfasdasfsdgds It wasn't that you failed to explain, I feel you felt i had no other reason to dislike the fringe left. I have some friends who complain about "white religion" (imagine if he said brown religion" or claim that the entire right side of the spectrum stabbed jo cox. And to add to how disgusting these people are, they make these provocative posts knowing that if anyone dare challenge them, an awful lot of society will defend their disgusting views out of fear. Whilst acting like the good guys.

@cunningcrocodile ahh I see, no not that I just have the milkshake incident fresh in my mind lol

Try been a straight white male in a fringe left discussion, it ain't fun even when you agree on some topics lol

cunningcrocodile · 31-35, F

@sdfdgsfasfdgsfasdasfsdgds Well, my partner is a straight, white male. But the funny thing is, he's very intelligent, well read and versed in debating. He also has a disability which isn't immediately noticeable. If a leftist is being unreasonable, he will play them at their own "judge your opponent forever on offensive speech...believe the victim, protect certain characteristics etc" game. One uninformed fool made the mistake of referring to something as "lame", which he now uses against them every argument. But only because the leftist uses that logic from the get go.

@cunningcrocodile How have the fringe left got establishment power?

Your sentence as contradicts itself.

cunningcrocodile · 31-35, F

@Burnley123 You don't think it's possible for a fringe to have control over anything? So you don't think the nazis ever had control of a state? And you're just going to disagree with that for the sake of it, I don't have time for you, today.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@cunningcrocodile When the NAZIs controlled the state, they clearly were not fringe. They also got tacit support from the centrist establishment of germany.

Have time or not, I'm making my points in a polite manner and I have good reasons to disagree.

cunningcrocodile · 31-35, F

@Burnley123 You don't think nazism is a fringe ideology, you think it's normal? And yes they did, through intimidation and lies...

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@cunningcrocodile I said that I didn't think it was a fringe ideology when it got control of the state. They started on the fringe and got bigger by taking on populist causes and taking advantage of political disillusionment. Most people who voted for Hitler in 1933 were not what you or I would understand as ideological NAZIs.

cunningcrocodile · 31-35, F

@Burnley123 They were a fringe that took control of the state. And yes they were a fringe who managed to take establishment control. Many doctors tried to save patients from their T4 program, for example, and much of the population was against T4, they had to do it in secret. Their beliefs were fringe beliefs but unfortunately they had control of the establishment so were able to do such things undercover. A fringe having establishment control really is a simple concept. The few control the many. A few with many extreme views, but because they control the narrative, it's peddled as normal. That's the only way it could be defined as not being a fringe as it gets - the state controllers censoring the idea that they are wrong.

@cunningcrocodile a little off topic here but your statement about the few controlling the many immediately made me think of may and the elitist Tory government...sorry..please don't attack me, was merely stating my thought...
