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 same is happening in the USA politics. I think that Trump has been a very bad influence on Britain.
Britain needs to stand on its own two feet. They don't need to capitulate to anyone.@Anonymartyr

@soar2newhighs Agreed. I feel the exact same way about Canada.

@Anonymartyr It's the people here opposed to trump that incite the violence. These fringe leftists turn up to the events of their political opponents, create violence, then the media create articles suggesting that it was the opponents of the leftist thugs that caused this violence. Which of course escalates things more, encourages the fringe left to be even worse, because look, the media suggested their opponents were as bad as they thought. Now we leftists have to be even more violent to counter that!
@cunningcrocodile It is always both sides that are responsible. The problem is caused by one-sided thinking.

@Anonymartyr And the main culprits of this are those that go "anyone i disagree with is a fascist. I won't talk to fascists. therefore I will only talk to people who agree with me. people who agree with me state that people I disagree with are evil, and share propaganda with me smearing people I don't like as evil. Because they are evil, I can be violent towards them. Because I won't listen to differing opinions, nothing will stop these intolerant and increasingly violent views I have in my echo chamber from increasing. Oh, someone attacked someone i disagree with? That's fine they are a fascist". I only see this happening in one side, dude. The fringe left. and sorry no, blaming an innocent political group for the actions of a violent gang, stating both are to blame, is disgusting.
@cunningcrocodile Things would not be much different if the other side won. The mistake is in thinking that ANY government INTENDS to serve the people or will serve itself instead. Neither the USA nor Canada have a political party worth voting for so I suspect that its the same for most other nations as well. Few people are fit to withstand the corrupting influence of political office.

@Anonymartyr I know, and that's the point. For some reason, and they've convinced many normal people to think the same - they believe that it's completely acceptable for their side to do it. I dislike both extremes, but unfortunately it's the left that have the power and are the ones pretending that it's okay to act the way they do and go out and openly do it.
@cunningcrocodile I am self-governing. Laws are irrelevant since the things that are illegal, I do not want to do because I understand the social implications of doing these things. In fact, the threat of a lynch mob would be more effective deterrent than what we currently have. Perhaps governments should first stop enabling criminals?
