I actually have my own conspiracy theory that Brits are by nature on some deep subconscious level more comfortable with the idea of rule by tyranny and prefer a status quo with small groups of unaccountable elites due to their history. It seems built in.
There was a time all liberals were deeply suspicious of an over reaching state apparatus, books like Orwellâs 1984 were considered good reading and an omen of what might come to pass.
I think due to partisan interests you are no longer able to separate objective reality from partisan politics.
Itâs a shame, this at a time China is exerting pressure over HK to submit to itâs authoritarian tendencies, their only concern in the land of the free is Drumpf. 24/7, impeach him again is what I say, let the names of Pelosi, Nadler and Schiff live on in infamy for centuries to come.
Really? Because if weâre breaking it down to that level I think youâve completely insulated yourself from reality with a coccoon of fake news. You have no idea what is going on in the US, the version you present is an utter fiction found in blogs.
Then, like you, they got older, ended up with good paying jobs and insulated themselves with right wing dogma and enjoyed the tax cuts
Letâs get something clear: China = Trump. America = Hong Kong.
Dont get it twisted. You know precious little about my country and nothing of what most Americans think and feel here outside of the right wing netosphere. That is not America. I wish youâd talk about British politics. Iâd like to learn about that more.
My kids teacher died today. That was kinda the main headline.
Aaaaand with that, I will sign off, Iâm sorry, you have strayed too far into the realm of absurdity to even fathom how to formulate a response, have a good day and sorry for the loss of your kids teacher.
@Mick I remember you talking about Qanon on one of these threads. Coincidentally, the BBC played a short document that I caught this week. Do you know if some people are like half in, or do most believe all of it? Or is it just a source to get info like you mentioned.
This part really stood out to me.
"At its heart, QAnon is a wide-ranging, unfounded conspiracy theory that says that Donald Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping paedophiles in government, business and the media.
QAnon believers have speculated that this fight will lead to a day of reckoning where prominent people such as Hillary Clinton will be arrested and executed."
Not much happens on QAnon, there have been about 5 tweets, or posts, or links to some twitter feed in the last week. Itâs not at all like CNN where itâs 24/7.
I use it as an eye to what goes on with the chans, take it with a big spoon of salt. But some topics are worthy of thought, did it appear more than coincidental that Julian Assangeâs lockup occurred at just the same time Mueller released his report?
Facebook this week took down one of the largest QAnon conspiracy theory groups on the platform over harassment and misinformation violations, a Facebook spokesperson told Reuters.
The 200,000-member group titled âOfficial Q/Qanonâ was taken down on Tuesday after several posts were removed for violating Facebookâs guidelines on bullying and harassment, hate speech and false information that could lead to harm.
Facebook did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Hill.
Last month, Twitter banned thousands of QAnon accounts on its platform as part of a crackdown on the conspiracy theory groups. A Facebook spokesperson told Reuters they are following suit and strengthening their own enforcement against the groups.
Oh I donât read them much anymoreâŚjust go to the data or source. They are good at providing the source link. They have definitely gotten a bit overblown of late and they come of as strongly partisan unlike when they were young, honest and poor struggling Conservative lawyers. Iâve brought it up before, when linking to Powerline. The head guy is a mid-tier regular on Foxâs white manâs opinion late night shows.
ps: Yeah I checked, JOHN HINDERAKER is the head guy and he wrote this piece.
You forgot Miles Taylor, the former Homeland Security chief of staff Trump said he never met, until the picture of them giving a big thumbs-up together emerged
I forgot to post that one actually. But thatâs just another day for orangeman, never having met anyone. Itâs best when heâs never heard of universally known crazy, and racist organizations.
