@brianguythat@Lance63@BoyGeorge@alphajumbo@edsheeran “Lefty” this “Islamist” that - you are a 2 dimensional thinker who goes with their emotions above all else. Look at pictures of before and after of residential towns in Gaza. Absolutely flattened for miles upon miles with not a single building standing.
@brianguythat@Lance63@BoyGeorge@alphajumbo@edsheeran Just pure in denial. For the record, I’m not a fan of Islam and believe it is incompatible with my countries values. You can both disagree with Muslims and also fairly recognise when they are being slaughtered and wiped out of their own land. You aren’t clever for denying it.
@brianguythat@Lance63@BoyGeorge@alphajumbo@edsheeran What else could Israel be doing but a genocide though? It may have been dry and sunny today, but Israel are literally killing with the purpose of displacing Palestinians from their own homes.
@JawadScumstein@gael_anglo1729@Samandavery2019 just pure threatening sexual abuse and wishing death, not exactly a shining example of Ireland being anything but a happy place to live 😭
@JawadScumstein@gael_anglo1729@Samandavery2019 just making up scenarios in ur head to make urself feel better. I thought u were actually a semi-normal person at first, turns out I was speaking to a very strange person all along.
@JawadScumstein@gael_anglo1729@Samandavery2019 saddest part is you weren’t even being witty or funny. just straight up “hope u get severely injured in a car accident”. I can take solace knowing statistically YOU are more likely to be killed in a car accident, considering Ireland has almost double the rate of vehicular deaths
@gael_anglo1729@JawadScumstein@Samandavery2019 If this was anyone else and you were in my shoes defending your country and someone just pulled a figure with a bigger number and said “haha, I win”, how would you feel? Very nuanced studies have gone into life satisfaction research, and the US never beats the UK… ever…
@gael_anglo1729@JawadScumstein@Samandavery2019 Just completely disregarding the fact that healthcare, mandatory paid holiday, extra worker rights and protections ARENT included. Nor is the cheaper cost of living in the UK. Do better. You just pull individual figures and go “higher number means we are better” with zero nuance
@JawadScumstein@Samandavery2019@gael_anglo1729 It is a shithole, mate. Also the whole reason I called it a shithole was to make an example out of GDP per capita being a bad metric for how ‘good’ somewhere is. we can both take pride that we live somewhere better than the US at least
@gael_anglo1729@JawadScumstein@Samandavery2019 “It happens in court all the time, and I recognise this is a bad thing - I’m going to continue to perpetuate this trend and *somehow* use it simultaneously as a defence for giving out accusation without evidence”
@gael_anglo1729@JawadScumstein@Samandavery2019 Btw the US doesn’t record arrests due to online speech in a neat category like the UK. The UK categorises its arrests and national data very astutely. We have no idea how many arrests stem from online speech in the US, all we know is that it does indeed happen just like the UK
@SmoothbrainChud@OurCrazyWorldT@mulronie Just as many, as a proportion of your population, emigrate from the US to the EU/UK each year than EU/UK citizens emigrate to the US. People emigrate for all sorts of reasons, but it definitely isn’t for your individual protections. your country isn’t as desired as you think
@JawadScumstein@Samandavery2019@gael_anglo1729@mulronie Oh yeah don’t worry, I’m not saying England or the UK generally is better - we are arguably worse in many respects. I’m saying that despite having the 2nd highest GDP per capita in the world, you aren’t exactly rich or happy. Hence my argument GPD per cap is a bad metric for this
