The biggest con in Western politics is how progressivist politicians with totalitarian instincts are presented as harmless, decent, well-meaning individuals.
We're banning raves, because we don't want you having fun where we can't watch you. By the way let me tell you about Woodstock.
We're cracking down on underage drinking. It's bad for you. Yeah of course we hit up the pubs at your age it was great.
We're banning smoking, but just for you - the smoking age will go up one year every year. Oh yes of course, we used to be able to smoke inside everywhere, it was great really.
We're banning flavored vapes. We don't have any evidence they're bad for you, you just like them too much.
We're banning dodgeball during recess, someone might get hurt. Yeah we really enjoyed dodgeball too.
We're banning flirting, because it might make the girls uncomfortable.
We're locking you in your room for the next two years. Yes we know you're in no danger from the virus, but we're worried that you'll get us sick. By the way you have to take this needle if you want to leave your room again. Yes, twice. Well there will be boosters too. No, we aren't worried about side effects, that doesn't effect us at all.
We're closing the frat houses, because we don't want you having fun without our permission. Please join these officially sanctioned university clubs instead.
We're bringing in labor from the third world to work the service jobs, so you can't have a summer job.
You need to go to university to get a good job. By the way we're raising the price of tuition. Oh look we're raising it again. Don't worry there are loans. At interest.
Actually we're giving the good jobs to the foreigners we just imported, to make up for our racist past. We are very good people. No of course we aren't sacrificing anything. You just have to take one for the team.
Also, we're giving the foreigners the houses. We needed to increase real estate prices. For our pensions, you see. Sadly no, you'll probably never be able to afford one yourself. By the way don't forget to pay your taxes. Need to support those pensions somehow! Eh? No, we're giving ourselves tax breaks of course. Seniors discount you know.
Oh by the way, that one thing you still have, now that we've banned joy and kicked every ladder out from under you? That social media stuff you kids like? You guessed it! We're banning that too! Just for you though, we're still going to watch AI videos on Facebook. It's for your safety, you see. We've noticed that you're all getting rather irate, and we think it would be better for your mental health if you shut up for a while. Why don't you just go outside?
Eh? No of course we aren't going to stop Ahmed and his twelve illiterate cousins from raping your sister, that would be culturally insensitive, which would make us feel very bad, and we can't have that.
Presenter: "She is 13 years old"
Rapists father: "Yes...obviously some responsibility lies with her."
This man legitimately thinks the Presenter was pointing out the victims age in order to make a point that she was OLD enough to know better. Know better than what? Know better than getting raped by your monster of a son? Rape victims have no particular age profile. But the rape of children is particularly heinous. No wonder this mans son ended up as a rapist...when his father has this deplorable attitude. It is inherent in their religion that white women are fair game.
Sandy Petersen, the designer of Doom, Quake, Call of Cthulhu, and Age of Empires, responding on social media to fans asking how to save Blizzard:
"We don't need to save Blizzard. We didn't need to save Microsoft or id Software or Ensemble Studios or Atari. We don't need to save ANY game company. If they die, they die. They will be replaced with new, likely superior game companies. Gaming continues."
The man who helped build the foundations of modern gaming says let the industry's legacy studios die. Is he right?
The Royal Society for Blind Children and the National Deaf Children's Society have both come out against the Starmer social media ban.
"Internet bad" is a trendy, upper-middle-class opinion for people with extracurricular budgets that ignores legions of people who rely on it.
Every adult being forced to upload passports or driver’s licences to multiple private companies just to use the Internet is an Aladdins cave for hackers. You’ve no idea where that data ends up, who gets access to it. Once your data is out there, you don’t get it back.
If remigrating large numbers of people to their homeland is ethnic cleansing then surely large numbers of people immigrating to someone else’s homeland is too.
Lefties in Brighton Chanting
"Rhiannon Whyte deserved it" right to Rhiannon's mothers face
When Siobhan raised the issue with the police, they SHOVED her down onto the floor!
Rhiannon Whyte was murdered by an illegal immigrant who resided at the hotel that Rhiannon worked at - and lefties think it's okay to mock her death straight to her mother's face.
These people are genuinely DISGUSTING
Brits will be sitting outside a cafe on their phones when a police officer will suddenly be standing before them "do you have your digital licence to be on social media?"
This all seems to be a ploy to link IP addresses and online activity directly to an identifiable person to make them easier to catch and track down. The government falsely assumed that everyone watches porn and they thought they would get everyone that way. It obviously did not work as well as they were hoping so they are now expanding it. (I have always said that initial laws are just a foot in the door, those laws will always be expanding after the fact into their true original intended purpose).
So their plan now is if you want to use any social media or much of the internet in any way, you will need to prove that you are over 18 which means submitting an ID. This will require far far more ID submissions which will massively expand the government database, which was the real plan all along, not the safety of children.
The funniest thing about this is after all the fuss about the Online Safety Act, this blanket ban on kids using social media pretty much renders the entire act pointless and made it a giant waste of time. Which to be honest, proves that the act was never about protecting children but was really about building a giant database that links all online activity directly to a person.
This database would then be constantly poured over by AI to flag "citizens of concern" to the government who may be potential political dissidents, saying naughty anti-government things etc so the government can pre-emptively act against them.
Minority Report. This is literally the plot of Minority Report.
@PolitlcsUK “Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards”
And this is what it’s really all about. Disgusting
It's not bizzare when you surmise that this app is politically left leaning, and what Starmer is doing is trying to funnel impressionable children to the site.
“One App to rule them all”: PADDY MANNING on the Euro Digital ID Wallet. We should not have to ask permission from government to use the internet - and that’s before the fact that hackers will love this state-enforced digital wallet.

For those who cant connect the dots, the UK government just announced that EVERYONE must prove they are not a child accessing social media. To do this you now need a digital ID conveniently provided by them and permission to post or access information that otherwise was freely accessible. If they dont want vast swathes of people, namely political opponents, accessing information they can simply turn your access off. Your opinions online and your right to privacy have now been subjugated to permission from a government that arrests and fines people for tweets.
Regarding safety for children there are parental controls on phones already.
At the rate of speed the UK and western nations are rushing to authoritarianism we should always pause to think of 2nd and 3rd order of consequences
@RonanMullen@DrAseemMalhotra@SenatorKeogan
How do you verify a phone/social media account is in the hands of a child?
Identification
And how do you seperate children from adults?
You then make EVERYONE identify themselves before access.
So what the government has done is put a permission to access on a public forum.
Regarding safety for children, phones already have parental controls. It isnt the job of the government to interfere between parent and child. Parents just need to do better.
@RonanMullen It is not the states role to interfere with parenting. Controls already exist on phones that parents can access and use. To copy UK Labour is to become a nanny state.
So this is how Brighton Lefties & police think it's ok to abuse myself and my daughters , then say my daughter Rhiannon deserved to die at the hands of an illegal migrant. What do the police do? Fk me onto the floor! But not allowed to incite violence ,clowns 🤡
Les doigts enfoncés dans les yeux jusqu'à l'estomac jusqu'à foutre 6 mois d'allez-retours au bloc opératoire à l'adversaire la dernière fois, maintenant une dizaine de coups derrière la tête en dix secondes ptdr pour son prochain combat on pourrait directement le laisser prendre un couteau ou pourquoi pas rentrer dans la cage avec trois potes à lui tant qu'à faire.
