@DCinNC4@HansMahncke Utter tosh. US was built on European enlightenment thinkers. Like Locke & Bacon. The English beheaded a King, the French a ruling class, the Russians shot theirs in a wood. The intellectual & political turmoil of enlightenment Europe created the US. Jefferson was in awe them all.
@RealJamesWoods I remember that spring in 1997 when me and the kids collected all our assault rifles and grenades and marched off to the police station to give up our right to bear arms. It was the bazooka I missed most. Memories, simply beautiful and then…
@Captainmetanaut@lordmiles I live in the low-rent post industrial wasteland of Newcastle. Within the square mile of my locale I can eat delicious food from at least 20/25 countries, gastro-pubs abound & I’m 30 yds from the Michelin rated ‘Rebel’. Even supermarkets bake their own bread. UK food is stunning.
@ThoughtCrimes80@alexlindse9621 He’s just saying that your laws are retarded, y’know, like having to have ID, being asked for your papers, letting cops collect revenue, drag you out of your car, put hands on you, make you sit on the dirt. Then there’s going bankrupt for being ill. Real 3rd world shit.
@b_connerton@KnackeredStew@BulwarkOnline@campbellclaret@Timodc You believe all this nonsense because your country languishes at 55th on press freedom indices. Your police can ask for your papers. Drag you from your car. Make you sit on the floor. Arrest you for crossing the road! You can go bankrupt for healthcare costs. And you’re free?
@b_connerton@KnackeredStew@BulwarkOnline@campbellclaret@Timodc What is the worse thing you can say on the internet that your US freedom allows? Say it here, now, & accompany it with a meme that you believe a European can’t post & that you legally can. I will then repeat it by reposting it & we’ll see how long it takes for me to be jailed.
@LurkingGeorge@HoyasFan07 But that would assume that our universal healthcare & education system costs much more that yours. Yet it cost much less?
Your lack of healthcare & obviously piss poor education has nothing to do with your defence spending. It is simply what the rulers of your regime allow you.
@Knowing14557733@WilliamSch38026@HansMahncke No. I assume you don’t. We all assume you don’t. Surprising then for you to talk of humility when we no longer have any expectations, pompous or not, beyond your patent lack of it. Regardless, you seem to be doing a lot a barking. We simply wonder who is holding your lead?
@Knowing14557733@WilliamSch38026@HansMahncke What is sad is seeing how bad it is turning out for you. You have lost friends & allies & are laughed at around the world. You have given succour to dictators & tyrants & the values we used to share have gone. You have become a malign force in the world. A mere transaction.
@Robert7075307@holmes126000@MAC_Arms@HansMahncke US pay 15.8% of NATO. Just slightly under what Germany pay. Just slightly more that what UK pay. You are confusing the US defence budget with its NATO contribution. You should leave NATO and spend any monies saved on education as you don’t appear to have any?
@WilliamSch38026@HansMahncke US pays 15.8% of NATO. Same as Germany and UK. They jointly build the F35 with multiple European countries who also buy expensive kit from US companies providing thousands of US jobs. Europe would be fine without the US & collectively outspend Russia on defence by over 100%
@PoliticalStacy … &, unfortunately, you, along with your guns, are more than likely to support this tyranny. Your cops pull you out of your cars & make you sit in the dirt. They can arrest you for crossing a road. You’re cattle who have been told you’re lions & you’re dumb enough to believe it.
@PoliticalStacy Your government conducts massive overreach & moves towards authoritarianism & tyranny yet what have you done with your guns? You can never push against your state with your AR’s bcos your tyrants have gunships. You lie 17th in the world freedom index & 55th in press freedom.
@taikstudio@EricLDaugh US pays for 15.8% of Nato. Same as Germany. A little more than the UK. It’s a defensive alliance. You attacked a sovereign state whilst you were in diplomatic talks with them. You bombed their cities and killed their children. You are the bad guys here. You are the terrorists.
