It's hard to work out which thread is less-informed, although the /r/worldnews one does have a comment complaining that only 90,000 people voted for him so he's illegally in power.
Wait until this happens to Germany. Merkel has run her coalition into the ground, and the Canadian poulation is about to dump Trudeau as well. Gonna be fun few years.
But I had read we're woker than ever because The New Yorker was publishing National Enquirer stories about powerful famous men jerking off in front of barely legal hotties, as though it was laudable and even profoundly moral that the public wanted to read about this shit.
I dont think they will. They wont have enough votes to be a majority alone, and no other party is gonna join with them. It will probably the hippie party plus two others.
Any seats gained by the AfD will be construed as "winning" by American media as they don't understand how proportional representation works (or really any non-binary system for that matter).
And then the Germans will complain, but they complain about everything anyway.
I wouldn’t give that a guarantee - they only picked up about 10% in the EU parliament elections - given the type of person more likely to vote in them and their 2017 performance.
If it isn't right wing Anglo eyes immediately glaze over
Greens have been leading going until the next election and literally the only thing any Anglo can remember about German politics is that one time a couple years back where AfD was ahead of SDP.
How is it that every green party turns out to be a bunch of insane commies? I don't think I've seen a single one that wasn't half denial of science, half denial of history and economics.
Commies and Greens attract the exact same type of person: someone with a messianic attitude who wants to remake all of society in line with their pet theory, regardless of the wishes of the majority (because they know better). Not surprising that there's a lot of overlap.
Yeah, in the German system the fringe nuts can't hijack the main parties as easily. It'll just be increasingly ramshackle centrist coalition governments.
Green party is more likely actually, the AfD peaked a long time ago. It just sticks in the minds of anglos because they're obsessed with the right. But the story of the past year has definitely been the ascent of the Greens, the AfD had been stagnant and receding ever since the last election.
For maximum drama, Daddy should lose in a mirror to 2000. He wins the popular vote, wins every state necessary, and gets cucked by the SC out of a win in Florida. Preferably in a 5-4 decision against Trump through the vote of Gorsuch or Kavanaugh.
Actual maximum drama is the dems somehow removing the electoral college and Trump winning with the popular vote when he would of lost from the college votes.
from once great colonial power that owned half the world, both in territory and slaves, to being cucked by a union of cucks and now having a cheap replica of the real thing
Of all the adversarial countries in the Cold War, only two are left. Every other one either collapsed or reformed. Of the two that didn't, one is an isolated island. The other is North Korea.
Dictatorship is a constant struggle to maintain, and doing so is no easy task. Dudes obviously not a good guy, but Kim is nevertheless an intelligent political player.

If North Korea citizens today, suddenly saw through all of Kim’s bullshit, Kim would go insane. That’s also one of his biggest fears in regards to his citizens.

A good number do, the problem is that isn't enough to threaten the regime. NK is one of the very few truly totalitarian regimes, and his personality cult isn't the only reason to why it is successful, it is also the fact the regime is so entrenched into the society that they can actively prevent any sort of opposition or anti-government force to arise in the country. That isn't an easy thing to create and maintain, and neither is it easy to achieve and maintain the reigns as the head of state.
Kim may be paranoid, but it doesn't mean that he's foolish. Paranoia is pretty helpful when there actually are people out to get you.
I hope one day people get tired of his shit and publicly lynch him. Estimates say upto 20k might have been killed as part of his "war against drugs" . The govt brushed off the death of a 3 year old last week as collateral damage. They're claiming the baby was used as a human shield like it makes it any better.
That's the polices word though. The human shield argument can be problematic, it has huge utility to the police of military in reversing the responsibility for a killing, and often is difficult to impossible to disprove, all they have to do is issue the claim and they're off the hook. I feel like it probably gets abused more than we realize.
Now they're literally imprisoning opposition politicians and sicking their death squads on opposition activists and journalists, color me shocked. Like who could have predicted this, he double pinkie promised that he'd only use his arbitrary power of life and death that Filipinos granted him on the baddies. Who would violate a double pinkie promise and just start killing whoever they wanted? Literally unthinkable.
I mean, Pinoy Daddy has basically allowed for state-sponsored mob lynchings against anyone he doesn't like because "WAR ON DRUGS!" Orange Daddy wishes he had the balls to try shit like that.
What was the better choice then? Jeremy Hunt was easily the least popular conservative politician, and they'd already exhausted the supply of non offensive lackwits
That's a great album, but AM was legendary. It's like one of the few critically and commercially successful rock albums of the 2010's.
Youtube views for these songs:
Do I wanna Know?- 750 Million
R U Mine? 240 Million
Why'd you only call me when you're high? 80 Million
Arabella 71 Million
One For The Road 45 Million
If AM would have bombed in sales you'd get everyone saying "OMG It's one of the best rock albums of all time!" but because it's successful it's "mainstream trash".
Lol nope. Arctic Monkeys was a band built purely on catchiness and energy, with some british accent/flavor on top.
On anything but the first two albums, they dropped the energy and the british flavor and are left with some catchiness - and everyone calls them "mature", when in reality they just got boring, took something that made them alright away and added nothing.
It's not like the songs are complex, or layered, or emotional, they're just boring, uninspired rock that's not even energetic anymore.
If I'm being entirely honest I think a large part of the dislike for AM from the original fanbase is Alex Turner's make over. If you liked him because he looked like [this](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/ab/8d/a0/ab8da0bb172132b3cb2190177d5fb7a9.jpg ) and wrote about getting swerved on by cute girls but not caring and underage drinking then it's reasonable that you wouldn't like him when he looks like [this]( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BcMEqp6IQAAix6O.jpg ) and is writing about getting his heartbroken or being nigh obsessed with a girl(DIWK, R U Mine, Fireside).
​
And if you want to state your opinion, you have to state what *you'd* put as the best rock album of 2010s.
People want to turn him into that, but he's actually an intelligent, shrewd man who uses a bumbling persona to keep people off-guard. He used to be the editor of The Spectator, which is hardly People magazine.
My main worry is that he does too many things for self-promotion and not the good of the people.
The difference is he has legitimate academic credentials unlike Trump. Both went to top schools but Johnson went on merit scholarships while Trump got in on "donations" to the school.
leftist cope, his university had 97% approval rating, only a small bunch of triggered libtards who didn't apply themselves sued Trump to tank his chances during his 2016 campaign, it's great seeing them and you seething that you couldn't stop the Trump train
You do realize most of those federal lawsuits predated his presidential run, right? The first one was in 2005, the next one in 2013, it just didn't get resolved until 2015. It's not cope my friend, its literally just a shit school. The first lawsuit was literally about calling itself a university despite not offering degrees or being accredited anywhere.
well i didn't say that libtards didn't exist prior to 2016, Trump had to endure this type of behaviour for years and years before even running, still the silent majority has spoken and 97% of respondents loved it and 2016 electoral landslide
well i didn't say that libtards didn't exist prior to 2016
Pretty sure the first libtards were born in 2014 when Zoe Quinn and Anita had lesbian sex together for good reviews and when their pussyjuices were heated together enough by rubbing they morphed into a baby. That's why liberals are so weak and pussified, they literally come from 2 pussies and no balls.
Hard to find a worse sub. I ditched them for /r/casualuk years ago. I wonder if they still bitterly complain that /r/ukpolitics (also a lefty echo chamber) is a right-wing shit hole.
He was a based radical centrist. He got rid of the economic illiteracy in the Labour party, and beat the conservatives at their own game whilst not being one of them.
He also started a war in Iraq just to create drama.
you're right; probably only Thatcher today is a more divisive figure.
From what little i gathered, it seems that they have left themselves no other choice. The negotiations were laughable and there is no going back to them. Also, another referendum would cause serious social unrest if someone actually brought it.
There already was no other option. It's either democracy doesn't exist and the government is never trusted again which results in rightoids rising up like gamers or they leave peacefully some of the left intact. God knows may is stalling at every corner at hilarious effect.
There's almost certainly going to be an attempt from the moderate wing of the Tories to torpedo or bypass their own government first. This farce isn't over yet
So how many retards, bong and burger, are going to call the veteran political insider and former mayor of London "Britain's Trump"?
Like, you have such a wide variety of things you can say about this. If you go all "blonde man bad" then seriously you deserve to have your hands cut off
Wannabe dictators are so boring though. We already have actual ones and at least closer ones in countries like NK and China. I wanna see more crazy left wing national leaders
Will we be getting a new general election or shall we start planning our revolution now?
.
That’s it. We now have a fascist in charge of the country. The time for peaceful resistance is over we will have concentration camps for Muslims by the end of next year and we won’t even get the chance to vote in Corbyn as Boris will suspend elections indefinitely.
The time for peaceful resistance is over. We need action.
Every single comment is calling the right racist, retarded, sexist, etc. Zero self-awareness or attempt to understand why this keeps happening by the left on this site per usual. What happened to them being the party of empathy? It's never on display.
Im guessing you think this unironically, you should stop hiding your retarded takes by pretending their jokes, shout to the world how the wealthy liberal elite want simulatenously higher tax on themselves and free stuff for the poors, who are also them.
It really is quite amazing that even though one country after another elects right leaning leaders, they have never stopped once to consider that maybe they are ones who are wrong.
It never quite stops amazing me seeing retarded rightoid takes, you just implied rightoid leaders might be right because they are elected democratically except all the rightoid leaders tend to lose the popular vote.
I've increasingly been thinking that religion is an integral part of human psychology, and the sublimation of the urges it satisfies into secular ideologies is a recipe for misery.
Quick question, does Mr. Johnson have the power to launch nuclear missiles (not by himself of course, although...)?
I am European, Boris despises us, as of now, I fear for my life...
I cannot understand how reddit is so stupid. Daddy literally got in trouble for vaguely suggesting nuking Afghanistan, I’m sure Boris is just itching to wipe Belgium off the map.
Proving any thing yanks cand do Brits can top them, yanks elect a dumb ignorant mysoginistic pervert, lying cowardly braggard in true Mussolini fashion who's one cell brain is fading fast. Where as Brits get elected by their lord & masters Tory party a buffoon who is in the same bracket as Trump, but where Brits top the yanks is that bonking Boris is highly educated, & that makes him a truly dangerous cunt to be in charge of anything.
Yep typical right wing reply, insult( that like water off a ducks back to me) but knothing constructive, well its so hard to debate any topic when one is brain dead. Or to defend Trump or Johnson when they are along with their suppoerters the laughing stock of the entire sane global world. 😂😂😂

A good number do, the problem is that isn't enough to threaten the regime. NK is one of the very few truly totalitarian regimes, and his personality cult isn't the only reason to why it is successful, it is also the fact the regime is so entrenched into the society that they can actively prevent any sort of opposition or anti-government force to arise in the country. That isn't an easy thing to create and maintain, and neither is it easy to achieve and maintain the reigns as the head of state.

They've already produced the best rock album of the 2010s with AM so they're still producing good music
1 fauxbreaux 2019-07-23
Cope
1 JamesYSmithson 2019-07-23
That's a great album, but AM was legendary. It's like one of the few critically and commercially successful rock albums of the 2010's.
Youtube views for these songs:
Do I wanna Know?- 750 Million
R U Mine? 240 Million
Why'd you only call me when you're high? 80 Million
Arabella 71 Million
One For The Road 45 Million
If AM would have bombed in sales you'd get everyone saying "OMG It's one of the best rock albums of all time!" but because it's successful it's "mainstream trash".
Just my take.
1 Woolgun 2019-07-23
Lol nope. Arctic Monkeys was a band built purely on catchiness and energy, with some british accent/flavor on top.
On anything but the first two albums, they dropped the energy and the british flavor and are left with some catchiness - and everyone calls them "mature", when in reality they just got boring, took something that made them alright away and added nothing.
It's not like the songs are complex, or layered, or emotional, they're just boring, uninspired rock that's not even energetic anymore.
1 JamesYSmithson 2019-07-23
AM is easily one of the most inspired, emotional rock albums of the 2010s and I'd argue of this century.
​
*Do I Wanna Know?* is a rock classic, it's a *true* heartbreak song set to an iconic guitar riff.
​
As for lyricism/complexity AM is full of it. The [bridge of Arabella/the solo](https://youtu.be/Nj8r3qmOoZ8?t=187) is spectacular.
​
If I'm being entirely honest I think a large part of the dislike for AM from the original fanbase is Alex Turner's make over. If you liked him because he looked like [this](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/ab/8d/a0/ab8da0bb172132b3cb2190177d5fb7a9.jpg ) and wrote about getting swerved on by cute girls but not caring and underage drinking then it's reasonable that you wouldn't like him when he looks like [this]( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BcMEqp6IQAAix6O.jpg ) and is writing about getting his heartbroken or being nigh obsessed with a girl(DIWK, R U Mine, Fireside).
​
And if you want to state your opinion, you have to state what *you'd* put as the best rock album of 2010s.
1 ajiibrubf 2019-07-23
i don't know much about britbong politics, but by the comments in the link, is he supposed to the tea-drinking version of trump?
1 Rocketteman 2019-07-23
People want to turn him into that, but he's actually an intelligent, shrewd man who uses a bumbling persona to keep people off-guard. He used to be the editor of The Spectator, which is hardly People magazine.
My main worry is that he does too many things for self-promotion and not the good of the people.
1 ajiibrubf 2019-07-23
isn't that literally how rightoids describe trump? 4d chess and all?
1 KaposGetOut 2019-07-23
The difference is he has legitimate academic credentials unlike Trump. Both went to top schools but Johnson went on merit scholarships while Trump got in on "donations" to the school.
1 Tytos_Lannister 2019-07-23
motherfucker Trump owned and operated one of the best universities on this goddamn planet, he be like the definition of the word smart
1 Kingfastguy 2019-07-23
lol Trump University? Right, that famous for-profit unversity that totally hasn't been sued a few times now for being a bit of a scam.
1 Tytos_Lannister 2019-07-23
leftist cope, his university had 97% approval rating, only a small bunch of triggered libtards who didn't apply themselves sued Trump to tank his chances during his 2016 campaign, it's great seeing them and you seething that you couldn't stop the Trump train
1 Kingfastguy 2019-07-23
You do realize most of those federal lawsuits predated his presidential run, right? The first one was in 2005, the next one in 2013, it just didn't get resolved until 2015. It's not cope my friend, its literally just a shit school. The first lawsuit was literally about calling itself a university despite not offering degrees or being accredited anywhere.

1 WistopherWalken 2019-07-23
The fact that they closed down the revolutionary institute, TU, means that burgerstanis dont want to and will never be educated.

Pretty sure the first libtards were born in 2014 when Zoe Quinn and Anita had lesbian sex together for good reviews and when their pussyjuices were heated together enough by rubbing they morphed into a baby. That's why liberals are so weak and pussified, they literally come from 2 pussies and no balls.

He was a based radical centrist. He got rid of the economic illiteracy in the Labour party, and beat the conservatives at their own game whilst not being one of them.
He also started a war in Iraq just to create drama.
you're right; probably only Thatcher today is a more divisive figure.
