Remember this guy?
This is the guy who was photoed with Trump and mostly responsible for Brexit, much to the dismay of some europhiles:
Anyway, Nigel reeing here:
https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1674507257248116746
Some key quotes include
'This is serious political persecution at the very highest level of our system. If they can do it to me, they can do it to you too.'
Speaking of the importance of having a bank account, he added: 'You effectively become a non-person, you don't actually exist.
'It's like the worse regimes of the mid-20th century, be they in Russia or Germany, you literally become a non-person.
'I won't be able to have a debit card linked directly to my account. I won't really be able to exist or function in a modern 21st century Britain.'
Story here
He suspects he was cancelled as revenge for spearheading Brexit and has tried to open up 7 other bank accounts in the UK, but they all refuse. Being cancelled online is one thing. Not being able to open a bank account to exchange money is quite the next level. He's saying how stressful it's been and that he might have to move from the UK. He even claims his closest family members have had their bank accounts closed too.
Maybe commie China has come sooner than I anticipated.
There is a tiny ray of hope. No. 10 (the government) are looking into the matter and have given a warning to the banks over being too trigger happy when shutting accounts down.

I love how like once a month canada and bongland are demonstrating that they are absolutely capable of building the fourth reich or some Orwellian hellhole. I could respect that, but they are usually doing it in the gayest way possible.

The word people are using now is anarchy-tyranny. Governments and powerful institutions now perform swift, unlawful crackdowns on people they don’t like, yet they ignore violent and serious offenses by groups of people they coddle.
In the US, you see it in the major cities mostly. Kylie Rittenhouse is an example. She was put through the ringer when they had no case at all, yet the guy who ran up and pointed a gun to her head got away.

Yeah, I've been pondering that sort of thing for a while. I cannot comprehend how the US supposedly has a massive prison population of drug offenders due to "draconian drug laws" and simultaneously has a massive population of people using drugs openly and with impunity. Something doesn't add up.

The real world is not a vidya game. It's run by stupid, venal, incompetent humans with limited time and resources.
They try to frick over whoever deserves it the most (serious criminals), or who's the easiest to railroad (poor black folks), or who pisses them off the most and causes bad PR (dumb smug bitches like Kylie).
You'd do exactly the same thing: don't confuse your impotence for virtue.

Like, that last sentence hot take is genuinely stupid. Don't confuse the fact that it is insulting the reader with the fact that it is a genuinely stupid thought that your brain is generating & projecting outward.

None of your werds adds up to an idea, but if you think you'd make a better prosecutor who is magically immune to all corrupting influences and competing incentives, then by all means, do run for State's Attorney. Burgerstanis love to vote for rslurs, so maybe you'll even win. Please make your campaign slogan "bussy lamo 2024".

What no one likes to say is that a lot of those people in on insane drug sentences are massive c*nts, violent, crazy all that, and that's why they got railroaded so hard for something that so many people get off on.

Are you implying that there's some overlap between drugs and violence??? You must be Nancy Reagan!

It actually doesn't tho. Something like 90% of prison inmates are there for violent crimes. Drug dealers & addicts get slapped on the wrist over and over again because they're "nonviolent" and just have a "substance use disorder". Right up until they use a gun and they're fricked for life.
We're so busy worrying that we might hurt a crack dealer's feelings and discourage him from pursuing his dreams that we push him into catching a murder charge.

To play devils advocate, someone that got a twenty year sentence for weed would have been arrested back when people still gave a shit about the country.

the craziest thing is if you talk to the anti-fascist fandom about 1984, the don't see any parallels. I know a bongistani foid who literally just read the book and drew the conclusion that donald trump would probably like to use it as a manual, completely serious. "don't you think your government is doing the same" "...no, i hate it when you sound like a nazi though"
Read what I wrote above. Now picture in your head that I put a /s at the end. Good job sweaty!

Everyone wants to talk about dead 20th century ideologies, nobody wants to talk about Beyond Freedom and Dignity, which was literally intended as an instruction manual and is being implemented as we speak

I hate how even our liberal system’s totalitarian mechanisms are bureaucratic and gay. Either the tech/financial/media system destroys someone’s life with no recourse or they rile up some rowdies to burn someone’s house down.
