Oh Jesus Christ you live in the bubble please live in the real world for god’s sake you disingenuous twat.

He is a Nazi I don’t care if you don’t like that word he is a Nazi, and you are a Nazi apologist. Please get yourself an education. Immigration is not a justification for being a fascist, it is an excuse he is using

Nigel farage literally (as in he actually did this) posed in front of a poster that was styled on Nazi propaganda. The only people making them out to be Nazis are themselves, they are being Nazis and people are pointing it out, that’s not people defaming them, that’s people pointing out that they are being Nazis. People like you are allow the hard right thrive, the bigots and racists are allowed to exist because apologists like you make excuses for them.

Please be better. Or if you can’t be better at least stop spreading your uninformed opinions on the internet, no one needs to hear the opinions of a Nazi apologist.

Here is a link in case you might want to possibly educate yourself. I recommended it because currently you sound like a tit.

You’re taking data out of context. You can make it say anything when you do that.

Labour won with fewer votes than they got in the last election which they lost. That tells me that this was mostly a protest vote people weren’t voting for any particular party that were voting for not to the conservatives.

But in the 2025 election the conservatives won’t be in power and so there won’t be a protest vote against them. If reform do well in those elections that would be evidence of a shift until then the balance of probability is simply that they were the obvious processed vote for the right-wing inclined that did not want to vote for the conservatives.

You cannot draw any conclusions from the results of such a politically unstable period.

Additionally I’m not letting you off the hook for in any way trying to suggest that the reform party are in any way shape or form anything but a bunch of bigoted misogynists. How dare you suggest that they are simply a right-wing political party that the other parties are trying to lambast in an attempt to discredit them. They are far right extremists, stop trying to defend them.

For not being Canadian?

About you seek therapy for your personality disorder of being an unhelpful twit?

So

Like the vast majority of the population of the planet I’m not Canadian, and don’t magically know what any of the colors means.

I’m only asking for a simple explanation, that is not particularly complicated or hard to comprehend.

Would you like to supply one since apparently you know about Canadian politics? A subject matter that I am confident no one else cares about

In the north of England certainly. Not sure how much people in London care about Thatcher.

I was thinking more recently about Boris and his various illegal activities. Oh and the crashing of the economy by the disability hire. Or the fact that our most recent excuse for a Tory prime minister basically allowed the Extreme right-wing free reign because he was incapable of standing up to them.

Yeah I got that from context but I wouldn’t just dump a UK political chart on everyone and expect them to be able to understand it not least because the colors all opposite to what you would expect from a US centric point of view

Red is liberal blue is conservative

I have an old high school friend who is very much into the whole Andrew Tate thing. His parents were separated, I don’t know the details as to why, but I do know that his father was a lot more stable than his mother, and I do sometimes wonder if he had lived with his father, if he would have turned out better.

He also thinks the earth is flat because… otherwise a ball would roll off a table. QED.

So not exactly firing an all cylinders to begin with.

The colors are also meaningless as well since there was no global definition of each color means respective to political leanings. So it’s basically a meaningless picture. At least the OP graphic (while it has some pretty big problems) tells you which is left and which is right.

It’s very easy because the Tories have recently decided that the reason people don’t like them is because they’re not fascist enough, so they’ve doubled down and decided to be more fascist. At least trying to be, but it’s difficult to be fascist when you lost power due to being awful fascists.

Weirdly people didn’t want that, and so now they’re even less popular.

In the UK, where there actually is a centralist party, most of the “centralists” don’t actually vote for them. Which really tells you everything you need to know about centralism. It’s not a political ideology, it’s just a refusal to engage.

Look I don’t know how to tell you this but just because you live in a bubble doesn’t mean everybody else does.

That is not “a big shift in the UK towards reform”, don’t be daft. They only have 4 MPs only two of which ever bothered turning up, they are about as politically relevant as my underwear.

Also Reform absolutely are far right they are basically Nazis, albeit brainless lazy incompetent ones. You need to go outside and interact with normal members of the human race rather than whoever it is you’re talking to on the “I’m not racist but…” Facebook group

I am fairly sure that the comic isn’t that old. So I think usb-c is what it’s alluding to.

Because markdown has committed the worst of old programming sins. It has no standard.

However I’m pretty sure that Lemmy has a standard so there’s not really much excuse.

How am I supposed to get emotionally attached to someone when I’m having a borderline one-sided conversation. The People you meet on those apps are not interested in carrying the conversation and it’s just mentally exhausting.

They don’t provide any kind of hook that I can respond to.

Even then dating apps are terrible. You have to pay extra just to essentially get the basic service. The free stuff basically doesn’t do anything

So just block them.

Join literally any other server.

That’s the point of distributed networks they’re supposed to be distributed if 80% of the content is on two servers that’s not distributed. People should move off ml and world regardless of their politics simply because it’s not a good idea to have everything all in one place.

Surely the problem is that people are bringing politics into forums which clearly don’t require it. Like, why would the political stance of someone matter in a technology forum?

It’s basically the same argument Argentina has about the Falkland Islands. When Argentina was part of the Spanish empire the Falkland Islands were part of the empire, not that the Spanish did anything with the islands. But at no time in history has Argentina existed as an independent country and has had ownership of the islands.
