The right wing the world over is in for a lot of this. Like shitting the bed and then just rolling around in it and going "no i didn't"
They never will admit they were wrong. It's like climate change. We've been saying we need to do something since the 70s and they've been denying reality since.
Now we're on to the "it's too late to do anything" stage of conservative thinking.
- That's not real
- It's real but it's not our fault
- It's real and it's too late so stop talking about it
Brexiters are always annoyed.
It's not by chance that the word "Gammon" became a common way to describe them (because of the color of that kind of ham is a pretty good match for the color of the furious-face on a pale white old man or woman)
Let's face it we're a bunch of apes, a few are intelligent and functioning, and it's a miracle anything works at all.
At least that makes me feel better because it just makes me happy when anything works at all.
Okay but we need to do better or literally everyone dies to climate change, right? So...
The sad thing is that we won't just die to climate change, but everything becomes way more hellish than it already is, to the point where we'd wish we had just died...
Yeah it won't be the gentle 20th century 'sirens and then two hours later everyone suddenly stops existing' apocalypse. It will be brutal and horrible and show us the worst we can be. Everybody with die-by thousands, by dozens, one by one.
But, like, can't stop line go up, so...
Let's see what happens
Yes. Let's wait and see until theres no options left!
FYI I'm quite active in that arena personally. I just meant in a big picture way like let's see if humans get through this filter.
We need to free ourselves from some of the classes who will absolutely not be making it through any filters, if we want to do that, and I don't think shitty Jeff is going to settle for 'aging beach himbo who can run the fuck out of a spreadsheet and power game your tabletop group to ruin'
Exactly. No point in worrying if there's nothing we can do about it anyway!
And this doesn't count as suicide, becausebim pretending its not happening! Its perfect!
Their British they're not the smartest bunch, make great motorcycles though!
*They're
We have a normal mix.
Brexit was one of the first times that the idiots moved in both force and sync however. It didn't help that most of our media has been captured by right leaning rich gits. We are still reeling from the fall of the independent BBC.
My dad had a Royal Enfield back in the 60s. He said it had the worst electrical system he ever had to deal with.
Fun fact: Royal Enfield is now an Indian company. They even have their cult of fanboys here. They consider these bikes are to be a symbol of manliness.
I don't think any motorcycle had a decent electrical system back then.
In a country that has as much rain as England, your motorcycles should probably be capable of not shorting out when it rains.
The British Brexiters are not as stupid at Contemporary American Republicans, but they do come close.
I think of them atleast as stupid but not more.
as a brit, I think back on all the people I grew up with, my home town, people I knew and I truly believe in my heart of hearts that there are some dumb motherfuckers out there in ol Blighty
At least half of everyone is below average. The problem is that the bell curve is flattening and the stupid people are able to network and create their own little groups. They become unaware of their own ignorance because they keep getting positive feedback to fuel their negativity.
We all gave to be aware of this and not let it happen to us. The old saying, “keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out”.
At least half of everyone is below ~~average~~ the median.
Thankyou, you are correct.
Average is an ambiguous term; mean, modal or median is much more precise. Unfortunately, those who are at or below the median are ignorant of the distinction.
It is however, a term that a Brexiter can understand.
Eh. They just have farther to go.
Is that what you want? cause that’s what’ll happen
Hmmm, is this just human nature at work? Is it a function of the conservative mind like it’s never their fault?
Actually... yes, it literally is. They focus on what is effective, and if the pushy behavior works for them to get what they want, they do it. And it does. So they do.
