The UK is currently in the process of prosecuting a man for teaching a dog to do the Hitler salute. If these laws are so overreaching that they target what is essentially a prank, and involve the person in question in a multi-year legal battle over it, I'd say there's a problem. Guilty verdict toda... |

Nothing cited in the original post comes close, in offensiveness, to terms like "cuck", "liberal", "snowflake", or "FemiNazi". I disagree. The implication that you or I are complicit in a culture that supports (condones even, according to some) rape is an aff... |

Missing the point of the question, and its intended target. |

Why do most users on this site think an Autistic political party is a bad idea? Who are you addressing this question to? The title of the thread asks "why do you not like an Autistic political party?", and I'm inferring that you're addressing everyone on this forum as if we're a collectiv... |

Lamentable, but true...... Don't sell yourself short, man!
Why grammar is important.
If we move the comma one word to the left, it takes on a disturbing new meaning.
"Don't sell yourself, short man!" |

Not sure how that undermines my charge of hypocrisy. Because standing up to totalitarianism isn't totalitarian. They're not "standing up to totalitarianism", they're trying to enact their own, and doing so in direct opposition to will of the Polish electorate. If nothing else, you would t... |

Poland is a totalitarian regime, or the EU would not react as they currently do. "Do as we demand, Poland, or we'll sanction you and remove your right to take part in votes". But it's the Poles who are being totalitarian? :roll: :roll: "Hey er we're just going to criminalise historia... |

So are you going to drive all the Muslims out of the UK with conflict? It seems the most likely outcome. Firstly, this is your observation/speculation rather than something you are advocating...

Right wing politics is gaining popularity in part due to the open border policy allowing mass refugee immigration... Wasn't this the main reason for Brexit? The main reason for 'Brexit' was Farage's tireless campaigning for two decades, culminating in a rise in popularity that scared the Tories int... |
