Why? One of the candidates is standing on the platform of bringing back the monarchy. It’s fitting to use British iconography.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there’s doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
Am I reading correctly? Are you saying you cook pancakes in your rice cooker?
How do you do that?
They’ve done a lot of exploration, though. I worked on some of the kit that went there. It came back pretty beat up, so it’s rough out there, but there’s plenty of oil.
New oil extractions were halted in the North Sea for a while, not extracting it doesn’t mean much. It just means it’s not been deemed profitable enough yet.
A red day, ere the sun rises!
I want to get mad at your apathy, but really, it just makes me sad.
Of course it won’t be the end. In the same way climate disaster isn’t the end of the world, but it is the end of the world as we know it.
A fascist takeover of many of the most powerful countries in the world wouldn’t mean the end for all, but it does mean the end for whoever is deemed “other”. In the case of 1930s/40s Germany, that was political opponents, Jews, disabled, and LGBT people.
Today and in the future, who knows what arbitrary definition of a person will be chosen to make people “other”. It could be anything from traditional hate categories like race or sexuality to something new like length of hair.
I don’t know what kind of person you are but you clearly feel confident that you won’t be one of the ones on the receiving end of violence and the fact you think that’s okay because it’s not happening to you is so… depressing. If you don’t have a moral compass for the sake of others, at least try and have one for the sake of yourself because as fascism rears its head, whatever demographic you fall into may be next at the receiving end of the violence.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
Your comment reminded me of the fun fact that there’s more water in Loch Ness alone than all of England and Wales’ lakes and rivers combined!
Add in all the other Scottish rivers and lakes, and you can see why Westminster is loathe to let Scotland have independence.
Some places just have a fuckton of water, and the Australian outback is not where Mad Max will take place irl in the future, but in these places.
