There is nothing more British than having their Island invaded, conquered, and foreign culture imposed.

The Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes, were German. The Normans were French Vikings. You know the reason William had a claim is because he was related to the very British King named Cnut.

I would advise British people concerned about immigration to look to the example of Ireland, India, Pakistan, Palestine, and South Africa who maintained a distinct national culture despite being colonized by a violent and criminal nation bent on imposing it's own culture.

This is a poor semantic argument. It actually originates with right-wing rhetoric around "homophobia".

The argument also hinges on there being only one meaning to a word. Kinda like how Trump is confused about how you can be Asian and Black.

Nobody is asking for 100% coverage, that's a strawperson argument. We just want someone in the process to have two things 1) the public interest 2) authority to do something.

Engineers and technicians are servants. Capitalists are in charge and they'd poor mercury down and infant's throat for a dollar. This idea that we should rely on good actors in the system is just another version of "trust us bro".

While we're all tip-toeing around the criticize Israel minefield, remember that the Zionists don't pay any attention to these rules. They'll couch Israeli policy in Judaism as it suits them. And they'll raise antisemitism as a bludgeon and the Shoah as a shield.

It's a big disadvantage when only one side is nervous about appearing as a racist monster while the other is breaking new ground in bigotry and monstrosity.

This is like the lover who says "wouldn't it be crazy if you and me had a threesome with your best friend"? Then claims not to be serious when the idea is rejected.

So now I understand why Musk hates Ukraine.

I got into a school altercation once and my adversary backed down, but promised to kick my ass later when no teacher could protect me. WELL, I'M STILL WAITING BRAD!

We've all heard the story about how the F-4 didn't have a gun and what a mistake that was. But this isn't the 1960s anymore, and we're not dealing with Aim-7s.

To a MAGA, these facts go into the pro column. Besides, my ideal candidate wouldn't get endorsed by the Obamas, Clintons, or Bushs either.

Beavers are awesome, they're also have the unfortunate combination of being cute and territorial. They're quite dangerous, so if you ever spot one, give it space.

The status quo is not destiny. When was the last time support for Israel was a national issue? Zionists are fighting the tide.
