Public: Politics: Protest
Regional specific protests   (+5, -7)  [vote for, against]
way y'go

Peaceful protest is a given right in western societies, but perhaps that right needs a tweak.

Perhaps it should be specific to the region being protested for.

Want to protest for your local union?...
Fine. Over there by the porta-potties will be ideal.

Want to protest for a region of the planet which has nothing to do with your region?

Well then here's the plane ticket to the [insert region here] of your choice! What a Deal!

We'll even happily print you customized banners and posters, all at tax payers expense!

Go.

You got this.

A recent speech by our great leader, https://x.com/Lozza...1822930728406962463
Remastered by AI of course, but it is all his own words, well, I've heard him say almost all of them before, maybe not in this order, and he must have said the few words I've not heard him say at same point in his life, so yes, definitely, we can say it's all his own words ;) [Skewed, Aug 13 2024]

BLM "mostly peaceful" protest via multiple murders by "mostly peacefully" burning their victims to death in "mostly peaceful" agonizing torture. https://www.dailyma...rning-precinct.html
Light the police station on fire and then block the officers inside to burn to death, dying in screaming agony, but mostly peacefully. [doctorremulac3, Aug 29 2024]

And while that cartoon says the right is trying to block tweets, the left actually wants Twitter's owner arrested for not blocking tweets. https://thehill.com...ed-and-x-cancelled/
And people are in prison right now for "right wing" posts on social media. That's now this works for the left: commit the atrocity, say it's the other side doing it. Gaslighting is their number one brain-farming technique. [doctorremulac3, Aug 29 2024]

...and we have our first protester.

Please give us your complaint sir, or madame, or pronoun of choice.

For better or worse, no such regions exist; technology has made the planet small, so that trouble half way around the world is trouble in the neighbourhood.

Where do I protest if I am protesting about, say, my own government's approval of export licences for the sale of arms to a foreign regime who is using those arms to kill people who are not from my region?
-- calum, Aug 08 2024


//There's far too many protests.... where do I protest about that?//

I'm sorry sir but unfortunately we can't cater to generalised protests you'll have to pick a protest to protest against, may I direct you to our counterprotest desk where you can pick out the specific protests you consider excess to requirements and we'll provide plane tickets so you can join their counterprotest.
-- Skewed, Aug 08 2024


It's just that it does no good to protest away from the region where the activity in question is occurring while causing harm to the region not being protested about.
Do you think anyone running the show in Israel gives two craps about university protests to free Palestine across the United States?
I highly doubt it, yet those campuses have been completely disrupted.

In Canada if we've got a problem with Ottawa, well we drive a few thousand miles and we protest in bloody Ottawa, because they don't give a shit if we do it thousands of miles away from them.

So go to Israel and chant free Palestine where it might make a difference to the cause rather than occupying our countries with this bullshit.
Or better yet, all of these young male illegal immigrants of fighting age currently terrorizing our cities could be rounded up and sent to go help them...
-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Aug 08 2024


I think [calum] has already rebutted that point. And I'm not sure you know what's happening in "our cities"; NB: social media is not the same as reality.
-- pertinax, Aug 09 2024


Social media might not be reality but it comes one hell of a lot closer to it than the mainstream news reporting.

All western countries are currently being overrun by Islamists, many of them radical leaning.
It is no less than an all out invasion which they do not deny. They will soon outnumber you and you will democratically need to start paying a Jizyah tax to your invaders or join in their insanity.

It's way too late to nip this weed in the bud as should have been done, but can you honestly not see what will happen if it is allowed to continue to grow?

Really?

Forcing people to use the phrase asylum seeker rather than illegal immigrant does absolutely nothing to detract from the fact that most are neither.
They are an invading force and A LOT of money went into getting them to our respective shores.

I for one am done funding it.
All of our countries are on the brink of civil war as our elected representatives turn those who voted for them into second class citizens in their own countries.
We are being systematically replaced by a majority who will vote in anyone allowing the floodgates to remain open.

Enough of this shit.

I'm telling you, either our governments get a grip on the situation, or folks are going to take matters into their own hands, due to the complete and utter bureaucratic incompetence of our elected sell-outs, and it's going to be a bloody fucking mess.

Regional protest looked interesting as a concept until I saw that it was a just another way to be mean.

//why not elect someone who has sex with items of domestic furniture// [FS]

Stupid enough to actually buy that hoax eh? The cultists said his book referred to this, that book is available for anybody to check, it didn't, it's a lie. It was a fantasy your side brought up, and I'm guessing since they're all lonely cat people without lovers or domestic partners, we can all guess that they came up with that story from their own personal experience. In fact, it's very detailed. Too detailed frankly.

At least he doesn't drink horse semen like your guy. (two can play that stupid game)

I'll point out that the HB has been very pleasant lately without your Trump cult obsession. Please shut the fuck up.
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 09 2024


Tell it to your cats. Nobody gives a shit about your moronic cult that'll believe anything they're fed.

At least he doesn't quaff horse jizz like your hero.

No no guys, jizyah. Focus.

But while we're on the topic, did you know that the show Fear Factor got cancelled for getting people to drink donkey semen?

Poor comparison, meat is a whole other thing to bodily juices, and it's cooked, you should have used milk perhaps, would have been a little more legitimately comparable, not really of course, milk is intended by nature for consumption, if not 'our' consumption, even by the animal that produces it, and that's not, but at least it's a fluid same as the other.
-- Skewed, Aug 10 2024


Xenophobezag, nobody’s buying your "Boo hoo! I'm gonna stop coming here if anybody counters my cultist rants." bullshit anymore. (guess you took it down) You've pulled it too many times. I even fell for it once before I knew it was an attention plea and tried to talk you into staying.

If you're gonna rant about your cult don't get butt-hurt when somebody calls you out on your shit.

So let’s just agree to let the couch sex fantasizing horse jizz guzzling sperm gurglers on your side do their thing without us having to hear about it constantly.
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 10 2024


I never understood why you always want to engage me. Must be lonely. Cats can only replace human interaction so much I guess.

1- Get lonely.

2- Rant about your Trump cult knowing I'll hit back (reaching out to me basically)

3- Act like a victim, threaten to leave.

4- Go feed the cats.

Everything is fine, it must be because Herr Kier tells us so, he also tells us we will be tracked down and punished if we disagree with his assessment in any way so you know it must be true, besides I don't want to be punished, not today, maybe during my masochistic cycle next week, his father was a toolmaker you know, I'm not sure what the relevance of that last bit is but he keeps telling people about it so it must be important somehow [shrugs] .. if you don't hear from me for a bit it may be because I've had a knock because I said something mean about him on Twitter a few years ago that I forgot about.

I think the reason that the UK is on its path is ironically, because it was a successful culture and it's the old axiom at work: "Hard times (WW1, WW2) make strong men, strong men make good times, (the post war highest standard of living ever) good times make weak men, and weak men make hard times."
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 13 2024


The way I see it the main export of the middle east and the only reason for its wealth is oil.
The developed world is trying to wean itself off of gas and oil which is a direct threat to their wealth, therefore they have decided to use that wealth to bribe our politicians and pave the way for invasion.

You have no idea how happy I am that my fellow sheep told our government to go pound salt up its ass when they demanded that we register our weapons.
We are Not putting up with this shit.

Islam is a religion of peace my ass. Kindly take your genital mutilation, pedophile prophet, shariah, jizyah, and jihad back where they came from.

If there is a God, then that being must be absolutely disgusted by the atrocities committed in its name, and I got a feeling that those 72 virgins awaiting your death all have razor blades while you're tied to a chair.

That a human being can allow a book to dictate their morality and feel no shame while engaging in obviously evil acts just blows me away.

Absolutely disgusted the big-guy must be.

I reserve the right to criticize any religion and I will not be coerced by threat of violence or imprisonment to submit against my will. If I can't criticize a religion, I'm a conquered subject and that's not gonna happen.

*For the record, my posts below were a response to xenzag’s Trump-dumps where he insults me, brazzes on about his obsession with Donald Trump then when challenged to a grownup debate runs away. He’s since erased them all.

Can't stop obsessing about me eh? That's pretty sad.

Anyway, he's your god, not mine. I think for myself, you don't. Fuck your Trump cult, he's all you guys ever think about.

Meanwhile, as you obsess about him, your country has fallen. You were handed a free country and you gave it away because you were too weak to defend it.

Offer still stands though, since you can't go a week without craving my attention, ever want to follow through with an insult to me that you post and have an actual debate, let me know.

Here's the rules: name a specific issue, controversy or policy and clearly, with great specificity, state your position on that issue, controversy or policy.

Wanna debate? Let's debate.
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 26 2024


Aaaaand he runs away to hide with his cats.

I'm going to the gym, a hike and then swimming my laps. I'm guessing he'll sit around on his lazy ass obsessing about the only thing in his life that gives him meaning besides being a can opener for his cats until he dies alone and they eat him and his final resting place is a litter box. The center of his sad, sad universe:

Donald Trump.
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 26 2024


//your country has fallen.// Actually, I take that back, I think England has enough strong men to survive this threat to its freedoms and stand up to tyranny and uphold not only freedom of, but freedom FROM religion and the rights of individual self determination.

Just because some there are weak, doesn't mean they all are.
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 26 2024


*This is my response to him calling me a monkey sticking a banana up my butt and admitting he just taunts me for the joy of it.

Pussy. Figured you'd chicken out. Too busy shoving things up your ass I guess. Whatever replaces your need for human interaction I suppose.

Anyway, offer still stands. Wanna debate like a grownup, I'm always ready.

But I won't hold my breath. (Unless for some reason you had the balls to stand next to me and say it to my face. I assume you smell like the litter box that'll be your final resting place.)

And by the way, I know you're a stupid, weak, brainwashed little cultist, but haven't you figured out that I absolutely love when you insult me or my beautiful country and I get to flatten your pathetic ass in response? I love it. I absolutely love it. I prefer friendly interaction but standing up to bad people is a close second.

And you seem to love getting served so hey, works for both of us. So take as many massive Trump-dumps on the HB as you want. You're an easy (and fun) mark to respond to.
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 26 2024


No, you come to insult, pick fights and then run away like a little bitch. You don’t have the cognitive ability to have an adult debate about actual issues so you take a huge, smelly Trump-dump and run.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, all bullies are pussies, that’s why they become bullies.

Like the link where a BLM protester is the peaceful one and the "right winger" is violent towards him, it, whatever that is.

The left's main tool these days is gaslighting. The more obvious the lie the more powerful it is. It's how cults work.

See link of those "mostly peaceful" BLM protestors setting fire to a "mostly non-burning" police station and trying to blockade the officers inside so they could die "mostly peacefully" screaming in (mostly peaceful) agony as they burned to death blockaded inside by their "mostly peaceful" murderers.

That was the goal. Death through "mostly peaceful" agonizing torture.

And the idea that it's the right that wants to block freedom of speech and eliminate the first amendment just shows how blatant the outright 180 degree flips of reality are perpetrated by the left.

"Lads" is gender neutral at least in certain contexts in [calum]'s part of the world.

-- doctorremulac3, Aug 30 2024


"Hey guys!" as used for "excuse me can I have everyone's attention" is generally gender neutral I suppose, everyone knows you mean everyone not just the males .. you might even use it when everyone is female.
-- Skewed, Aug 30 2024


Yes, a room full of guys and gals IS addressed as "Hey guys!"

I don't know why, it just is.
-- doctorremulac3, Aug 30 2024


"Guys" implied pals in general, while "Gals" only implies female only friends. I'm thinking that if a Tom-boy girl wanted to hang out with male friends then... they didn't have a more inclusive word than that.

Nobody had woke yet...
