AFAIK this was never a "dogwhistle" of racist sectors, it was literally created by 4chan as a way to troll snowflakes on campuses.

I have a hard time taking a country with "TV licenses" and "TV license inspectors" seriously. 
 
 
 

I thought it was just part and parcel of living in a modern city?
 
Fucking hack.

So you'd say that casual, brutal violence is commonplace in your society, and likely a direct result of your country's people being disarmed. But it mostly only affects the lower classes, so nobody cares. Got it.
 
 
Sooooo... The soccer fans and their buddies can just get rekt, right?

Two pool balls in a sock isn't a "game", dude, it's assault with a deadly weapon.
 
 
Can't have handguns, can't have any long guns that would give your government pause,  and now your country is pushing this "knife free" BS. Don't act like you've got an armed populace just because you can buy a ratty old Lee-Enfield at 4x the proper rate, if you jump through enough hoops.
 
 
At least I can go to a bar with the certainty that I won't see somebody get beaten to death.
 

But if you typed that in earnest, this entire exchange got even better. 
 
In a majority of the world, a space shared by more than one culture is in contention. 
 
The US has hundreds of mingling cultures. If we were anywhere else, it would be a constant civil war. 
 
But please, do continue to defend. Your take on the UK culture is fascinating. 
 
 

So #NeverTrump Kevin "All Working Class Americans Should Just DIE Already" Williamson was fired by The Atlantic for holding the belief that all women who get an abortion should be hanged and for refusing to recant said belief after being given numerous attempts to do so by the magazine's editorial board.

This warms the cold, cold cockles of my heart considering what a miserable human being Williamson is, and how he actually worked to get Hillary Clinton elected in order to punish us Deplorables for not supporting his guy in the GOP primary.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone else been trawling through her videos?
 
It's some of the most ridiculous of 80s public access tv I've seen.
 
There's a guy on a certain other forum who has been archiving her videos nonstop. She made a montage music video for her rabbit that died. Complete with scenes of her flexing. 
 
There is soo much....

...You want everyone to be disarmed so that you can get beaten with fists by drunken soccer fans?

From my perspective - and the perspective of many other Americans - effective weapons like knives and especially guns are protection against "tossers", and de-escalate situations where bad men do bad things. The only way they wouldn't be is if good people aren't willing to take their defense into their own hands. I can certainly understand how, in societies where good people are expected to stand by while men in hats handle things, guns and knives would be frowned upon. After all, good people don't do own them, so if you do then you're a bad person and no good person on Earth wants to arm bad people. And since only the men in hats and those with their explicit approval are allowed to do anything, any consensus has to be codified into law, or else how is it enforced? QED, they outlaw weapons, and grunt in satisfaction afterwards. But fists are fine, of course. 
 
But I don't think that way, and I don't want to live anywhere where everyone else thinks that way, either. That sounds like a bad country for good men and a good country for bad men. No, I want to live in the country where people can kill others. And I do live there. It's great.
 
 
Losing faith in your government after having surrendered all your authority in weapons must put you in a bit of a tight spot.
 
 
My innocent British friends must be patient with me, because frankly, I deeply enjoy the turning of the tables here. I've been told my country is awful and wrong and horrific and how ashamed I should be by folks with funny teeth and funny accents my whole life. Payback.

So this is a real thing in the UK.

Edit:
 
There are many misconceptions about carrying a knife. Make sure you know the truth. 

TRUE OR FALSE
_Q
 
If you’re caught with a knife and you haven’t used it, you’ll only get a caution.
 
False
_A
 
Carrying a knife can mean up to four years in prison, even if you don't use it.
 
Edit 2:
 
No one has to go knife free alone.
Whether you carry a knife, are thinking about carrying, or are worried about someone you know getting involved with knives – there is help and support available. It can be a tough thing to do, but these resources can help anyone join the millions of young people who live knife free.
 
Edit 3:
 
When you carry a knife, you are risking everything. Prison, being a victim of crime and even ending up in hospital are all real risks. Beyond this, knife crime has devastating personal effects on you, your friends, and your family.
While some young people pick up a knife to feel safer, they don’t realise that carrying makes them more likely to get into serious danger. A knife can escalate things way out of your control, and make a bad situation much worse.
It might not always seem like it, but putting down the knife will make you safer and help you to reach your full potential. Don’t let prison or serious injury stop you achieving your goals.

The irony of this entire event is breathtaking.
 
Also, the response from the gun channel owners from being demonetized and kicked off of Youtube: "This sucks, but we'll make it work. We can get through this and find a way."
 
The response from a lefty getting demonetized: "Fuck them I'm gonna shoot you all."
 
Next time someone tries to get condescending about the gun control debate, treat gun owners like "petulant children" and just want "to have a civil, open, honest discourse", remember that they are projecting like a damned IMAX.

Hot take: Trump is morally bankrupt and a terrible human being who's probably done some shady/illegal shit (yeah, they haven't convicted him of anything, but they didn't charge Clinton either).
 
This is not mutually exclusive with politicians in general and the media also being shit. Donald Trump is a shitty person pissing off legions of shitty people. This isn't ideal, but it could be worse.

First they came for the dank memers, and I did not speak out for I was not a dank memer

If I were this guy, I'd make a bee-line to the American Embassy and seek political asylum as a refugee 
 
Also, we were talking about nations that are laughing stocks ? Great Britain is a laughing stock.

Count Dankula convicted of "offensive speech", faces jail time.

It's about this time I remember some of my UK friends telling me we in the US totally don't need a right to arms to protect our right to free speech.

No, it's not
 
Now as to the question you're really asking judging by the next page and a half of thread, former four star Generals are people who you definitely shouldn't blindly respect either.
 
I mean, is what is going on right now incredibly disturbing because we see as many "high level people" talking the way they're talking right now?
 
Fuck yes!
 
The rule of law, the status quo, and the social contract have all catastrophically failed and the fucking rats are trying to position themselves as best as they can for whatever comes next based on the information they have available to them and the former allies they believe that they can still trust at least marginally.
 
Now, the rest of the world laughing at us though.... Who the fuck cares? They're more inept corrupt unable to function and hypocritical than we ever thought of being! (That's definitely a bad thing mind you, the world is circling the toilet bowl I'll give you that)
 
But seriously here, the brush you're painting Trump with really has far more to do with the stereotypical American total lack of awareness about foreign politics, political figures, and scandals being used as a sadly effective weapon against a sitting president by persons with their own agendas!
 
I mean for the love of fuck Walter... Really?
 
British politics= sodomy with a side of snobbery
 
French politics= blowjobs between bouts of nepotism
 
Don't even make me bring up India or fucking Germany here! Holy fuck!
 
When you have a combination of unreasonable expectations and a lack of general awareness about politics other places, yeah trump might look like an unmitigated disaster and profound embarrassment to the nation.
 
But honestly, I'd hoped more people could figure out that if Trump was ACTUALLY that much of an anomaly in those circles he never would have gotten in! (Silly me I also hoped said people would then start asking pointed questions about just what the fuck is going on in the beltway and board rooms of our media companies, so I guess we've all been making stupid ass assumptions about the intellectual capacity and curiosity of the American public... C'est la guerre and all that shit)

Lyndon B Johnson put his dick on people. Welcome to the world where you shouldn't have respect for people who seek political power.

Put him in cuffs and make him do the perp walk.
 

I just can't tell. It's uncanny.

I'm 98% certain this is a fake account at a glance but Maxine Waters is a literal drooling retard so idk.
