The bold Farage was among a gaggle of people giving testimony to the US Congress this week, the subject being the decline of free speech in the UK and Europe.

Now there is obviously a bit of irony here, given the Democrats and their deep state are cut from similar cloth, while the boorish bully Trump is no stranger to pursuit of revenge against foes and pretty darned draconian against lawbreakers. Its further ironic given its ivy league madrassahs gave our fabian schemers their latest cudgel with which to beat the plebs, the yids, and others.

Nevertheless, its fair to say that both american arse cheeks remain more wedded to free speech than those fabians, their own deep state, and European technocrats out of the same mould.

There seems to be some considerable shock in America at how far down the road to authoritarianism Britain has travelled, and I wonder what the consequences might be.

Is it time for international sanctions against us, or can the whole edifice- which is manifestly starting to crack- be brought down without such measures?

No doubt to be replaced by an opposing form of authoritarianism, such being the nature of spirals. Pity then, that these progressive fuckwits got that cycle going. Thanks again Tony Blair, destroyer of worlds.

I think thats very unfair. Individual contributors may reflect the regime's intolerance, but the mods have always ensured the forum is maximally free.
Overall I'd agree but it strikes me that it would be a very difficult environment to be openly pro Reform for example....
 
When you immediately label someone something because you disagree with it is this an attempt to force down folk expressing opinions? You'd not have to say much on here to be labelled a racist for example?
Ah I see what you mean. Name calling isn't shutting down opinion though. As @egb_hibs has said it's very tolerant here.

I think that's Scotland in general. In the same way it's been very awkward to have been openly tory for the last 50 years. I don't think that's marked a shift in admin policy, but I do feel a sadness for the rise of the right in Scotland reflected on here.

aye, never been known for its tolerance.

So do I. Whether is the right wingery of global capitalism and disdain for plebs, or the 'right wingery' of kristalnacht, its all over the place. Never used to be.

Hell i used to get pelters for much less full throated preferences for capitalism over communism - often from the same folk now wedded to principles of the capitalist ultra right such as open borders.

That's just lefties being lefties dude. It has never, ever been different. You used to be quite fond of swinging the ban hammer yourself, in your impetuous youth
;))

Of course the big problem in society is lefties hold almost all the levers of institutional power and so that intrinsic authoritarianism now pervades society and is reflected by members of society on here.

Alas it has become so toxic it is likely- as I have been speculating for 20 years - that when the corrective comes, it will come as an opposing form of authoritarianism.

Examples please
 
Examples please
If you will forgive me for chipping in, there are plenty:

- declared support for ultra capitalist principles of open borders, and regurgitation of the demonisation used quell worker dissent

- posting of classic anti semitic conspiracy theory (no I'm not referring to 'criticism of israel')

- disdain for those ravaged by the upward funneling of wealth and upending of communites, including circulation of guffawing bourgeois 'satirists' doing likewise

- widespread support for bankster parties, namely the US Democrats


Tbh the place is right wing af - though to BK's point im not sure all of those partaking are aware of it
 
Exactly. Is it not time to leave outdated terms like left and right wing behind.
Spot on. I now and again ask people to define wtf they mean: lots of laughing smileys in return, answers ... not so much. Or sometimes the claim that answers are not required because everyone knows....albeit it seems noone can say.

Completely outmoded and have been for a long long time.
 
Dunno about decline in freedoms. Some folk around these parts seem to do what the hell they like and sod everyone else. E-scooters on the roads and pavement, hideous big cars illegally parked everywhere, graffiti on walls etc.
No police ever seen around.
 
There were a couple of dafties on a motorbike racing around Moredun last night around half two shouting and bawling.

Hopefully they do the same tonight quickly followed by an almighty crash as they hit something immovable.
 
Has the Bounce mirrored that decline in freedom of speech?

From a personal perspective, I'd say yes, to a certain extent. I've used many a derogatory term to slag off our rivals, as have many other bouncers. I've read, Huns, perverts, pedo's and a shit ton of other derogatory terms to slag off our rivals, but the word "fen*an" landed me a 30 day expulsion from the Bounce.

For context. My dad was a Catholic, I was baptized, but not religious in the slightest. All a bunch of horse shit if you ask me. I hate both OF equally and those Hearts bastards even more. I do find for some strange reason the Tic are more protected on here than the other two.
 
Here Findlay that's two chortles in a row I've had.

Kick on gadgie.

Like you say, you've not been around for a while, so that probably explains your misreading of my view of Trump. I think he is an obnoxious man but I think some of the stuff he is doing is urgently needed, and his team see the world more clearly than most of their critics. Other stuff is barmy and yet other stuff is very unpleasant. No Trump derangement syndrome here, but neither am I a fan. My main complaint, aside from him as a person, is he is too often guilty of the same as the deeply unpleasant and sinister establishment he presents himself as opposing.

I'm not sure where football comes in.

I'll have a look at you article, but wow - if you think Xi, Putin and Modi are our saviours...

Our elites are rotten to the core and have fucked us by giving the lot to Xi and Modi dude.

Sorry for misreading you , but yes most of the bad things said about Trump have been discredited as they were from the cabal controlled media , and yes also Putin ,Xi, Modi and many more are working together with Trump , the reason you dont know about it is its had to be done covertly so it was easier to take down the paedophile satanists and deep state , most of which is covered in the stories i sent you in Gazetteller , have you heard of the Q movement or the Q research boards? more and more is becoming overt so more people can waken up to the evil thats has been running this world for centuries

Totally unfair. Only ever intervene when necessary imho. Administration doing a very good job. Gave up on.net due to you seemingly have to go with the perceived wisdom.

You seriousabout Trumps misdemeanours. The man is a convicted felon who is using various bodies for his political ends. All this deep state nonsense bores the shit off me. Get real. Big business has always controlled the USA and gb forever. Govts change but the control the big companies have on govts is more vice like than ever. Trump gave billions to the rich which is all you need to see where his paymasters are. The Democrats are also in the pocket of the big companies so there would only be window dressing change if/when they get power. I long gave up on the illusion of democracy. Just enjoy life the best you can as things will only get more micro managed and profit the ultimate god.

I laughed so much just reading your first 10 words that proves to me you are watching and believing what the pedo's in the suits on bought and paid for(by the very cabal trying to take Trump down ) media tells you just like any good brainwashed sheep that has no cells for thinking for yourself , NOT ONE repeat not one of the attempts to charge him have come to fruition because its all made up by the cabal that’s shitting itself as he is taking them down , for crimes against humanity like child trafficking , satanic ritual abuse , drug trafficking , etc , but as you have no cognitive thoughts for yourself i really dont give a shit for you brainwashed thoughts
try doing some real research for yourself instead of believing the very people trying to remove Trump , here try educating yourself (VIDEO) WORLDWIDE MILITARY RAIDS EXPLODE! 71 NATIONS HIT, 2,900+ EXECUTIONS CONFIRMED, GITMO OVERFLOWING, TRIBUNALS RUNNING NONSTOP, ROTHSCHILD BUNKERS SEIZED, HUMAN-HYBRID LABS EXPOSED, AND STARLINK LOCKED ON EVERY ESCAPE ATTEMPT! - Gazetteller
 
waken up brainwashed sheep , no he does not , you are the problem not the solution , you are just upset because there is more than one person with a working knowledge far beyond your capacity
Tell the congregation what you, as an enlightened individual, is actively doing to right these perceived wrongs and disasters perpetrated by those you treat with disdain?
 
Whoops,looks like we have a couple of misguided folks on here. Be thankful you can spout your nonsense on here as we at least are willing to let your utter your delusions. Carry on with your wee fantasy worlds but I prefer to live in the real one however shitty it is. So far down the rabbit hole and beyond saving. Sad beyond words.

The Q movement is barmy and demonic.

As a non theologian but a practising catholic I'll tell you what I mean by calling Q demonic - which afaik applies both in religious and secular meanings of the word. I wont call it satanic cos it's not that clever.

I think Q seeks to spread division and hatred based on lies, to appeal to primal urges like fear and loathing and to stroke them. More than that it discredits the kernels of truth it distorts and thus disguises. And it does it deliberately. I may get things wrong here, but im trying to serve the truth. Q serves lies.

In a word; it corrupts. Which is poor form if you really mean this stuff: to be a wrong un is one thing, to spoil someone else and make them a wrong un....well thats a whole new level. And puts Q on a par with some of our educational establishment.

Now I have explained myself, what do you mean by 'satanists'? We have on good authority- and again it translates to a secular understanding as far as i can see - that man's evil comes from man's 'heart' (Matthew 15:19 i probably don't have ro remind you). That seems to explain quite a lot to me without requiring the devil to show his hand, in a manner i think he'd find a little gauche.

The human heart is the battleground dude. Every human heart, not just jewish ones.
 
Looks like Ryan has two accounts on here :loopy:
Nope.

Most Bouncers live in some weird kind of echo chamber.....and can't actually see the reality of the world,and the direction it's going.

Some people have been awake a long bloody time....and have been screaming from the rooftops about it for years.

But don't worry as one day soon....Your can explain to your Grandchildren how you gave away ALL their freedoms without any kind of resistance.

You were more interested in putting fingers in your ears,and giving petty name calling.

Absolutely fuck all apart from watching David Icke videos then telling everyone how asleep they are. Not just here either I'll bet, plenty other vehicles for their moon howling out there.
 
This was taken from another forum and it resonated with me anyways.

"This isn't a speech. It's a confession, a eulogy for the self I used to be.

Look at us, so many faces, all looking for the same thing. We came here lost, and we found a map. Not the kind with roads and cities, but a map of our own minds, drawn by someone else. They showed us the dragons we were all fighting, and then they handed us a shield.

It feels good, doesn't it? To finally have a name for the gnawing emptiness, the fear that something is fundamentally wrong. To know that you're not the only one. We traded our loneliness for a shared enemy, and suddenly, the world became simple.

We're all holding on to our perfect, polished truths, so tightly that our knuckles are white. And we can feel it, can't we? That little voice in the back of our heads, the one that whispers, "This doesn't add up." We shut it out with louder truths, with bigger promises, with the sheer weight of a crowd that agrees with us. Because the alternative, the thought that we're wrong, that we've given ourselves over to something false... that's a loneliness more terrifying than anything we've ever known.

So we stand here, together, in our beautiful, simple reality. And we tell ourselves that the cracks in the foundation are just part of the design. We tell ourselves that the truth is what we feel, not what we see. And the silence we hear... that's the sound of the rest of the world, falling away."
