The good news, if you can call it good news, is that Trump and co are so evil, and incompetent, that it’s waking people up to the awful system they live under.
Harris and The Democrats would’ve been able to continue with business as usual and nothing would change. At least now there’s some hope of a left surge in the wake of all this right wing hatred, pain, and suffering
Lol I wish. A fascist party got the third most votes at the last election.
Ungovernable mess is a hell of a way to say resistant to foreign authoritarian central control.
Ew, I just upvoted Reagan. Wtf.
Wow, thank you for the detailed response!
That final article isn’t quite relevant though and doesn’t exactly instill confidence when it took 2 years and 108,000 searches (180 per day) before anything was done…
I’m glad to hear there’s supposed to be some form of accountability, and checks and balances but we’ve seen throughout history that those sorts of checks are always open to abuse or intentionally ignored when it’s convenient for the powers that be. You may have a benevolent police force just now but that doesn’t guarantee anything in the future.
Mandatory government ID on your person at all times is still dystopian.
At all times? Even when pished at 3am stumbling home? That sounds rather dystopian and I say that living in the country with the most CCTV in the world.
Exactly, so complain to your MP, MSP, local councillors, and the Health Secretary to get it added to the NHS.
even if there was a small charge
Fuck. No. The whole point of the NHS is free at the point of service. We have already paid for it via taxation, fuck double dipping and incentivising privatisation of healthcare.
You need only look at America for the logical conclusion of that. Or look at England to see what half private half public gets you.
Healthcare is not a service only for the well off. Everyone requires it.
Well shit. Thanks for correcting me!
“Nearly half of Scots don’t give a fuck about their fellow man.”
“STV words title in such a way as to push an agenda”
“Nearly half of Scots forget what it means to be a liberal culture that values education for all”
“Nearly half of Scots become money obsessed like American capitalists”
“‘I got mine, fuck the younger generation’ says nearly half of Scots”
Get fucked yi Red Tory

The head of the security service isn’t just a meathead bit of heavy muscle there to jump in front of a bullet.
Martial law also isn’t some obscure policy, it’s an internationally understood term that replaces the democratic civilian parliament with military rule.
This is definitely something someone in his position should be very aware of and should be willing to do something about.
Less safe? What features do you need that, say, a 2015 model can’t have?
An ICE that is still on the go is more environmentally friendly than manufacturing an EV from new… A new EV versus a new ICE, yeah fair enough. But replacing a perfectly functional ICE vehicle with a new EV for environmental reasons is just marketing, consumerism, and trend following.
To stop bullshit spying of every part of a vehicle, to stop bullshit waste of perfectly functional vehicles, buy used.
Obviously, fuck cars, use public transport if you can, but that’s unfeasible for most, so buy used!
Especially if you can get your hands on something like a 1.0l with a giant turbo strapped to the side. They’re pretty common in Europe, I don’t know about America.
Then don’t buy anything.
If you want to stop shit behaviour you need to provide consequences.
Buy a used car instead, there’s plenty of them.
When the new car market falls apart these manufacturers will change their ways.
But because people are unwilling to part with even the tiniest bit of convenience, prestige, whatever the fuck it is, I wish I knew, then the bad behaviour is encouraged and then you’re left in a situation where the market sees there’s no consequences for adding this shit to their products and they all do it.
Then everybody suffers.
