right wing?

[awesome_dude → hactually]

Absolutely - Right Wing core theorem is that people work as individuals - competition brings out the best, only the fittest/fastest/strongest will survive.

Must be some heinous crimes to enable dragnet surveillance. That or the rotten state of Britain really is trying anything from splitting at the seams.

Must be the heinous crime thing tho.

Or maybe it's just that whenever Tommy ten names has one of his rallies it ends in violence?

[spwa4 → 4ndrewl]

Ever walked through the streets of London after essentially any rally? They all end in violence.

[KaiserPro → spwa4]

> They all end in violence.

Odd way to say you've never been to london.

[asib → spwa4]

Are you serious? This is so ignorant it's unbelievable. There are gazillions of marches that have ended without incident.

The sad thing is that GP is not even being paid to spread this tripe. I just can't understand their motivation to post such patently false info based on what...Tiktok research from Russia?

At least Farage/Yaxley and their hangers-on are clearly on the make.

I mean property destruction, and then it's just true.

[philipallstar → hactually]

Its definitely not heinous crimes. It's just recording people at events to know who's of what political persuasion.

uhm. Europe is ID gating their entire internet - they're not bothered about foreign powers, just control.

[2ndorderthought → hactually]

Chat control also failed. There's a lot of hope still.

The thing goes both ways. They have to secure their people from Russian and American propaganda that will be coming by the petabyte once a few more us data centers go online. The US is trying to elect fascists in Europe.

At the same time it's a terrible practice for privacy and human rights. Especially in the wrong hands.

It's pretty obvious once you look at the art - it has a very specific political leaning, which also happens to have been the predominant one in the UK since Blair.

[throwaway27448 → neonstatic]

Blind?

closet-fascist?

Europe has gone so far left-wing, that not-left-enough are called fascist :)

On: Framework's new Linux laptop is selling faster than its Windows one

[hactually]

Incredible news. I've ordered one myself... wish the 16 Pro was out but I figure it makes sense to support companies doing the things you want.

The last thread on framework was disappointing in how many said "oh, if it just had X I'd totally buy it" who probably all use Mac's with it's basic configuration.
