Their British they’re not the smartest bunch, make great motorcycles though!
The British Brexiters are not as stupid at Contemporary American Republicans, but they do come close.
as a brit, I think back on all the people I grew up with, my home town, people I knew and I truly believe in my heart of hearts that there are some dumb motherfuckers out there in ol Blighty
At least half of everyone is below average. The problem is that the bell curve is flattening and the stupid people are able to network and create their own little groups. They become unaware of their own ignorance because they keep getting positive feedback to fuel their negativity.
We all gave to be aware of this and not let it happen to us. The old saying, “keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out”.
My dad had a Royal Enfield back in the 60s. He said it had the worst electrical system he ever had to deal with.
As if they were even paying attention to anything beyond their sphere of bigotry.
Brexiters are always annoyed.
It’s not by chance that the word “Gammon” became a common way to describe them (because of the color of that kind of ham is a pretty good match for the color of the furious-face on a pale white old man or woman)
The right wing the world over is in for a lot of this. Like shitting the bed and then just rolling around in it and going “no i didn’t”
They never will admit they were wrong. It’s like climate change. We’ve been saying we need to do something since the 70s and they’ve been denying reality since.
Now we’re on to the “it’s too late to do anything” stage of conservative thinking.
- That’s not real
- It’s real but it’s not our fault
- It’s real and it’s too late so stop talking about it
Hmmm, is this just human nature at work? Is it a function of the conservative mind like it’s never their fault?
Actually… yes, it literally is. They focus on what is effective, and if the pushy behavior works for them to get what they want, they do it. And it does. So they do.
They’ll keep doing it as long as supposedly good people fail to stand up to them.
Guarantee most that pipe off so much would grumble and huff off if they were laughed at and told to fuck off. At least unless they were there to do something, like protest a children’s book reading.
I think many conservatives are “good” (to the extent that any of us are, really), kind-hearted people. The movement itself is not, but the people who believe in it tend to fall for certain types of errors, e.g. being gullible.
Though many are not that way, and liberals also tend to fall for different types of errors, ironically also being gullible if we think our leaders give a damn.
The important thing is that our overlords want to keep us at each other’s throats, as if it is two parts of the common man that are fighting against one another, when really it is the wealthy who regardless of which side wins the election, swoopes in to buy the political players and get their own interests, at the expense of the common man.:-(
