  • Indeed, he’s an idiot.

    People are afraid if he becomes prime minister. The thing is he’s a harmless idiot because he is all complain and rhetoric without offering any specific plan on how to implement what he wants. If what he wants happens, and then what? Should he come to power, it’s just going to be whatever the hell happens. His potential leadership will end up collapsing like the far right tenure in Sweden, Finland and The Netherlands. Farage never really have had any significant leadership experience, because he spent most of his career beating the drum but never leading the band.

    But from my personal perspective, his premiership, if he does become PM and even if it fails, will set precedence and open the floodgate to a cleverer authoritarian demagogue that could plunge UK to a full fascism. I think most people are short sighted about the snowball effect of current actions.








  • USA under Franklin Roosevelt was probably the only time the country was firmly at the highest peak of moral ground.

    As for the rhetorical questions, you make it sound as though US fascists were in power to effect influence and policy change. They have been loud but never been influential enough. FDR have made sure of that.

    And as for the nuclear bombs, what could have been the other option? Potential 500k-1 million American deaths on invading Japan? And let’s not even think about how many more Japanese civilians could have died since they were brainwashed to fight to the death.
