Martin Lewis is still probably the best resource for finding ways to spend less money.

Maybe we should be

I haven’t strawman’d them, they literally say China, Russia, Iran and DPRK are great and the West is bad continually. There’s no nuance to their position. At no point have I seen any post or comment from the OP that says “you know what, there’s some good and bad on both sides and maybe we should strive to find the balance in our perspectives” (though I will admit, I haven’t specifically gone through their post and comment history to seek it out).

It’s also not an ad hominem if I believe the person either doesn’t understand what they’re saying/doing or they’re intentionally saying/doing things because they’re themselves propagandised or being paid to say/do it.

Does that mean everyone should just believe every piece of “China is the greatest thing ever and nothing bad has or ever will happen here” as gospel truth?

Those sources boil down to DPRK state media and “some random person online who happens to agree with my POV”

Always funny how the most vehemently anti-propaganda people are the ones most hungry for their own form of propaganda.

You should move to North Korea, Kim would love to have you.

You can fight western narratives without eating up every pro-putin, pro-iran and pro-NK story blindly. You’re just as brainwashed as those you’re supposedly trying to awaken.

Don’t engage with this person, they’re either a teenage pro-putin edge lord or some sort of professional troll.

Gross over simplification and also false.

Edit, for those interested, there hadn’t been violent mass resistance in India since the uprisings in 1857. While terrorism and assassinations continued, the Imperial intelligence services (which were one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world) effectively neutered and public opinion in Britain wasn’t affected at all.

The Indian National Army which grew in WW2 with Japanese support certainly worried the Imperial governors but it had been obliterated during the botched invasion of India in 1944 and was never able to fully recover, despite strong support in some regions.

The now hugely powerful and well armed British Indian Army was another source of concern but there was no appetite among the officers for revolution and the ordinary soldiers had mixed loyalties.

Most of the violence within India at the time was actually between the Hindu majority and Muslim minority and not directed against British occupation in any large degree.

It was the non-violent passive opposition of Gandhi and the Quit India Movement, and crucially, the British violent crackdown of it, that shifted public opinion within Britain. Once Churchill was ousted, there was neither the public support, or the political desire for further defense of British rule in India and forced them to the negotiating table.

To say violence was what caused the British to pull out is factually incorrect and that the non violent resistance totalled “jack shit” is ignorant beyond belief.

British India didn’t care about human rights

While technically true, there were plenty of affiliated fascist organisations around the world who openly paraded their nazi sympathies in public. Oswald Mosely and his British Union of Fascists spring to mind.

Speak for yourself!

If you’ve railroaded your campaign that much you’re a bad GM. It’s not your story, it’s your players story.

The idea is called Hypernormalisation. Everyone knows what they’re being told is a lie, most don’t care, some do but a powerless to do anything about it, the rest are actively perpetuating the lie.

Excellent documentary about it by Adam Curtis which is watchable here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7T07WfIhM

I live in a rural area and speak to lots of farmers. Chatting to one of my neighbours in the pub about it and they’re righteously angry about it.

Drill down into their assets though and they have: modest sheep flock and attendant land, equipment etc, large family home, profitable machining and engineering business, separate from the farm, 4 other properties that they let their children live in rent free or rent out to other tenants.

I do think that the government is using a hammer to tighten a screw, but my sympathy ends for farmers when they’re hoarding assets to that degree and that isn’t even particularly large when I compare it to some of the families I work for. One I can name employs around 200 people in a major dairy operation with dozens of old family farms consolidated into the ownership of 3 siblings.

Land and farm assets like animals, equipment etc should be exempt so that they’re not just bought up by corporations. The rest should be subject to the same level of taxation as the rest of the country has to pay.

Except for that brief period where you turned up 2 years late to the party and proceeded to take all of the credit. Yes.

Hitler was also whacked out of his mind on methamphetamine most of the time, just like this jackass

What a degen

No pig ever chocked someone to death in the street for the crime of being born poor and black.
