The OP seems to think that putting your arm at that angle turns you into a nazi. I think he's been watching Father Ted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLNMSTQnSyk

I think it was conservatism of its time. You can ret-con it with 2026 morality and say it was wrong, but then it was the Conservative austerity government that legalised gay marriage.

So even if you don't support nazis, just putting your arm at that angle magically turns you in to one? Is this like a spell from Harry Potter or something? Can anyone accidentally do a nazi salute?

Good point. We need to genetically modify horses that can pollinate plants and create honey.

No, I'm saying they're not far right. It's a pejorative term made up by the left to try and shift the overton window away from conservatism.

They're about as "far right" as the 80's Thatcher government.

"Far Right" in the sense of "The Guardian says so". And one bloke getting arrested doesn't prove the whole party is Russia-funded, despite that being the catch-all left wing excuse every time they lose an election.

People in El Salvador generally seem pretty happy with a 98% reduction in the murder rate. For Argentina, it's too early to tell. We'll have to wait until the shock therapy has finished.

The comparison between the gestures is that neither are intended to be a literal Nazi salute and anyone who genuinely thinks either of them was has an IQ issue.

And obviously he's supporting right wing causes, because they are the ones he agrees with. Reid Hoffman only supports left wing causes.

Dude, no they're not.

Tommy Robinson is a grifter, but Reform has a pretty good chance of winning the next UK general election

People are realising the current omni-party centrist/centre-left politics and economics have failed utterly.

>> We have far fewer free speech rights in Europe than they do in the US.

I'm in the UK. Mean tweets lead straight to jail now.

They must be incredibly proud of you for inventing nazis in your imagination and then fighting them.

Stunning and brave.

I'd imagine eating it has a different effect than having it directly enter the bloodstream as well.

>>Honeybees are not native to North America.

Neither are horses.

I guess the issue is you don't get honey with the native bees.

Journalist argues journalists are important.

But honestly, the answer is no. Traditional Media is biassed opinion wrapped up as fact.

Not sure how well swatting works in the UK, and pizza deliveries are all pre-paid.

But yeah, you could have a loony turn up.

You need to put a literal physical address and not even a PO Box is allowed.

I just launched an app in the Google Play Store. I did find it a bit weird that I had to provide my physical home address to get my app listed. Not sure what I would do if someone turned up to complain. Make them a cup of tea?
