Politics Fascist takeover US 2025.

He had a pipe he was smoking from.

Weed is legal all over the us. As is tobacco and sheesha…

It is legal in some states but still illegal in most and illegal at a federal level. US drug laws don't make a lot of sense but absolutely they take a dim view of it at their international borders.

And how do they know he was smoking weed?

My grandad smoked a pipe……

They don't have to 'know' anything. If he was travelling on an ETSA from a country where recreational weed use is illegal to the US and had declared that they "have never violated any law relating to using illegal drugs" while having evidence suggesting the contrary then he's going to have problems with US CBP.

Australia is historically one of the worst nations on the planet for censorship rules.
Not like we haven't prevented anyone from visiting for one trumped up reason or another over the years.

High profile people, with agendas.

This is not the same.

Aaaand there it is, the trial balloon…..

Why isn't it?

 

[faible]

Why isn't it?

Because those high-profile people with agendas are coming here to enact that agenda, which is to the detriment of the community.

We don't let neo-Nazis have a platform because we know their agenda isn't the benefit of the community, for example.

I'm not so sure about this.

We have some semblance of free press in Australia which puts us week ahead of many many countries for a start.

The people that disagree with you will be outraged when they are censored.

It's fascinating to observe how things are playing out in the US.

In terms of western democracies, which is what he/she meant, we're right up there.

You're putting words in their mouth: they said "Australia is historically one of the worst nations on the planet for censorship rules." Which is absolute garbage.

But even in terms of Western countries, how are we one of the worst?

We're not.

The same cohort of people say the same thing all the time because they can't make jokes about women and gays and Aboriginal people without being pulled up for being a flog.

'oh you're censoring my freeze peach!!!!!'

No mate, you're simply a flog.

"One of the worst nations on the planet" is a very different subset than "western democracies".

He should have stuck to the apprentice.

But there is good reason the whole world is preparing for carnage should he manage to get back in.

Personally I have more faith in the US. Sure he has a core supporter base of ignorant racists, but there is no way that's even close to 50% of the US.

Narrator: the US was indeed that ignorant.

I don't know if you've ever read much about the French Revolution, but the original revolutionaries were among the last up against the wall when all was said and done. Idealists are often the victims of their own ideals. Those high minded ideals don't protect them when those they've put into power actually decide to use it.

Bob Vylan and Kneecap vs Lucy Connolly. The winner... not the UK. Not Lucy. Not England... or whatever is left of it.
Pun intended.

And yes, it is. Musk vs Trump.. I'd like to say I'm surprised no one saw it coming, with reference to the French thing above. but... I'm not surprised at all.

Extremes beget extremes.
"They exist because you do" is something I've said for a long time.

What an opportunity for a baguette joke lost.

Like tears in rain.

Eh? Literally everyone saw it coming, amazed they managed to play nice for as long as they did.

I agree, I was surprised when it got to 100 days. IIRC it was soon after that the bromance fell apart.

Fascists read out of the same playbooks, but because they find reading tiring ….. they tend not to read the last chapter.

The original skit was rather amusing in itself, and if you'd stuck with that I might have even cracked a smile.
But you went with that instead. Wonder how Mark would feel about it.

lol the guy in the photo you posted bro.

America is lost. The only way they can maintain power from here is with military power, which essentially makes them "The Empire". Wouldn't surprise me if Trump unveiled a Death Star at some point, it's their only hope
