Britain is Lost

Exactly, don't give Reddit, fuckbook, instasham, titstok or X-twitter your time/data. They just harvest it and use powerful algorithms to hook you in and brainwash you. Once you're addicted, and have reduced capacity to think for yourself, you're in their hands. It's a method of controlling the masses.

Who says that X tracks anyone? Also, if they do, how does that differ from any other social media platform ... including this one? You can't communicate much on the Internet without someone tracking you - X is hardly an outlier.
 
The memes highlight exactly why the government and politics is fucked (not just the UK, USA suffers from it too; both sides just generate a bunch of images with captions to suit their agenda. It's like a less smelly version of animals in a zoo throwing turds at each other, what the fuck is it going to actually achieve?

Meanwhile, in the real world, the issue is not so much of current on-goings, but of how badly it was handled by those in charge. I don't think anyone is questioning the awful things that happened (and, I don't doubt, are still happening). It would be funny if it wasn't so serious, the conservatives were in power for the last 14 years and as soon as the opposition get in power, they start crying about things that should have been done....

I much prefer to use my eyes and ears to observe what is going on around me, rather than sit and digest content a corporation is hosting and serving up to me... Perhaps politics could be actually debated sensibly, and solutions could actually be reached, if this was more popular.

Memes? This thread is full of actual real world videos, articles, interviews and pictures. Yes a few Memes as well. But you apparently overlooked the other

Honestly you're making my case why Britain is indeed Lost.
 
Proving what though? that Britain is somehow "Lost"? You never owned it, so how could you have lost it?

You do realise that there's a disconnect between what the weird algo is feeding you (and Musk, by the tweets I've seen he's made) and reality. Nobody is saying there's not a bunch of pedos with a penchant for young (white) girls, not that they wouldn't do disgusting things to girls (and boys) and any colour. Use your brain and do your own analysis of the sources of information.

Not everyone that's a shade of brown is a criminal nor are none of the pedos white. The internet wants you to think there's some kind of reason to get irrationally riled up about other groups of people, it's a divide and conquer tactic, the British empire used it pretty successfully.

Musk sticking his fucking oar in isn't holding anyone to account, or doing anything useful to actually move the justice process on. It's just usual childish Musk attention seeking.

Starmer is boring as fuck as a Prime Minister but that's not always a bad thing for people in office- he will be judged by his actions. I'm not a voter of his political party, but the conservatives had multiple chances and fucked it multiple times, so we will see what this new lot do, it's how a democracy works....

Guys, as an actual Brit living in the UK, (greater London)... Don't believe everything you see on teevee... (Or social media).

As much as I like what he's done for engineering, I don't think Musk should get involved in politics, especially those of other countries... for example, his support for that Tommy Robinson character is far misplaced, the vast majority of the UK public despise this chaps actions, trying to link Reform and Tommy Robinson, will only damage support for Reform.

Farage is popular because he gives the impression he's "one of the people", however, if you look into his background, you'll see this is all just a scam and he's actually from a wealthy background and he's playing the act to advance his own adjenda.

Yes there are some stupid things going on at the moment that I don't agree with- zombie knife legislation for example... but please don't tar all of us with the mis-information the social media influencers or russian bots are posting!

Elon Musk -

Honestly, US Politics is horrific and needs outsiders to help push it into a better state.

As is, other Billionaires already in the game, they just are not as vocal about it.
( certainly this game is very much the same in the UK, EU, Canada .. )

Musk is just being transparent publicly vs others pulling the strings of their puppets in the dark

"Farage is popular because he gives the impression he's "one of the people", however, if you look into his background, you'll see this is all just a scam and he's actually from a wealthy background and he's playing the act to advance his own agdenda."

I believe this is true of all of those in power .. Putin, Assad, Xi, to the UK US EU public figures ..

Can't seem to quote specific replies on this forum(?).

Nobody is being jailed for memes, stop peddling garbage designed for the gullible. Where the fuck did critical thinking skills go, I swear it's done deliberately to stop the population thinking for themselves.

On the topic of this thread being proof: There are some videos of arrests, I don't have an X account as I object to being tracked and having my data harvested by the big corps to use to pedle their version of media to me. An arrest is not immediate prison time (often not for a long time because the justice system is fucked because it takes so long, but that's a different problem); some of these hooligans jailed recently were setting fire to hotels etc- last I checked arson/criminal damage was a "legitimate" reason for jailing someone.

Kid in the GB news video isn't a reliable source, I don't trust that video any more than I'd trust a video saying that 5G gives you COVID.. I'd have loved him to post a video from the class showing the truth.

Musk isn't bringing attention, we already know about it, he's spouting a lot of crap that is muddying the waters, I thought foreign interference in politics was generally frowned upon, how come it's fine when Musk does it? Why doesn't he go home and fix his home country?

Not sure what the problem with that guy being elected to mayor is, he's got a degree apparently, it's not a particularly powerful role, they can get rid of him if he turns out to be useless at the job!

Arrested for a Meme - Harry Miller

Harry Miller is a former police officer and CEO of the Bad Law Project and Fair Cop, organisations that aim to depoliticise democratic institutions, and support those facing discrimination for their political beliefs. Miller appeared on TRIGGERnometry in January 2020 after he was investigated by police over a poem that he'd posted on Twitter. The police officer told Miller, "I need to check your thinking."

 
Guys, as an actual Brit living in the UK, (greater London)... Don't believe everything you see on teevee... (Or social media).
I have relatives in greater London and Germany and can relate to what you say. Pretty much everything about USA politics they are fed is a load of crap. They believe that Obama is/was a god and savior, everything about Biden is wonderful, and everything about Trump is horrible. When having to choose between what we tell them and the crap, they choose the crap. There's a bait-click headline going around the USA today "Trump refuses to rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal". A reporter asked a gotcha question if he'd rule out using the military, with the reply:
“I’m not going to commit to that, it might be that you’ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.”..."We need Greenland for national security purposes."

He gives an honest answer to something that likely hasn't been seriously discussed which gets turned into click bait by lefty-driven AP and reprinted all over the place. By tomorrow most of Europe will probably be thinking an attack is imminent.

I'm not commenting on anything specific in this thread because I don't have any inside information. I can use Ukraine as a representative example, however. There are big media and social media reports all over the place with their own agenda. One can cherry pick as desired to create totally opposite "truths". My response is to mostly ignore all of them as agenda driven propaganda,

I had to Google that specific instance, as I'm not familiar, seems he only got a phone call, not "jailed" as the X algo likes to suggest? I didn't watch the YT vid so correct me if I'm wrong.

Most sane people I interact with in the UK would be of the opinion that a call or physical visit from the police for this would be overkill, a phone call if you're being a weirdo about it might be justified, but otherwise unnecessary.

If he's ex-police, someone might have it in for him so reported everything he did until they had to do at least something (phone call)?

If I wanted to be cynical, I could see how he would milk the story to advance his organisations...

In my corner of London, at least, from what I've seen/heard myself, I feel like the era of the woke policing has already peaked and is slowly going back to normal. It had started a while back, COVID fanned the flames and it's started to die back down with some common sense now reappearing. It's never been as crazy as the tiktok/X/etc algorithms make out- yes there is some bat-shit crazy policing that's gone on, but various outlets have amplified it to suit their agenda. Biggest issue with the police right now is the lack of them/resources to actually solve any crimes due to various reasons including budget cuts.

If you wanted to "hate on Britain", popular opinion seems to be on the long waiting times for medical access/treatment (not always, it's more nuanced than "NHS sucks), the shoplifting epidemic thats the problem-du-jour, and the private water companies dumping sewage in rivers claiming they need to raise bills. Lastly, phone snatching on ebikes could be a valid concern for city centres, but even this is blown up a bit by the algorithms because it gets responses, whereas the need for long term investment in critical infrastructure, isn't so appealing for likes/emoji....

But it’s ok for Soros Obama, and Gates?

Your “algos” aren’t feeding me shit. I scan literally dozens of news sources each day. Print, TV, social media, I choose what to believe after I see enough evidence across a multitude of platforms. Apparently you only get news from the BBC. Not sure youve noticed but MSM TV news is all but dead here because they promoted propaganda when the had a monopoly and now that they don’t, people are tuning them out.

Musk is far from the only one calling it out. There are literally thousands of reports across various media channels doing so, in fact he was late to the party. I agree with some of what he says and disagree with some other. He’s not even in my top 10 trusted sources.

1- many of the sources I cites are BRITISH news. You obviously only see what you want to see
2- most if the X posts are from BRITISH and European news sources, but again you only see what you want to see

That’s my point. You’re oblivious because you choose to be.

But hey, Just keep doing what you’re doing. Im sure it’ll all just work out just fine.

Just discussing, not trying to pick a fight here. Is what we see on USA news or X posts from USA news sources correct? Or do we have to dig deep for the truth which is often opposite what these USA sources say?

One of the big Europe based media companies is Axel Springer SE. Besides a huge European presence it also has a big USA presence with Business Insider and Politico, both widely parroted by major USA "news" outlets. IMO (in my OPINION, don't want to get sued for slander) pretty much everything it says political is false. Thinking of that, plus NYT, Wash Post, LA Times, AP, Reuters etc, etc, you pretty much can't believe a thing from USA news. Even the conservative outlets that started out clean are succumbing to click bait over truth. Is BRITISH news a better source to cite than USA news? Or am I off base in my assessment of USA news?

Again, I'm not judging any specific claim in this thread, but I think a huge amount of skepticism is in order if you don't have reliable alternate sources.

No I agree. US news is mostly garbage. They dont really report on it much at all except for Faux a little bit. And I still challenge anyone to fault the actual content of Zerohedge

Thats why i mostly choose BRITISH newspapers, TV and social media reporters for this topic.

I've found a couple of British outlets most reliable, they have a lot of left wing propaganda outlets as well.

FYI for anyone thinking this started with Elon Musk, notice I created the thread back in July. Musk first brought it up in December

And for those who have no clue what a “meme” or an “algo” is and still communicate via smoke signals, there are 253 posts in this thread. 16 are Memes.

90% are content from British and European sources, including citizens with video, independent reporters, newspapers, and TV news.

Brits should watch this. (of course its easier to ignore it)
  • “Understand how much the World owes The UK”
  • “To watch you guys spiral yourselves into the ground in favour of Political correctness & the woke green mob”
  • “Do you understand what it’s like for us here in Canada & America - to watch what you guys are doing to yourselves”
Everyone in Britain needs to watch this clip of Jordan Peterson discussing the plight of Britain with Piers Morgan
