MAGA is nuts. It's their natural state.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

That's a weird way to spell "stupid".

[–] nostrauxendar@lemmy.world 61 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Shouldn't MAGA be focused on like, America? I don't even think most Brits give a fuck what this big eared cunt said.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

Usually when these stories say "so and so goes nuts" they just mean a handful of idiots on Xwitter making angry posts and a few thousand of the morons who follow them liking and sharing their stupidity.

I’d rather they focus on the UK to be totally honest. Nothing against the UK, I’ve just had enough of them and we need a break.

[–] nostrauxendar@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Haha no no, I'm sorry, you can't palm them off to the UK. The UK has their own breed of racist, fascist, inbred little fuckers to deal with. Give them to France instead.

I actually think it's more insidious than that, maga is trying to destabilize Europe with it's cult, now.

Basically the American right believe the United Kingdom is an authoritarian hellscape and circlejerk over it, ignoring all evidence to the contrary.

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

A surveillance hellscape maybe.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

I don't know what you're Flocking abou—ahem— talking about.

[–] etherphon@lemmy.world 35 points 14 hours ago

MAGA goes nuts if their mailman is the wrong color, who cares about these reactionary idiots anymore, I hate how much time we're being forced to spend kowtowing to a bunch of morons.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 48 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

The English right-wing nutjobs are correct when they point out that the King of England doesn't even know what diversity is - or even what it means to do a decent day's work.

So however correct on point any of his messages may be, the messenger really isn't in any position to deliver the message.

The monarchy needs to go just as much as the far-right nutjobs.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 27 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

How would it serve any of us, except the right wing nut jobs, for him not to spread this message though? I can't imagine why it's a good thing for him not to say this. It literally only helps the goals of the right wing nut jobs for him not to spread this message. It's a message we agree with, it's objectively true, it's objectively better for society, and it's something that needs to be reinforced and said over and over as much as possible. There's no reason to silence it except if you agree with the right with nut jobs. Literally none.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 10 points 13 hours ago

Down with kings and queens and emperors. But right now he is there, he does have that ability to get the message out, and millions of people agree with him about this issue.

They always say professional athletes should STFU about politics, right? But that's nonsense too. Send the good message. Haters will hate, but most of them were a lost cause anyway. It's everyone else that you're talking to, and they are listening, and they do care.

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Still, though, it must be nice that your royalty are not the right nut jobs. I agree that they have to go, but as royalty goes, they’re pretty chill. You could do worse then king Charles.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You could do worse then king Charles.

That's like saying driving a Model 3 isn't so bad: you could be driving a Cybertruck. The premise is that you're stuck with a lemon.

I suggest that you could do much, much better than being stuck with any king.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Tell ya what, you take our Tangerine Shit-gibbon (who certainly fancies himself a king) and we'll take ol' Charlie-boy.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The British Empire ruled over very pretty diverse people alright. It’s still the same ruling families in power, that ran imperial colonialism.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 4 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah but they didn't celebrate diversity, they subjugated and exploited it.

The ~~Battenberg-Saxe-Coburg~~ Mountbatten-Windsor family doesn't like to admit it, but most of its wealth is built on the exploitation of the Empire's colonies.

So when the head of that particular crime family makes a speech to promote diversity, you'll excuse me if I feel a wave of nausea.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago

That clan has managed to be on top for a very long time by playing the power game pretty well.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

Maga can go rot in a gutter for all i care. racist braindead shitheads.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 8 points 14 hours ago

Weird. I just chose that in Stellaris too. Xenophile ethics attraction +25%. It literally is a great strength too, being able to inhabit all habitable planets, faster, saving terraforming resources for the barrens.

And I’ll still loose to AI who stay at least 10k points ahead til the end. And why did I buy that voidworms expansion this winter sale? How has that been helpful?

What were we talking about?

(MAGA is a bag of dicks, we can’t change them any more than you can change the nature of your abusive, alcoholic spouse. The solutions there are the same as well: kick them out, lock them up, or run away.)

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Easily provoked cult is provoked, news at 11

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Yeah way easier to keep the people divided so they don't unite against the ruling class. Definitely his strength.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago

Oh yeah... That royal bloodline is super diverse...

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 10 hours ago

so there are maga in the uk. do they really like the us and want to make it great again or do they realize how maga does the opposite and wants to bury the us???

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz -1 points 9 hours ago

Goes Nuts Now that is some professional, serious news headline writing there. Fucking pathetic.
