wrote last edited by [email protected]This is a George Carlin idea. He once proposed walling off four US states, turning them into giant prisons, and dropping all the criminals with no hope of rehabilitation in, pumping them full of all the illicit drugs seized by the CIA and other organizations, and letting them fuck and fight until they drop, and then whoever's left?
Shoot them in the fuckin' head!
Put it all on pay-per-view and you got yourself a giant money-printing event.
It was an extremely over-the-top silly idea, but I think we can draw some inspiration from it for this, in spite of its inhumanity, y'know?

Trump said something similar, he said if he lost to Biden he would move out of the country. Unfortunately that was lie like everything else.
No other stable country would tolerate him. Except Russia.

Russia aint stable

The issue I see here is, and I believe I'm speaking for the entire rest of the world here, we don't want him
I’ll take him as my neighbor in a heartbeat! Send him over here!
My kids wake up randomly at night screaming, torturing the entire neighborhoods - send the twat over here to get some banshee in the middle of the night treatment

That does sound like every neoliberal politician in Europe right now.

He wasn't even alone. Count Dankula also joined, and later left because he found the party to be unserious and cringe. He made a video about it at one point. I don't agree with Dankula about every opinion he has, but I do find him to be smarter and more level-headed than most of his peers.
Sargon of Akkad went from being a youtuber who was a bit full of himself, to getting a minor god complex once he joined UKIP and spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to impress the infamous internet troll Mister Metokur, which is a whole saga in its own right. It was fucking hilarious to follow in real time.
Meanwhile, the press did what the press does and dug up all kinds of stupid shit that sargon had been saying over the years and, well, he quickly became a liability.
I had been pretty pissed with Sargon since the Candid scandal that most people seem to have forgotten since, so I was just enjoying the show, watching this dumbass making an utter fool of himself. I think a lot of UKIP's bad press and failure as a party can be traced back to Sargon because when he joined the party, they were still somewhat seen as a respectable party that you could take seriously even if you disagreed with their politics. After sargon, they were seen as a clown show and I also think Farage left the party shortly after - unless I'm misremembering. It's been awhile.
I don't watch reality TV because I have the internet and it's lolcows. The fact that these politicians allowed sargon of akkad into their party without doing a proper background check is fucking insane
they allowed him and Dankula in their party to catch the attention and support of their followers and they paid dearly for that, lol. In ignorant theory, it seems like a good idea to try and utilize influencers to further your party's cause and reach a younger crowd - potentially - but back then, politicians did not understand internet culture nor how fucking insane it is. Overall, politicians seem a tiny bit more aware today, but they are still not getting it. That mixing brain dead entertainers with your cause could possibly backfire. Especially if your party appeals to the more reckless among us in society.Of course, there could be many more factors as to why Farage decided to leave UKIP and for the party kinda falling apart at the seams other than just Sargon, but it is incredible how fast shit hit the fan after thel let Sargon join their party. Everybody who knew about Sargon knew that this was gonna end badly and we were all there for it. Rightwingers as well as leftwingers. Joined in harmony, laughing at the circus.
Somehow still more entertaining than when Kanye West hired Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign managers.
At some point you can't do anything but laugh.
Thanks for the background!
Tbh, to me Farrage was never more than a troll. I mean, boxing through Brexit using lies and then as soon as the referendum is done, just mikedropping out of politics because he knows that this is when the hard part begins is just a pure troll move.
He's never actually accomplished anything apart from creating chaos and then disappearing.

Nigel Mirage. Appears everywhere until there's actual work to be done, then vanished completely.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah. There seem to be a lot of people like him in politics these days. They will drop their bombs on our lives and we will have to clean up their messes afterwards. I guess this is what happens when humans become too comfortable
I knew (and still know) fuck all about British politics so most of what I know about UKIP came from the lolcow corner of the internet, where we were all just eating our popcorn while watching the shitshow. All I know is that before Sargon joined UKIP it seemed to be talked about as an actual serious political party and after Sargon joined, it became a total clownshow in media.
Glad to hear that to those who are savvy in British politics, farage was seen as a clown already. Still too bad that he succeeded in screwing over the UK and then peaced out when the consequences came his way. I'm sure it'll be the same with trump, if he lives long enough until next election, lol.

He and his buddies made millions of the Brexit referendum.

There's just no consequence. If a business blatantly lies and then doesn't deliver, they can be sued for false advertising, for breaking contracts, for violating standards and all that. If a politician lies and doesn't deliver, the worst thing that can happen is that they won't get re-elected. And in many cases not even that.
So it's not surprising that there are more than enough people who are happy to lie and hurt the society for their own personal gain.

It's the populist way. Populism is the "natural hack" of democracy, same as monopolies are for capitalism. A populist promises people the moon, and then doesn't have to deliver. While doing so, they destroy trust and confidence in the actual politicians doing actual work.

We should dry rub him first. Maybe add some bay leaves.
