    I’m in Spain, and can confirm, It’s pandemonium and anarchy here. For example, one of my neighbors has spent more than an hour making drilling noises, and someone hasn’t picked up their dog’s shit. We are a few hours away from total collapse!

      Also the very government drives through the street with a huge truck at 3am. Extends a robot arm to pick up the glass bin and empties it loudly. It’s a warzone out here.

    Conservative news everywhere. Society has had some form of crime since civilization existed. Never gonna get rid of it. But conservatives clutch their pearls at it and exclaim the end of the world is nigh. Meanwhile conservatives want to suffocate everyone slowly under a pillow of religion while looting their victims pockets of power and money.

      Looks like that flew over someone’s head.

      (Sky news and a right wing politician infamously tried to claim that African gangs were rampaging through victoria and people were afraid to go out at night. This was, shockingly, a lie.)

        that was sarcasm, you moon faced pie. Fucks sake, we’re literally talking about sky news being full of shit, someone refers to something else sky news posted that was also full of shit and you somehow think this was a non sarcastic comment complaining about africans

        Dude. I’m fucking autistic and asking what the hell is wrong with you.

          Oh gee you sure got me good with your sarcasm that was 100% the sort of shit I’ve heard people utter in this city.

          And you weren’t talking about SkyNews being shit, your only comment was about African Gangs. If you’d been talking shit about Sky alongside the African gangs remark, maybe your comment would have read better as sarcasm.

    I live in California.

    Do you know how many fearful conservatives have told me the place I live in has collapsed into a wasteland of violent criminal chaos? I can only go outside to check and make sure they’re wrong so many times before I just have to assume they’re fucking idiots.

    Reminder that Australia produced the shitstain gutter scum that we call Rupert Murdoch.

      Australia also runs concentration camps for refugees on remote islands with practically no legal oversight. The Aborigines were considered part of the local “fauna” until the 1960s.

      Australia gets way to less flak for how deeply deeply racist that country is.

        I feel obligated to provide some context here.

        Australia certainly is, like most countries, “deeply racist” but exactly what that means and how we compare to other countries is contentious.

        Calling immigration detention facilities “concentration camps” is disingenuous and has connotations that dont apply. At last count in 2021 there were 107 residents, all of whom could leave at any time, and were provided multiple resettlement options outside of Australia.

        There are criticisms to be made but they are not “concentration camps”.

        The fauna thing is an obvious myth that doesn’t withstand a moments critical though. There’s a more comprehensive rebuttal here:

        https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-20/fact-check-flora-and-fauna-1967-referendum/9550650

        Australia does have deeply embedded tensions around race. They’re not easily solvable problems. Are more salient example might be the recent rejection of the voice referendum, but that would take more than a few moments to read and understand.

        up until the 1930s Australia had ships that would kidnap indigenous people to enslave them for plantations in a practice called blackbirding

      Everywhere in Cali must look like the beginning of Predator 2. Frankly it’s amazing that any infants survive to gang member age.

    Nobody worth talking to takes Sky News seriously.

    Several members of parliament do, but I digress.

    This reminds me of an interaction I had here the other day. There was an article about ICE kidnappings in San Francisco and someone asked why the armed gangs weren’t doing battle with ICE. There are no roving armed gangs in San Francisco, despite what shitty right wing media fantasies claim.

      I guess the question is more in the line of “wasn’t the 2nd amendment exactly for this precise situation?”

        No, they would have said that if they meant that. I cannot overemphasize just how many Americans truly, actually believe that there are just bands of colored men with rifles walking around in the city streets.

      There used to be roving gangs of nude joggers, but they went and changed the law in 2012 and ruined everyone’s fun.

    So… not sure if that’s where the picture comes from, but what seems to be happening in Europe right now is roaming gangs of nazis causing violence.

    I’m impressed by the dilligence seeding the lie, just in case the news pierces the veil.
