linky not that islamoleftism hasn’t been bubbling for a decade, but this is dem whisperer, not fucking zemmour or whatever his name is

  • We’re following the UK

    The same UK that has frequent fascist riots and their “Labour” party constantly placates nazis and their nationalism? It’s funny, the chuds live in an alternate reality.

    Also, how can someone be simultaneously a conservative Muslim and a leftist? Lmao. I guess it’s the same way Trump believes MTG is now a communist too.

      The nationalism issue took a funny turn recently. Turns out that flags everywhere reduces house prices, it’s viewed as a sign of antisocial behaviour.

      Everyone’s not as in favour of flags anymore lmao

        That’s actually a bit of a real issue for us. If you have a poor area, showing that there are a lot of liberal progressives, socialists, young people, cultural spaces, etc. attracts students, the hipster kind of petty bourgeois, rich libs who want to move there, so rent prices go up. If it’s a neighborhood where people look at you wrong if you speak a different language or are of a different ethnicity, odds are that the youth and immigrants want to flee. Rents stay low.

        And because most don’t believe anything can ever be done about landlords, it’s a factor that drives workers into the far-right and encourages nationalism, liberal or reactionary.
