Living under an authoritarian government now in the UK I’d like to think I’d be just as anti-government then as I am now.
We used to have free speech and an open internet in the UK. Now I need a VPN to access Lemmy.zip because Labour has turned Britain into an Orwellian Nightmare.

Lemmy is more important to those of us that live in countries without free speech. Like the UK. It’s still unreal that I can type that and it’s completely true. Although it’s more unreal that thanks to government censorship I need a VPN to access this site at all.
It is the left that starts the abuse.
If I were to say “there are two genders (male and female) and you can not change what you were born as” the red mist descends and because my views don’t align I get called a phobe or ist or a bigot. They simply can’t accept that not everyone shares their ideology.
As for the right starting the abuse just look at the Reform member conference in Cornwall last week.
It wasn’t the right wearing masks to hide their faces and physically trying to stop people entering while threatening and verbally abusing them.
With two-tier Kiers thought police WATCHING from the sidelines.
My ONLY problem with the left is they preach tolerance but are ALWAYS the ones to start the abuse, insults, name calling and threats when they are disagreed with.
On a place light Reddit most subs will just ban you for showing any right leaning opinions. Or any opinion that goes against their narrative. That’s not what tolerance is.
Seriously though, who still uses Reddit? It’s nothing but a left wing echo chamber, just like BlueSky.
Anyone (especially in the UK) that cares about data privacy and security should abandon cloud storage in favor of local encrypted storage.
This may come as a shock but the UK is not in the USA and Trump has nothing to do with this. Our corrupt government is fucking things up in their own way.
Like I’ve said. The first one was definitely a WAVE. But as that doesn’t suit the anti-right narrative then I’ll let you keep believing you’re right.
Goodbye.
No I didn’t. Not being American why would I. Just seen the video online.
Video I’ve seen has been paused just at the right (or wrong) time to suit the narrative. He was waving at the inauguration. I don’t know about another time.
But to my knowledge he hasn’t invaded Poland or started gassing Jews so I think the Nazi label is a tad unfair.
I’m not going to get into how the Federation are clearly space Nazi’s right now. However I’m not sure how my username should effect my feelings about freedoms we no longer enjoy in the UK. Freedoms that according to the UK government only pedophiles and far-right extremists care about. Don’t forget that as our freedoms are being removed I now need to use a VPN to access Lemmy.zip because we have rampant censorship and no free speech.
Yes I know why. There are far-right people. (Possibly Musk and Trump) but then there are right wing people. People that simply want free speech, a free and open internet, privacy, border controls and not have illegal immigrants going to the head of the line for public services. Non of which we have anymore in the UK. But everyone not left wing gets lumped together and branded a far-right extremist.
The leftists are completely tolerant of others. Until you disagree with them.
I’ve seen the video of him WAVING but I haven’t seen him do it a second time.
Everyone that isn’t a Leftist gets slapped with the far-right label these days though. Especially by the British government where ANY anti-immigration sentiment or even patriotism is branded dangerous far-right.
Hell even waving our own flag in Britain will get you labelled as far-right.
The term gets thrown around while most people don’t really understand it. That is what is dangerous.
Since when does being right-wing make you a Nazi?
Nazi’s are far-right to the extreme, Musk and Trump are Right-Wing. Nothing more. Disagreeing with them doesn’t make them Nazi’s and calling them Nazi’s actually says more about that persons intolerance than they think it does.
Just because it LOOKS like you deleted it can you know for a 100% certainty that it isn’t still running and hidden in the background?
It has been for years. But since Two-Tier Kier has arrived on the scene he appears to using 1984 as a how-to manual.
However it’s not ALL bad. It has made a lot of people that until now didn’t care about data privacy start doing what they can to keep their data out of government reach.
Until the Apple ADP fiasco I was all-in on iCloud. Now I don’t use any of it. I use local encrypted storage with dummy partitions and passwords so I can give those if i’m ever forced and they still get fuck all.
Well duh. The trailer for The Empire Strikes Back didn’t give away who Lukes father was either.
