I know. My criticisms are aimed at Lemmy killmister.

Calling the SS “the rock stars of their time” is at best a really stupid thing to say. And at worst, welp.

I meant Lemmy from Motorhead.

“the SS uniform is fucking brilliant! They were the rock stars of that time. What you’re gonna do? They just look good.”"

Considering the amount of Nazi memoribilia that guy owned idk how long he would last in lemmy

Economy go down the hole

given how bad you think it is

I didn’t say the UK was a bad country. Please stop making things up.

What miraculous country are you from that is so free from racism?

I didn’t say my country was free from racism. Please stop making things up.

“your racist country is so bad. Don’t talk”

I didn’t say that. Please stop making things up.

Who hurt you?

Nobody. Please stop making things up.

Norway isn’t part of the EU, does that mean they are racist?

Norway wasn’t a founding member that voted to leave primarily to avoid taking in immigrants

You have to be able to handle nuanced debates though.

Easily the smuggest thing I’ve read in weeks

You’ve completely changed the topic from slurs and what isn’t acceptable to a whole piece on racism

I laughed at someone using the UK as their example of race relations done right. I laughed because it’s funny, because the UK is one of the most racist countries in the world. Slurs are not the only form of racism.

If you just want to go down the “UK all bad!”

Where are you getting this shit from? It wasn’t from my post, that’s for sure.

to make yourself feel better to protect your country and feed that nationalist indignation

Wasn’t doing that. This was all about you picking one of the worst possible countries as your example of the alternative.

Even if we ignore all the dark shit the UK did to other races in the past in the name of imperialism, we’re still talking about a country that voted to divorce itself from a mutually beneficial economic alliance because it didn’t want to be forced to let brown people move there. They may not talk about it like the Americans do but the UK is still plenty racist.

Interesting. I didn’t know Canada had their own racial slurs, I figured they imported them from the US and UK.

TF is a dogan?

UK ain’t woke, just has some acceptance that people from different backgrounds have some value

Lmao. Of all the countries to say this about.
