It can still be unanimous among the rest of the nations to be deemed legitimate.
Freedom of association encompasses both an individual’s right to join or leave groups voluntarily, the right of the group to take collective action to pursue the interests of its members, and the right of an association to accept or decline membership based on certain criteria. It can be described as the right of a person coming together with other individuals to collectively express, promote, pursue and/or defend common interests.[1]
Freedom of association is both an individual right and a collective right, guaranteed by all modern and democratic legal systems, including the United States Bill of Rights, article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights, section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and international law, including articles 20 and 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and article 22 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work by the International Labour Organization also ensures these rights.

Hungary is undermining the EU at every turn, if the rest of the membership wish to boot them out I think it would be quite easy for them to write up a compelling case for how and why.


Calocane, who was a student at University of Nottingham at the time, later had a mental health assessment where he described hearing voices. The assessment concluded Calocane was dealing with a first episode of psychosis, which was attributed to sleep deprivation and exam-related stress.
Langdale said a doctor involved in the assessment had been “leaning towards” sectioning Calocane due to it being his “first presentation of psychosis” and a lack of information about his risk history. However, a team of mental health professionals considered research evidence that examined the over-representation of young black men in detention.
It’s shit like this that gives the racists ammo.
I’m not a medical expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I may be talking out my arse here, but it sounds like unless it’s explicitly pertinent to the assessment the team shouldn’t be made aware of the ethnicity of the person they’re assessing. So they can neither positively or negatively discriminate.

This exists and I see no rules against politics or news there. Might be better to contribute to an existing comm than make a new one from scratch that is incredibly niche, and as you say would open up the idea of mouthpieces for propagandists


Thank fuck. I think of this song every time proposals like this come up:
They made a desert where trees once stood
Squeezing from the land every penny that they could
Ethnic cleaning of the glens for farming sheep
'Cos that way there’s more profit for the rich scum to reap (rape)
“Beautiful bleak moorland?”- I don’t think so
This is a place where great forests used to grow
Laid waste by a rich man’s greed
Reclaim the land and plant the seed


BBC are about as genuinely sorry as BP were after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill
Yeah, of course, on the internet nobody can tell you’re a dog. But I’m pretty sure I can tell you’re a donkey.
If you really want to see my union card though, here you go:

This meme is calling out faux machismo men that loudly proclaim a weird need to eat meat all the time. There’s nothing about it that even mentions veganism.
I’m not a vegan and I support this meme. Meat is a foodstuff, not a personality.
Maybe you’re more insecure than you realise, Sailor, and are projecting.


No need to do their fearmongering for them.
Fascists are never as powerful as they project. Their whole ideology consists of scaring people into line because they don’t have the means to do it any other way. Don’t let the bastards win.
Our strength is in numbers, we outnumber them immensely, not fracturing into individualists in some hope that it will result in self preservation. It’s a stupid tactic that backfires for both the antifascist movement as a whole and individuals.


In the same vein as what SeeMarkFly said. If we’re all on a watch list then none of us are.
They only have so many resources to go around.
Authoritarianism thrives on fear and people keeping quiet. Be as vocal as possible and encourage friends and family to do so as well, before it’s too late. The more of us there are, the less repercussions they can bring down upon us.
In solidarity.


Moral panic over information that aids local doctors and government strategy.
I’m pretty certain I was asked similar in my day as well, although it was a while ago so hard to remember.


Fit? We dinna spik gibberish! It’s thon Sassenachs that makkit the book wi’ spellings that mak yi feel like yir heid is mince!
What? We don’t speak gibberish! It’s those English that made the book (ie dictionary) with spellings that make you feel your head is mince(d beef).

The full length video (4:20 one) appears to be broken on their website. Anyone got a copy?
The rest load fine (30 and 15s ones).

I don’t know the answer to your question but B&Q have quite a few DIY guides/videos on their website, looking there might help.


Norway (GDP: $480,000 - 550,000; PPP: $510,000 - 620,000) beats US (GDP: $28,750,000 - 31,820,000; PPP: $25,680,000 - 31,820,000)
Norway (GDP per capita: $86,700 - 96,600; PPP per capita: $91,100 - 109,500) beats US (GDP per capita: $84,800 - 92,800; PPP per capita: $75,500 - 92,900)
18 gold and 41 total versus 12 gold and 33 total.
Norway (1 gold for $5,100 per capita) beats US (1 gold for $7,400 per capita).
Is that better? Or does that make silly confusing headlines for the average person?
Unfortunately Nazis and genocide are a reality of life today, well done you if you can insulate yourself in a bubble to ignore it but that won’t last long if they’re allowed to proliferate.
They use propaganda to push the narrative that the US is the best at everything, since about as long as anyone alive can remember. I think we can excuse The Guardian doing the same in the opposite direction to push the narrative that they’re not the best, and that in fact a social democratic country is better.


I have books in languages I don’t or barely understand, some in topics I know fuck all about. Does that disbar me from being the nationality that I am?
Is this an American comment that I’m too European to understand?
Like… wtf, people can’t own books in other languages now?
Who’s to say he doesn’t know Polish? Who’s to say it’s even his and not a family member’s?
This is such an arbitrary and meaningless detail to pick up on in an attempt to disprove the legitimacy of a photograph of a guy who looks very likely to be Gottfrid, that it reeks of anti intellectualism.


During the Italian fascist period, it was used as the political headquarters of Benito Mussolini, and was adorned with a giant sculpture of the dictator’s face surrounded by the word “SI” (Italian for "YES”).

Also present is the mysterious leader Big Brother, who has an intense cult of personality. The Party brutally purges anyone who does not fully conform to their regime, using the Thought Police and constant surveillance through telescreens (two-way televisions), cameras and hidden microphones. Those who fall out of favour with the Party become “unpersons”, disappearing per damnatio memoriae with all evidence of their existence destroyed.

You might enjoy this movie. It touches on the idea of communities no longer existing in society now and how there’s always somebody available to fill social roles.
