Anyone familiar with me knows I have a low opinion of libertarianism. Like its leftwing twin, anarchism, it is a utoppian idea which falls apart quickly. The big difference between the two is that libertarianism wants to get rid of regulation and let the oligarch foxes run the chicken coop.
That said, this shows how the utopian ideal doesn't work.
The best part is that they defunded the police with the obvious consequences.
I am going to change my previous post where I said " I think she would be more of an ICE supporter."
She's not a symbol of resistance, she's a racist authoritiarian.
The Joke's over. If they think that the British police are authoritarian, then they are truly deluded with this bullshit.
Although, when George describes a television presenter as "That posh bird that gets everything wrong" in Hard Day's Night seems appropriate.
For those who have been lucky enough to have missed this trend, Amelia is a character from the educational game "Pathways: Navigating
the Internet and Extremism". The game was designed for the British government to help young people recognize and
avoid online radicalization. However, she has become a viral meme,
often associated with far-right ideologies, which has shifted the game's
original intent. Amelia parrots right-wing, often racist, talking points, connecting her celebration of stereotypical British culture with anti-migrant and Islamophobic tropes. Her England is that of an American who has never visited the place.
For example, she likes eating fish and chip in a pub, which is wrong on several levels. Traditionally, Fish and Chips came from the chip shop, or "chippie". And pubs didn't sell food back then. Well, at least not like the ones like Wetherspoons does now. Even more importantly, Pubs are quickly vanishing for economic reasons:
The UK is experiencing a significant decline in the number of pubs, with projections indicating that one pub is set to close every day in 2025 due to rising operational costs and reduced consumer spending. This trend has resulted in thousands of job losses and highlights the urgent need for government intervention to support the struggling pub industry.
Next comes her accent, which is rather posh since she is supposed to be from Yorkshire (Pathways mentions East Riding amd Bradford). Something like Jodie Whittaker's accent n the clip below would be far more appropriate. I can't imagine someone talking like Amelia and lasting long up there. Amelia belongs in Downton Abbey, not Yorkshire. And Highclere Castle, which poses as Downton Abbey, is in Hampshire, which is in the South of England.
But there are so many things wrong with the Amelia memes it's hard to get upset about, such as her in this D-Day landing craft full of Americans. Or are they Danes? Since I see a Danish flag in the background. Toss in another vid has a giant Danish flag in it!
Someone mentioned something about her and Minnesota, but I can't see Amelia shedding tears for people who are fighting people deporting furriners. She is definitely more of an ICE supporter than opponent.
I believe the memes have her fawning over Nigel Farage. So, she's a definite loser, unless she secretly hopes for England to become the 51st State: after Wales and Scotland devolve and join the EU.
Well, as another line from the scene I mentioned from Hard Day's Night goes: "The new thing is to care passionately and be right wing."
And she does like dogs: although for seriously silly reasons.
There's a reason those 1,000 "Christian Influencers" didn't visit Bethlehem. That trip was such propaganda that it's not worth thinking about.
What's worth thinking about is how they can let other Christians be persecuted.
And this comes from the Instagram page forgotten_christians:
Palestinian Christians living under Israeli occupation face daily hardships: movement restrictions, checkpoints and permit systems that limit access to work, schools, hospitals, and holy sites, alongside land confiscation and settlement expansion that squeeze livelihoods and community life.
In Christian villages like Taybeh, residents have faced repeated Israeli settler attacks and intimidation targeting homes, farmland, and church property, creating fear and insecurity with little accountability.
For some reason, Christian Zionists neglect Palestinian Christians and their persecution by the State of Israel. Unless it blows up in their faces the way it did for Mike Huckabee, but even he turns a blind eye to the persecution of Christians and the destruction of churches.
The real problem here is that the Palestinian Christians are the "wrong sort of Christians" to get support from Evangelicals who support lsrael. we need to bring back the 1975 United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379.
