UK is a full democracy? That's a fucking joke, literally all of this applies here. Including no-fault (read: spoke out against landlord or asked for repairs) evictions.

Finland is also a fucking joke.

Reminds me of the time that Madventures bros were in India, talking to a local policeman, and said "Finland is said to be the least corrupt nation in the world" and the Indian policeman laughed so heartily into his moustache I almost fell off my chair.

You can do all of the shit mentioned in the post without getting the consequences.

"Finland is said to be the least corrupt nation in the world" and the Indian policeman laughed so heartily into his moustache

Which country did the policeman think was less corrupt if we rank so low in his opinion?

Youre genuinely asking me what some person I saw on TV thinks? How would I know? Even Professor X would have trouble reading someone's mind through TV.

The point is the blind faith in that there's no corruption, which is kept up by corruption.

I too used to think you we have just the most wonderful country. Then I grew up. You wouldn't believe half the shit I can tell you about corruption in Finland, but here's something at least you'll find challenging to refute, as there's supreme court documents on it.

That article is about me. I have the original video to prove it. And that's basically the mildest offence they did that day, and it only saw consequences because I actually had the video. The video and photos the cops had of everything magically vanished when I wanted them to be brought to court.

I'm pointing how silly it was of him to laugh about it.

It's least corrupted country. It's a comparative to other countries, always has been. If someone misunderstands that to mean that there's no corruption then that's on them.

Technically, it isn't clear if the crown could take back the rights given by them to parlaiment to govern the UK, but currently all decisions are handled by parlaiment including budget allotted to royals who are actually a net possitive from tourism.

For any Tankies in here, Tourism is a thing where people come from far away to share their resources in order to experience food and culture. China unfortunately is such an oppressive and bleak place that nobody wants to go there unless they have to or if they're doing so accidentally by not realizing what happened to Hong Kong.

My guess would be the crown can totally take those powers back, but then the monarchy would be quickly overthrown as their only accepted role these days is to look pretty, draw in tourism, and entertain foreign dignitaries.

That's counterfactual and undermines your argument, the amount of tourists from Japan, the US and EU alone is immense and I fear most of them know, but don't give a shit about Hong Kong (though they really, really should).

Are these tankies in the room with us right now? Fuck the CCP, but we're talking about the west right now, stop trying to divert attention.

Who is backed by the undemocratic FPTP system, extremely pro-establishment press owned by capitalists waging open class war and a literal house of "lords" who have direct and legal legislative influence, not even lobbying. Imagine if Elon musk could reject legislation. Yeah, democratic af.

It's a ruse you fell for, nothing more.

who are actually a net possitive from tourism.

Myth. Many countries do not have geriatrics riding around on golden thrones amidst record food bank use while having far more tourism than the UK, and I mean western European nations, not typical global south tourist destinations.
