"Anarchy!" screams the caption of a photo of a group of police apprehending a couple of people.
I'm in Spain, and can confirm, It's pandemonium and anarchy here. For example, one of my neighbors has spent more than an hour making drilling noises, and someone hasn't picked up their dog's shit. We are a few hours away from total collapse!
Also the very government drives through the street with a huge truck at 3am. Extends a robot arm to pick up the glass bin and empties it loudly. It's a warzone out here.
Looks arouns: families making a living, my doctor visit was for free, and a friend is about to take a huge redundancy package thanks to state laws that mandate his company to compensate.
We are so fallen.
I AM PLANNING A VACAY-CAYS. While on a proper mass transit. Vacaycays, I can afford them and I will be paid for days off.
I also cannot decide to which cultural event to go. There is like some open air cinema, with classics screening. Or go for a niche artsy stuff.
I think Europe is in a bad shape.
And nazi russia should rush in and just fucking raze it to the ground.
I live in California.
Do you know how many fearful conservatives have told me the place I live in has collapsed into a wasteland of violent criminal chaos? I can only go outside to check and make sure they're wrong so many times before I just have to assume they're fucking idiots.
Reminder that Australia produced the shitstain gutter scum that we call Rupert Murdoch.
Australia also runs concentration camps for refugees on remote islands with practically no legal oversight. The Aborigines were considered part of the local "fauna" until the 1960s.
Australia gets way to less flak for how deeply deeply racist that country is.
Bro I've spent some time in South Texas and conservatives don't know there has been a border wall since mid 00s.
portland here. same issue. i have people who visit that refuse to leave my house because they are terrified of the city. many aren't even conservative and are liberal. propaganda has done it's work well. it's hilarious and sad.
So... not sure if that's where the picture comes from, but what seems to be happening in Europe right now is roaming gangs of nazis causing violence.
I'm impressed by the dilligence seeding the lie, just in case the news pierces the veil.
Europe = One town in Spain.
To add a little bit of context, what happened in Spain was actually the opposite: gangs of fascists terrorising immigrant communities.
I first understood that maybe 15 years ago, when I was in the UK during the supposed mass riots there. My parents read about that in the media (European public service broadcast news) about the anarchic circumstances and were worried about me.
I was in one of the cities hit hardest, according to the media, and my flat was actually right at the location this was about.
All that really happened was a single demonstration that was mostly peaceful without any vandalism. That's it.
Sky News in Australia is equivalent to Fox or GB News.
Yep, also free to air in rural parts of the country. Murdoch knows what he's doing.
Sky news in Australia is far worse than Fox in the US. It’s little more than a shout box for small minded racists.
I just looked out of the window and I can confirm: we’ve not fallen ( Luxemburg).
Conservative news everywhere. Society has had some form of crime since civilization existed. Never gonna get rid of it. But conservatives clutch their pearls at it and exclaim the end of the world is nigh. Meanwhile conservatives want to suffocate everyone slowly under a pillow of religion while looting their victims pockets of power and money.
It is not conservative news. It is propaganda
Anarchy in Europe? I wish!
Sky news be like:
~~Europe~~ London Has Fallen
shows random clip from the movie
Rupert Murdoch is proof that being an evil son of a bitch makes you practically immortal
We had similar shit years ago when Americans thought Europe is communist. Or years later when Americans thought Sweden became a Muslim state. Or any other bullshit a 12 year old or someone with the mind of a 12 year old believed in the last decades.
And every time the epicentre of stupidity is Rupert Murdoch. No wonder they love Russia. Both are masters of making up insane bullshit.
Sky News Australia is complete batshit, as opposed to Sky News in the UK which is more "normal" mainstream news.
Curious, is this a joke? I'm not familiar with their broadcasts in Europe or Australia
Nope, it's serious. Sky News Australia is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which explains the far-right lunacy that it is known for.
Sky News UK is owned by Comcast, and is generally considered to be a much more professional and respectable news outlet. Not perfect, but more BBC than Fox News.
I was more familiar with the UK one and thought I came across a fake account when I first saw the Australian one. It felt like an over exaggerated caricature of far-right rage bait
mfks living in a utopia and scream the end of the world when they see a black person, ok
Victorian here, i see our african gangs are on the move
Looks like that flew over someone's head.
(Sky news and a right wing politician infamously tried to claim that African gangs were rampaging through victoria and people were afraid to go out at night. This was, shockingly, a lie.)
The Australian bit of Sky News is the bit that Rupert Murdoch still owns.
The man is a premier league cunt and always has been.
If you ever see bullshit racist twaddle being peddled as "news", just do a quick search and you'll often find it leads back to this prick.
I just feel sorry for his many wives, who will have had to witness what Karl Pilkington once described as "like a tortoise without a shell on"
This reminds me of an interaction I had here the other day. There was an article about ICE kidnappings in San Francisco and someone asked why the armed gangs weren’t doing battle with ICE. There are no roving armed gangs in San Francisco, despite what shitty right wing media fantasies claim.
I guess the question is more in the line of "wasn't the 2nd amendment exactly for this precise situation?"
No, they would have said that if they meant that. I cannot overemphasize just how many Americans truly, actually believe that there are just bands of colored men with rifles walking around in the city streets.
Nobody worth talking to takes Sky News seriously.
Several members of parliament do, but I digress.
Australian media has fallen.
Europe Has Fallen! Gangs Run Rampant!
Cops_Harassing_Shirtless_Guy.jpg
I can imagine an Auzzie tabloid running that story if that happened England, in part for funsies, but what's the beef with Europe?
It's Rupert Murdoch (and his bastard spawn Lachlan), owner of Fox News, The Sun, Sky News Australia, and more. The master of misinformation, sensationalism, and ragebait. He's been doing this everywhere for such a long time now.
The master of misinformation, sensationalism, and ragebait.
It's not even really that good. It's just everywhere. Flip on your TV, turn on the radio, pop open a browser, and you're hit with a legion of professional reactionaries screaming "Whitetopia Has Fallen! Brown Menace End Times Are Upon Us!"
There is no longer anything resembling "normal" news. It's just wall-to-wall cop worship, racism, and crime hysteria.
More deranged far right media tossing smoke grenades at and setting off fireworks in the faces of already deranged right-wingers, calling it WWIII. Earth keeps turning, sun keeps burning.
