Banged up Corsa? Out you come, you’ve places to go.
Boring Ford Mondeo? Sure, I’ll be nice.
Land Rover Evoque Sport? Get fucked, I’ve got right of way.
The Great in Great Britain is a geographical term though, not a propaganda one.
It’s the largest island of the British Isles.
The Greco-Egyptian scientist Ptolemy referred to the larger island as great Britain (μεγάλη Βρεττανία megale Brettania) and to Ireland as little Britain (μικρὰ Βρεττανία mikra Brettania) in his work Almagest (147–148 AD).[29]

They’re not experiencing the same reality
HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex “real world” and instead established a simpler “fake world” for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on BBC iPlayer.[2]
The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (2006), which describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s.[3][4] He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society.[5] Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation.[6] It has since gained further resonance in the social media era in 2025 in the U.S.[7]
Balls is not the correct description for resigning in shame after being publicly outed as a paedophile…
61·7 days agoIncredibly fucked up to think there’s no upside to fighting imperialism. Typical clueless Brit energy.
Dear Leader can’t possibly have done anything wrong, it’s his subordinates that are misleading him. Don’t worry comrade, he will get to the bottom of this and purge those who bring him shame.

1·9 days agoExactly my thoughts about that shitty
bribedocumentary that has just come out that everyone seems to be writing articles and memes about, mocking how much it flopped. Any publicity is good publicity though, so by talking about it they’re just advertising it for them, increasing the likelihood people will go and see it.Yes I understand there’s an irony in my comment, I’ve tried to mitigate that by not naming it.
I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you…It doesn’t walk in saying,

Dishwasher? Fucking bourgeoisie and their fancy toys. No dishes are washed in this home without labour!
If one of us us chained, none of us are free.
Still married Bezos. Still has billions of dollars to her name. Still owns part of Amazon. There is no such thing as a decent billionaire.
And the majority of the profit from those parts is sent straight back to America. The point of the post is to boycott America. Which country America outsources their labour and parts manufacturing to doesn’t really matter.
The car could be made in Canada from Canadian made parts, but if it’s owned by an American company the profit generated is going back to America. Yes, Canadians will get a slice to cover their labour and resources but that’s minimal compared to the final profit generated.
That’s why America outsourced their labour to the likes of China in the previous century in the first place. So they can pay lower labour and resource costs, sending more profit back to headquarters.
You’re not being honest.
You’re trying to get people to just lie down and accept the fascists as their rulers. You’re spreading hopelessness and misery.
At best you’ve lost hope yourself and see no way out. At worst you’re a Nazi MAGAt paedophile sympathiser who delights in suffering and violence perpetrated towards others. Either way, you’re actively trying to make the world a worse place.
Considering how vehemently you’re arguing the point I think you’re a cowardly MAGAt. Trying to get others to lie down and accept the boot upon their face as their reality. To that, I say: fuck off.
Anti-status quo in rhetoric doesn’t mean they are in reality.
