Presumably the Lib Dems voted against the last lockdown cos they're suddenly far right, amirite?
Obviously it's possible to oppose lockdowns without being on the far right. But there is obviously a huge overlap between that, fringe pseudoscience (the anti-vaxx/5G death-rays/Chinese bio-weapon angle), and fascists.

To put it another way: I would, in principle, support a movement for better rights for working fathers. But if a rally were being held and it was known in advance that the main speakers were also colossal misogynists, and that most of the crowd felt the same way, I wouldn't want anything to do with it.

What a huuuge overlap you have there.

Are mums who are wary of jabbing their children anti-vax antisemites in your book?

Not necessarily, but they may well have misled about vaccines by antisemites.

The intimate connections between pseudoscience/pseudomedicine, Great Reset/Great Replacement conspiracy theories, and extreme racism (antisemitism most obviously, but also anti-immigration and white supremacist movements generally) are pretty obvious to anyone who's able to look at these things from the outside.
 

woops

is not like other people
i can't believe this potentially broad-ranging thread has become another tea/biscuit covid battle. you've already got at least one thread for that lads.
 

sufi

lala
I posted it in the shit covid thread as well but no-one cared at the time, but for all the talk of covid-related freedom, the Swedes are at the forefront of this tech in Europe


They're also in the process of introducing their digital currency far faster than any other European country


But hey ho the internet told me they could still go the pub so it's all good.

Social credit is already in place in a variety of ways, though the invasive nature of the Chinese approach is unlikely to succeed here as the Brits prefer to be duped into thinking they're independent instead.

The more subtle implementation allows for individuals to categorise themselves via societal influence, which is a far more effective way of controlling the masses. You could quite easily argue that vaccine uptake is one of them, and I'd definitely agree with you, though how that would eventually be implemented I'm less sure I'm on the "great reset" side of the argument. It doesn't make financial sense.

Personally i think that people involved in these anti-lockdown marches will have been digitally identified and grouped much as the likes of prominent BLM or those who marched when the girl got murdered in the park by that policeman

Its naive to think this isn't already part of society in a covert sense, or that big tech isn't already labelling you and has done for some time. That doesn't effect your fiscal situation yet but wait till amazon coin and instacoin come in and then we'll see.

In a way the divisions in the Tory party work to our benefit here as the ERG will push back against it in national sense, and like always the internal power struggles from each money group within the Tories end up providing mixed direction. So the likelihood of an overt social credit system is quite slim at the moment i would say.

What they do quite happily is create the tiered social system through benefit suppression and ethnic media vilification, which allows people to discriminate or reclassify in a socially acceptable way. I would note that one of the ways that British society could be uplifted would be a large increase in welfare, i.e. a UBI, and interesting to note that this a big bugbear of the anti-lockdown movement.

I would certainly march against a government led social credit scheme if directly implemented, but probably not to watch Katie Hopkins pull a swastika out of her arse

Removing yourself from personally identifiable social media is a strong start if you have the real fear about this. Why not find an IP blacklist and put it in your firewall then see whos watching.
& this place is "personally identifiable social media" by the way
