I love high school anime. Original art not by Tetsuo Hara.

I have been woefully absent from PC, haven't I?

That meme man isn't worthy of Cheesa's pose.

Pokie is as lewd as ever I see

These Trump protests are funny.

They're literally burning effigies of him. Their whole thing is that Trump is bad because of hate. lol

Not accepting the outcome and going wild on the streets was something expected of Trump followers.

These people have forgotten which side they're on.

Democracy is great, unless it doesn't go our way. Free speech is great, unless you say something we disagree with. Our generation of university educated individuals are pretty cool.

Democracy is only as great as its participants. That much should be clear by now.

How do we fix this, Pokey?

Should I post Pepe the frog memes on Facebook?

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

People are and will keep voting and reacting on petty emotions. I wish we'd stop focusing on the individuals running and look more at issues and solutions. Less popularity contest, more workshop.

Spoiler:

Frankly, I'd be up for a technocratic society. Shame about this mind-boggling anti-intellectualism trend that's going on.

Mind boggling? Nah. Not sure what it's like in Sweden but kids can come out of high school here not knowing core information about basic things like how the government is run. Then once you leave home you have other things to think about, like keeping a roof over your head and you know, life.

But the fact stands that scientists and experts in their fields probably know better on their respective subjects than you do.

Your "belief" doesn't change empirical data.

23. That doesn't matter to those who believe that scientists and experts are wrong about things.

Of course they do, that's why for the most part we let them get on with their thing. Most people don't really think they could fix the economy or run the country.

I'm just hoping that the Brexit (and now Trump) shocks will result in political parties thinking a lot more nationally, not just about London. Surely the Democrats over in the US will be listening to people more from now on, if they don't you might end up with an independent Kanye West presidency come 2020.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

25

Yeah, that issue needs fixing, too. It's pretty much the same case here. Inland hillbillies (or at least our version) are pissy about the media and politicians only talking about Stockholm.

Although there are some anomalies, funnily enough my city voted remain, I'm pretty sure London doesn't know what a Norwich is. Guess the stereotype about us being a bit stingy might be true, didn't want to take the risk of the pound falling.

Unlike a lot of the big Northern cities Liverpool voted to stay too. I wonder if that has anything to do with their population boycotting The Sun (paper, not the star. Although if you've ever visited the north of England you'd probably think I meant the star).

I'm just hanging back and enjoying the fireworks

And apathy is still a major part of the problem, just saying for no particular reason.

Oh it's the major reason. Not that I can really complain about it.
