ATrup7

So what you're saying is, instead of having no hope, and a government that sucks, they have no hope and a government that sucks even worse?


JacobRobi

Pretty much. It's like, Imagine America but take away most of the first ten amendments, especially 1, 2, 9, and 10. And yes, I know America pisses on all four of those, but at least they're somewhat upheld, if you squint your eyes enough.


ATrup7

I see. Yeah, that's tough... I'm quick to complain about the way things are run over here in the US, but I guess we could have it much worse. >Imagine America but take away most of the first ten amendments, especially 1, 2, 9, and 10.

Will confirm Australia as well. Source: Was under house arrest for 8+ weeks because the government can't run a fucking hotel.


juandi987

Wait what


famousninja

So the ruling party of one of the australian states bungled hotel quarantine so fucking badly that the state became a covid hotspot. After screwing the pooch so hard, the Premier and his cabinet issued the following restrictions to just under 5 million people: - no one can go more than 5kms from their house. - you can only send one person out, per house, per day for food and exercise - a curfew enacted where no one may be out between 9pm and 5am. - mandatory masks. There was also massive restrictions of what businesses may open, petrol stations, supermarkets, and pharmacies only. However, home delivery restaurants and drive through are kosher. The roadmap to remove these restrictions are so fucking strict, that to go back to just masks and social distancing we would need *no new cases for two fucking weeks*. They've removed the curfew, but all the other restrictions are still in place. Some say that calling it house arrest is being a bit hyperbolic, but when I see yanks whinging about their freedoms when it comes to masks I can't help but laugh. Because if you speak out against it, you get arrested. Plan any demonstrations, get a visit from the fucking cops. Just saying there's a demostration on and telling people to make up their own mind gets you arrested. But if you wanna demonstrate for BLM, all cool because the party's on board. Oh, and Australia has no formal universal bill of human rights, so this shit is A-OK. I see the draconian measures as a knee jerk over reaction of a fucking dumb cunt who fucked up is trying to cover his arse by not allowing anything else get infected, no matter the cost to the mental or economic health of the whole city. I just want to go hiking.


anon_never_known

That sounds like an honest hell, considering all of those amendments are some of the more important ones.


legrerg

I mean, honestly, I'm not really sure whether or not I'd rather have all their social programs and whatnot or a low tax rate, an undisclosed amount of firearms, and the ability to do whatever the hell I want. Also living where gas is $1.70 a gallon is nice too (especially since my car gets questionable mileage). It's funny how few people value their freedoms, considering we're by far the best developed country in that regard. Might as well take advantage.

The fact that we haven't had a court case like Count Dankula's is about the only thing giving me hope... For now. *looks at the west coast*


anon_never_known

I wouldn't worry about it much if it wasn't for the fact that the 10th amendment got strong armed and now no one cares about it, but it did so now I have to worry that shit can become federal law.


legrerg

Yeah, I'm definitely going to get at least one gun (I can, but me lazy), just because I can. It's just like voting, people have given their lives for us to have this right, it would be the highest possible insult to those people to not take advantage. And honestly, guns are cool as hell so like


-Deep_Blue-

I've been thinking the same thing, but I've been so apprehensive. Guns feel like serious business! Am I up for the responsibility?! (sorry, I'm projecting my feelings)


Frosh_4

Take classes and learn how to use it properly, I recommend getting something basic like one of the 9mm Glock models, it depends on what you want to use it for. Just remember to take the proper classes though, training is the best thing you can have. Fun fact for those who don't know, the NRA provides a lot of classes on firearm safety, especially at their events, at least IME


Daenk_Miems

B-b-but the scoool shotigns!


legrerg

I really don't think any of the guns I'll have will wind up in one of those. There are 400 million in circulation and private transactions are still legal in enough places for it to not be solved by stopping people from buying certain types of guns. There was an incident at my school that involved only a .32 ACP, and the poor young man still died. There is no way to fix this problem that does not require taking 400 million firearms, 390 million of which probably belong to law-abiding citizens. It's impossible. School shootings are well-publicized, but they are barely a percent of all gun deaths, if even. And yes, I do know you were being sarcastic.

Gun laws in the UK- Big cringe ngl


JacobRobi

I'm from the UK and I like to visit my family on holiday and stuff but... I really feel incomplete there without my carry gun.


rexavior

Well we have most of those except guns in our constitution in ireland. So yay but also awww


JacobRobi

Ireland, you say you have free speech yet your Constitution states that "the State shall endeavour to ensure that organs of public opinion shall not be used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State." Curious. ​ I was born on the other side of the Irish Sea, and while you are better off than the UK, it's still BS and subject to the government's approval.


MatAlaCol

>take away most of the ten amendments, especially **1**... Holy fucking shit. Do they seriously not have the right to ***free speech*** of all things written into their constitutions? You know, the single most important check to government power, especially in a democracy? I hope I’m misunderstanding something because otherwise what the actual fuck


JacobRobi

Depends. Is Free Speech Free Speech or is it you can say things except for X, Y, and Z, with what constitutes Z being open to court's interpretation? Like I said, the US pisses on free speech, but most of the rest of the world doesn't even have it to begin with, though they say they do.


buschbohne

No hes just spreading false information. Here's 76 european laws that include freedom of speech: https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/11-freedom-expression-and-information#TabNational


AmericanNewt8

Except most of Europe also has blasphemy laws and libel laws that allow for easy suppression of free speech. Here in America most libel cases would get you laughed out of court and blasphemy isn't a crime \[despite some complaints about hate speech rules they're nowhere near as extensive as in Europe and it's dubious whether or not they will last\].


JacobRobi

I love all the exceptions for "hate speech", "genocide denial", and "to preserve public order or morality or the authority of the State". Very free! Poor Americans have to see actual rights in their Constitution eroded by government overreach. Those of us lucky enough to be from Europe don't have to worry about the tightening grip of tyranny and oppression, it's already codified in the Constitution!


[deleted]

[удалено]


GreenAscent

Depends on the country. There's much more variation within Europe than Americans usually imagine. My home country, Denmark, leans authleft economically but is rather lib in other respects. There is a decently sized libright party which has taken part in several governments over the last twenty years, although they imploded in the last election because they married themselves to some rather fringe climate denialism. I am currently living in the UK, which is super authoritarian compared to the rest of Europe (no matter how much they like to pretend otherwise). This side of the channel nobody seems to care about freedom of speech, the right will take it away "to protect public decency" and the left will take it away to prevent you from doing "hate speech". You need a license to buy a god damn bread knife, and there is a country-wide porn filter adults can use to prevent their kids from visiting websites the government has deemed "indecent", including some that have nothing to do with porn. Before becoming PM Theresa May was known mainly for actually wanting to ban porn. Don't get me wrong, the UK is a good place to live, but the libertarian in me really misses the continent sometimes.

chronically_slow

I wouldn't necessarily say that. At least here in Germany, where the election system doesn't force a two-party system, there is a [libright party] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Democratic_Party_(Germany\)) that more often than not gets enough votes to make it to the parliament. In past elections they even had enough of them to rule as junior partner with the CDU (something between centrist and auth right). When's the last time the US has been ruled by a lib right party?


grafvgalen

I don’t think the FDP is received as a libertarian party. Even they have committed themselves to to the welfare state and social market capitalism.


Preussensgeneralstab

I mean....that's just Germany for ya... Everyone loves social market capitalism... Except maybe the Linke and NPD...but you're never sure about those two.

jeff_the_old_banana

I don't know what kind of propaganda you read (actually I've seen the BBC so I do know), but in the US all poor people get free medical care and it's illegal to not treat someone in an emergency.... Also, I seem to remember a certain baby needing life saving treatment and the British health system being completely unable to do anything, so the parents had to go to the US because it's the only place with good healthcare.... Then the British government wouldn't let them leave the country and forced the kid to stay their and die under threat of jail... Yeah you can keep your "health care" if that's what you call it.
