How Romesh Converted To UKIP | Romesh Ranganathan

[@annepoitrineau5650]

I used to teach in a women's prison. it was in the days of Big Brother. My students were watching it very assiduously. I was fascinated by the idea of prisoners watching these inmates who had chosen to be locked up.

How is the google profiting from one-liner sock puppets making comments? Plus more offensive ads! Maybe depoliticizing America's legal system would help? So: "A nonpartisan Justice may compel two recusals by junior partisan Justices." How about that idea?

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

I just watched Professor Tim Wilson talking about how he "infiltrated" UKIP because a) he was "concerned about the downfall of Western Civilization," and b) because he "had heard that UKIP was racist but didn't believe it." Romesh's experience is so refreshing.

[@triciaamheiser785]

you know Romesh was playing for laughs & UKIP are indeed racist, right?

[@burtcocain1986]

Got a link to that? I like Tim, it doesn't make sense that he'd be an actual UKIPper.

[@haeuptlingaberja4927]

@@burtcocain1986 Yeah, I like Tim as well, despite his inexplicable attachment to the fookin' Tories. He is obviously a very smart and decent man. I was really, actually shocked when he talked about joining UKIP because he was concerned about "preserving British values and traditions." How in the world could such an intelligent man not know exactly what Nigel Farage is? I will try to find that clip for you. It's a recent one. And since Tim does appear to read most of these comments, he might even decide to clarify what madness took hold of him...although I wouldn't count on it, as it is--or at least should be--the most embarrassing/shameful thing that a thinking, feeling person could possibly do.

The bit about Android users is more relevant to the attitude of iPhone users with their superiority complex

[@TestTestGo]

I think part of the joke is that the argument is usually made in the other direction, that Apple fan boys are mocked for being snobs. Mocking Samsung users in a similar tone is unexpected, and therefore funny. Of course any brand loyalty taken to an extreme is worthy of ridicule. It's silly to define yourself by what phone you choose to buy.

It's funny, but having to remember that people see you as a 'representative' of some minority demographic you happen to be part, is actually quite stressful. When someone is trying to treat you like a mug or unfairly, you can't be seen to be annoyed if feeling angry because you will come off worse and whatever demographic you represent looks bad and it perpetuates the negative views of the group.

Is it really so hard for you to just behave in a civilized manner though? Notice how people of our race who behave badly get criticized by our community to hell and back. Your own mother will turn traitor on you if you are a pasty-faced criminal. Yet in your community it's all "he was a gud Boi!" And "dey keelin us!" If your community woke up and realized that supporting their own criminal elements purely on the grounds of race is a losing position in the long term, you wouldn't need to be an "ambassador." Because we could all just be friendly, civilized people together. We police our own, it's why we ran the world for so long, now you guys need to learn it too.

I'm not sure immigration policy should be dictated by the demands of capital. I think capital should be dictated to by democratic nationstates. Businesses are always going to want significant immigration in order to keep wages low and provide labour & customers. But what is good for them isnt necessarily good for society.

@@mogznwaz I'm more of an ethno-nationalist myself. And I don't think it is a good idea to have immigration based on ability / education. That would end up with a situation in which the settlers are "better" than the natives and will create its own problems. Just look at how well those of Hindu background now do in politics, banking, medicine etc etc. It is a bad idea to create ethnic divisions within a national territory. And it is even worse when one group significantly outperforms others. As an ethno-nationalist if there is going to be immigration I would rather it were the most backward, antagonistic and unassimilable people possible. That way at least the native population have a chance at survival
