Who cares what this streak of piss thinks.

If “western civilization” requires genocide to exist, then it shouldn’t exist.

(Obviously he’s just wrong, but I’m arguing down at his level.)

[–] Arelin@lemmy.zip 13 points 8 months ago

Guess what's built on centuries of genocide and ongoing imperialism and neocolonialism...

If BoJo doesn't like something, that means it's probably a good idea.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago

I'll take my fucking chances. Whenever some right wing cunt makes some statement like this my first thought is they're full of shit and the only they make stupid statements like this is because they stand to lose money

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 8 months ago

Fuck Israel.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 26 points 8 months ago

Guess what fucko, western civilization survived the end of apartheid in South Africa, and will survive the end of apartheid in Israel/Palestine.

Says the man who cheated on his wife while she was at cancer treatment

[–] hackerwacker@lemmy.ml 17 points 8 months ago

Well he's the fucking lord of death for NATO recently so I guess he would know about death wishes.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 14 points 8 months ago

Without even getting into the racist undertones of "the end of western civilisation", he's just talking absolute nonsense.

Mhm given that Israel is doing a jihad right now... Perhaps he's right or he mispoke.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Okay Israel is not doing Jihad. Israel is doing what uninformed Westerners imagine when they hear the word "Jihad". Let's not get things mixed up.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They are certainly on a religious crusade to get rid of the Palestinians who occupy their holy land.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

I mean they're doing genocide, which runs contradictory to the purpose of Jihad since you can't spread Islam (or any religion, really) to dead people. That's why I'm saying to not get things mixed up.

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure he knows what the word "jihad" means.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 15 points 8 months ago

It's Arabic so it's bad and terroristic. -- Boris perhaps.

[–] 01011@monero.town 12 points 8 months ago

So what if it is? Good riddance.

[–] Arelin@lemmy.zip 11 points 8 months ago

Based if true

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 10 points 8 months ago

Can he just slide into the obscurity and irrelevance that he deserves? Same with Trump. I really wish for politics to be boring again and not about quirky individuals with bad blond haircuts.

[–] splintertank@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

What is with the f’ing hair?!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It, along with the whole "smiley buffoon" act is an affectation the embodiment of Oxbridge arrogance and callousness adopted to make him appear silly in an endearing way so that his actual words and actions would appear less villainous than they actually are.

Trying to give off "loveable idiot" vibes

Trying to give off "loveable idiot" vibes

He's managed half of that...

Mr Bean movies really did a number on the generation of Brits.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

I'm going with unaddressed mental illness run amok, leading to apathy regarding presentation, hygiene, etc. Also why Trump looks and smells like literal shit.

[–] itsonlygeorge@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

He’s slowly going the idiot version of super-saiyen.

This isn’t even my final form!

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

tbf UK and France also didn't see a problem with the Serbian genocide so it's not all that surprising to see him share the same sentiment.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Boris Johnson is Trump but with a vocabulary and slightly less ridiculous hair cut.

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Indeed what a hairy cunt

[–] dbilitated@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

you'd think he'd be more worried about Russia hacking chunks off the side of Europe
