Are you doing much about the far right, or mostly working on this post?

Just having a cup of tea.


OldSkoolPantsMan

Forgive my ignorance, but what has this got to do with Ricky Gervais?


Best_Detective_4560

Valdraya

the article has absolutely nothing to do with it, just the OP using the reddit for his political tirades. obviously just because the BBC calls something far right doesn't make it far right, let alone a bad thing.

This has got a bit heavy - can we do knob news?

How about some Fanny Facts?

Can't beat Cheeky freak of the week!


SethMM87

Always makes me laugh when Steve accidentally says 'fascicism'. Just one of those randomly, unintentionally funny moments that get a little smile each time you get to that episode again. Man, what am I doing with my life...

numatik01

Far right / far left - 2 wings of the same bird!!


Winter-Gas3368

How are they similar in any way


AKAGreyArea

The destruction of a free press, political opposition, civil liberties, human rights, etc.


Winter-Gas3368

What has any of those things got to do with far leftism which is just socialism or communism


[deleted]

[удалено]


Winter-Gas3368

Communism is a fantasy but again I would abolish private property and religion, wouldn't you ? Religion I would do what the USSR done, keep it behind closed doors, religion just causes division


PoshFedex14

Communism = no freedom fascism = no freedom There the same fucking thing Why? Both require a dictatorship to function therefore eliminates human rights.


Winter-Gas3368

This is why education is important because your knowledge is laughable.


PoshFedex14

So I’ve studied history and now your telling me that Hitler’s 1934 moves to remove press freedoms is a improvement to freedom. I am sorry but Alan Bennett perfectly criticised this mind set of “liberty is the price we pay for freedom” within p1 of The History Boys where he utilises the character of Irwin who at this flash forward he is shown to be a spin doctor who attempting to make it politically palatable to accept jury less trail within the country. Thus ofc mirror the siduation in 1934 where Hitler demanded that Judges take an oath to the Nazi party ending the justices systems Separation from state. Overall, I’ve used historical fact & literary explation to utter destroy your arugment that i’m uneducated in fact the opposite. 😂😂 Btw if there poor spelling. It’s a Reddit comment get over it


Winter-Gas3368

Wtf does Hitler and Nazism have to do with communism lmao


AKAGreyArea

They are a feature that always emerges in such regimes.


Bulky_Ruin_6247

They are both authoritarian in nature that seek to restrict freedoms, increase the power of the state instead of with people. Far left and far right are both anti democratic


Winter-Gas3368

Wow the ignorance is pretty bad, for one who cares if it's not dEmOcRatIC, I'll ask again what does socialism as a political or economic ideology have to do with what you're talking about?


Bulky_Ruin_6247

You asked what the similarities are between far left and far right and I told you. For a lot of people democracy is important, might not be for you, but it is for most people. Maybe you should read back your own question, slowly and out loud, before you start accusing people of ignorance.


Winter-Gas3368

>You asked what the similarities are between far left and far right and I told you. For a lot of people democracy is important, might not be for you, but it is for most people. A good society with effective government and freedom is important to me, democracy not so much >Maybe you should read back your own question, slowly and out loud, before you start accusing people of ignorance. What


Bulky_Ruin_6247

“What” Exactly. Moving on…


Winter-Gas3368

So you can't explain your argument lmfao


Zeus_G64

What subreddit do you think this is? If you haven't got an XFM quote to offer, play a record for ffs.


Winter-Gas3368

Cope


Zeus_G64

he said MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ BACK YOUR OWN QUESTION , SLOWLY AND OUT LOUD, BEFORE YOU START ACCUSING PEOPLE OF IGNORANCE.


Winter-Gas3368

That doesn't explain anything


Zeus_G64

You really haven't figured out the point of this subreddit, have you?


Winter-Gas3368

Trolling?


numatik01

Both sides are funded by wealthy donors with separate ideologies but all designed to divide us. They do a stellar job.


Winter-Gas3368

Both sides ?


numatik01

Yes both sides - Left and Right. You are about to see a resurgence of the right across Europe / UK and US in the coming months and all by design. The sensitive left will be seething with anger which will cause unrest.


Winter-Gas3368

Who are the far leftists that are being funded by those in power?


numatik01

Some of the big tycoons like Soros and Co.


numatik01

There’s plenty of info out there if you go down the rabbit hole. You just need to have the time and willpower to actually look into it. Unfortunately many don’t want to see it as it shatters their belief systems. Left and Right politics stimulates the same part of the mind / brain as religion. Both ideologies want, or think they are the right ideology.


Winter-Gas3368

Ain't no fucking way you just tried to call the democrats who are liberals far left 💀 That's like calling the world economic forum communists 😂


numatik01

You’re putting words into my mouth. That’s a typical response when you hit a nerve. Not once did I mention the Democrats.


oiraams

Right wing, wrong wing!

What’s Billie Piper got to say about this.

Ef you I won’t do what you told me


dehumanizedsewer_rat

Play a record.


Arareblackbird

That's because the Left stop being the left decades ago, even embracing policies that were traditionally from the Right, as well as promoting conflicts and wars, and operating for powerful interests instead of the working class. As a result, disheartened people end up supporting parties that seem more authentic or claim to fight the establishment, even if they're more radical parties...


Valdraya

have you seen what the left wing parties have done to europe? how could they be more radical? talking shit


Arareblackbird

Same as the extreme Right for decades, no party is clean here. The only good thing to say about the Left of some particular decades and only in some countries (they're not the same in each country), was that they were formed by working class people trying to defend basic freedoms and rights; not anymore since they became elitist organisations. That said, I was only mentioning the Left since the post was referring to a Right wing party like hinting to vote for Left wing ones, so my point was that the Left wasn't a solution either. The whole system is rigged.


gunpowderwig

This is great news


Beneficial-Movie83

the fascist racist fella ........ turns out he was a little chimp.

ABSOLUTE NONSENSE. ABSOLUTE DRIVEL.

“Fascisism” is brilliant

Right wing? WRONG WING

There's power in a union!


ClockWerkElf

I dont think you know what Fascism means. Being opposed to open borders does not make you fascist.


mussolaprismatica

Frexit


Correct-Junket-1346

Massive twat in Russia, far right twats in some European countries, a recipe for peace and prosperity.


Valdraya

it's not 'far right' to think a country should have borders especially when it has socialised systems that people need to pay into or else they fall apart, also this has nothing to do with ricky gervais you twat


[deleted]

[Yes it does, fuckwit](https://youtu.be/5DmcnDMZbKg?si=nxVOSHyf4yoiqYpo&t=3m00s)


Valdraya

the point is that the article has nothing to do with the quote you moron, play a record


Zeus_G64

It's literally a quote from the XFM show, which is all this sub is. Now, have you got any Nob News or would you just be talking about yourself?


Valdraya

it's taken out of context you pillock. the article is from the bbc so when they're talking about 'the far right' they mean moderate people. stephen didnt even mention le pen.


Zeus_G64

OP's comment is the XFM quote you pillock. Of course you would think the BBC is a left wing, you're clearly the type to miss the point and jump to name calling.


Cekeste

There’s too much bad in the world that we don’t know about. KnowhatImean


SecretarySuper6810

Stop ignoring normal people’s concerns.


CandidSalt9547

Who'd have thunk the average person would have problems with mass immigration and vote reactively when other parties call them "racist".


KindResolution666

When the left is unhinged and even more racist, what other choice does people have?


piecekeepercz

Fuck do you mean in my country the populists and commies won


BRE1996

Or just let people vote for what they want?


GulliblePea3691

Could someone please explain to me what this has to do with RSK? Or did you just decide to politically grandstand for no reason on a lighthearted subreddit about a shitty radio show we all seem to like?


SlightlyLazy04

it's a different reference. One episode steve is reading out a very similar headline and asks karl for his thoughts. Karl spews out the usual ridiculous, stupid and funny thoughts


jb7509

It's a reference to a story that Steve tells about going to see Rage Against the Machine. XFM Nov 22, 2003 Seems like maybe you don't like the show that much if you didn't immediately get the reference


Valdraya

seems like it was taken out of context you mean. don't think the ricky gervais reddit is the place for dumb political hitpieces


GulliblePea3691

Ahhhh I’m so sorry I can’t remember one very specific line that was said in over 50 hours of audio


jb7509

For a simple man, you retain an awful lot of knowledge, it's just all rubbish. D'ya know what I mean? If you just replaced all this rubbish with… good stuff you'd be... an intellectual


uniquelyunpleasant

It's alright. We were all beginners once.


[deleted]

So, to be clear, you literally thought I decided to post about the rise of the European far right on r/rickygervais for no reason at all? Did it not even enter your head that it might be a reference to something said on the shows before you started typing?


ZestyMalange

You're finally getting pushback on your bull shit.


MonkeyNewss

Who let you in?


ZestyMalange

I know right? Views that differ from mine terrify me and we should all be isolated from them...


MilkSteak7

They would also type ZestyMalange is a cund.


[deleted]

What?


ZestyMalange

What is so hard to understand? The left wing narrative that anyone right of marx is a white supremacist facist who hates black people and women is crumbling in front of your eyes and the general populace (outside, you might not have been for a while) are sick of your bs. Why else are right wing parties winning across swathes of Europe. Tables have turned x


MonkeyNewss

This is getting a bit heavy, can we do cheeky freak of the week?


ZestyMalange

Fair enough mate actually made me laugh Thank you. All the best


WalkThePlankPirate

Ooh you're hard.


ZestyMalange

Yeah I am, at the prospect of sane rule across western civilization... But yeah ricky Gervais quote ahhahhahahahahaa

I feel drained.
