Ukpol - Tumblr Posts
Are you American? I highly doubt you are, because no American on tumblr would say this with a straight face. Actually, I'm assuming you're british, and I would say with certainty that since no religious laws have been imposed over there (yet) you guys are actually holding it together pretty well. Though of course, the diminishing support of the monarchy and the mass resignation are still things that need to be handled.
My friend, not even two years ago conservatives stormed the capital, roe v wade didn't just "piss voters off" it showed us exactly how unchecked the Supreme court is, as well as the fact that it was a ruling based off of "christian" beliefs and we are supposed to have freedom of religion in America, We live in a police state where over a thousand people have been killed by the police and its only July, In 2016 a president was elected that the citizens did not choose because the Electoral College is also extremely unchecked, rampant homelessness, the Govt. refuses to outlaw or at least place restrictions on guns despite there having been over 300 mass shootings this year etcetera etcetera
In France, the situation isn't as bad to my knowledge? French followers correct me if I'm wrong, I have a bit of an American bias toward European countries, but from my research, the people of france don't seem to like their president very much, and of course, the systemic banning of women from wearing a hijab, which has had multiple laws baked in so that it is harder to free hijabi women, despite France being known and beloved for fashion and scarves being a big part of that, though scarves themselves are not banned.
Links if you wanna fact-check me, but don't expect everyone else to be this nice. You can't always expect strangers on the internet to give you information and links. If you see a post on tumblr and you go, "Hmm, I don't know very much about this issue" go google it instead of saying that there isn't a problem. You sound very "There is no war in Ba Sing Se" and it's disconcerting. People are dying and its not being talked about because they're marginalized groups. Stay educated.

Okay in light of the absolutely ridiculous developments in the UK, I can't be the only one who's noticed that France, the US, and the UK are ALL collapsing and they ALL based their current gov. systems off one another at around the same time in history, right?
Like,,, my brothers in christ YOU decided to cheat off of each other's homework and now you're shocked that all three of you got F's.
