It's not about being scary, otherwise you would pick someone scary; picking someone who if you tried to stare down you would see no soul inside is good for propaganda reasons because it sends the message that they are not unwilling to use military force if they have to. This is why dead-eyed grumpy old men is what you expect

There is literally no redeeming quality to NZ's military

Seriously look at this guy. There does not exist a single flattering image of him on the whole Internet.

The guy seems to have a neck with variable fatness. I didn't can't order them by date though, so, I don't know whether he had a liposuction at some point.

The content also doesn't sound like any liberal ever.

Sweden's Green Party 'infiltrated by Islamists'
One party member refused to shake hands with a female journalist, and another compared Israel to Nazi Germany.
3 hours ago
I stopped keeping track of these after the ISIS has progressive potential people because it got boring to me, though my sides did enter orbit when the Swedish Islamaphobia expert joined ISIS
Europe earned its future

*EDIT
The article speaks for itself but

"I think the Green Party needs to work on their inclusive values," he said. "How do you combine diversity and religion with an ethnocentric and prejudiced idea of gender equality?"

Ahahahahaha
Why didn't you get  T O L E R A N ?

Liberalism is defined by content, not by allegiance. Which makes the Swedish Green party not liberal.

Supporting sharia law is absolutely and definitely incompatible with liberalism.

Hahaha, it's not like our conservatives are conserving, what makes you think it's anything different with liberals? It's just the state of affairs of things, and I think you're being very ethnocentric with your cultural liberalism that you see your liberalism superior to foreign cultural norms, that's not very liberal m8, and sharia law is progressive for its time

If its time is not now, then it's not really liberal

[Loud Whispers]

But what will happen in 2017 if the army is stationed in current day Poland? I've read posts from people in December 2016 complaining about the UK goverment compromising their future safety for the sake of the past
Let me demonstrate. Let's say that this line represents time.
------A----------------------------B--------------------------------C-----------------
                                                                                         D:  ☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭
 A is the present 2016, B the future 2016, and C  is 2017. Obviously, somewhere in the future the timeline skewes down into D, creating an alternate 2017 where Vladimir Putin invades the UK to liberate Russian citizens over there. Alternate to you, me, and the time travelling British soldiers, but reality for everyone else.

That could be an issue, but as long as we maintain cross-dimensional time projection capabilities I'm sure alternate dimension Polands will be able to count on even more reinforcements from their future to arrive back in time. I'm more worried about time traveling terrorists pre-melting steel beams tbh

If its time is not now, then it's not really liberal

supa liberal like u don't even no fam

Yeah, sure. Because saying that people are allowed to be in favor of sharia law is the same as being in favor of sharia law. And also the same as being in favor people enacting sharia law because they are in favor of it even tough it isn't law.

If its time is not now, then it's not really liberal

Nope, if it's restricting liberties it's not really liberal. You know. Sharia law is all about restricting liberties. Kind of like all of them liberties. That's why it's not liberal.

Of course the label "liberal" is often misapplied only because some policies of certain groups are liberal, but you know, who cares about nuance and stuff?

[smjjames]

Sorry to interject US politics in here, but hey, it's an election year and a major one:

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/apr/28/donald-trump-president-world-leaders-foreign-relations

"“People from the centre will stop him. Normal Republicans would rather vote for Hillary. Surely it won’t happen,” the senior official said, and his colleagues nodded."

(at nobody in particular, or at Bay12) I'm sorry to break it to you, but centrist republicans are an endangered species and there's hardly a center anymore. Plus, don't count on the republicans going for Hillary, even some centrists will absolutely not vote for her. November is probably going to be even more confusing and mind screwing for people outside the US than it is for us.

[Loud Whispers]

Yeah, sure. Because saying that people are allowed to be in favor of sharia law is the same as being in favor of sharia law. And also the same as being in favor people enacting sharia law because they are in favor of it even tough it isn't law.

Who are you to tell people whether they can believe in sharia law or not? That's pretty islamaphobic imho tbh

Nope, if it's restricting liberties it's not really liberal. You know. Sharia law is all about restricting liberties. Kind of like all of them liberties. That's why it's not liberal.

Don't ever let Americans learn about this. They are totally going to pump oil out of spread FREEDOM to other timelines.

TOO LATE. *goes back to previous page*

I wonder how many false alarms they'll get just by animals passing through what looks like an open pathway. Though maybe they'll have night vision cameras to make sure.

It sounds like they're working from the article, but the question remains, how many of the 'illegal crossing detection' hits are animals rather than people.

Your memes are choking out your convincingness, LW

Thought police is bad, no matter the form. It's actions that matter, and if we want to be democratic, we lights let people vote for what they want. If we don't, that could be alright too, just be aware that's what you're doing and that the right dictators are in charge.

I'd be rather worried if I convinced people to adopt sharia law ironically
