Psych: "Ok so you're here because *checks notes* digestive on twitter didn't like the outfit you wore at the Youth parliament."
Girl: "Yes."
Psych: "Well that's not an illness so..."
Charlie Simp: "STOP RIGHT THERE, I SENT HER HERE SO YOU CAN FIX HER!"
Psych: "Fix her?"
Charlie Simp: "MAKE HER NORMAL!!!"
Psych: "Normal how."
Simp: "Make her look and act like how I demand people do! You know, long hair, normal make up, normal fashion..."
Psych: "So remove all individuality from her?"
Charlie Simp: "STOP RIGHT THERE, I SENT HER HERE SO YOU CAN FIX HER!"
Psych: you want a session here?
Maybe he has had all individuality removed and now he cannot understand why anyone would have it.
I lived in Wales for a year a few years back. Actually colored hair was way more common over there when I was there. Even in older adults.
Had teachers with pink hair in their 60s.
Tattoos also more common. I recall one of the professors lookee like a Goth girl. She also gave me mediocre grades on everything I submitted to her. 😅
Septum piercing. Always wore black. And long jet black hair. She also told us how to pirate research papers and textbooks on day one. In a power point.
Idk. The culture there was just more chill about alternative style. At least while I was there.
I was in Swansea.
maybe it's Wales, maybe it's just academia. smart people are usually capable of figuring out that self expression no matter how eccentric is harmless and simply brings colour to the world
Young person has eccentric dress sense.
Right wing chud, catatonic with rage: "WE NEED TO MAKE THIS ILLEGAL".
i like saying that history doesn't repeat, it rhymes...
but bloody hell, this is literally the exact same thing we get every single generation
"those young people, completely indecent, just look at the way they dress! their hair! the music they listen to! this technology they use! what will become of them. When i was young i was perfectly obedient and listened to my elders." you could attritbute that sentence to any era of human history and you'll be correct, literally all the way back to the beginning of written history this rings true
Socrates complained about how the youths depend on paper and books too much. And since then little has changed but the exact thing the olds complain about
Why? Its just a picture, what did she say?
That necklace is cool
Great insights there from "Charlie Simp"
Obviously in training to suck up to Farage and his ilk. Fortunately I've never heard of him before so he's obviously not very good at it.
If you replace "woke" with "human rights", you understand what these people are talking about.
These people hate basic human right.
They hate freedom of expression and want everyone to live how they demand.
Free speech is just one humen right they hate. They also hate based on gender, color of the skin, being poor, religion and even basic decency
I think the issue is that young lady with the headscarf. The poster is just trying to pretend it’s about hair colour, but it’s about skin colour
Internal monologue: "I'm scared of them because they are cooler than me, and maybe even smarter."
Maybe smarter? The average one brain cell orange cat is smarter than this guy.
I think you got that wrong, the leading theory is that the orange cats all share one brain cell. Still would be true though.
Keep in mind, it's his words in his head. Of course he thinks HE is smart.
A normal person sees cool hair but a conservative is only seeing red.
I would guess that it's more because there are three people in the shot and they are all young women, and two of those young women look slightly different than the OP wants them to look (one has dyed hair and one has a scarf).
Y CANT THEY B MORE LIKE THAT NICE MRS THATCHER???! 🤬🤬🤬
Could also be that he thinks what they're saying is insane or something
god forbid the children have style
Youth parliament, model UN, all those places, they have always been great places to meet smart girls. Just wish teenage me had just a little more game.
Theater.
IME theater is often where the cute (but often vapid / overly ambitious in a bad way) girls are (some smart ones behind the scenes tho)
Why woke when you can sleep like sheep?
Sheep are fine. You wouldn't want to be one, but those who are, can serve a purpose. It's the smeagels like this guy that are the problem.
IDK, you could make a pretty good argument that we have way too many sheep nowadays. The "smeagels" are kind of useless without herds of sheep who follow them.
Tweet by Charlie Simp, huh?🤔
I fucking love seeing women with partially dyed hair. YOU GO GIRL!
Says some incel cosplaying a dusty old wanker that thought both David Bowie and Elton John were cool AF.
I know very little of UK politics, what is that group for/against?
It's essentially a model parliament, but one that gets contact with the actual government. Under-18s fight for election and hold debates in the same manner as the House of Commons
No, I have absolutely no idea how this makes it "woke" beyond that some people just use the word to mean "thing I don't like"
Fascists don't like democracy, probably. Especially not for women and minorities.
I'm not really against but I think instead we should just ban anyone over 60 from voting...
Pretty sure he's just some edgy teenager.
He probably spent most of last month hanging flags upside down on lamp posts, and calling himself patriotic, it's the sort of thing people like him do. Everyone else calls him a prat
The funny thing is that the Union Jack is not quite symmetrical. You can hang it upside down, but it takes a very trained eye to see it’s upside down.
That’s part of why ships fly a solid red flag with a Union Jack quarter, so it’s readily apparent when they are in distress.
The point is: the people hanging them on lampposts don't know that, hence half of them being upside down.
To be fair, as somebody who has put flags on lampposts, it's slightly difficult to coordinate the flag orientation when you're at the top of a ladder.
I’m sorry it looks like I misunderstood your comment.
Over here people put flags upside down on purpose, so that was my frame of reference.

No worries, here's some context on the lamppost thing if you're interested
