That’s pretty funny

Hey I’m not THAT young

Well shit a crusade I might actually join, when do we start burning shit down Leo?

You can’t vote them away. That’s it really.

This is a great writeup I have to say, thanks for that and agreed on all parts tbh.

The word ‘democracy’ is far broader than most people assume it is as it encompasses like 300 different ‘forms of government’ at the very least. Having said that, the concept of democracy as it is expressed in the UK is deeply flawed as you laid out. Any real ‘resistance’ is met with incredible repression and violence. This system is broken to the point that it can not be repaired. It must be replaced entirely. But that’s the socialist in me, though when you lay out the fundemental rot like you did it’s difficult to come to any other conclusion.

Yea no. Anti-imperialist or ‘leftwing’ movements and gender rights/queer rights are just about the first things that are always targeted because they actually challenge the status quo AND they make for great targets. Especially trans people, because they make for a very small and vulnerable group of people. Many people in the ‘political center’ do not have enough of an issue when these groups are targeted to speak up loudly enough to stop it from happening. And then they’ll come for abortion rights, gay people, etc

I’m quite fond of Vanuatu

I do not aspire to live in Versailles thank you. Just a normal house with like, 13 cats.

‘Sports isn’t political’ crowd doesn’t want you to know sports is political

It’s the impunity I hope they lose

I did see footage of a drone attacking an Iron Dome site. Looked legit for what it’s worth. Literally flew right up to it. Unfortunately no footage of the aftermath from what I saw. Must have been quite the explosion though. Anyway, this is hopeful news. Let’s hope they keep this up and force Israel to back the fuck off.

I do not have a full accounting of what happened exactly but broad strokes are, Thatcher broke their brains and they went New Labour, meaning they would coddle the capitalists even more than they already had been doing. This kept up, Labour became more about getting fancy jobs, the started and supported deeply unpopular wars (especially unpopular among the left), Labour started tanking again and then they chose racism to try and claw back. The only reason they are in power now is because the Conservatives fucked up so much they became functionally irrelevant. But now the attempts by the cons and labs to out-racism each other will come home to roost with Reform on the horizon, quickly gaining momentum, so Labour and especially Starmer are trying to appease both the soulless capitalists who know the end of this economic cycle is coming (and will be disastrous) and the actual fascists of Reform and their voters. They are chasing fictional voter groups that will never vote for Labour while hemorrhaging their actual voter base to the Greens because hey, wasn’t Labour supposed to not be a fascist island of job-hopping dickholes?

Oh and a lot of social-democrats literally just died. Not even kidding, in statistics a not-insignificant voter base they had just straight up died and now Labour is standing on their graves going ‘please vote for us again, we’re racist now please’

Yeah, it’s really fucking bad. Pair that with more and more restrictive demonstration laws and regulations, the proscription of Palestine Action which was already shot down by their own legal system as ‘baseless’, etc etc etc

It’s just Starmer’s leg up to another cushy job and nothing else. And Labour really showed us what Labour has become: a soulless job machine for the rich and careless. They may as well call themselves Tories at this point.

Has David Cameron visited Canada recently

Having been beaten by EU cops, our cops are little better than any other’s. Slightly less corrupt I guess.

Spain generally is a lot better on the rights of Palestinians than any other European countries except maybe Ireland (but Ireland still allows the US to use their bases for refueling)

Having said that. Cops everywhere are soulless thugs, the lowest scum on earth. ACAB.

Everyone knows cave diving is dangerous, especially cave divers

It sparked outrage within Israel as well. Not because of the fascistic abuse, but the fact that they filmed and posted it, making Israel ‘look bad’.

Yea imagine Israel looking bad huh.

Hey just a general PSA; can anyone help me find my tiny violin I think I lost it somewhere

Oh because it is so easy to cross now
