Suck it westoids :p

Arguably I would have only committed a few of them and then been incarcerated but I live in the UK I'd be out in a week to commit more crimes 😎

It has kept me so busy scrolling I have not committed a large number of attention and thrill seeking crimes that I undoubtably otherwise would have committed for thrills and attention.

This but unironically.

I think it also, while theoretically good, easily opens up the avenue of "this is a real workers movement honest, send weapons" when govts wanna do "special operations". (And the fell for it again awards shall flow freely and there will be war across the lands).

I hate that I could wholeheartedly get behind this if there wasn't an absurd conflation between struggles between "imperialist powers" and the palestinian resistance.

I know what MMTers believe, but money merely represents value. You cannot "create" new value without productive activity. The MMT description of *currency* creation is correct for currency but completely obfuscates the purpose of currency, pretending that international markets will play along.

How Israel killed hundreds of its own people on 7 October One year on, the evidence is overwhelming.

The Electronic Intifada released today its year-long investigation into Israeli use of the Hannibal Directive on October 7

The state isn't the source of money in any meaningful sense *production* is. Currency only represents production.

Communism.

you download an image (to view, in browser) and clear the browser image cache straight away you're not able to do something like a basic google search without turning off the ability for your browser to view images either lol. At that point you're just fucked and need a new computer.

Most mastodon instances are moderated, many of them also limit who they fedrate to to those who moderate along similar lines - some merely blacklist (rather than whitelist). But again, like if you think that the government are watching your computer so closely that you're going to get arrested if

Not download in the sense of don't load images at all for that site.

I mean that's not a given at all, you also do not need to cache any images, you can even simply *not download* images if you're really paranoid about it (which in most places is overkill).

Its not illegal to post on a website with no ToS. If running one is there's others or there's ones in other countries with better rules.

Mastodon is just as serious as any other social media, nerdier audience sure but that's nbd (and can shift).

capitalists

Starmer is right it is unbritish - the British thing to do is colonise a region, divide and rule, sponsor genocide, then barge in at the last hour to declare “fair play” and provide a solution that secures economic interests

Like the British empire did after “abolishing“ 300 years of slavery.

Not on mastodon.

Hell for all intents and purposes the British invented concentration camps.

We were also starving the indians to death at the time though so I am not sure it was our gleaming righteousness behind it.

that said: I think the "it's not fascism unless they're good at it" brand of analysis probably isn't the move

What if its just that people are desperate to hear ANY version of a vaguely centre left message from anyone which they haven't had any access to since at least 1997?

Its making me feel nauseated and manipulated though.

Heard on twitter you are him. Don't care one way or another about if you're gonna deny it or if I am wrong. Just interested to have a chat about the accusation in private. I am nice and don't bite :p

Everyone Always Knew Everyone knew Jimmy Saville was a child rapist.

I don't think understanding where other people are coming from is craven at all. I think it's vitally important whoever those people are and also takes a lot of courage.

Well the way I see it is that, you have two marginalised groups, each on the defensive and fearful - I think that's very different to one marginalised group defending against a group that has power over them. I think that there's a sort of political culture that denigrates empathy between groups.

I think it is possible to make those arguments in a way that is bigoted and in a way that isn't entirely depending on a whole host of contextual factors. In the current context it's almost ceirtainly driven by white supremacy for someone to make that argument, but it's not black and white.

Because I don't believe people (not saying this woman in general don't know the bint) do mean it that way or that it's helpful to either side to disregard the actual underlying frustrations (of either side) that drive these political divisions.
