They're pretty similar to cash, but digital. There's so many great uses enabled, but those uses are antithetical to the current order of things, so they're hushed. Alas, I'm sure there's some new [old] culture war bullshit coming, to distract us for our woes, keeping us fighting among ourselves.
Yea, it got all corrupted years back, with the [inter]national discourse being even worse, as it was a threat to the established order. It is amusing how much the laissez-faire economic folk turned against Crypto, because it couldn't be controlled and could be used by the wrong people. Telling!
Already has been for years, it's been part of the decentralised, digital currency [Bitcoin] argument from the start. Activist groups for example have long struggled to find payment processing providers, despite being entirely legal, they go against the interests of the bankers, so they deny access.
Better at being [the bad kind of] psychopaths and sociopaths, maybe.
Are they now claiming that Billionaires have evolved beyond Homo Sapien? 😂
But he's not the one in charge, McSweeney is and as he's a [genuine] right-winger [not just NeoLib Corporate puppet], it seems everything is going exactly according to plan.
No, the total opposite. If you know no limits, there are no limits. Logic of ignorance. :D
Does that mean we get to see the King of Canada fight the king of Canada? That's gotta be the funniest, worst fight ever and the best sad fight ever.
Those who think nature has no inherent value, that it's just there to be exploited, also tend to see other people who are different to them in the same way: women, people of colour, Muslims, Jews, gays, trans, indigenous, Palestinians, even children... the list goes on and on. It's *all* connected.
Whilst using a long debunked study on wolves as their evidence for the mythical "alpha" role. Dodgy, misleading and mystical evidence, the best kind to build a socio-economic and political system around to impose on the world. What could go wrong?!? Oh, everything, who knew?
No to #digitalIDCard with the far-right being given unnecessary airtime and living in a world where minorities are vulnerable. Digital ID cards, no matter how their sold (entitlement cards, benefits cards) will reduce access to services. #FreedomToWalkAround
Binge watching #Smallville [not watched since original airing] & they really nailed a "Red State". Material gets spread around a wide area, causing all kinds of weird and terrible things, but there's never a mass cleanup, years after it's recognised as a major threat. Thoughts and Prayers I guess.
No! 1917's Balfour declaration was signed by, having been lobbied for by an anti-Semite (which you smell of), as it was of strategic value to Britain, in part, as it was a way of getting rid of the Jews from Britain. Israel's been an anti-semitic endeavour for over a century. Stop your bigotry.
If you wanna talk occupation and Israel, then it's the Evangelical Christian's you wanna be looking at. They're where most of the funding and pressure comes from. But, it's not Israel that's put the U.S [and world] on its knees, that would be NeoLiberalism.
That's some Dem propoganda. It would actually be dems with knee on neck, GOP shouting at them to be more brutal, while choking someone out, while emailing for the eradication of a group of people. The Dems are very active in the class war too.
Here you go. They don't upload often [cos, ya know, the world as it is], but when they do, it's positive. www.youtube.com/@positivelef...
Because "The Centre" [Neoliberalism] is collapsing, so it's seen as a choice of Socialism or Fascism. Capital almost exclusively chooses Fascism as that maintains the wealth hierarchy. Here's a shortish oldie, but goodie [inside playlist]: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gCs...
I feel bad for the workers who have to clean up after you. Unless you have some magical way of stripping the tube running through you, that doesn't leave a mess. :P /me expects to have inspired weird expressions reading this comment :D
It wouldn't be a commercial enterprise without some kind of sexual exploitation [whilst bemoaning the high level of sexuality in society, especially the young, who're most targetted by the advertisements].
Oh come now. That's a totally reasonable level of collateral damage, to disable a [governing body's] camera [within their governed territory]. Who hasn't murder dozens of people to stop a camera recording them?!?! Though it would be obvious in less extreme times, this is satirical.
:O How could you say such a thing? Where're the rich and famous meant to stay during during summer holiday, or their kids when sent away for being kids, how are they meant to gain wealth if not having others pay for their assets, what are they meant to use as collateral for tax avoidance loans?
If she wasn't already, she is now [for seeing the news]. There's just so much of it these days too, plugged into so many countries, when the world's a tinder box.
Did some leafleting against them a while back. Employees kept coming out to insult and argue with me, ensured I can't forget what they're about.
But it's easy, especially if they're visibly distinct, but only once a society is in such a state that people will go along with it, just so they have an avenue to direct their anger and frustration. Playing on our baser fears of "the unknown other". Hence skin colour, religion, sexuality, tribe.
FWIW, this could be helpful in breaking the spell. Goes through a BUNCH of the tactics used to indoctrinate. Might help your mum to see them presented like this. Good luck. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Markedly different there though. I tend towards quiet life, except when I'm fortunate enough to partner up with someone who drags me out of my comfy zone, whilst also providing the motivation to get my 💩 together and become a real live boy 😂
Analysis paralysis leading to failure to launch? I know nothing of this condition, honest. 😳
I don't know what "this" is, but trying to filter down to top X lists, let alone a single fave never works, always gotta make changes shortly, some time and a while later. Then there's those like "This is me" that I love, but the person and therefore movie/OST is too tainted.
How'd we assess the validity of your prediction, we're too far left to be able to make out the details of those that far right. 😂
Would you know what to do if you experienced transphobic discrimination at work? We’re running free Know Your Rights at Work Zoom workshops. Come along and hear how UK law protects you. The next session's on 25th August. Sign up at: buff.ly/yuKaqiP #KnowYourRights #workshop #transrights
I expect I know the answer, but the phrasing suggests otherwise. Are allies welcome? Not only to be able to advise trans friends/colleagues, but a lot of bigotry is expressed behind the backs of their targets.
and they only have bullets, grenades and bombs to deal with. YouTubers have the comment section and viewership stats. Way more stressful and personal.
Or, they'd end up feeling like work, rather than a break from work, if not just end up feeling like you're wasting your life and need to do something productive. Like when turning a hobby into a job, the passion and enjoyment diminishes.
Well before you [don't] quit, please check your analytics to see if there's a marked decrease in viewership from U.K. Wondering how much we've disappeared from stats, due to the rush to VPNs. It's a consequence I predicted, wondering how accurate I was. Could get yourself ahead of the pack on it.
Heh. I'd forgotten about that, literally just had to look up what you were referring too. 😂 I was thinking more along the lines of the Socialist and Fascist groups in Germany.
Probably once we organise our own patrols. Something I've wished were already a thing.
Sleeping suspiciously. Sounds like a terroristic action to me. I am curious why it's fine for these men to be loitering in kids parks, but it's dangerous for that man. If only I could put my finger on what the differentiating factor might be. 🤔
Got one of those down my way, too. Absolute tools, although they're getting a fair bit of pushback.
Ah, where Picard's guilt could be seen reflecting off his head! EVERYONE's guilt!
Ah, you noticed, huh. 😏😉🤭
Apparently the guy behind it is also one of the guys behind the "anti-immigrantion protests" outside hotels used for Asylum seekers, while their claim's processed. Doubt they and I share remotely the same opinion on what "citizens patrols" should be doing.
That's not very tolerant. Spinelessness is a job hazard of being a career politician. How can you use a disability they've gained from "trying to do they can for [themselves] the country and their [owners] constituents". Satire aside, Morgan McSweeney deserves to be called out by name too.
and where do they focus on getting their signs seen? Are they on the right side, or the wrong side of ... whatever the demo's about? There are way cheaper and easier ways of being seen, ppl in my local group give a LOT of time to these causes, coping a lot of grief off people in the street doing it
Every person and organisation, with a long enough past, will have stuff they deeply regret in their past. How errors and mistakes are addressed should be judged, not tar entire organisations for the actions of an individual until the end of time.
A) They didn't try to cover it up, they did the typical thing and trusted their comrade, who didn't deserve it. B) They learned from their massive fuckup and like many due to #metoo, they changed their procedures to "trust victims" (and verify). C) The leadership's changed, that was 20 years ago.
Yes, a party that helps out with most demonstrations in the area and has a stall in the middle of town every week, reaching out to the community. What do you do?
At my earliest convenience, I shall, thank you. 😂
This echo'd the tone when it came up at SWP meeting, for people's impulse towards Your Party. If we can influence policy in the right directions, without having to concede on major/many points, worth supporting, if only to move the conversation leftward in Britain.
Policy and Social change through pfp change. Super easy, barely an inconvenience. We'll have em quaking in their boots. 🤷 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_Dt...
Open letter to M&S regarding their recent, inherently transphobic apology. Please add your name, these corporations care about money, if they know transphobia is more unpopular, they'll pink wash themselves, which is better than cowing to hate. openletter.earth/an-appeal-to... #M&S #TransRights
Apparently 40% of those arrested have priors for domestic abuse. I'd expect a high number of them had traumatic childhoods, as it's so often cycles of trauma creating abusers who pass on their trauma and round and round it goes.
Assuming satire is a bold move these days. Was jus' checkin'
Are you trying to make an argument that building ballrooms for the elite is good for the working class, or was that a missed/unintended interpretation?
These things aren't so much rewards as backhanders and pay offs. They all scratch each other's backs, that's how they accumulate so much wealth. It's been a class war for centuries, but we keep being distracted by the battles, we forgot it's all part of a war.
'OMG, known, proven, consistent liar, lied to us. How were we to know, this is most unacceptable' - Said people who live such sheltered, privileged lives, detached from reality that they use this as a new excuse to buy more pearls to clutch.
Gonna need to also invent energy to matter converters, to allow the infinite growth paradox of Capitalism to exist on this [otherwise] finite planet/galaxy/universe. But hey, at least many have been lulled into believing rampant consumerism has brought QOL improves. The joy of cognitive dissonance
/s But, if I take some out of the carton and put them in another basket, that means pulling two baskets and having some eggs rolling around in one, certain to break. 😏🤭
So much hate for a hollow head. Starver's just the mouthpiece for McSweeny, who's the one really making the policy decisions. Clearly, he's done a great job hiding himself, to avoid accountability and responsibility ... as usual.
We’re about to do this for the economy
Well, it's not like there's a better place for something that produces tons of heat and runs more efficiently the colder it is. Well, aside from death valley, but that's it. /s
Please explain that to all the Americans who believe they and U.S peeps are better off than "Europeans", because incomes are higher... as if expenses don't exist, or that Americans have more, let alone bigger expenses. But hey, look at all the jobs you have to do, that rich peoples made for you 😁
Well, I made a deal with the universe. I get a dollar for every minute MSM avoids analysing or even critiquing Capitalism. So, 3 houses for everyone \o/
It is tricky though, takes time and to date, I still slip up. However, when I have, they've already gotten a picture of who I am, so have felt confident to correct me, reinforced by my reaction, including apology and further attempts to cause those parts of my brain to die (so to speak).
We stand united with all minorities who also face hate, violence, and fear. There is a planned far right protest at the Roundhouse in Bournemouth on the 9th August. If you are able to attend, please do. We will be there to show solidarity with refugees, and to stand against the far right.
Seems the perfect fit for this vile government to me. Same dehumanisation, evasion of the cause of the refugee crisis (wars, famine and dictatorships Britain perpetuates as it clings to dead Imperialist ambitions) and of course, the same kind of scapegoating the Nazis did to Jews. Fuck Starmer admin
The time for this has been changed to 4pm. This is due to the local Fascists organising an attack on the Chine Hotel in Boscombe Spa Road at 5:30pm, allow us to move there after to defend/counter-protest. Please attend at least one or the other. If you won't stand up 4 others, who'll stand up 4 u?!
Protest in #Bournemouth #BCP for #Palestine tomorrow 25th August from 5:30 at the Town Hall. Intention is to end in the square. Due to the request for pots and pans, I'd also recommend ear-plugs as it's likely to be unpleasantly loud.
⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down the FTC’s “click-to-cancel” rule, days before it was to take effect. The rule would have required companies like Adobe and Planet Fitness to make it as easy for their customers to cancel subscriptions as it was to sign up.
IKR. She's been terrorising people with book clubs, knitting classes, even prayer clubs and churches, preaching about peace, community and love. These things MUST NOT be permitted in an imperialist state! Hate, violence, Xenophobia and childhood indoctrination are the values required here!
Bear in mind that if you held up a sign saying "I support genocide", you would not be arrested under the Terrorism Act.
It's a tough job to roll out red carpet for Fascism, they need to focus on that. Besides, ignoring most of the country is fundamental to the carpet's structure. Also, Starmer's just a puppet. Do you blame the tail for the behaviour of the dog?
That's what happens when so few actually vote, because they're all a bunch of cowardly, corrupt puppets, scared of upsetting the oligarchs.
Without economic and social justice, there cannot be significant environmental justice, which is where Greens have failed for so long. They've tried to be moderate in too many areas, meaning they can't be radical where they claim to be. Polanski seems somewhat different, but the party will lag.
Such a bigoted comment. (/s) They can't stand for anything, they have no spine!
That's what I heard with the 2016 administration (except not tips, but working class). However how can something that's already permanent be made permanent?!?
#MarxismFestival kicking off right, with a crowd sourced looping chant of 'Death, Death to the IDF', following mention of Glastonbury by the opening speaker. Much LOL. Tune in Live to learn some stuffs. #Socialism Fight #Labour #WelfareCuts #Palestine www.youtube.com/live/J6ZN3w8...
Damn. Wish my rent was less than 20% of my income. It's actually ~50%.
Look, Labour are desperate to rollout the red carpet for Farage's Fascist takeover. This is just a part of that, to ensure that any and all non-violent opposition to them can be proscribed. Just coincidence it serves Western Imperialism in the short term.
That pfp undermines any argument you make. See how lame it is!
Not according to Sir Kid Starver. He defended the Fairford five. www.independent.co.uk/voices/keir-...
Someone supporting Western Imperialism.
Whatever it takes to stop people opposing Western Imperialism, without the need to explicitly state that's what it's about.
Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine Action 4 Palestine. What do you mean I'm saying 4 Palestine Action, that's a coincidence officer, I just support Action 4 Palestine. 👼
Trial of Ben Jamal and Chris Nineham is attack on whole Palestine movement 👇Join the solidarity protest outside the court on Monday
Sue her for emotional distress!
It's already done. "Tax The Rich".
There's way more multi millionaires than billionaires, who also hugely benefit, without needing the benefit, especially at the expense of ~90% of the population ... who're the customer base, cutting back on purchases, which means less revenue and therefore a shrinking economy, leading to collapse.
I really hate seeing it lumped as "tax cuts". Soo many people have them sold to THEM, but they're not for THEM. Subsidies for the rich would be a better name.
In 2001, as the Terrorism Act 2000 came into force, I warned that it could be used to ban non-violent protest groups and imprison those who support them. Government spokespeople and cheerleaders told me I was talking rubbish. And here we are. #PalestineAction www.monbiot.com/2001/02/22/w...
Huh, I watched this just last night, which tells it slightly differently (though most matches the article). Israel had been "stealing" [kind of] the enriched Uranium from U.S, which is was pissed about. All the secrecy means it's hard to KNOW the truth. youtu.be/QNI7_u99rec?...
Once Farage walks into Downing Street on the red carpet Labour's laid out for him, then starts proscribing pro-democracy groups resisting his authoritarian crackdown, Labour will be shocked when people point out that they were the ones who set the precedent that non-violent group can be proscribed.
hmmm, not sure it'd be possible to chill with him today. He'd be so excited and overwhelmed by all the things we've learned in recent years, building upon, refining and disproving his findings. Before he faints when you pull a smartphone out to look up the answer to something. 😂
Not getting emotional about such acts is what's rude, getting emotional is human.
Not a Jew hater! I use "foul language" frequently, possibly due tot he autism, but in this case, it's appropriate language given they're FUD'ing about a GENOCIDE, millions of people having their homes destroyed, no food, water, electricity and you lot keep calling it antisemitic to say that's wrong.
