Doing a Nazi salute means, at the very least, you view Nazism, the Holocaust, etc as unserious enough to form a casual punchline. It can also signal tacit approval or allegiance. Either way, it's an inherently antisemitic act. Why bother interrogating the motivation of an antisemite?

Walliams continues to have an unbroken run of the most rancid imaginable vibes. Why do we eternally promote such obvious wrong'uns to the status of celebrity? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

FYI: this account is literally a BlueAnon grift, with no connection to the actual Parks Service, or any public employees at all as far as I can tell. They post fake, imaginary LARPing posts, as well as 'numbers station' style coded messages. It's claptrap designed solely to sell branded merch.

Oppression is not a matter of the well-resourced institutions of state wielding actual punitive violence and legal censure against you, it's whether people call you rude names on the microblogging website.

Hey peaceful protest doesn't appear to be working at all, how about we try ✨violent protest✨

'Peaceful resistance is the only moral option' I bleat, as the cop brains me with a nightstick.

Oh I see Andor has been latched onto and misunderstood by some of the worst shitlib grifters in the world.

"Adult human female" / "sex is biological"

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

Hating Chris Packham is a red flag. Literally one of the only celebrities who is even slightly visibly autistic.

Revolutions are littered with the corpses of conservative vacillators like Gavin Newsom. He has absolutely no energetic role to play in events; he will fold like a wet newspaper. We should spend absolutely no effort defending him nor beseeching him.

The point of Andor's Ghorman arc isn't 'violence is only ever the result of cynical provocation and only benefits the Empire' - it's that 'violence is absolutely necessary to overthrow the Empire, and we can defeat its attempts to subvert it with overwhelming collective sacrifice'.

There is no better example of 'capitalism creating its own gravediggers' than Waymo automated vehicles being used as self-summonable barricades. What our forefathers wouldn't have done with such power. The Paris Commune, Red Munich, Red Clydeside etc would have lasted forever.

Above all else, fascism is chaotic. It depends on projecting the image of overwhelming force, because its actual capacities are hamstrung by simple disorganisation. The most important battle to win is the battle against the fear of the regime in your head. Keep. Pushing.

The State never intentionally confronts a man’s sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest. ~Thoreau

Such a braindead take to be arguing that mass protest and physical resistance to ICE raids is 'just what Trump wants'. People will truly say anything to justify clamping down on any form of resistance they do not control.

The American Revolution has begun. We don't know it yet, but it has.

If the Houthis had taken the Madleen, they would have nuked Yemen by lunchtime today.

So whilst wealthy right-wing techbro conspiracy theorists were complaining that the government / reptiles / Jews were assembling secret data surveillance apparatus to enable permanent dictatorship, they were... assembling secret data surveillance apparatus to enable permanent dictatorship? Yes?

Even if we presume this isn't a total hollow grift by a handful of techbros including Ian McNicol (which is it), even if this were true, surely any economic benefit will be utterly outweighed by the costs of unemployment/retraining from adding 7 million workers to an oversaturated job market.

The fall of great empires is rarely a binary proposition; they are the result of centuries-long rot. However, sometimes a single moment represents how far things have fallen. The UK govt shrugging when one of its flagged vessels is boarded by the IDF represents its permanent exit as a great power.

The only time trans public voices get quoted in national media outlets is when they're counterposed against the most unhinged disgraced grifters like Forstater. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend the kind of brainworms it takes to look at a trans women and say 'Ah yes, this is a person to whom male patriarchal privilege applies'. Have you *heard* what patriarchal men say about trans women? Have you read nothing but Harry Potter when you were 8?

I would be willing to lay money on the fact that there are more incidents of sexual violence carried out by the management of a second-tier transphobic newspaper like the Telegraph, than by the entire trans population of the UK in a year.
