Meanwhile my friends are terrified that they'll lose the little PIP they get and be thrown into grinding poverty because they're not scoring high enough on single categories of need, despite having paid tax and NI for years into what was meant to be an NHS and social welfare safety net for us all..

I saw that bug crawling into the ear scene aged about 8 and it's still stuck with me... *shudders* Need to rewatch whole film to know if he's the greatest villain in cinema history though...

They just wanted to be in power, whatever that took and that meant taking in "conservative social values" like "family" and also the corporate lobbies. And corporations ultimately hate anything that's too progressive/left/socially liberal because those ideas also challenge their power structures.

" I told him I thought parts of his plan for Gaza were wacky but that I had supported him in the idea that Gaza could be Dubai instead of hell." Yikes. Why would anywhere sane want to be Dubai? A human rights nightmare in itself.

if he was a millenial online he'd be called an edgelord, but since he's considered a "public" figure, toadying to despots is framed as "I'm just saying, he's not such a bad man!". Despite Trump vocally disregarding human rights. Actually, they both do, since Maher frames all Muslims as terrorists.

I guess everyone has to look for jobs all day now because the idea of a stable career in a single company/institution is no longer viable and they want it to stay that way so no one gets a final salary pension, reliable healthcare, inflation adjusted raises and whatever else used to be normal?

When all the tech products try to be general purpose enough to satisfy business *and* personal needs, the business needs will inevitably be dominant because that's where the big money is. The result is the workification of everything.

....and we are only the first to be thrown under the bus, along with the millions and millions of people in the global south already destroyed by both hard and "soft" power. Make no mistake, this is all geopolitical terror played out in real time.

They want to weaken Europe, and Starmer and co are playing right into the rhetoric ... SM = Steven Miller, his deputy chief of staff. "what we expect in return" To make Europeans suffer in their appeasement with Putin for egotistical gain. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Meanwhile US tech giants could get tax cuts to appease the Trump regime's megalomanical MAGA ideology.

Eligibilty for PIP also provides access to reduced travel costs and companion support for events such as concerts, and to enjoy art and museums. We are being priced out not only of basic needs but of quality of life. Many of us have worked hard for decades before we became chronically ill.

How many excess Covid 19 deaths in the US from his leading role in downplaying the seriousness of the pandemic and gaslighting doctors, experts, mask wearers, vaccinators? You can kill indirectly as well as directly, the result is the same. Suffering and confusion but plausible deniability.

I missed the academic and doctor deportation story? This all sounds like "targeting the intelligensia" tbh. Similar from 1st admin "Don't trust experts" but with added deportations and sinister dismantling of institutions of excellence and intellectual rigour to silence cogent responses to tyranny.

...except paying private defence contractors who rake in billions in profit for providing service contracts on tanks and jets which they supply at huge markups, which your military isn't allowed to fix itself! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHnu... It's pretty insane.

They did not respond. Nor did local councillors. Nor did anyone, in fact.

Right? It basically wanted to prevent being invaded again and has been a bullwark to hold back Soviets/Russians from expanding in the Arctic for 76 years. Someone doesn't know their history! 🤣

Admit? Norway was a founder member. We literally had to resist fascism for 5 years as an occupied nation. This is why NATO was founded in the first place. To protect each other from invasion again.

Indeed they wanted to feel protected by joining NATO since Russia left a massive power vacuum! Was that not their choice though? Or is NATO a closed shop? Yes/yes. *mumbles something about Yugoslavia, religion, the imperfection of large groups of diverse people and everyone being ultimately doomed*

You're not wrong, there's some very problematic dogmatic ideology before humanity going ont when people put Marx on a pedestal above living human beings wanting to feel safe and free to build their own communities.
