Probably going to be gruesome for everyone. I have a feeling that this whole business with social media and big tech gone wrong is heading for some very unpleasant denouement.

tangerrina.bsky.social•53 days ago

And yet people are wondering why the fascism has drastically risen everywhere while blatantly forgetting that only the left can fight it.

diversityisstrenth.bsky.social•53 days ago

interesting theory, can you expand it a bit please?

paulclark2000.bsky.social•49 days ago

It needs to learn which battles to fight; otherwise it will witness events rather than shape them.

“Left” and “Right” classifications/labels do not really aid in unifying society.🙏

It’s funny how the right wing rabble folk always complained about “ the elites “

When it was their side of politics all along who harboured the elites/oligarchs

But they lack the brain cells to comprehend this…

In the words of the late RMT leader Bob Crow, “if you fight you won’t always win. If you don’t fight, you’ll always lose.”

protestspb.bsky.social•53 days ago

Start from simple: "Don't support dictators".
Then "Don't support terrorists financed by dictators" could be simpler task

Shoulder to shoulder comrades. When I feel like giving up I remember nearly 13million voted for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour and policies in 2017 and over 10million in 2019 and we’re still out there.

Yes and you need to stop creating division. Imagine if conservatives in power. Have you not learnt from Democrats failure ?

sigjar.bsky.social•49 days ago

The left needs to wake up to the reasons for the mass exodus not being stupidity or ignorance, but the lack of good alternative economic policies, the support of terrorism, and the inability to discuss the darker sides of genderism and immigration. Saying ‘no debate’ is not working

annastea-p.bsky.social•53 days ago

Don't bother fighting the right, they don't respond. Concentrate on getting the disenchanted to care again. Trump won in the US because a third of Democrats didn't vote.

annastea-p.bsky.social•53 days ago

Also, stop demonising young white men because of things other white men, Tate etc, do. If we don't show them there's a place for them with us they'll go to the right.

1alphabet.bsky.social•52 days ago

Tates not white ! Why was he included within that statement ?

changopeligroso.bsky.social•52 days ago

Boo-yaa, Owen!

Has anyone thought of the poor landlords?!

bobbyqeld.bsky.social•52 days ago

lmao I remember when you blocked me on the old site for asking you if you still consider BDS to be antisemitic.

Just sit down, be quiet & take your rightful place at the back. Poshboys & journalists have to LISTEN if they wanna join us, you have NO right to a leadership position ffs

bobbyqeld.bsky.social•52 days ago

Like, with people like you we have to have the SAME arguments over and over that everyone else had already passed and gotten over. This is why smelly little journos need to know their place & accept that they're nothing but reactionaries compared to the rest of us

bobbyqeld.bsky.social•52 days ago

Hey, remember when you wrote that long ass article in the Guardian because Class War called you a poshboy and you were all "WAH WAH what about Kropotkin WAH WAH what about Engels" and it was just pathetic, you know?

Poshboys and journos shut the fuck up and LISTEN to the rest of us. Okay?

bobbyqeld.bsky.social•52 days ago

And you're right, the left ALREADY don't give an inch. That's why we've always held you and your wishwashy performative liberalism at arms length. If you wanna shut up and start listening, GREAT. If you just wanna be another Bastani, you can definitely fuck off. Which is it xxx

bobbyqeld.bsky.social•52 days ago

Cos seriously, Owen. I haven't forgotten that if we listened to you, Owen Smith would be Labour leader rn. Can we remember that part? Can we remember why your opinions hold little weight around ANYone on the left???

grombie.bsky.social•52 days ago

The fascists will lock us up

reddington123.bsky.social•53 days ago

A good read .

geraldwinstanley.bsky.social•53 days ago

A problem with this article is that it suggests that migrants and inequality are two separate issues, when they are clearly linked by the divide and rule strategy of the ruling class. OJ obviously knows this, but we need to point out how right wing propaganda operates.

diversityisstrenth.bsky.social•53 days ago

" Pick fights ", who with, what level of fighting should we use?

allroundleftie.bsky.social•53 days ago

Sadly, we do not feel like the Democrats did all they could have done to prevent him winning another term, they may say they have our backs, but where are the actions? Talk about feeling helpless!

adeloon.bsky.social•53 days ago

Not just the left! Journalists, Refugees, Pensioners, Jobless, Sick, Homeless… I’m sure the list can be carried on for a long time. Not just the left but everybody needs to fight against the right, not just the far right.

moigie.bsky.social•53 days ago

It's going to be funny as fuck when the establishment destroy themselves. Eat the Rich ✊️

dhammajo.bsky.social•52 days ago

I thought it was massively convenient after Kamala lost the election in the US all the Palestine protests quickly dried up. Weird how that works….

roland-s.bsky.social•52 days ago

I'm an obstinate old man who doesn't miss a chance to argue with right-wing trolls online, to the probable detriment of my mental health, but like my mother (who told Wehrmacht men off on one or two occasions) I can't bear not to have the last word.

Or stand back and enjoy the moment.
The lives lost won't change !

The lives soon to be lost won't change !

Let the horse die of thirst !

We have periods of stability and progressive change after chaotic era's.

We are due a chaotic era, may the film begin and don't forget the popcorn.

Stay focused. Dont buy the bait and react. Keep your energy focused and take a step back when you need a rest.
