I seem to have missed Starmer's statement of support for Zelenskyy (what with fourteen other European leaders having made statements so far.)

I keep seeing "they want X to die" "they" (oligarchs) know about climate change (& have done for a lot longer than most of us). They think that if there were a LOT LESS people then it wouldn't be an issue they are starting on the low hanging fruit but they intend to kill very many of us

Not sure there's a movie that took my head, and in particular ears, and put them squarely on the rails they were meant to be on quite like The Conversation. Been uncovering its deep truths ever since. RIP, Gene Hackman.

Kier Starmer would make a good "pm of an occupied country" quite honestly. Terrified to upset the press or just so out of his depth he's flailing around showing "look I can do my job, don't sack me energy" What he's NOT showing any signs of being is the PM that the UK could do with right now.....

NATO can't protect Europe from Russia because the US has defected. The EU can't because UK is no longer a member. The UN can't because of Russia & US. We need a body with Europe + UK but not Russia + US, with existing admin infrastructure. What I'm saying is: arm the Eurovision Song Contest.

I think a big part of what's happening with billionaires like Bezos is that they saw that Elon Musk became a mask-off fascist and paid virtually no price for it, leading them to (probably correctly) think they could do the same.

Except he doesn’t believe in either of those things? (I mean he probably believes in personal liberty for himself. Not for other people. He certainly doesn’t believe in free markets though - like all rich fuckers he wants a hand on the scales in his favour and government handouts)

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April — while companies have raked in over £457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020. Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains. It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

Fascism does always ultimately lose, because people being destroyed by it eventually get their shit together and kill it dead. The earlier this process begins, the sooner it's dead and the fewer people it destroys. The only language it speaks is violence. The only rule it respects is force. Fight.

From current performance not really very confident that Starmer won’t be aligning himself with Trump, Putin & co TBH (Will be very happy to be wrong )

Weird how I'm told that I facilitate the rise of fascism by dismissing people who have "legitimate concerns" about immigration but my views on how we should tax billionaires and corporations more have been dismissed for years and it hasn't resulted in billionaires and corporations being taxed more.

odd that "have you tried giving it to a rich idiot who demonstrably doesn't know anything works & who wants to burn it all down" isn't more popular a technique for making things work..... can't imagine why not

is this like one of those induction puzzles? like there are not many people that are going to be better off due to Musk and a LOT of people who are going to be worse off are we just waiting for the person who is going to do something to figure it's going to have to be them............

One thing that strikes me about Elon Musk is how terminally stuck 10 years ago he is Doge memes. Caring a lot about being viewed as A Gamer. Speedrunning the alt right pipeline.

What worries me most about Musk is that I think he realizes that if an administration that takes the rule of law seriously ever gets back into power in the US he may not only wind up broke but in jail, and he’s quite prepared to break the country to prevent that from happening.

by exactly the same token Trump & co are not "strangely aligned" with Putins agenda for some mysterious or unfathomable reason - they are explicitly following it even though it is not in the US or European interests

For all the Cis peeps out there, just remember, it’s never too late for a Trans or Queer person to cut you out of their life. All you have to say is, “it’s not as bad as all that”, or, “you’re overreacting”. 👋

There were trans people in this world before the first king was born and there will still be trans people born into this world after the last king is dead. Monarchy is a pernicious, poisonous idea dreamed up by vain, grasping little men. Transness is an intractable fact and facet of human life.

As soon as the right is in power you get a bajillion takes about what the left doesn't understand that the right does and people pretend this is a valuable left analysis but when dems are in power it's the exact same fucking analysis except people can see it for the left-baiting it is
