White feminists have a pretty bad history with this, though more and more young people are realising the realities of oppression and discrimination I think. Worth noting: the powers of patriarchy and white supremacy have been playing "divide and conquer" for a very long time. They're good at it.

It's all good, I appreciate your input. I believe all ordinary residents of the UK are entitled to free NHS access, with a crazy annual fee for those awaiting processing. I can't disagree in your point about pillaging staff from the global south. But I will defend universal health care until I die.

That's a whole new level of delusional bullshit right there.

The NHS is 98.8% funded by taxes and national insurance contributions. The remainder comes from payments made my patients. All of this is on the public record.

The NHS is barely funded and woefully understaffed thanks to decades of Tory fuckery.
But it's a matter of public record that the NHS is funded mainly from general taxation supplemented by National Insurance contributions.
Please at least google before spreading misinformation.

can we do "what the fuck is he wearing on his feet" instead because those look like if you asked an AI to design footwear
they look like they're imitating what a flip flop looks like when you are in the middle of rolling your ankle

Someone made a blacksky custom feed specifically in response to the under-representation of black voices here:

Worth checking out at least? Anyway, have a good one!

It's such a wonderful country, and so many of its people, especially young people are hungry for a European future. But the opposition parties are such a mess they've made it too easy for GD to weaken their institutions & limit their future to being just second rate servants in the Russian world.

I'm so grateful you shared your ginko biloba story! It delighted me, thank you!

Thank you for sharing that. I really wish there was more awareness of the real historical record and that more people took notice of the parallels with western colonial and imperial crimes. It's wild that so many people play apologist to Russia while decrying colonialism and imperialism elsewhere.

I won't defend any pogroms, not Ukrainian, not Russian or otherwise. I won't defend the Holocaust. Just as I refuse to pretend that the Soviet Union "uplifted" anyone.

I've never been to Lviv. But the Holodomor was an indefensible act of genocide.

The holodomor wasn't particularly uplifting.

I really don't know what mental gymnastics these edgelords have to perform to convince themselves that Ukraine, with its Jewish president, doesn't deserve to resist imperialist occupation because "nazis". But it's honestly embarrassing to witness.

It's been less than ten years since the US legalized gay marriage. In fact parts of Ukraine have been occupied and witness to active conflict for even longer than that. Please consider that when you impose your purity tests.

It's the peak of winter in Australia - I'm stuck at my mums where it's four degrees celsius. It's always stew time somewhere.

What a surprise, the band who have already been "cancelled" for their toxic and abusive behaviour... are also on the side of the most abusive nation on the world stage.
