"Do you think you're better than others?" No. That's how I know that they can choose to do the right thing at literally any moment. Because I'm NOT better than them, and I've done it.

This should be made @zackpolanski.bsky.social policy today, take the water companies without compensation.

But the bottom line is: what America says goes, and these screaming bullshit campaigns in Britain have been in the service of propping up the corpse of the Thatcherite consensus for a few more years. It is not much more noble or principled than that.

It was a concerted effort over years. In the 2000s, it was standard to agree that Israel’s governments were murderous and their treatment of the Palestinians was monstrous. Tony Himself correctly believes it was his maniacal support for Israel in 2006 that cost him his job, because he looked mental.

It would IMO be better to draw the 100% correct conclusion that all of these people are far right crackpots with a shared project of malicious, extremely bullshitty wingnuttery. More useful than e.g. repeatedly observing by how odd it is that they behave like far right crackpots.

“What is Keir Starmer so afraid of? Thats the question I keep coming back to as he struggles to demonstrate any real opposition to the rise of Nigel Farage and Reform” I would ask, is he afraid or has Starmers role always been to support, enable the far right? www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/whos-afrai...

As an occult scholar I am obligated to remind everyone that most of contemporary Wicca was made up in the sixties

Treating Ms Rachel as some kind of monster is a truly amazing own goal: it makes it crystal clear to everyone who sees it that there is no form of objection that is acceptable, and the only permissible reactions to the genocide are acceptance, cheerleading or indifference.

Being nice and normal is an act of rebellion against the government now. They can't stand it. They're the angry guy from the meme

How come Britain’s main left party is a bunch of horrific management cunts who hate the left, and have no support from anyone in the country except for our internationally remarkable, astonishingly toxic newspapers and broadcasters? Well that sure is a big mystery, let’s try to puzzle it out.

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

Oh look it's the thing they always say

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

I would note here how rapidly the class of citizens who are non-persons with no rights is expanding in white people countries, and how there is little or no organised resistance to this obviously disgusting behaviour.

This is unfortunately standard behaviour when authority exceeds its bounds and its agents are given permission to behave as horrifically as they want. It’s also a sign that anyone in Palestine solidarity is also an unperson with no rights, like the Palestinians themselves are.

its not a "service provision", that's what a privatised charity system is. That's why we use different words for different things 👍

Again, do you notice how much of contemporary politics is horrible people behaving horrendously, while screaming in terror about people not wanting to hang around with them as a consequence.

They're desperate to rationalize "heritage American" as if it's some serious intellectual theory and not a white nationalist twitter meme. Which doesn't work because it is, in fact, just a white nationalist twitter meme.

This is why Labour are failing, by the way: they are terrible, repellent people with horrifying politics, recruited specifically to manage people they *openly despise*, inflicted upon Britain by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. It is not IMO surprising that this does not please the public.

Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.

After years making excuses for what I now know are Israels crimes against humanity, I want to help set the record straight What follows are what I consider the biggest Zionist lies ever told, in reverse order, with #1 being the most destructive lie – the falsehood that caused the most harm Read on

true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

Evergreen liberal centrist rebuttal template:

We didn't have as many Billionaires in the 1950s because we literally went through a whole ass Great Depression to shake them off the useful parts of society The 1950s was LITERALLY POSSIBLE because we didn't have as many rich fucks hoarding their wealth and had to actually pay their due to society

Also Boxing Day is a name descended from the upper classes and aristocracy slavery, don't use it

And America he is also directly attacking democracy in the United States of America. Just to be clear.

If you do get one of these for Christmas please be a responsible owner and pick-up after them.

He spent like 10 years going “I’m a sex predator I am!” and everyone was like “oh you charming Victorian scamp, have a tv show, have a stand up special, have a book deal, have a million pounds”

I don't think that we on the left appreciate just how psychologically destabilising COVID was for the right - for a year they were forced to act (in some places) as if their core assumption about the world -that there are better kinds of person- wasn't true, and they don't want that to happen again.

A new year’s wish that we all start framing paying taxes as positive and patriotic contribution to a better world for all. Thank you Anthony Joshua! I’ve just paid mine too. They were quite a lot less than yours, but for some reason most historians don’t earn £68.5m.

Laughing off pop culture hatemongers/conspiracy theorists due to their seemingly obvious ridiculousness is what broke this country. The ripple effect of G*mergate, C*micsgate, and especially F*ndom Menace is just endless. All were functionally Trojan-horse campaigns for dead-serious Nazi- or >

We really are a nation that loves animals and hates children. These figures are so shameful (via @natacha.bsky.social).

Second anniversary of our Apple TV’s spectacular attempt to understand me asking for “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas”

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

Russell brand was like the Jared Leto of the 2010s. They kept putting him in movies to try and get people to like him

Everyone is 12 theory undefeated

Goodness me, these judicial comments are astonishingly damming of the Campaign Against Antisemitism. news.sky.com/story/regina...

As with Twitter and now TikTok and CBS, they are practicing the Nero Doctrine. Anything that doesn't serve them, personally, does not deserve to survive.

bari is the standard bearer for the media types who think any journalism that leads the consumer toward a left-wing position must be tempered and balanced until it doesn’t.

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

My grandfather fought in WWII and never talked about it. I brag about going down wooden stairs in socks.

Presumably the notion that there’s an epidemic of violent misogyny in our society, and that what the perpetrators overwhelmingly have in common is being men, would interfere with the narrative that it’s an imported problem caused by foreigners

Keir Starmer has deliberately chosen to let British citizens DIE to defend a foreign, Genocidal State with the "Most Moral Army In The World", led by "God's Chosen People" This is why Centrist ideology should be eliminated

I’m laid up with the flu, but I had to peek my head out and say that this is *so* much worse than it seems. And it’s already pretty fucking bad! bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

This, of course is the newspaper that pretends to be feminist to attack trans people but has called Trump a "feminist hero" and "feminist champion" and celebrated the overturning of the constitutional right to an abortion.

This is the second story in three days The Times has carried arguing against misogyny lessons in schools, which it describes as "some weird feminist attack on male children".
