Another Jewish person thinking they can make a deal with the fascists to punish the people they both dislike?
Not to be rude but I don't think you should use "lived experience" as a shield like this. I remember the 90s explosion in anime! Even I (a person who was completely ambivalent towards the genre) suddenly knew what Pokemon and Digimon were!
Reminder that Biden decided to share the "forty beheaded babies" story despite being told by his staff that it was unverified - he shared it because he wanted to demonise Palestinians.
I don't mean to be rude but I don't think the right has a more "compelling" narrative - they have more money and the press oligarchs on their side. If your response to the Corbyn and Starmer years is "we should learn how to communicate better", were you actually paying attention?
The correct answer is "sell your property - you only got it because your ancestor was a thief and a toady, begging the monarch for some land he didn't have to till."
Ah - shrines for fictional characters can be a good thing! Let's not tar them all with the same brush!
I quite like "Sweet Caroline", even if footy fans have started singing it.
The electorate is only right when it is convenient it seems
5th July 2024: Starmer becomes PM 24th August: Starmer has his first corruption scandal
The Observer deciding to champion Social Darwinism today:
I think critiquing Owen Jones for calling the NI riots "a warning from the future" is unnecessary, when it is clearly a figure of speech and he obviously hates Labour.
Reminder that Bennett is a reactionary prick, not a "liberal" alternative to Netanyahu.
Reminder that Labour thought this was acceptable politicking
That also explains this particularly rancid tweet - they couldn't stand not being the centre of attention, and burned everything down to prevent that, even if it harmed hundreds of thousands of people.
A post I saw today that is basically the complete opposite of my politics. The world is run for the benefit of the powerful - our current reality is not "efficient" or "inevitable" and should be radically changed.
No wonder they hated Castro and tried to overthrow him repeatedly www.smithsonianmag.com/history/befo...
One of Henry VII's musicians was an African man known as "John Blanke" who came to England as part of Catherine of Aragon's entourage.
I don't agree with Caroline's politics but that is unfair - the peak in 2015 happened after Ed Miliband lost but before Corbyn became party leader. Green membership has often been a proxy for dissatisfaction with Labour.
