Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 2hWhat do you think would be the legal argument for them guarding the ballot boxes? There is also a question of morality here, a military that blindly follows any order from superiors is dangerous, they swore an oath to the constitution, not an individual or commanding officer. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 11hThe New World Disorder...MAGA is ushering in a geopolitics that has never really existed before, one with the complete and total absence of trust, and nobody seems to know what to do. It really is time to start fighting back against this with meaningful action, start offloading dollars and see. 020
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 15hYeah, true, so best case scenario is we have an army of armed idiots running around, worst an army of programmable drones...either way, result is the same. 141
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 15hThere isnt an adult in america that doesnt know that being ordered to guard an election ballot box, by this current administration, is an order to, in someway, subvert democracy. They know. Just like the ones bombing fisherman and schools, they know. 251
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 16hNo surprise really. Good result for Labour and the Greens, Right wing populism will do nothing in London, the news here is how badly the Tories and Lib Dems have done. OK, they are never gonna win here but to be so irrelevant, so often, must be alarming. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 16hThe first post is so indicative of US brainwashing, the BS "greatest country on earth" mantra that could only ever be spoken by the citizens of a uniquely insecure place, one that trains its people to look inward, to ignore the fact that across the world, there are better examples of a society. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 18hIts all so maddeningly ridiculous, isnt it? This new, sovereignless right wing, bought with christian nationalist dollars and Moscow bot farm backers, we are seeing a new type of revisionism, one that seeks not to pursuade a populous but to render an army of obedient, drooling idiots. 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We are truly living through a de-enlightenment era, where religion has seeped its way into contemporary institutions, into politics, the tremendous advances in scientific discovery and medicine are derided and labelled as heresy, racial identity is currency, now this, public executions. 2374
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026In short, an area's renewal can not be over and around those who need the most, ignoring their plight in favour of some twisted economic religion that encouraging consumption and greed will lift us all, together, to a better life. This place is everything that is wrong, not right, with us. 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I have ever seen. A huge new, grotesque shopping centre, casino, bars and restaurants, sitting overlooking the decrepit mall, now only fit to serve poor people during the day, and the even poorer at night, the accidental juxtaposition rendering a dambing, visceral reality of Gatsby-esque renewal. 110
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Sat the old Stratford shopping centre. Run down, grubby, cheap but full of life and energy still during the day. At night the homeless would congregate in there and NGOs and charities would bring clothes and cut hair, give out advice and support where needed. It was the moat depressing thing....2 100
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026"One of Europe's greatest regeneration success stories" I worked in Stratford a few years bag for a couple of months and what I saw doesnt really fit into this framing. Below the Train station and in the shadows of the cathedral to capitalism that is the enormous new Shopping Center....1 100
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It will only stop when the media treat these people in a manner that reflects the fact they chose to no longer contribute to the society that they are trying to remotely police. That means telling the reader/listener/viewer where they live and why they live there every time they comment. 110
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Grace? Standing with your back to the Spanish team whilst they lifted the trophy? Being captain of a side that erupted into violence because they lost? Nope, Messi and Argentina let themselves down massively in a final they expected to win because of their arrogance 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Amazing aren't they? These patriots who insist leaving the country for tax purposes, rendering them economic migrants, who then shout abuse back at their country of origin whilst insisting that immigrants into the UK assume British culture immediately upon arrival. We live in very stupid times. 110

Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I dont believe i am. All of the evils of men are finite and history does not hide from their crimes. One day Palestine will be free and self governing, I strongly believe that. Whether the Israelis are acquiescent initially or not, it will happen, it must. 220
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You are seemingly arguing that a resolution cannot be found because of the levels of atrocity. Germany are now Europe's most powerful nation and an EU member, you would be saying that was impossible in 1945, perhaps. As evil as Netanyahu's regime is, like all things, it will end. 100
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Its a peace process, shared governance, when the democratic consensus is to rejoin the republic, then thats what the people will do, thats simply democracy in action, the point still remains, history tells us nothing is impossible if the will is there. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Agreed. But the two state solution can oy come about with a change of attitude in leadership and subsequently the people. Adams and McGuinness were active members of the IRA, soldiers, they sought a peace through dialogue after years of war, a peace which for them held no victory. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Arguing that the two state solution is impossible is ignoring history. If you had have asked a Republican in Northern Ireland if it was possible in 1985 they would've said no, ask a Kosovan in the 90s, the same...anything can be achieved with the right leadership and will. Currently, neither exist. 410
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah it really was. Lets not play it down, if that was Mbappe to Dembele we would be going nuts...England are a serious outfit. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And yet AFD, Vox, Reform, Restore, NF...all doing well. How come Europeans can simultaneously hate Trump and support his brand of politics domestically...its bizarre. I am in Sachsen Anhalt right now, visiting friends and they cannot believe what is happening here. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Darwin is laughing his ass off in some scientist heaven. 110
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Probably the end of him. He had to twist, with the hand he was dealt, but is there a path to victory for him here? God I hope so. Vox are vile. 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That should be in the prosecution pack when this lot hit the Hague. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Translated from MAGA english: "Plague, lol, I dont think so buddy, the president will check the memes for today and maybe post later about it blaming Joe Biden, or Iran or whoever but nah, plagues are democratic hoaxes mostly, expect a strong AI video later if its serious" 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Has to be The Exorcist. The two Priests played by Beaker and Bunsen, Linda Blair is replaced by Miss Piggy. Make it happen. 020
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Nope. If telling the truth makes any difference and doesnt improve the electoral chances of the party, in fact damaging them, absolutely nobody has gained anything from it. There is value in playing the system as it is to reach a position where you can change it. 000
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Catastrophically bad politics this. I largely agree with the sentiment of the motion, but putting this forward now, in the current geopolitical climate, is so ill judged, so performative, it just renders the left a self fulfilling prophecy. Just plain infuriating. 110
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I always respected this place, it always seemed a bastion of sensible politics, of realism, of progress. How this culture war, post truth bollocks has infiltrated every nation in europe will forever be a tragedy, we never learn. What is wrong with people? 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This was always going to be how the post war american hegemony ended, pure, unfiltered americanism. Greed, violence, corruption. But what rises from this cannot be a Chuck and Hakeem sponsered return to the status quo. It must be a new dawn, a new america, or it is dead, forever. 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026People. Trump can only exist because americans allow him to. That is an irrefutable fact.4 011
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026People power can dismiss any leader in any country the world over. Part of the machine that has led to Trumpism is the belief that the state holds the authority over the people. This is a charade, a complete falsehood. Democracy only functions when the ruler fears the ruled, not the other way round. 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There are guardrails in the UK that dont exist in the US. The judiciary is genuinely independent, there is no possibility of the UK supreme Court ruling that a PM is exempt from prosecution, the US is uniquely corrupt and its people uniquely accepting of corruption. 010
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In the Netherlands right now...on my way to ADF land...i love the Netherlands, but boy there is some messed up shit going on here too...upside down flags? 100
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Why did the zoo shoot the last fucking one?...shocking, cruel and just very bad business model to be honest. 101
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Gotta be the apartment block fight scene is Gareth Evan's 'The Raid', 2011 Unbelievable sequences throughout the movie, just amazing stuff. 020
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In any other western democracy on earth this alone would collapse the government. America is fucked. 3716
Brizo75 @brizo75.bsky.social · 03/10/2026One really has to question the American media here. To allow a daily platform to these machine men, to spew lies and delusion, unchecked, unchallenged, is as immoral as it is potent. MAGA is political heroin, the press is the syringe...cold turkey very much needed. 092
