“I’m the tuffest man alive” - guy who has only antagonised adults who see even winning a fight at the pub as too great a social and legal liability to escalate an argument

Will it be “together” or will it be them, who hold all the structures of the party, who will then spit in your face and call you a wrecker the moment you try to get anything worthwhile?

Trying to tie an unrelated profession to what is basically a fetish culture is beyond gross. Tech has created a class of rich idiot that has the instincts of the weird boy in 9th grade

The reason the US government allowed the Gaza genocide to occur is the bloodthirsty mania of key singular people.

It’s like someone flicked a switch and suddenly facebook and instagram is at least half Israel/palestine content. And google updated maps of Gaza. There was some, previously, it was normal, but now I’m flooded.

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,, including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.I haven't seen the film. This means I cannot confidently assess its editing, corroboration, or the

I don't think it should be controversial to say, "we will not provide financial or military assistance to a country where the Minister of National Security brags about popping people's dreams of 'food' and 'education' then sending them to a prison where they are starved."

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Haiti TPS has been TERMINATED.
Those with terminated TPS are in our nation Illegally. They have two options: LEAVE IMMEDIATELY or be DEPORTED.

In an absolutely grotesque anti-DEI assault, they picked a man who if anything has never received enough credit or accolades for his actions. If this is not a criminal conspiracy, the laws must change.

I also think it's important to recognize that in a lot of areas where this is most prevelent price and quality are a lot less correlated than they once were. Sure quality is always gonna be more expensive but a lot of expensive stuff these days is just a fancy brand name slapped on cheap crap

Ive had to hire a van multiple times to pick up some marketplace furniture. It was a massive pain in the arse, the companies were always booked out for weeks. I wanted to start a company called “one million vans”, the entire promise being if you need a van, we’ll have one.

“The left needs to learn to listen” if you said that the right or centre NEEDED to learn to listen to the left you’d be out of a job. One is a constant from pundits, the others are non-existent. The left is constantly vilified and calls to violence against it are so common they’re not even noted

I think centrists really have managed to find an amount of baseless venom and vitriol that is unique to them. The right uses bigotry, the left uses history, the centre goes for dumbarsed interpersonal attacks.

I think one of the reasons western governments support Zionism is it gives them a tool to suppress internal dissent. A Palestine supporter is likely also a welfare reformer, a billionaire taxer and an anti racist. It’s their litmus test as well

consequence of grounding morality & specifically sexual morality in a concept of purity and shame instead of a right to bodily autonomy. placing the onus to avoid violation on the person being violated instead of the one doing the violating. it is sad, & very difficult to change once established
