Reposted by horizontalistNathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Always funny when ostensible liberals are like "You see, this postcolonial conflict is actually very nuanced and complex, because what makes it so very unique is that the majority ethnic group doesn't want to share power with the minority ethnic groups."

horizontalist @horizontalist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026it's simultaneously gratifying to see this and galling to see that being "right" doesn't mean the likes of Starmer and a procession of foreign ministers aren't brought before the Hague on charges of facilitating a genocide. the price of being told "you nailed it" is total impunity. 030

horizontalist @horizontalist.bsky.social · 25/09/2026For an example of what happens when leftbashing smears of antisemitism are taken seriously we can look at the UK, a country that now has determined that support for Palestine is tantamount to a terrorist office but that slashing at migrant boats with knives is legitimate political activity 130

horizontalist @horizontalist.bsky.social · 21/09/2026This has been the case in every election since I’ve been alive. At some point ‘centrists’ have to stop pretending they‘re doing it out of a sense of representative justice and admit their actual beliefs, that authoritarian xenophobic fascism and camps are better than mild redistribution of wealth. 110
