SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 28/02/2026The majority of jews around the world have been either silent or supportive through 2.5 years of the mass slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men. Yes, a small percentage have protested. But most have not. 000
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Um, have you been asleep the past 2 and a half years? Israel has been bombing schools and murdering tens of thousands of children with wild abandon. And still you speculate that those 'savage' Iranians might have slaughtered their own kids? F you! 000
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 10/04/2025He lost one night of sleep. But he's bankrolled by the people who are ensuring that thousands of Palestinian children lose their limbs to American and Israeli munitions. 000

SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 10/04/2025This is true. But between 1942 and 1948 a far better generation of politicians, some with genuine honour, integrity and compassion, at least gave us the Welfare state and our beloved NHS. Unfortunately, it's been decades of political degradation and corruption ever since. 162
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 10/04/2025It was unpleasant but entirely normal for me. I just assumed life consisted of such conflicts. But it also gave me exceptional confidence when/if it came to physical confrontations. And that alone has meant I've never had to endure many since. 010
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Uh, not any longer. The brand was sold several years ago to an American conglomerate, and the fuckers immediately reduced the cocoa content in the chocolate. I didn't much care, cos I've always hated that confectionery. 110
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Won't argue with that, of course. As a brown-skinned child, I grew up frequently having to physically fight ignorant, racist kids. On some occasions several at once. And I could not afford to ever lose. 010
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 10/04/2025They now mainly concentrate on aircraft turbines and stuff like that. 000
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Not sure. Think we do still manufacture some high-end engines here. But I'd guess that much of what passes for British engineering is in fact an assemblage of foreign (Chinese) made components. 000

SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025We used to have some, and a few such as Rolls Royce still remain. But like our American neo-con cousins we went big on financialisation and let our industries die. Now we're in a doom loop of spiralling debt, inflation energy resource depletion, increasing social discontent and political paralysis. 010
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I've long been of the opinion that our Western political elites have all but given up on trying to - or at least appearing to try to - look after the general welfare of citizens. They know it's all going to shit, they can't stop it, and they're grabbing all they can before it all goes down. 141
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Certainly Germany is importing huge amounts of LNG from the US. The destruction of the Nordstream pipeline conveniently assisted the US in securing that trade arrangement. As for us in the UK, oh to be sure, we're royally fucked. Half our GDP is financial services and we have few natural resources. 000
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025The hard truth is that, short of using nuclear weapons, the US has now thrown pretty much all it has at its major competitors and adversaries. And none of it has worked or is likely to work. The era of US bullying of the entire world are fast coming to an end. And not before time. 130
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I spent a wonderful 3 month extended holiday in Mexico in 1996. Met my future US wife there. Would highly recommend it. Tho, DF, (Mexico City) is a best experienced briefly. 020
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025No news is good news, and the good news is fake. Now the word 'news' has lost all meaning in my head. 020

SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025They'll be selling that debt and divesting themselves of other US financial assets at an increasing rate. Who wants to invest in an already precarious economy, with an unpredictable and volatile moron President who might seize your assets at any moment to punish you? 110
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I was an abject failure at math(s). Still am. Perhaps if I'd watched Donald I might have become a Stephen Hawking; though I rather doubt it. 😐 010

SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I've never been a pacifist per se. And I've always been anti capital punishment. But if the mob came with pitchforks and guillotines for the predator-parasites who run our world, I would raise no word of objection. 010

SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Particularly the US, Germany, Australia and India, I think. While China is at least building renewables on a vast scale. Not that, ultimately, their contribution will help most of the world avert disaster. 110
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I believe that to be the case. And when we begin to hurtle over the coming energy cliff, we'll burn yet more. Easter Island, on a global scale. 010

SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025We have 'real life' cop shows here in the UK. Cameras recording the cops going about their business. Strange how all the uniformed officers are ALWAYS perfectly polite, respectful and extremely patient in every episode. 000
SlightReturn 🏴 @slightreturn.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Every new energy source, with the exception being the transition from whale blubber oil to whatever replaced that, has been additive.
