A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

When I meet and make a fuss over a puppy I haven't met yet, and have a nice chat with the owner, I've been walking away and ending that chat with 'have a nice dog'

No. Even cyclists who ride on pavements aren't causing the same level of social or environmental harm that all boy racers do. The comparison is not apt.

No, the generalisation is fair, and not contradictory. Boy racers and some motorcyclists act in ways that significantly affect quality of life and health of others. That's not intolerance, and in any case, as the paradox of tolerance shows, we are not compelled to tolerate everyone on equal terms.

Petrolheads are seen as just another group of hobbyists. In truth, they're a danger to society. The accidents they cause, the pollution and noise are just part of it. There's also an associated politics: toxic, selfish, macho, climate-denying, often far-right. For their "fun", everyone suffers.

Facebook for memes, Instagram for political education, YouTube for videos, reddit for discussion, and bluesky for soundbites? It's feeling a little superfluous to my social media diet.

The only response to "trans people in sports/bathrooms??" should be "this does not affect your life in any way at all and is a set of dangling keys intentionally distracting you from the confirmed pedos who are robbing our pockets and poisoning our rivers for their sick addiction to power"

The Greens are offering a different kind of politics – one that offers a sense of solidarity, camaraderie, and agency in an age of individualism. Contests like this don’t just give us hope. They make us feel we’re part of something bigger than ourselves. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/the-ground...

It's not assigning blame or putting the burden on anyone. It's not saying to hide the truth either. She's saying just to have sympathy for men. Explaining why 'not all men' can be a valid response to generalising statements. Expressing sympathy for all human beings, even villains, just less so.

Worth noting that it was the case in Palestine before the foundation of Israel. Agreed that a new name would be more suitable. Not sure about Judea. That's a pretty Jewish sounding name! How about Greater Palestine? Republic of Palestine? Just have to avoid 'people's front of Palestine' stuff 😂

I don't see why it has to be called Israel, but if you could guarantee that the state of Israel provides genuine equality across the board then I could concede on the relatively unimportant naming scheme. Yes, other ethnostates should be reined in too. USA for one. Also a rogue state.

Mike Piper @wazzbot.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
First task is to rein in rogue ethnostates like Israel, force them to give up their nukes, then disband their army, put Netanyahu in the Hague, then rebuild a state like 'Greater Palestine' where jews and muslims live side by side with equal rights.

I'm not deep into the specifics of the deal. I leave that a) to those I trust to do the research and well, and for the future when such demands become feasible. But disarmament by Israel is exactly what it sounds like. Start with nuclear disarmament.

Jews =/= israelis. I know plenty of both. They are my literal family. I have an aunt in Tel Aviv. I would implore you to learn about the socialist critique of the 2 state solution in order to see why it is fundamentally unjust.

Yes, my concept of justice has killed people. Very good opinion that means I must take you seriously when you say 'all sound people in Israel' as if there's more than 5 of them. Go ask Palestinians what they want.

Mike Piper @wazzbot.bsky.social · 23/02/2026
No serious leftists advocate for a 2 state solution. Almost no Palestinians do either. The 2 state solution does nothing for justice or long term safety and maintains an apartheid ethnostate in place. It might sound nice, but there's a reason Israel and it's supporters back it.

What I need you all to understand is that America has always been fascist. This particular flavour of fascism is the most virulent we've seen, but it hasn't come out of nowhere. American politics and society has had a fundamental undercurrent of fascism since its inception. This is just metastasis.

At a certain point, some stuff just can't be meaningfully improved. Fridges and washing machines do what they're supposed to. Shoving computers into them is scraping at fractional, hollow gains. Meanwhile, the global south is looted for minerals and our landfills overflow, and we're still unhappy!

My new favourite thing, upon recognition that my time really is less important than that of others, and after driving way more carefully anyway while in my van, is to let basically everyone in in front of me. It makes driving so much more pleasant an experience.
