Appreciate it!

Would be great if you didn’t post jpost slop here tbh

May they learn why they should have never crossed it once again

Surely not. FIFA exploiting people? Corruption at FIFA? Say it ain’t so!

Yea no. Anti-imperialist or ‘leftwing’ movements and gender rights/queer rights are just about the first things that are always targeted because they actually challenge the status quo AND they make for great targets. Especially trans people, because they make for a very small and vulnerable group of people. Many people in the ‘political center’ do not have enough of an issue when these groups are targeted to speak up loudly enough to stop it from happening. And then they’ll come for abortion rights, gay people, etc

I did see footage of a drone attacking an Iron Dome site. Looked legit for what it’s worth. Literally flew right up to it. Unfortunately no footage of the aftermath from what I saw. Must have been quite the explosion though. Anyway, this is hopeful news. Let’s hope they keep this up and force Israel to back the fuck off.

I do not have a full accounting of what happened exactly but broad strokes are, Thatcher broke their brains and they went New Labour, meaning they would coddle the capitalists even more than they already had been doing. This kept up, Labour became more about getting fancy jobs, the started and supported deeply unpopular wars (especially unpopular among the left), Labour started tanking again and then they chose racism to try and claw back. The only reason they are in power now is because the Conservatives fucked up so much they became functionally irrelevant. But now the attempts by the cons and labs to out-racism each other will come home to roost with Reform on the horizon, quickly gaining momentum, so Labour and especially Starmer are trying to appease both the soulless capitalists who know the end of this economic cycle is coming (and will be disastrous) and the actual fascists of Reform and their voters. They are chasing fictional voter groups that will never vote for Labour while hemorrhaging their actual voter base to the Greens because hey, wasn’t Labour supposed to not be a fascist island of job-hopping dickholes?

Oh and a lot of social-democrats literally just died. Not even kidding, in statistics a not-insignificant voter base they had just straight up died and now Labour is standing on their graves going ‘please vote for us again, we’re racist now please’

Yeah, it’s really fucking bad. Pair that with more and more restrictive demonstration laws and regulations, the proscription of Palestine Action which was already shot down by their own legal system as ‘baseless’, etc etc etc

It’s just Starmer’s leg up to another cushy job and nothing else. And Labour really showed us what Labour has become: a soulless job machine for the rich and careless. They may as well call themselves Tories at this point.

I don’t trust these ghouls to pour me a glass of water, they won’t get anywhere near my body

Remember they exonerated Israeli IDF rapists and then gave then Medals on live television and they are now celebrated figures in Israel.

The entire culture is sick to the fucking core.

Israel is refusing the entry of tents into gaza because they are supposedly ‘dual-use’ meaning ‘they could be used as weapons’

(Thats not what it’s about, it’s about furthering the genocide)

Meanwhile these lobotomized cretins think they’re good sending actual weapon systems into a country that is actively using these weapons systems on the pinkie swear promise they won’t be used to blow up entire residential blocks a dozen at a time

It’s madness. Complete and utter madness. How are these ghouls allowed to represent us? How is this a government to begin with? It’s just a murderous war machine that collects taxes. Fucking hell.

Oh boy just when I thought 2026 would be a great year

True, but this is the issue with public media isn’t it? That any government can influence it no matter how much everyone pretends they don’t or shouldn’t. I’m still holding them to the standard of fair and independent reporting because it is the standard they must reach at any and all times.

But yeah as the BBC stands right now it is painfully obvious they’re not independent at all unfortunately

Yes. They still have a responsibility to do accurate and unbiased reporting and their reporting has not been unbiased on many issues. I understand it has been a long process of breaking it down, but I refuse to lower my expectations or standards simply because they fail to reach those standards. If we all lowered our standards like that we might as well all watch Fox News.

Yep, nailed it. The whole accusation of ‘you’re too left-leaning’ when the reality is, public broadcasters are more neoliberal or even rightwing than ever, just to overcorrect for this false accusation

Of course I hate to see media be gutted like this

But let’s be honest, the BBC also completely fucking sucks. From holding off reporting to ‘not upset Number 10’ to whitewashing Israel’s Genocide through their Jerusalem office, to their blatant transphobia, the BBC is morally bankrupt. They’re trying to appease the right and the far-right when no appeasement will ever satisfy the side that has long ago decided the BBC should burn.

Money.

It’s money. Plus they don’t want to piss off daddy Trump.

Bruh Israel has been bombing churches, mosques and literal fucking synagogues for years now, anyone who’s outraged now is a little late to finding out.

Bit late to start protecting Americans from warrantless surveillance now, don’t you think

Appeal is still possible and likely. But yea I agree, it’s a crazy low sentence
