Tax wealth, not work ✊

Thank you. They’re already at 85k signatures and 1700 signatures per hour! What an achievement.

Where’ s that screenshot from?

The problem with extremists is that they cannot see purity in anybody else but themselves.

But you fuck one sheep…

Once the water is poisoned, the air unbreathable, all movement surveilled, and the “others” banned, will the UK’s people vote for the Greens?

Sure, that’s it.

A strong reaction for a simple comment. Did me discovering somebody you like offend you or something?

No need to feel insecure.

It seems like they have fans here, judging by the downvotes.

Definitely a cultural difference. Dua Lipa sounds alright. A few songs have now been added to the library. Cinema - haven’t been in a while and most films I watch are somewhat randomly picked from whichever streaming site I’m on. Cumberbatch doesn’t seem to be in the stuff I stumble upon. Football… yeah, can only name Maradona, Bellingham, Ronaldo, and Messi.
I just generally don’t pay attention to names.

I’ve heard of one of these people, but only because of a single youtube video. The talkshow host therein mentioned something about Cumberbatch having two fan-groups that somehow hate each other. No idea who the other two are. Dua Lipa sounds like “Dual Lips”, so I’m guessing Only Fans or porn star.

Among the famous people to put their names to the letter are singers Dua Lipa, Annie Lennox, Paloma Faith, Massive Attack and Primal Scream.

Sooo, she’s a singer. Must be rap or something. Now I have to check it out.

Tax wealth, not work.

Ah FPTP. That’s definitely a bad vote counting system. Hopefully the UK will replace that someday. If the left did unite and stand behind a party that tries to get this through, it’s possible.

Or revolution. Who knows.

That may be true, but how if you’re a leftist (for lack of better term), why would your decision be “I’m not going to vote for a left-wing party because they aren’t united”? Or what is the reason they aren’t voting left-wing? Is it because the left-wing parties aren’t pure enough or too pure?

“nobody is a carbon copy of me and I won’t vote until that happens”

“My vote doesn’t matter” people, where you at?

Probably hasn’t heard of the fediverse…

There were other tourists, too. Bana, from Romania, was on holiday in Canada and visited Peace Arch park, on the international boundary between the US and Canada. She told Becky she had been taking selfies with her husband when a US border official told her they had strayed into American territory without the right visa and took her into custody.

So they’re bringing people into the country to arrest them. Genius. Those detention centers must be rolling in cash right now and DOGE is ignoring it.

Yeah, doing chores around the house in exchange for stay is “payment”. No money exchanges hands, she gets to make friends, sometimes even have a personal guide, she wasn’t short on money and could pay for groceries herself, she even had the money to pay for a flight home.

Framing this as “she was employed” is ludicrous. Painting it as if she was dependent on it is ridiculous. Locking her up instead of sending her straight home is bonkers.

Also saying she was “fucking around” is a straight lie. She told ICE she was there with Workaway. She actually told them the truth. Lying would’ve been “I paid for my stay”.

I know empathy is difficult on the internet, but it seems like reading is even more difficult for you.

Didn’t the EU tell Facebook to fuck off with “ads or pay”?

Mike Nicholson has learned to expect sullen faces and folded arms when he enters a classroom. “They’re like, well, this is all going to be woke rubbish,” he says, ruefully. A former English teacher, Nicholson now runs Progressive Masculinity, which organises workshops for teenage boys in British secondary schools exploring positive ways to be a man. Teenagers so rarely hear the word “masculinity” without “toxic” attached, he explains, that they’re expecting a lecture. Once they realise they can talk freely, they barely stop.

Amen. I’ve been saying this or a while: stop using the term toxic masculinity! It’s ostracizing men. The left has to stop treating men like the enemy and stop with their purity tests.

• Do you believe big companies are a problem?
• Yes
• Do you think Marxism is the only solution?
• No
• You’re out, fucking nazi.

Then the left wonders why people aren’t flocking to them. They preach diversity, inclusion, openness, safe space, and so on, but if someone utters a thought that doesn’t fit the narrative you’re a nazi, a misogynist, an enlightened centrist, a capitalist, or whatever else can be thrown at you.

All in all, a great article, but if shared in left-wing circles, there’ll probably a lot of name-calling and jokes about “men are afraid of strong women”, “they’re afraid of losing power”, “see how it feels”, and so on. It’s like people cannot find the empathy in themselves they so loudly call for in others.

Can somebody short the stock now?
