🚨KEIR STARMER COMMITS TO CRACK DOWN ON X

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey says it's "NOT FREE SPEECH"

Starmer agrees and says we need to crack down on X for whipping up violence

These people are insane
They're authoritarian and dangerous
They must be removed from power

[Dr. Eoin Lenihan @EoinLenihan]

Democracy is a fragile thing.

Across the UK and Ireland, politicians are manning all the usual pumps this morning. Left wing politicians are speaking about racist rioters, 'conservatives' speaking about law and order. Others will make vague statements about people's right to live in peace. All falling back on tried and true soundbites.

But few to none will tell the obvious truth - democracy is fragile and a business for serious and judicious people unafraid to take tough decisions for a longer-term good.

Politicians (in Ireland and the UK) have not upheld their side of the democratic contract in terms of mass migration. In particular, politicians from parties of all stripes, left and (supposedly) centre and conservative (FF/G and Conservatives in the UK) have granted leave to stay to hundreds of thousands of unvetted fake asylum seekers in their respective countries and they have then rammed them into closeknit communities - without consultation with locals and without a veto for locals.

This has pushed people's backs to the wall.

Communities have, time and again ,said no to this but they have been met with deaf ears and accusations of racism.

So when things go wrong - as they do with increasing, violent, frequency - such as a fake asylum seeker trying to saw the head off of a well-liked disabled local man - communities know there's no point turning to politicians for help.

Democracy, based on common law, asks that people forego retribution with the promise of restitution by serious-minded and judicious people in the name of the state. In other words, people can give up clannish, sectarian or other collective units capable of doling out retribution because the state has promised to take on the burden of ensuring justice will be done.

The problem is that for decades deeply unserious and non-judicious people have taken up roles in politics and judiciary. Activists with dangerous ideologies regarding open borders and the forced settlement of illegals in close knit communities have taken charge and told people - like it or lump it. That is authoritarian and a direct rejection of the state's responsibility to act both judiciously and to act in a manner that makes resort to retribution and clannishness necessary.

Today, unserious politicians and their activist backers in the media and NGOs will slander, deflect, scapegoat and look to score points for the very actions that led to the riot in Belfast last night. Some 'conservatives' will speak in solemn tones to sound judicious but their words will ring hollow.

Few will admit the root of the issue, democracy in Ireland and the UK has reached a crisis point that's been two decades at least in the making. When politicians act in an authoritarian fashion, leaving the people they supposedly represent with their backs firmly against the wall, all contractual agreements, all rational actions go out the window and people revert to their natural understanding of justice - clannish retribution.

And that is the fault of the politicians.

Any politician offering anything other than a mea culpa and a commitment to radical political change that acts in support of the people today is signalling their commitment to the further destruction of democracy and the state.

If this attacker is meant to have mental health issues
How come he was savvy enough to dodge the resettlemt scheme with it's stricter vetting 🤔🧐

[daveinthedesert @AZ2ADave]

They hate him because he’s against the things they desire…that turns into TDS. Then they hate every single thing about him and become willing to take desperate measures to silence and stop him..

HISTORY IS POWERFUL.

When history is taught honestly, societies gain perspective, wisdom, and balance.

When history is taught selectively, it becomes a weapon.

Take slavery.

Many people are taught a version of history that begins and ends with white Americans enslaving Africans. That is a chapter of history. It is not the entire story.

The reality is that slavery existed for thousands of years before America existed.

African kingdoms enslaved rival tribes and prisoners of war. Arab slave traders operated across Africa and the Middle East for centuries. Europeans enslaved other Europeans. Asians enslaved other Asians. Human beings have been enslaving other human beings throughout recorded history.

One of the most uncomfortable facts is that many Africans were captured, traded, and sold by other Africans before being transported across the Atlantic. Without local African rulers, merchants, and slave traders participating in the trade, the system could not have operated on the scale that it did.

Another fact often ignored is that slavery was not ended by a magical change in public opinion.

Technological innovation during the Industrial Revolution reduced dependence on labor-intensive agricultural systems. At the same time, abolitionists, religious leaders, activists, politicians, and ordinary citizens fought to end slavery despite fierce opposition.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans died during the American Civil War, a conflict that ultimately resulted in the abolition of slavery throughout the United States.

History also shows that the political landscape was very different in the 19th century than it is today. The politicians and factions that defended slavery were largely concentrated in the Democratic Party of that era. That is a historical fact. And the same party for some reason has been able to hold black Americans captive for decades even after slavery had ended.

The lesson is bigger than slavery.

The danger begins when educators, politicians, activists, or media figures present history as a simple story of permanent villains and permanent victims.

History is complicated.

Every civilization has committed injustices.

Every civilization has produced heroes.

Every race has been oppressed at some point.

Every race has oppressed others at some point.

A healthy society teaches the full story - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Because when history becomes propaganda, people stop learning from the past and start hating each other in the present.

[AJ Inapi (Allan) @aj_inapi]

What the HELL is going on in the West with these migrants attacking, stabbing and killing white folks in public?

This seems to be a planned operation all across the West.

Are these people sent to the West to erase the white race? Because the attacks are proportionally targeting white people?

I won't be surprised if civil war starts brewing across the West.

It's like these instances are being pushed to start an uprising.

INNOCENT people are being targeted and that pisses me off...

[sandym @Sandy1Texas]

The most powerful moment in the courtroom wasn't the verdict. It was a grieving father demanding that the man who killed his son look him in the eye.
Jeff Metcalf's victim impact statement was a heartbreaking reminder that while criminals serve sentences, victims' families serve a lifetime of grief.
This case was never about race. It was about right and wrong, accountability, and justice for Austin Metcalf.

[ck @seekoz74]

@TeamTrump47 @TonyLaneNV Does that mean we stop paying for it in 2032

[DrTracyL8ly @DrTracyHackett]

@TeamTrump47 Congress has used it as their piggy bank for decades. We hear this same news every few years.

[JustHereToBrowse @JustBrowse4Info]

@TeamTrump47 We sure as hell shouldn’t be paying for Congressional retirement if they’ve squandered ours!

[Big Dog @sleeepydogz]

@TeamTrump47 I guess nobody remembers DOGE found millions on SS that weren't eligible? Still waiting to see someone indicted for that.

[Leanne @Leanne176826967]

@TeamTrump47 Ask Democrats why they were signing illegals up for lifetime social security payments.

[🇺🇸USATica🇺🇸💕👊🏻 @LaTica_70]

@TeamTrump47 WE should take politicians pension funds & those should be transferred IMMEDIATELY to Social Security. Let’s not forget all the USAID fraud as well.

I don’t want to hear ONE MORE WORD ABOUT SS RUNNING OUT OR RAISING RETIREMENT AGE!

[SpiralJive @NinetyEight_6]

@TeamTrump47 @TonyLaneNV They need to track down that 2 trillion they "reappropriated" a few years ago, and all the interest it should have accrued.

[jag2060 @jag2060]

@TeamTrump47 Easy, Democrats don't give a shit about the future, they use tax revenue to buy votes and embezzle funds for themselves. Sure a few RINOs are in on it, all of DC seems to be in on it. But the wheels will come off soon.

[KathyW. @katbird4unc56]

Seniors have NEVER BEEN A PRIORITY IN THIS COUNTRY!!! Same with veterans!!!! Social Security was raped and pillaged by congress and the money given to illegals and thieves who didn’t pay into the RETIREMENT INVESTMENT FUND (IT IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT) and every cent of it must be put back and what we get monthly doubled!!!! It’s past time this money came back to those of us who payed into the system 40-50+years!!!! Talks about dissolving the SS Retirement Fund we invested into will be aggressively fought by millions!!!!

[PMaxTV @PMax_TV]

@TeamTrump47 Because we have a corrupt, fiscally inept Congress run by lifetime grifters. Also, decades ago they created legislation to "borrow" Social Security funds, i.e. legalized theft. Seniors get one third of what they should receive. Congress could care less.

[Ashley (TeamTrump47) @TeamTrump47]

I’m not a congressman or an economist, but can someone please explain to me how we don’t have money for American seniors but millions and billions for Somali fraudsters?

Thanks 💁🏼‍♀️

🚨Trump to Iran: Your military is destroyed. Your navy and air force barely exist. The “Bully of the Middle East” is DEAD.

You waited too long to make a deal. Now you’ll pay the price!
