I know the Far Right are the obvious problem right now but never NEVER forget -
I cannot believe these words but it was an actual sitting Conservative government of the United Kingdom that is truly behind all of this.
Farage and 'Robinson' et al are merely bit players.
The lead roles in this tragic farce were played by a succession of more and more depraved and grasping Prime Ministers, Home Secretaries and various freaks and ghouls who didn't just intentionally open Pandora's Box to empower themselves, they did it with a cynicism staggering to behold. Actual People of Colour in the Conservative Party stoked divisive racist rhetoric over a decade and a half just so they could fill their pockets.
At least the actual nazis are true believers. The Conservatives did this knowing full well there would be fat consulting roles, secret service protection, American passports and never-ending speaking gig and fat dinners - STILL paid for by us.
And they ennoble each other for it! They actually award each other for this destruction.
And they know who is behind this. They made the deals with the American Libertarians, Israel and Putin. They acted along with the 'think tanks'. None of it was incompetence. All of it was orchestrated with full intention. The globe was the target not just the UK.
Farage and 'Robinson' are the lightning rods but compared to Patel, Braverman, Rees-Mogg, Hunt, Badenoch, Cummings, Hancock, Dorries, Gullis, GOVE, Zahawi, Javid, Anderson, Sunak, Truss, May, Johnson and Cameron - the little goose steppers are just patsies.
There's no either/or here - it's OK to hold all the fuckers to account.
And they aint gone anywhere. Many of them are right there in Parliament making out nothing happened.
WE SEE YOU.
Never forgive.
Never forget.
Know your enemy.
What I find most chilling is the atmosphere within the cage amongst those of us being squeezed by the 1%.
I see it every day but it may not seem apparent if you are outside looking in at us.
We (‘the arts’ if you like) have been systematically dismantled by Libertarian Techbros - this much I hope is blindingly obvious.
What you don’t see is the inmates turning on each other. We never rallied or lobbied and fought back. Our ‘industry bodies’ colluded.
Instead the graspers just started grifting even harder. It’s the nature of a caged animal to eat its neighbour when denied food.
Instead of boycotting Spotify producers proudly display fake stream counts.
Instead of calling out sexual misconduct DJs take the side of rapists.
Instead of standing by whistleblowers artists turn on them.
Instead of supporting each other we backstab and gossip.
Instead of advising caution, artists back bizarre anti-science stances.
Instead of standing by the people who gave artists jobs they side with the new ‘disruptor’ boss.
Instead of standing tall and speaking loud artists slither about whispering.
Instead of accountability there is blame-shifting.
Instead of moral stances there are spreadsheets.
Instead of protest there is bragging.
Instead of humility there is posing.
Instead of right there is wrong.
And I don’t know what to do anymore.
