This is called the Demonize, Defund, Destroy Cycle btw.
1. Demonize a government service
2. Defund the service to the point that it can no longer function properly
3. Abolish or privatize the service, using the excuse that it’s clearly just a bad idea that can’t possibly work
The only America/Britain misconception on here that bothers me is when particular Americans insist that curries aren’t popular in Britain, or that they’re not more popular in Britain, and that by extension the British are not familiar with spicy food
The last 24 hours have been one punch in the heart after the other. Be gentle with each other. Unless you see someone being a colossal shitstain, I guess. You don't have to be gentle with them, but be gentle with yourselves and don't start a pointless fight.
RIP to the victims at Brown, to the victims at Bondi Beach, and to Rob Reiner and to Michelle Reiner. Suffice it to say there is a serious global problem with young men that seems to be rapidly escalating that we dont have the means to address
Seems like a good time to remind everyone what Mossad admitted last year:
“We create a pretend world.
We’re a global production company. We write the screenplay. We’re the directors. We’re the producers. We’re the main actors.
The world is our stage.”
This article about Section 230 was written in 2021 and is still one of the best articles on the bill. So many people, from journalists to politicians to podcasters to advocates, get the most simplest law about the internet wrong. You should read this.
There’s more guns stockpiled now than before the Port Arthur massacre and Nazis are regularly given a mainstream platform. But the Antisemitism Envoy thinks the thing of note that led to this was …. Palestine protests?
15 civilians were killed in the massacre targeting Sydney's Jewish community. A day in which Israel massacres 15 Palestinian civilians in Gaza would be at the low end of the average in 2+ years of genocide.
Israel's atrocities and the impunity they receive are undoubtedly the number one driver of anti-Semitism worldwide. And to show how little Israel and its apologists care about anti-Semitism, many are exploiting the Sydney massacre to justify Israel's rejection of a Palestinian state; baselessly blame Iran; and demand more censorship of anti-genocide protests.
@DHSgov Bullshit, you'd give your own Grandmothers Tabasco enemas if it meant you got to beat up folks whilst cosplaying as the military you couldn't get into.
