@sillhoette69 @Partisangirl @DrewPavlou That's a block from me! 🚫

The abuse of children is now being sanctioned by Courts, governments and politicians. No evidence to support puberty blockers but the activists are still managing to convince some people that they save lives. First do no harm.

There is literally no excuse for political violence. It should not be physically dangerous to be a politician, and absolutely no one wins if it is.

This is just heartbreaking 💔

[A Star for my Celestial Navigation ⭐️ @aStarToGuideMe]

@Partisangirl @DrewPavlou Nope, it was a deliberate attack. If he was effected by drugs/alcohol that's no excuse.

Brendan Nugent reversed 3 times and ran into Helen Haines 3 times. He jumped out of his vehicle with a knife and people had to rush to tackle him. Witness statement 👇

Horrific news: Australian MP Helen Haines will never walk again as a result of Monday’s far-left terror attack. Doctors had to amputate both her legs.

Her attacker was radicalised on the fringes of the Palestine movement in Australia. He supported the Houthis and expressed support for Hamas.

The anti-Israel movement in Australia has so much blood on its hands. 15 dead at Bondi and now an Australian MP forced to amputate both legs. Out of control. The anti-Zionists are literally a biblical plague on any nation that allows their movement to fester

@lgballiance_aus Thanks for all your hard work!

FACT CHECK: Tasmania’s conversion practices bill.

The bill’s backers say the definition of sexual orientation needs to change to protect asexual people.

@StrayWookie @ezgicodes Thank you for letting everyone know. I'll avoid this dreadful individual and 🚫 his X account.

Your name is Jean-Marc, you’re 46, and you run a video game and collectibles shop in Nice, wedged between an optician and a real estate agency selling 1-bed flats for €410,000 “with sea view” if you lean far enough off the balcony.

You know every GTA San Andreas cheat by heart. You tested all of them in 2005 on the PS2 in your bedroom at your mum’s place.

You opened in 2011 with a state-backed loan at 4.7%, and the naive belief that passion eventually pays.

It did pay, sort of. €1,900 a month in a good year, after the French tax office has eaten first, second and third. Your commercial rent is indexed on a formula nobody in the Republic actually understands.

You sell Funko Pops at €17.99, sealed Pokémon cards, refurbished controllers. You let little Enzo, 12, pay in installments because he’s saving for a Switch 2. You close at 7:30pm and walk home because the harbor parking is €3.40 an hour.

Saturday, there’s a protest “against the cost of living.”
You also think living costs too much. You almost went.
At 5:12pm, your metal shutter gets ripped open with a crowbar.

Forty teenagers in tracksuits and crossbody bags walk into your shop like it’s a bonus level. They take the PS5s, the Dragon Ball figures, the till with today’s €280 and even the box of paper bags that say “thank you for your visit.”
A guy in a floral shirt films it vertically for TikTok.

You step outside and say “stop, this is my shop.”
You get hit from behind.
Then rocks.
They laugh. Floral shirt guy is thrilled: good angle, good lighting.
Sunday morning, the police tell you there are “1,400 arrests nationwide” and they won’t send a squad for some Funko Pops. Filing the complaint takes 2 hours 40. The officer types with two fingers on Windows 7.

Monday noon, your insurer reminds you that your €1,140-a-year policy has a €3,000 deductible and a “riots and civil commotion” exclusion on page 31, font size 6.
Saturday night, an MP explains on TV that “the anger is legitimate” and we “shouldn’t cry over shop windows.” He’s never owned a shop window. He has a state-funded apartment.
Sunday, your limited edition Vegeta figures show up on Vinted. “Brand new, never opened, €39, pickup in North Nice.”
The seller has 4.9 stars.
Monday, the tax office emails you. They haven’t heard about the riots. They’ve heard about your payment deadline.

You did everything right, Jean-Marc. That was never the problem.
The problem is you were playing by the rules in a lobby where nobody else does.

So stop believing in the State. It’s not coming to save you. It’s coming to collect.

Stop voting. Every five years they hand you the controller, and it’s never plugged in.

Go to the gym. Not for revenge. For you. Because when the system folds, the only asset nobody can loot is the one you built under a barbell.
And make money they can’t see. Cash, side hustles, sats on a cold wallet in a sock drawer. Not your keys, not your coins. Not your shop, not your loss.

Fuck the system, Jean-Marc.
It already did it to you first.

[Crystal's Inner Monologue @agonyhope1817]

My God.

This is a travesty.
Is no one doing anything?

France is disappearing. Soon, there will be nothing left but the satisfied smirks of those who invaded it.

She's the Patron Saint of France.
If this isn't a living metaphor then I don't know what is.

[Socrates @askSocrates28]

@BladeoftheS SOCRATES SAYS pray tell, what should police do to control violent, destructive rioters? Give them milk and cookies?

[A Star for my Celestial Navigation ⭐️ @aStarToGuideMe]

@Vanessid The "context" you provided does not justify the destruction of Limogues town hall by mobs of privileged 21st century youth lucky to have access to free welfare & health care in France. Millions don't.

People's property rights must be upheld by authorities or a nation will fall.

Civilisations eventually fall when people's property rights under the laws of a nation are not enforced ~ The fall of the Roman Empire 🔱

Reactionaries more concerned with old buildings on fire than the disintegration of the social order under their beloved neoliberalism.

When you can’t comprehend a society where women are protected.

@thatbloodybird The replies! 🤣🤣🤣

[A Star for my Celestial Navigation ⭐️ @aStarToGuideMe]

@honouringtruth @Melitaalsole I totally agree 💯 I think when the focus is on women's rights for protections for women's and girl's female-specific needs, then women will have rights. But, when the focus becomes "everyone's right to equality" then men's rights will dominate everyone's rights.
