@rfcwwide@zeenohh it's really funny that the US insists on counting its territorial waters in this measurement (but no other country's), just so that it can inch ahead of china
@wotaoyanmeiguo but again it's a liberal party and the leader is pro-NATO so it's another dead movement with no plan to access the economic issues underlying any of these anxieties
@wotaoyanmeiguo they were already moderately successful in many places, my parents voted for them over corbyn (because they believed the BS the news was spewing about him), i think the main factor is the anxiety about climate change, esp in younger people
@wotaoyanmeiguo are 2 sides of the same coin, reform is a dead movement that sprung up to capitalise off that nihilism, i think they'll win the next election and then never win again, because all they can offer is scapegoats and even if they get rid of all the "undesirables" nothing will improve
@wotaoyanmeiguo read this from the CPC's theoretical journal, it's about MAGA but as both our countries are sad mirrors of the US it describes reform and one nation just as well

there's a massive sense of political nihilism as people are realising labour & tories (cont)
@worldwarbot I looked into it because my bot is still running every 8 hours, I haven't touched it in over a year - it's got $10 free "credit" which expires in September, so far it's used $1.48 for 148 tweets. Looks like they removed all the subscriptions and everything is pay-as-you-go
@wotaoyanmeiguo it was insane watching it happen every single day and still seeing them accuse china of doing whatever they were doing (while also being a "draconian" police state locking people up for no reason)
@ChardineTaylor engels wrote about this somewhat indirectly https://t.co/s14qv6pi0x
but i think it should be pointed out dutch people have the opposite thing where they're proud of being very blunt but they're still utterly dedicated to the status quo all the same
throwback to 2024 when americans were literally putting "pro genocide" in their posts as if it's nothing at all and getting 367K likes, can't wait to see this all happen again on loop every 4 years
@king_cassowary@prerecessiongrl there are a million of these accounts, brics zone, africa facts, iran observer, south asia index, they just make shit up all day and put a stock photo next to it so it looks official
