@hutchinson I wonder oft what part the Dunning-Kruger effect has to play in the generation of political fantasy. Where at once the least informed and least well practiced are the most apparently consciously radical, but never up to point of actually doing anything about it.
@Mengu09 You're always gonna draw into lands in Titian, and with Saga into Amulet I think this is a pretty safe keep to start spamming out the big green men.
@nikicaga It's sort of deceptive, the conservative candidate was the girlfriend of the former conservative MP (he had got her to run) who was forced to resign in disgrace for physically & sexually abusing his staff.
@michaeldweiss What's also odd is that I think all NATO members which actually border Russia do meet the 2% obligation, not that this fat charlatan cares.
@OzKaterji It's probably worth noting that the Iraqi forces were retreating to Iraq at a time when they were being used to repress a revolt which involved rounding people up into football stadiums and gunning them down
I awake to hear that a dear friend in Gaza has lost his wife, his brother, his sister-in-law and his three nieces and nephews. Someone I’ve been working with for 8 months now on giving disabled children in Gaza an education, his family wiped out. I have no words.
@trefeca@OzKaterji@EliotHiggins I don't think there's just one answer, but I'll pop off one.

US, EU, etc.) , making support contingent upon not carrying out certain actions I.E. ethnic cleansing
@OzKaterji@EliotHiggins There is rage is Israel right now as a result of what happened. But the genocidal ambition of the far right has not been created because of it, but rather given permission reveal itself. The time for the international community to act to prevent that has to be right this second
2minutes on @LBC to explain how the government’s migration policy is a slaver’s charter
1. Slashed trafficking protection
2. Low-paid workers trapped in exploitation by restrictive visas
3. Deprioritising labour standards enforcement
Fuelling criminality & punishing the victims
The bearded guy is Alexey Levkin. We (@bellingcat) have written lot about him -- he's a neo-Nazi who left Russia years ago.
His organization, Wotanjugend, once called Timothy McVeigh and Brevik "heroes".
