@lisboninthesun You retweeted this holocaust denial by a supposed mathematician who apparently can't use a calculator. The sum at the end results in 2.281, not 2,281. Killing an average of just over 2 Jews a minute is eminently plausible & documented.

@pigreen1@DrFrancesRyan I mean, it kind of is. Labour spent the entirety of their last 13 years in power persecuting claimants, and Starmer and Reeves made it clear before the election they'd do the same.
@Overourwall@we_sell_boxes@memorialdevice If you've got a good spot at a gig & then a gaggle of tall fellas push in front of you chattering & farting badly, you don't stay put because it used to be good. If you do, you lose the point of being at the gig in the first place.
@Overourwall@we_sell_boxes@memorialdevice Bluesky is almost certain to enshittify. The cycle is: create great service > monetise with charging & ads > cut costs by making the service shitter now everyone's on board & it's a hassle for them to leave. But that's no reason to stay here being yelled at by bigots every day.
@empiresend@nee_massey None of us are indigenous to Twitter, Ian. You have fully functional alternatives right here on the device you're looking at. It's not a national invasion, it's more like having a tall fella come stand in front of you at a gig & fart badly. Just move a metre to a clear space.
@empiresend@nee_massey Have you thought that comparison through? Plenty of indigenous people who didn't flee got slaughtered. It's easy for us white men to shrug off the bigotry but seeing the intense racism that people of colour get firehosed with on here I don't think we can criticise leaving.
@GeorgeMonbiot Whether you or I stay is a personal choice, but we shouldn't be telling marginalised peoples that they should continue to subject themselves to the horrendous bigotry they receive on here.
@IanH94621212@IrvineWelsh You retweet far right accounts that have conspiracy theories about migrants. Perhaps you can't see fascism because it's the water you're swimming in.
@IanH94621212@IrvineWelsh Every day on here I see fascism and racism even though I don't follow any of the people posting it. If you're managing to avoid that then great, but there's no doubt that fascist content has been actively promoted in recent months.
Since Maccabi Tel Aviv is trending, come and get to know its soccer/football fans who ignited anti-Arab hate and violence in Amsterdam, leading to reprisals from Arabs who were attacked (and who are universally being smeared as antisemites engaging in pogroms).

@bencoates1 In a time when people are getting worse off & expect to get worse still in future, they're not going to flock to offers of minor tweaks from people who are currently doing well. It's going to be populist scammers or a radical vision that's uncomfortable for the super rich.
