the same people who call hamas terrorists are the same people who would've called the anc and nelson mandela terrorists during apartheid south africa
it's really that simple
nelson mandela was on the usa's terrorist watch list until 2008
@unordinaryjo@_sindarin digital nomads don't generate wealth for the general economy digital nomads take advantage of the rand being weaker than the £/€/$ to live a lifestyle they cannot afford in their home country
they predominantly work remotely for foreign entities
landlords benefit exponentially
@unordinaryjo@_sindarin exorbitant property prices that have risen far beyond the line of inflation is not good for anyone
overvalued property prices simply price out first time buyers
overvalued property prices increase rent to an unsustainable amount for locals

@MisterFlak@brettherron@Our_DA@CityofCT tbf, there's a lot to cry about. the da have an undeservedly good reputation considering they blatantly prioritize servicing cape town and affluent areas
they support apartheid and can't condemn a genocide
and the solution to high crime is not building a wall. address the cause
Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.
His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.
Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.
Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.
Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.
