๐จ SHOCKING โ These are the exact same Reform activists who flood X every day screaming, lecturing, and telling everyone how Britain should be runโฆ
Yet 24 hours after getting elected in Kirklees, they stand up in full council and admit:
โI donโt understand the Constitutionโฆ
I donโt understand standing ordersโฆ
I donโt understand what an amendment is.โ
Then they whine itโs โnot democraticโ they might vote on things they donโt understand
This is the terrifying danger of populist rage politics: loud online warriors with ZERO clue how to actually govern.
Handing real power to people who donโt even know where to start is how countries collapse.

All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & other leaders were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?
NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I think I have my answer and it is profoundly disturbing
To be clear: this is not racist. This is a nice man with a nice haircut, wearing nice glasses and a nice jacket. Only a fool or a liar would say that he's a genocidal maniac.
There is a mythology the U.S. built around the American War in Vietnam. It goes like this:
Young idealistic soldiers were sent into an unwinnable situation by confused politicians.
They came home broken and unappreciated.
It was a tragedy. A mistake. A lesson learned.
Notice what that story does.
It centers Americans.
Their trauma. Their confusion. Their homecoming. Their feelings.
In this story, the Vietnamese people are a backdrop.
A jungle. An obstacle. An abstraction.
Three million dead Vietnamese people are the scenery for a story about American self-discovery.
They made hundreds of movies about Vietnam.
The Deer Hunter. Apocalypse Now. Platoon. Full Metal Jacket. Born on the Fourth of July. Hamburger Hill.
Count how many of them center a Vietnamese character with a full human life, a family, a name you remember after the credits roll.
They turned our genocide into their coming-of-age story.
They lost the war and still managed to make themselves the main character.
And then, with extraordinary arrogance, they put their soldiers' names on a wall in Washington and call it a memorial, as if the dead to be mourned were the people who flew 10,000 miles to do the killing.
Where is the wall for our three million?
There isn't one.
Because in their telling, we were never quite real enough to mourn.
Israel executed paramedic Ali today in Bint Jbeil, South Lebanon โ dropping a bomb on his ambulance.
They killed him as he was carrying out rescue operations.
Israel is hunting and killing paramedic after paramedic in Lebanon.
And not a peep from the international community.
๐จ BREAKING
Spain breaks diplomatic ties with Israel. Madrid has just recalled its ambassador and is planning to close its embassy in Tel Aviv.
Israel condemned the move, calling it "highly antisemitic."
Antisemitism is hatred of Jews.
Criticizing Israel is not hatred of Jews.
Zionism is not Judaism.
Having murdered EVERY journalist in Gaza, and many of their families.
Having banned ANY international journalist from entering.
Having destroyed almost every structure in Gaza and even laughing as they blew up water treatment facilities and cancer wards.
Israel is now BANNING all aid agencies from operating there from tomorrow.
The last thread of charitable aid removed.
An evil beyond humanity.

@jdpoc@MimiVonPeach I suggested this many years ago. I called it the Federated Union of Celtic Kingdoms. My idea never took hold. I put it down to the acronym being unsuitable.
