🚨STARMER’S BLATANT HYPOCRISY EXPOSED! 🤔
Perfect example of Two-Tier Keir.
Video 1 (2020): Starmer viciously attacks Trump for his response to the rioters after George Floyd’s death, calling it an “affront to humanity” and defending the unrest as “peaceful protests” by people “rightly demanding justice”.
“Like you, I was shocked and angered by the killing of George Floyd. And the response of President Trump and US authorities to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity.”
Video 2 (Today): Starmer condemns the “disgraceful” rioters in the wake of Henry Nowak’s tragic murder and his shocking treatment by police.
“No matter the pain we feel, there is no justification for violence and disorder. Let me be clear, we will ensure anyone found engaging in disorder meets the full force of the law.”
Why the blatant double standard, Keir?
Either rioting is bad or it isn’t?
You’re “shocked and angered” and label Trump’s crackdown an “affront to humanity”… but now you’re cracking down hard when people “demand justice” after Henry Nowak.
Are you the “affront to humanity” for condemning these rioters?
Two-Tier Keir exposed for the world to see.
It is difficult for people who have not been targeted by a narcissist, psychopath to understand the extraordinary level of cruelty and sadism they engage in. Think of the actions of a serial killer but without the visible weapon & with the harm inflicted over time to one person.
@C_3C_3 Whites = LESS than 6-7% of global population now. We were most open-minded, civilised, advanced society & the most accepting of multicultural & multiracial societies. Ppl WANTED to live in our countries, so they integrated & assimilated & contributed to society. Til it changed.
I can’t lie, the comic relief needed for these dark times in what’s happening in the UK (or West in general) is the bins vs police memes on here. This is what the British are best at, taking the absolute piss as & whenever they can.
People will always leave their mark on this world. Some leave stories, some leave poetry, some leave art, some leave knowledge, some leave questions, some leave secrets, some leave hope. But SOME will just draw huge knobs on anything they find, that too represents who THEY were🤣
Around 1,950 years ago in Pompeii, a weaver named Successus fell in love with a barmaid named Iris.
She did not love him back.
We know this because his rival, a man named Severus, decided to humiliate him publicly. He grabbed something sharp and carved this into a wall for the whole city to read:
"Successus the weaver loves the innkeeper's slave girl named Iris. She does not care about him at all. But he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye."
Imagine walking to work and seeing that with your name on it.
Successus found it. And instead of letting it go, he carved his reply directly underneath:
"Envious one, why do you get in the way? Yield to a man who is better looking and being treated very unfairly."
Severus came back one more time to end it:
"I have spoken. I have written. You love Iris, but she does not love you."
Then, in 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted and buried the wall, the tavern, and the entire argument under 20 feet of ash. The thread was frozen mid-beef for almost two millennia until archaeologists dug it up and translated it.
We will never know who got the girl. We do not even know if any of the three survived.
Pompeii has over 11,000 of these inscriptions. Bar reviews. Bragging. Bad poetry. A bakery wall that says "Welcome, hungry people." Two guys fighting over a girl in the comments.
The technology changes. We do not.
read more books. read to escape reality. read to understand reality. read to challenge what you believe. read to think better. read to write better. read to argue better. read to know yourself. read to build something. a single book can completely rewire your brain.
On ne se rend jamais assez compte de l’impact positif que de belles choses peuvent avoir sur notre esprit.
La beauté inspire, apaise, envoûte.
Il est important de le rappeler quotidiennement et d’agir pour que le Beau reprenne une place centrale dans notre société.
Tout le monde a le droit au Beau.
@RupertLowe10 I can’t lie, you got me at taking down Blair! (Then do Starmer) Firstly reinstate the anti-treason laws because MANY politicians need to face prison time for treason, fraud, corruption, insider trading, alongside many other crimes. ALL should be held accountable. Call it justice!
I truly believe that the optimal way forward is embracing a Dark Age Mindset. This means:
- Embracing Decline as Opportunity. When the foundations of familiar institutions are shaken, it's a signal to us to stop investing so much effort and dependence on those things, and create new alternatives that actually serve us as people and communities.
-Cultivating Resilient Character and Faith. The folks who did this before were not weak, fragile, or wishy-washy. Get hard.
-Preserve and Transmit Knowledge. If institutions that have historically been responsible for this (looking at you, media and schools) are failing, then it's another opportunity for us to step into decentralized roles as stewards of cultural patrimony, preserving literacy, classical texts, and traditions and educating our own children with this heritage to ensure continuity in a potentially post-literate or tech-degraded world.
-Pursuing Self-Sufficiency and Simplicity. "Ora et labora" was the motto that drove that age forward and upward. But they showed us that simplicity needn't be minimalist or ugly; some of the most durable and beautiful things ever made came from these times.
-Reject Dooming and Be Proactive. No despair. Instead, simplify your processes, improve your skills, and meet your challenges vigorously.
-Foster Creativity in Adversity. Necessity is the mother of invention. But the human person is not merely mechanical; we need beauty, music, good stories, living rituals, significance... Cultivate these things especially in the face of monopolized artificiality.
-Focus on Local and Subsidiarist Action. Subsidiarity is handling matters at the smallest, most local level possible; create "schools for service" (as Benedict did) that prioritize family, home culture, nature, and education over distant, failing institutions. The more responsibility you take up over all the spheres of your living experience, the more you step into sovereignty.
As a kid, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, Poltergeist (which we all know was actually directed by Spielberg), were some of my favorite movies, but my absolute top tier favorites were sci fi/adventure stories like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Empire Strikes Back, Wrath of Khan, ET, Ghostbusters as well as victory parables like Rocky and Karate Kid, and all the John Hughes comedies. These films have down moments but what they end on is hope. That's a very important reason why I got into movies in the first place - those happy endings and the sense that the world is a good place. Indy lost the Ark but got the girl. Luke had his hand cut off but he shared hope with Leia and the droids. Kirk lost Spock but somehow life would flourish.
When I look back on the '80s, the lesson wasn't that the world was bleak like horror movies - struggle would happen, but everything would be ok. The greatest gift the movies gave me was optimism. Life is an adventure not a nightmare.
A creative mind will experience the most beautiful yet torturous levels of madness. The Art lies within that. Those who do not experience it can never understand it.
He was sent to a mental hospital three times and later became one of the world's top-selling authors. His most popular book has sold over 150 million copies and has been translated into more than 80 languages.
They tied him to a table and turned on the electricity. He was just a teenager whose only crime was wanting to be a writer instead of a lawyer. His panicked parents thought his creative mind was a sign of insanity and committed him to a psychiatric institution three times.
Yet, decades later, that same man sat down and wrote a book that would change the world in just fourteen days.
His name is Paulo Coelho, and his story proves that our harshest critics are often completely wrong about our future.
In 1988, Paulo poured his soul into a simple fable about a shepherd boy chasing a dream in the desert. He called it "The Alchemist." He knew it was special, but the publishing world didn't care.
The first publishing house to print the book watched it sit on the shelves gathering dust. Sales were so poor that they officially dropped it and gave him back the rights.
They told him the book was a complete failure. Anyone else would have given up right then. After all, the experts had spoken out. But Paulo had survived actual electroconvulsive therapy; he wasn't going to let a rejection letter stop him.
He firmly believed in the central message of his book, which states that when you want something, the universe conspires to help you.
He refused to give up. Paulo found a second publisher willing to give him a chance, and then something wonderful happened. It wasn't a resounding success due to a massive and expensive marketing campaign. The book grew slowly, almost whispering.
One person read it, felt a change in their heart, and passed it on to a friend. That friend passed it on to another.
Soon, that whisper turned into a roar.
The book traveled from the streets of Brazil to the entire world. Today, The Alchemist is one of the most successful books in human history. It has sold over 150 million copies and has been translated into more than 80 languages.
It sits on the desks of the most powerful world leaders and in the backpacks of penniless students.
If Paulo had listened to his parents, he would have spent his life as an unhappy lawyer. If he had listened to his first publisher, his masterpiece would have been lost forever. Instead, he chose to trust his inner voice.
He showed the world that the only true failure in life is refusing to begin the journey, or giving up the moment someone says no.
Your current difficulties are not a punishment. They are simply preparation for the wonderful things that await you along the way.
Keep moving forward, because the world is waiting for your story.
