If I'd been blackmailed and/or bribed into enabling an ongoing genocide in such a public way, I'd probably be drinking a lot too

Hoyle is a shithead for plenty of reasons, but he's not enabling genocide. Israel is carrying out the genocide and they don't care what a bunch of entitled cunts in Westminster says about it.

kingturnip posted:Hoyle is a shithead for plenty of reasons, but he's not enabling genocide. Hard disagree. We are using our RAF and Navy to help enable the genocide. We are using our political power as a permanent member of the security council to block UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire. We are selling a ridiculous amount of weaponry and targeting systems that are currently killing civilians trapped in the world's largest concentration camp. We had a chance to set a political stance that could then spread into arms embargos, the withdrawal of our own military from enabling the genocide and to use our international political power to call for a ceasefire. Hoyle purposefully enabled diluting the SNPs message, omitting stuff about collective action etc. Israel will carry on the genocide while it has Western backing and aid. As soon as that stops, the genocide will stop. Ergo: Hoyle helped enable the genocide. Genocide enabling is a collective action. He's not solely responsible for the genocide or our part in it.

This is exactly why I don't give a poo poo about Keir Starmer's opinions on Israel/Palestine. It's not that I don't care about the people stuck in Gaza, it's that if Keith says "Israel should be allowed to cut off the water" then we know he's lying as a human rights barrister and everyone also thinks he's a oval office, and if he says "Labour will create a new state of Palestine" while u-turning then we know he's lying as a u-turning poo poo and everyone also thinks he's a oval office. It's the exact same poo poo as when he said "BLM are Marxists who want to abolish the police" one day, echoing a KKK conspiracy flyer, and then after pissing everyone off did the most unconvincing taking of the knee far away from any protesters, pissing everyone off. If would even be preferable if he gave a nothingburger answer and segued into some solid domestic economic policy, but he has none of those either.

Bobby Deluxe posted:No, my uncle works at the UN and they definitely print their agendas on poo poo copier paper in draft quality. One of my biggest bugbears is the whole subtle propaganda machine behind the simple phrase "property ladder". I've literally lost friends on FB over criticising use of this phrase as in "who says it has to be a ladder" etc (and of course none of my American friends have a clue what it means so they jump in with their criticisms of me criticising it too). Tesseraction posted:I heard about both but only via discord. There's some decent coverage of it on blue sky as well. One of the Palestinian journalists I follow posted it - and a photo but couldn't see much only the flames and a figure in them - on FB who have currently threatened him with a ban for who knows what reason.* (I mean I pretty much know why!)

It's because you're supposed to buy a starter home, pay it off, start a family and sell your starter to put money down on a bigger house, so the next couple along can afford your previous home while you get more space. Narrator: This has never been how it actually worked.

Private Speech posted:Conspiracy theorists must be genuinely severely mentally ill, I have no idea how you can look at that list and go "yes this sounds legit", regardless of whatever political opinions you might have. A Good post I saved in my notes a while back that was a lightbulb moment for how it works: 'supermechagodzilla" posted:
I have a friend (currently in the deteriorating, "occasionally check in with him out of concern but mostly try not to get involved" stage of the friendship, due to his drug habits, erratic behaviour and this kind of poo poo) whose deep into basically every kind of conspiracy theory up to and including flat earth, and the way to understand it is indeed not as a sincere belief in anything, but as a kind of anti-belief in whatever is presented to him. The actual idea itself of being a flat earther is only ever a placeholder for the general belief that 'something is wrong with the world and SOMEONE is lying", with a side of 'lol who gives a poo poo anyway it doesn't affect me" and can equally be exchanged with any other belief at any given moment. massive spider fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Feb 26, 2024 |

And then everyone attacks you once you are an 'empty nester' because you can't downsize because (a) suitable properties to downsize to don't exist bearing mobility & other issues in mind - flats in high rise blocks are not suitable for wobbly oldies, let alone the potentially humungous service charges you can get (she says looking at all the leaks from the roof in our block that are going to cost a fortune to fix) and (b) stamp duty would probably gobble up a considerable portion of any sale proceeds (especially when the value of properties incurring stamp duty drops again soon) and (c) you're getting on in years, you've lived in that house for decades and built up a support network that you probably need more when you're elderly.

Didn't realize that self-immoliation guy was in the USAF The last walk of Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old member of the US Air Force who self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy in Washington in protest against US involvement in Israel's genocide in Gaza. https://x.com/Lowkey0nline/status/1762018555900359005?s=20 Spoilered tweet because of video.

Our own RAF aircraft and personnel have also been flying multiple sorties over Gaza to give up to date visuals on which home, hospital, school or family to target. But we've been supplying so much of the infrastructure to keep the genocide ongoing. https://www.declassifieduk.org/uk-admits-nine-israeli-military-planes-have-visited-britain-since-gaza-bombing-began/ quote:The MoD also admitted on Tuesday that it has flown close to 50 RAF operated aircraft to Israel since it began bombing Gaza.

(I read this sentence a few times and it sounds like I'm being a smug rhetorical guy but I'm not.) obviously discounting the obvious we won’t do anything, yeah parliament could do something with legislation (eg libya) and could ride roughshod over any international agreements because national security interest trumps the courts could grant shapps do something? probably quite a lot if he had a supportive attorney general to find some precedent, but i think that the reality it that everyone just wants to wring their hands and pretend they’re “concerned “ and let things play out to their ultimate conclusion

I’m absolutely bowled over by Aaron Bushnell. What an incredible level of moral fortitude and courage. The video is horrible but if you think you can hack it I’d recommend watching it. He did what he did to be seen and he deserves that at least, and it’s a sobering reminder of the good that exists in the world. If there’s an afterlife I hope he’s given the highest seat in it. Rest in Power.
