14·2 days agoThey really don’t see how their calling everyone an antisemite for opposing their genocide puts Jews outside Israel at risk
That’s their aim. It will then force those outside Israel to flee there as the only “sanctuary” safe for them, despite the numbers of Israelis bolting from the country and applying for citizenship elsewhere hitting new highs.
Also largest owner of arable farmland in the US

It smacks of “we’ll get him to lean more left after the election!”
One of the comments on the video sums it up well:
“Kal-el no!” is up there with “I did not hit her” from The Room
As they say
Reduce, reuse, recycle!
When the killer of Yoshihiro Hattori was acquitted back in the early 90s, spectators cheered
The US is cooked.
It has been for quite a while.
It needs a completely new political system, full stop.
Absolutely!
The propaganda is so deep that it may take decades more deterioration before we even get to that point.
Nope. Just getting people to wake up from the dream state is not enough to facilitate change.
To get a new political system, the framework of a new one has to be ready to replace it. You cannot just stop capitalism and expect everyone to reach enlightenment and go forth into the future. You’ll just have collapse and the rise of warlords as seen in every country that the US has destabilised beyond a certain point.
As for seeing through the propaganda, all it takes is instability, a removed (<- they removed a word that is also seen as a slur for Chinese people but the my usage was “a small cleft, slit, or fissure”) in the armour of the establishment, for it all to come tumbling down and we are currently in a moment of instability.
Trumps regime is not fully in control, they are running around making contingency plans because the orange emperors health is failing and the daily revelations of things like Epstein emails is chipping away at the facade. Even republicans are calling for the full release of the files!
The party is not a united body.
The grass roots support is unstable as people can see that none of his promises have materialised: Prices are higher, so is unemployment, the economy is in recession and despite his blathering, nothing is trickling down to those red cap wearing poor folk but corporate profits are at a record high!
People can’t live on vapours and they’ll soon come down from the high.
ai can be good as long as you don’t let it think for you
Unfortunately, there’s too many people already doing that, with not so clever results!
If it increases accessibility for those with additional requirements then great but we know that’s not even in its top 10 reasons for being implemented
7·22 days agoIt’s beyond that. It’s surveillance software
Every Israeli is now a legitimate target
30·23 days agoYou forgot the Bill “now the largest owner of arable land in the US” Gates
The EU left are all neoliberals.
We can see it clearly in the UK. Labour, who are historically the political arm of the unions, have been indulging in anti-immigration rhetoric that is indistinguishable from the far right.
It’s easier to see that they are deliberate controlled opposition rather than former lefties that have been red scared into being centrists
One place I worked, a senior exec has in his email signature words to the effect of…
I work odd hours so if you receive this email out of office hours, I do not expect a reply until you’re next in the office

There wasn’t that much to criticize about Israel during his lifetime.
That shows an almost childlike ignorance about Israel and that it was known even before its existence that it was an apartheid settler colonial project.
So why was Malcolm X, a contemporary of MLK, an anti-zionist and saw Israel for what it was?

Outside of Australia, helmets are not mandatory and data from there shows it has had a negative effect on not only the numbers of cyclists, reducing “safety in numbers” but also an increase in children with head injuries, because drivers are less risk adverse (“Mary Poppins effect” - drivers give more space & make less dangerous passes around cyclists in everyday clothing).
The most simple solution to increasing cyclist (and pedestrian) safety is to build better infrastructure. Design roads so that vehicles have to slow for junctions and roundabouts, especially where there’s mixed modal traffic. Prioritise active and public transport over inactive modes. Make cycle, walking & bus routes more direct and make driving routes more circuitous. Discourage driving into town centres and stop building out of town retail parks.
Back to the topic in hand:
If anyone wants to claim that “helmets save lives” then why aren’t they advocating them for vehicle passengers, who experience greater numbers and severity of head injuries than cyclists, or for pedestrians who have about the same number, possibly slightly more than cyclists?
