I mean, they've been fumbling ever since they suspended Corbyn for his interview about the EHRC report. It's just now finally catching up to them due to people realising that people were onto something by calling them "Red Tories."

I've been obsessively listening to Tabloid Junkie by Michael Jackson too much these days. He had plenty of great songs in the Dangerous and History albums that I had never heard of, and the History club mix is just peak rave/workout material.

It's time for liberals to start voting with their wallets. Not that it matters because their wallets are at least 6 orders of magnitude smaller than the ones who will actually invest in Ukraine.

Investments in the 21st century be like: 📉📈

Yeah, they are mostly just yet another successful socdem anti-imperialist-ish party. They usually don't do much overwhelmingly great, but at least prevent it all going to shit with liberal electoralism and put some effort into building local industry and infrastructure. They have also put a lot of interest into international multipolar goals such as cooperation with Cuba and China so even if I disagree a lot with the "most progressive" label, they are definitely one of the most impactful groups just due to the sheer size of the party and country. Almost makes you believe that social-democracy is effective.

This is actually from a strange article made by the Telegraph in October last year that went "viral" in similar lib tabloids to try and play both sides of dunking on the activists. Getty is a co-founder to the CEF which donates to a bunch climate activist groups including XR and JSO, but was singled out by tabloids as the sole source of income for the groups. I haven't found much to either confirm or dispute her claims in never engaging in oil herself, but it does seem like a usual billionaire philanthropy grift.

But I wouldn't throw the whole movement out just because some billionaire is donating to it. It sounds a bit like a "yet you live in society, curious." At the end of the day it is a lib org through and through, we shouldn't expect any different. If ssome people think activists "look bad" because they blocked a road or threw soup at a protective glass with a painting behind it, I don't want to see what they'll think of riots.

Frankly they're too mild. That doesn't mean I don't support them, but I think they could do with some actually disruptive protest tactics. It's hard to do any "annoying protests" in Britain without being arrested though. Though, don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

No he isn't? Brand isn't even from the United States.

Edit: although, I do not know much more about USA electoralism. Feel free to explain to me what is so problematic about this campaign, specially compared to the other 2 parties.

Care to explain the "another iteration of the problem"? Abolishing slavery ends slavery, abolishing serfdom ends serfdom, abolishing rent ends rent. The Venezuelan case is an example of the latter. You asked how to change the social structure, here's a tried and true method that has worked from Russia to China to Vietnam to Cuba. You're free to present your own with better track records.

Sounds authoritarian.

This is an example of the theory that Megatron writes: https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/3/36/Towards_Peace.jpg

That's the most based thing I've ever seen a car say. Meanwhile Optimus Prime cooperates with the USA military.

Muito importante! Não tenho epilepsia mas assistindo o Incríveis 2 fiquei com uma dor de cabeça gigante por causa daquela cena da hipnose e não achei nenhum aviso sobre isso antes também. Os cinemas estão muito descuidados com coisas assim.

P.S.: tem como mudar o título de thread pelo mastodon? Do jeito que tá fica dificil de saber de relance o que é o post.

I have the exact opposite "problem" where I have a lot of completely mundane and realistic dreams, which introduce a lot of very believable but completely false memories that I have to watch out for. Sometimes they even have shitty Newscorp articles of their own. Back when I could binge on games for 10+ hours straight I would also have these very disorienting dreams where I "was" the strategy (or otherwise abstract and non-human) game mechanic or something and then would wake up not remembering how to use my legs and arms or sometimes even breath properly. Brains are fun!
