Update: I've been kicked out of the group for 'political comments'

...but the irony levels keep rising because the admin that kicked me out has a Maccabi Tel Aviv badge for a profile pic 🤣

Someone keeps posting about the dangers of fireworks and how cruel it is on innocent pets.

I keep pointing out the cruelty of bombing civilians...because of course they have a 'i stand by' a genocidal state as their profile pic

...I keep thinking it must be satire

"We can't have a wealth tax, all the billionaires will leave!!!"

How about we ask Roman Abramovich how that worked out?

Spoiler: Badly

It is! And to be fair it ended with the guy saying I made some good points and he'll have to think about a wealth tax more

You're right, definitely not.

I need to find something more worthwhile to do at work than argue on social media 🤣

Next stop: Daily Mail and Telegraph declaring Polanski “the most dangerous man in Britain.” The script writes itself.

Clan Communist @clancommunist.bsky.social · 13d

Polanski’s Greens are rising fast. Soon the headlines will go from “idealists” to “dangerous radicals.” Labour and Reform will drop the boats and start preaching about the perils of socialism.

We already saw this with Sanders in 2016 and 2020.

The Democrats crushed their own base harder than the GOP ever could.

الكسندرا ميراي @lexialex.bsky.social · 27d

A Mamdani type candidate would win the next US election in a landslide, but the Democrats will work harder to prevent that than the Republicans. That's the sad truth.

Fascist aesthetics aren’t just history, they creep into everyday life unless we expose them.

The right never invents anything new. This is straight from the old playbook: fascists have always spread bizarre stories about minorities to stir up disgust.

The goal is always the same distract from real problems, dehumanize a group, and make cruelty seem justified.

Politico: Greater Lincs Mayor Andrea Jenkyns "told Sky there was a 'serious issue' with ducks being eaten when she was a Boston councilor (despite the Royal Parks debunking Farage’s claims about swan theft)"

Swan & duck conspiracy theories seem to be becoming a main plank of Reform's belief system

Yeah SNP X2 doesn't work. I at least think the electorate is becoming aware of this fact

Clan Communist @clancommunist.bsky.social · 28d

Great researching!

To be honest I think we have to avoid all parties that are governed from London.

Realistically I think our options are SNP and SGP. I don't even know what Alba are doing these days

Exactly, that's the facade of bourgeois democracy. They all bow down to money and their backers.

I keep telling people that they aren't trying to get re-elected.

They are trying to push their donors agenda and feather their own nests for when they leave politics.

But no one seems to believe me? 🤷‍♀️

Labour announces ID cards are back. Because when your popularity’s in the gutter, why not try resurrecting your mid-2000s nostalgia hits?

It seems like every time they are on a downward spiral out of government they resurrect this policy idea 🙄

Exactly! Sylvia fought for all women.

The others? Proto-fascists who prioritized middle-class interests. Who were also incidentally admirers of Mussolini.

On this day remembering Sylvia Pankhurst, suffragette, socialist, and anti-fascist.

Labour’s obsession with ID cards continues… It won’t stop illegal working. You already need an NI number for that.

This is like a reboot of a movie that's been stuck in development hell for the last 20 years

Washington backing plan for Tony Blair to head transitional Gaza authority

Proposal for international body to oversee Gaza for up to five years counters UN-backed plan for faster transition to Palestinian rule The White House is backing a plan under which the former British prime minister Tony Blair would head a temporary administration of the Gaza Strip, initially without the direct involvement of the Palestinian Authority (PA), according to reports in the Israeli media. Under the proposal, Blair would head a body called the Gaza International Transitional Authority, Gita, which would have a mandate to be Gaza’s “supreme political and legal authority” for as long as five years.
