It's vaguely comforting that Trump probably realises as he hopefully enters his last few months that, if the Christians are right, he'll be going to hell for eternity

If MAGA types are Christians and God depends on them for saving, it's a great advert for atheism

When (not if) Trump becomes almost as reviled by history as Hitler, giving him the Nobel Peace Prize will stain that award for all time and likely the entire Nobel award system itself

Impose ridiculous, ever-changing tariffs (against all sound economic advice); screw up all your markets; people you trade with say fuck you; and they're the ones being hostile? And your answer then is to threaten to fuck things up some more for yourself and them? Why hasn't Trump been removed yet?

And will Israel be forced violently to disarm its genocidal military too or is that different?

Personally I don't understand anyone who's Scottish not voting for the self-determination and independence of their country from a Brexity, bigoted and potentially full-fascist so-called UK (basically England)

So the thousands of Palestinians (many kid) abducted and tortured by Israelis aren't hostages? They don't count? But then what's new? It's as if one side are barely considered human and fit only to be dispossessed and genocided. Wonder when this sort of thing happened before

What were these two-thirds of Labour manifesto pledges? Ape Reform and aid genocide? What's the other one?

Some of these countries, especially the UK, need their own No Kings demonstrations. This is the 21st century FFS and there are still actual hereditary kings, in the UK's case raking in zillions tax free and harboring a pedophile

Conflating pandering to an authoritarian leader (especially a criminal) and patriotism is fascism 101

Neckgina. For when you're fucked in the head

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 10h

And you don't murder innocent people, men, women and children, by the tens of thousands and wipe out all their hospitals, schools and homes, because some of their compatriots commit acts in resistance of occupation. That's called genocide

Not sure Zia Yusuf (beautiful British name) will be in a position to stop anything once UK ICE have carted him off for walking about while brown

Making Brexshit work and aping Reform weren't good ideas then?

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 18h

Making Brexshit work isn't working then? And spending over a year in office bashing the poor, aping Reform and aiding genocide doesn't seem to have done the trick either. Oh well, maybe the UK can try MAGA-style fascism under Farage next

Why is it only about Israeli hostages and not the many thousands of Palestinians (including kids) the Israelis habitually abduct and torture, not to mention genocide, for the temerity of resisting occupation and oppression (which is their right under international law)?

Trump gives fascism a bad name (and smell)

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 21h

Shouldn't forget that Palestinians are also an indigenous people who've been genocided and dispossed of their lands

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 1d

So has the Gazan division of the Palestinian army stopped bombing the shit out of Israel and genociding countless thousands of civilians then?

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 1d

20 hostages, 148 hostages, genocide of 70,000 civilians, who's counting?

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 1d

Meloni looks like she's questioning her fascist life choices if this is what it means

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 1d

So no mention of genocide then, or the brutal decimation of Palestinians and their homeland by Israel that has been ongoing for over 70 years? Because, I don't know, maybe the Israelis look more European or something, while the Palestinians are more brown and Muslim and easier to dehumanise

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 1d

Meloni keeps drawing the short straw of being next to Trump. Given that women (even fascist ones) have a more acute sense of smell, that must be an especially nauseating experience. Starmer though is unfazed, being used to licking Trump's arse to mitigate tariffs that Brexit-ravaged UK can't afford
