My. Oh. My. 👏👏🔥🔥

Way to skewer these absolute turd muffins, they literally have screwed up how people act towards minorities (emphasis on that), the rhetoric is so anti-reality, yet these clowns continue yapping nonsense every single day, seriously, fukk em'

Fake teeth are hilarious, gonna get some laughs out of those.

Starting to get a bit more inventive i guess, if the world needs more of something, it's laughs. More against the backdrop of constant chaos. So i do hope it may create a few smiles.

Decided i'd do something really silly while checking this game world out, was checking it out with some buds last night, its crazy being able to jump into a 3D environment like this and explore a full fat version of these maps, takes me right on back to where it all began :)

What would it be like if the biggest charva in the north east of UK, trained in how to be the ultimate gangsta by the Geordie Gabber Mafia plays Doom in VRChat 🤣

I hope this is the beginning of the counterattack versus Reform. We've avoided this subject for far too long. Should never have became the hot potato it was, but well, that's just how it was.

Farage's insistence on destruction of this country is where it is. Time to hold up the mirror imho

I'm always taken aback by how it is that the Brexit cult has caused this disconnect between what lies and the truth are. It really is what this is about and where we are.

To state that Brexit is great and that it was a good idea is objectively the lie, opposite is the truth. Spot on!

If enough were to just stop interacting with the economy, if enough were to rebel at work until something is done about the problems that capitalism inflicted on us, i.e. "living with covid" & extortion through private taxes, "inflation/cost of living hikes".

It would force them to think.

Martandelus (Cheez) @martandelus.bsky.social · 1d

The reason our living standards continue to fall, is because we just grumble and carry on. Since 2008, it's gotten worse and worse.

True, this was the Tories. But if labour aren't going to put their foot down, then we should. The feeding frenzy needs to stop somewhere.

What i'd like to see here is coordination from the unions in response to the banks passing the buck, if they don't take a hit, general strike time.

That'd shut them up, it's about time the rich got squeezed, they've got the money to sort things out, we ain't and life is far too expensive now.

UK banks oppose tax rise.

Falsely claim to be paying 46.4% tax rate.

The PwC generated number includes PAYE, employee national insurance which is paid by workers. VAT which is borne by customers.

it is extrapolated from a sample, can't be verified

Why do media reports not expose this sham claim?

it's markedly harder to aim and coordinate movements, way better than the ole' Wiimotes felt, if anyone remembers em' way more responsive. The level of detail in these is impressive, been checking out all sorts and have a couple of absolute corkers to get captured. Amazing stuff.

Well, this was interesting, i not only managed to record the right side, my dominant eye, but found that it changes the perspective completely when capturing gameplay of FPS shooters using the Quest 3, I seem to have gotten the knack.

Ey, Happy 5th Cyber-Birthday, god damn, how the time flies though.

I didn't catcha earlier stuff because i never even entertained social media sites much prior to lockdown. Was boredom in the end that even found me on Xitter pre-musk. Those times were fucked up in their own way.

It was on this day, in 2020 that I first downloaded TT. The rest is history.

I’ll be live at 7:30pm celebrating five long years of roasting right wing prick, upperclassholes and flag shaggers 🎉

It’s been emotional. But, like Elton, I’m still standing.

Personally, i'm not against getting a nice union jack neon for my wall, after all, i don't see the national flag as a symbol of shame or hate, but pride.

We fought the fascists and won, shoulder-to-shoulder we stood as brothers and sisters. Those lessons are fundamental to what legacy we were left

Martandelus (Cheez) @martandelus.bsky.social · 4d

This is so much on-point, the majority of these overzealous RE'ers just see an opportunity to enrich themselves, hence the bandwagonning.

Its all so bogus, those flags are not the property of the knuckle-draggers, they are all of ours, good on this guy for saying it loud and clear. 👏👏

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

This is a nice example of positive messaging. Instead of treating migration as a "problem to be solved" or something similar, it should be about the benefits of migration for sure.

Labour governments from the UK to AUS are struggling to dispel the hate because they lack the positivity 👍

Anything they attack as "woke" or whatever the buzzword is on that given day, is always about the protection of the bully or ingroup at the expense of the chosen outgroup.

He really is showing us who he is and we know what to do when somebody does that. Believe it. He is a nasty piece of work.

Straight for education institutions with the express purpose of dumbing down the population. Fascists like him or Dump are all the same. They don't value an educated population, they just want mindless drones that swallow every word they say and just want people barely educated enough to slave on.
