the main fucking demand is charges and a trial ! you know, those basic tenets of the criminal justice system, even according to its own norms and values!
Counterpoint: four of the hunger strikers' five demands (a) relate to their treatment by the criminal justice system and (b) would be easy to grant. Granting demands 1-4 would give both govt and strikers an easy 'out'. If the govt aren't doing it it's because the current situation is what they want.
The demands of the Hunger strikers *are* pretty unrealistic, but this government straight up does not have the public trust to not be damaged by a hunger striker dying on their watch, and the refusal to negotiate is yet another example of their self-defeating desire to look tough above all else.

I'm too under the weather to make it to 2000 followers on this website all by myself, so here's a picture of my copy of Carol Vorderman's Sudoku for the PlayStation Portable.
Surely that should be enough for about 5 to 10 more people to feel secure that following me is Worth It.

what is the centrist obsession with insisting we're all richer than in the 60s lol. & how is this gonna save liberal democracy exactly
also whats the special brain compartment that enables them all to ignore the price of an house as a multiple of average incomes (whichever average you use) or

Americans in their 20s and 30s may not feel that they’re richer than their equivalents 60 years ago, but they’re objectively wrong.
It’s fascinating how important it is to some people not to say “I’m struggling, it’s hard” or “I need help”—objectively true—but to instead insist they have it worse.

Huh weird that now liberals are desperate for an Edward Snowden or Chelsea Manning or Reality Winner to leak the unredacted Epstein Files.
Perhaps if they hadn't lined up with the establishment in demanding maximum repression of whistleblowers back then, leakers would be more forthcoming.

As much as CBS will have zero viewers for a while, don't underestimate how much fashy billionaires can just keep failing it till they make it by just shitehousing their product repeatedly. Worked for GBNews which was at zero viewers for ages and now is front loaded on news search results.
