Software engineer with a masters in maths and physics, born and raised in the UK. I consider myself far left when it comes to politics. Post-Corbyn Labour is centrist at best and has massive authoritarian tendencies. History has shown Tories and Labour have always been racist and against uniting the working people. Democrats and Labour voted against sanctions against South Africa when the UN was trying to punish SA for apartheid. Pro-Palestine (I blame Zionism, Imperialism and the Israeli state + those who support them, not Judaism nor the Israeli people) a secular one state solution is possible especially in comparison to Israel’s attempts at a religious ethnostate Feel free to DM me for a discussion of comment characters aren’t enough Always source your shit Interests include: - geopolitics - history - human rights - anti-imperialism - colonialism - racism - hip hop - technology - science - nerd culture
She could be a mum, she might’ve paid others to incubate the children or adopted but she’s a mum. If she had then herself, I want tips for my wife!
She is very friendly and you can have a good chat with her. She’s got her head screwed on
That’s Tilly Lockey. I’ve worked with her at my institute recently as we work with prosthetics and neurotechnology.
Thankfully the other social media have much more insufferable people (looking at twitter). Otherwise this place would be more dead than it already is.
BTW, if you’re planning on muting me after your reply (your sort often do), understand that I won’t be able to read it once you mute so save yourself some time.
The conviction to tell others how to act from an anonymous profile. The courage to shut down most of the talks about genocide, excessive deportations and police brutality because it was election season. Principled stances only occur on here when the circle jerk already accepts it. Look back far enough and you’ll see how talks of Palestine, Black rights and other issues were shut down before they become popular. Imgurians are barely any better than redditors and are slightly less insufferable.
AOC has changed her initial tune. I stand corrected on that. Sanders still refuses to call it a genocide https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-wont-u.s.-politicians-say-genocide
Why weren’t you guys calling for people to join the cops during BLM? Maybe we should all volunteer for Putin and the IDF whilst we’re at it. Changing the system from within really works, just look at AOC and Bernie who can’t call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide. And Bernie got fucked by his own party back in ‘16
The growing a spine part is ironic when the best you come up with is “join the people dragging immigrants from their homes” and checks out with the deporters in chief you yanks love having at the helm
I’m pointing out that it will be temporary. It isn’t whataboutism to point out the hypocrisy. I even said they’d do shit during current Shitler. It’s not my country and not my problem. You guys made your own mess and your dear leaders ran so that Shitler could fly.
#2 meh, I graduated my masters in Maths and Physics back in 2017. ChatGPT and co still have nothing on Wolfram Alpha
You should do the same with the Republican Party too. Join them and change them from the inside, it’s a great plan…
Let’s face it, they will only do badly at the job whilst the republicans are in charge and excel at it if their party comes back. The dem voters didn’t give a shit about Obama’s deportations or Biden’s and will make up some excuse of why it’s required.
2023 wa probably the highest kill count of Israeli civilians by IDF in decades as well. But pro-genocide folk don’t like to talk about the Hannibal directive that even Israeli news sources admit to
I never said it wasn’t. Not in the timeframe I stated but yes, after October 7. The number of Israeli civilians killed that never served in the IDF pails in comparison to the number of Palestinians civilians (non Hamas) killed in 2023 before October 7th though if we are being honest. What percentage of those killed on October 7th were current or former IDF?
So being an apartheid state wasn’t a line too far or you just didn’t know about it? Israel was still murdering children before the Gaza invasion, just at a smaller scale. 2023 was the highest death toll for Palestinians in decades before Oct 7th even happened
Not really, they were still an apartheid settler colonial terrorist state committing regular war crimes, illegally moving settlers into occupied territory and ethnically cleansing Palestinians.
The only difference is that westerners are starting to pay attention because the current genocide is too far.
I’m more bothered about her praising the terrorist state of Israel. She is weird on the animal rights though and called Israel a “very vegan country” whatever the fuck that means. Personally I think their child murdering, occupation, torture of Palestinians and war crimes outweigh any vegan stuff they do. This was in 2018 and people still called her out for supporting a child murdering state at the time
A mint press news post here on Imgur? I guess there are some people of culture on here
Nope, this is the wokeness that the gammons warned us about… /s
It was incredibly efficient at stripping your government of needed services. Saving money was never an aim
And yet their people are more represented than the US people, they have a bigger say on the policies and their gov serves their people whereas us serves the rich and Israel. You vote for the party in US whereas you vote for the policy in China. Ironically, even though it IS a one party state, there are more parties represented in the Chinese People’s Congress than US’s Congress. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress">ress">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress

It depends on how deep you look. Hindu schools both embrace and reject nothingness. Similar with Buddhist schools of thought.Jean Paul Satre was terrified of the void and Hegel saw it as the precursor to becoming. Contrary to popular interpretation, Nietzsche embraced the nothing and saw it as a prerequisite to becoming more.Interestingly a lot of ancient societies embraced the nothing like the Mayans, Egyptians,Jewish Kabbalah and the aboriginees. I find all the views quite cool and interesting
Imagine if Corbyn wasn’t backstabbed by his party and taken down by the media. He was a politician that makes Sanders look right wing and Biden look far right. Instead we got May, Truss, Johnson and Sunak playing musical chairs until Sir Kid Starver took over and started trying to freeze the old
The tweet is from 2022. Unrelated to the tweet, UK did have the highest electricity prices in the latter half of 2023 though https://www.nesta.org.uk/blog/uk-household-electricity-prices-rose-to-levels-higher-than-those-in-any-eu-country/
2022. Which kinda checks out. Although not fully correct still. UK had the highest energy prices in the latter half of 2023
That’s wrong. It’s from August 2022 https://x.com/David__Osland/status/1556966045021347840 if you click on his profile you won’t see a tweet from past 2023. I don’t know how you got your massively wrong date
Britain is the US of Europe
Transport is a rip off and owned by foreign governments that subsidise their train tickets with the profits of ours. I’m glad you’re having a good time, most of the country isn’t.
The working class and lower middle class have had it bad in the UK for a while. Council estates are overcrowded, the NHS is underfunded and education is in a shit state. It might be fine for you in your ivory tower but people are struggling to pay rent and even heat their homes in winter. Kids go to school starving and depend on the free meals there. Drug addiction and domestic abuse are on the rise, as is homelessness. Libraries are being closed in the areas that need them most. Public/
I’ll add this list as well, it’s the usual suspects that won’t accept Palestinian statehood and a few extra cunts abstaining https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-countries-voted-give-palestine-un-power-1899399
It’s surprising that Ukraine didn’t vote for Palestinian statehood but I guess genocide Joe linked their aid to being a US puppet in the UN
