  • Why personal climate action matters – according to experts

    Jump

  • Well done, that's exactly what those actually responsible and who are causing all the damage, and making all the money, want you to think. It's worse than useless, it's actively counterproductive, and serves to keep people busy with superficial nonsense that will never make a dent, while they continue to pillage all the resources.

    At best, the person who wrote this demonstrates a vast misunderstanding of the scale of the problem, and either way, their piece serves those in power, not the cause against them.

    Thanks for the added info, it sucks to know but isn't surprising, but nowhere do I (or anyone else I can see E: aside from the single mention in the AP post that OP is commenting on, obviously) give props or even mention greyhound.

  • As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories?

    It isn't, just like we said it wouldn't be before the election, when the cultists refused to listen.

    Keith and his cronies are nothing but establishment serving placeholders and future scapegoats for the right to blame for all the ills of society and come back in stronger and more fascist than ever. And when that happens, the cultists will act all surprised and bewildered again because they simply refuse to hear anything that contradicts their deep indoctrination in to passive compliance with the rules.

    As for

    There may be no nasty impulse to punish ‘skivers’

    If you genuinely believe that, you're not been paying any attention, or are completely oblivious to the masses of ableist and classist dog whistles they've been using all along.

    Is it really a wonder why we get so much more frustrated with liberals who insist on playing along and cooperating with the system, insisting they care about society and its most vulnerable (to stroke their own egos) while refusing to listen to our warnings (again, to stroke their own egos, after all, they still see us as beneath them), than we are with those who are at least honest about throwing us under the bus? Once again MLK's quote about white moderates being a bigger barrier to equity than the KKK are proves its depressing accuracy.

  • You do realise that many people (significantly more since covid in fact) are on benefits because we can't work, right? And it's those benefits (disability, employment support) that are getting the worst cuts.

    So you're not technically wrong, but your solution also doesn't help those of us most targeted.

  • Pretending not to pick a side IS picking a side

    Jump

  • No, you bootlickers can repeat the same bullshit party lines and shove your heads up your ass as far as you please to maintain your personal comfort and shield yourself from reality (and from those actually responsible for and who benefit from fascism, which you miraculously never confront or even hold accountable, and are freely willing to compromise with give in to), but that doesn't change it - participating in an oppressive system, and voting for one of either oppressive parties designated to you by those benefiting from that system to placate you with an illusion of choice is literally the opposite of protesting said system (E: never even mind that the idea that you can vote fascism away is beyond ignorant and laughable in its own right, it's demonstrably wrong)

    TL;DR: your vote didn't protest shit, it was manufactured consent for the status quo, get off your fucking high horse

  • Explaining capitalism to aliens

    Jump

  • We have confused many an alien..

  • Instead of punching nazis..

    Jump

  • If you decide to call Nazis centrists, or vice-versa, you’re just alienating people.

    Good.

    Now if only you fuckers could take a hint and actually fuck off, instead of pipping up in every post that actually opposes nazis to whine about how mean leftists are and to defend nazi feelings which you consistently and unflinchingly prioritise over the lives of the marginalised people they're currently rounding up.

    I’m constantly amazed at how far people have managed to shove their heads up their own asses on this site.

    Yeah, you nazi supporters really are astoundingly oblivious...

  • So... Don't protest* evil. Got it. 🙄

    (*on a more serious note, you having a narrow and wilfully ignorant view of what protesting actually means doesn't change the fact that not protesting evil makes you complicit with it)

    And all with an overinflated and unearned sense of self righteousness to replace the deep sense of irony, and shame, they should be feeling.

  • There is, to those whose strategy is to give themselves a pat on the back for doing the barest of bare minimum and successfully maintaining the status quo, rather than doing anything actually useful to oppose fascism (or the capitalism that will always decay in to it), or in the words of MLK himself those "more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice" - it gives them a dopamine hit and an ego boost so potent they seem able to ride on the smell of their own farts for 4 years at a time while doing fuck all else to change society for the better (for anyone but themselves, that is) because they've already "done their part", and is seemingly all they need to convince themsleves they're the brave hero-saviours of humanity, rather than the enablers of fascism they actually are.

    It's precisely why the second cult exists - to provide an illusion of choice (E: and of impact), and make "the left" (I can't even type that without cracking up, but part of the cult is being convinced they are "the left") feel like they're fighting the establishment, when in reality, they're holding it up just as much as the other cult is, some might argue, even more, because they'll turn on those actually opposing fascism long before they'll dare be rude to fascists.

  • Critics argue that the agency’s work with a lobbying group is a conflict of interest.

    Then these critics don't understand the relationship between state and capitalism, because it is in fact serves both parties interests quite well, by design.

    The state doesn't exist for the benefit of society.
