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.

Voting (and in any other way participating) in an oppressive system (E: and for an oppressive party, either way) is literally the opposite of protesting it.

Welcome to the point lmao

I have never seen addressed…

Because you’ve never actually looked in good faith and without your glaring bias.

Stay as safe as you possibly can comrades, arm yourselves if you can, look out for those who can’t, and organise (E: create safe spaces to meet council and support each other, especially those who also face racism and or the risk of deportation, safe houses where people can live if they can’t stay where they are, pantries and kitchens to feed people who are struggling, get basic medical training so you can try to help if someone is hurt and the hospitals aren’t safe, provide care and support to those most vulnerable like the very young, old, and or disabled, train on the weapons you are able to get a hold of and learn self defence and attack tactics, learn how to make your own weapons, disrupt and resist wherever you can, and so on…)

the other 90% don’t care, or they have eaten enough propaganda to have a negative opinion but actually don’t care either

In other words they’ll just look the other way as you get dragged off…

Real fucking consolation that. /S

By “mad about capitalism” I mean “mad about capitalism”.

Your need to deflect from or worse, defend capitalism, and the notion that for profit insurance (E: never mind most of ableism in general) exists in some sort of vacuum or is some natural occurring phenomenon, rather than a direct product of said capitalism, tells me you’re definitely not right there with me, and it isn’t because I don’t know what I mean when I post it lmao

My body is a temple…OF DOOM

The number of defensive whining from libs in the replies to the OP beg to differ lol, they clearly very much do give a shit. So you keep slapping them in the face with reality until they can’t hide from it anymore, and they have to make a choice, pick a side, and be comfortable with their own decision, and the consequences it brings (including *shock horror*, being called what they choose to be - right wingers and fascism enablers, meanwhile the rest of us have the consequences of said fascism to face).

Leftists coddling liberal feeling is just as productive (E: to progress) as liberals coddling fascist feelings, that is to say - it isn’t, at all. We’re long past the point of prioritising privileged feelings over marginalised lives.

You’re literally just describing capitalism.

an attack on a member is an attack on all members!

Yes!

organize with the hope of flipping the legislature in the midterms two years from now.

Jfc, no…

What the fuck more will it take for people to understand that you can’t vote fascism away???!!!

You and me both lol

even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.

What makes you think he cares, or that it makes any difference? He’s steamrolling ahead regardless and most of people in his way seem much happier to bend their knee than to resist in any meaningful way.

There’s good reason we say you can’t vote fascism away.

Nah, none of that stuff matters!

No, not to him, that’s the point.

How much more deliberate in their oppressing and exploiting do those in power need to be before people stop expecting any different?

They’re there to serve themselves, not society

If only they would do the rest of us the courtesy of visibly branding themselves like that…

I would say they are very much the ones who opened the gate to the cage and waved the outsiders in, lets not pretend as if they just removed themselves.

Lol, it blows my mind that anyone could still have any confidence left in any MP.

They don’t give a shit about you or the planet

A court [in the UK] has ruled that consent for two new Scottish oil and gas fields was granted unlawfully and their owners must seek fresh approval from the UK government before production can begin.

Which they will get, without a fucking blink, because our government is and always will be for the rich and their interests, and Keith has made it perfectly clear that he couldn’t give two shits about the environment, nor even keeping up appearances that he cares.

And razors…

A. air travel isn’t “psychotic”, fuck off with that ableism and

B. he wouldn’t be doing it once, he would be doing it 0.00000000000000001% of a time

So again:

spare me the “every little help” platitude, at the scales we’re discussing here, this person’s itinerary makes zero difference, and only serves to alleviate his personal guilt.

And apparently, some of yours, too!
