Have the roundabout engineers gone on strike? (@didtheystrike) profile picture

when a person or colour commits a crime, the far right will riot everytime... but when Jack, John, or Joe has done wrong, a protest is suddenly way too long?

To understand why Mississippi has historically voted so conservatively despite its large Black population, consider this: Where ruling (race-)class interests are most in danger, the beliefs/ideas used to keep ordinary people divided will always be pronounced the sharpest.

If it were the other way around, the usual crowd would be crying about voter fraud while, of course, blaming everyone and anyone who isn't white.

Kemi Badenoch proposes ยฃ36bn of cuts to welfare, including help for disabled children. She also promises help for better-off parents - by removing the VAT on private school fees & offering free childcare for those earning ยฃ100k+. Same old Tories - help the rich, stuff the rest.

See how the Greens were getting lots of good press when they wanted Starmer out and Burnham in? And before that, it was UKIP/Reform when they wanted the Tories to become more right wing. The hard left/right are used by the media to shift the politics of the centre left/right.
Kemi Badenochโ€™s Conservatives have overtaken Reform UK in The Telegraphโ€™s poll tracker for the first time in almost two years. The tracker, which aggregates approved opinion polls, shows the Tories in second place behind Labour with 21.73 per cent, ahead of Reform on 21.66 per cent. ๐Ÿ”—: telegraph.co.uk/politics/202โ€ฆ

Nobody seems to understand that PIP and other disability benefits are actually tested on your day to day needs, not a paper diagnosis. Plenty of "high functioning" ASD/ADHDers out there who really do have struggles but not enough to qualify for these supposedly "free handouts".
Someoneโ€™s really just said to me that people with ADHD should look for support โ€œinstead of expecting handouts from the governmentโ€ WHAT SUPPORT? WHAT FUCKING SUPPORT? A 2 year waitlist for assessment A 1 year waitlist for medication No other support available FUCK. OFF.

Not hearing enough people talking about Russell Brand's far right political turn. It's absolutely no coincidence that these abusers align with a certain politics.

Death by a thousand cuts. Mind you, this woman allegedly attended a (off the record) white-only segregationist private school... AND then chose to send her children there too! Losing to a Black man in the KKK heartlands must be the racist equivalent of a social death.
Unpopular opinion: I kinda like that the Mississippi race is taking so long to call because it must be torture for that woman losing to a Black guy so slowly.

Them making it a point to say that she is 18 years old and mentioning how her family received death threats is how white women continue to make themselves victims when they cause everyone else harm.

Ok letโ€™s squash this permanently 1. Japan received BILLIONS in aid, tech transfers and debt forgiveness post WW2 to build it up as ah anti communist stronghold 2. Haiti has been plundered, invaded, financially sanctioned and sabotaged by the US AND FRANCE
Replying to @tigerfoos
Japan had 2 atomic bombs dropped on them and they built back stronger than almost any nation on the planet in less than 30 years they didn't bitch and complain

I canโ€™t imagine how fearful disabled people must be. Politicians coming after them almost daily. Turn on twitter & read tweets about how disabled people are playing the system. Switch on the tv & watch chat show presenters arguing about the worth of disabled people. Itโ€™s horrific
