These protesters are victims of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They’re protesting for higher standards of civil liberties while two rouge, fascist nations utilize them as a means to instill regime change for their own interests. Complete disregard for human life, while the ayatollah see them as an accessory to US and Israeli aggression and clamped down on the protesters with more lethality.

And on top of that, Trump’s corrupt foreign political donors in the middle east like the Saudis asked them to back down, and he did. So extra lives were squandered for virtually nothing.

Turns out Stanley Kubrick was actually filming a docudrama

Was afraid of this as soon as I heard of these protests; US and Israel using this as a justification for aggression.

That’d be too stark of a difference; showing what obvious legitimate antisemitism looks like. I’m willing to bet they’ll always pretend Nick Fuentes doesn’t exist.

Been using FreeTube for a bit now w/ GraphineOS, and my Linux Desktop. Runs cookieless embed of YouTube videos and Invidious instances built in. Localized subscriptions and playlists, which can be imported in from Google Takeout; no recommendations page. Occasionally YT will block your IP, which is where a good VPN comes into play so you could switch on the fly, and for overall additional privacy hygiene.

I would love to drop YT all together, but some independent journalists I follow are all there who’s coverage is really on the pulse. It pays to be informed by good journalists these days, and many of them are unfortunately on YT.

Let it be the beginning of the end of right wing, war criminal bullshit; while Mamdani takes the city at the turn of the century

After a certain point, it’s just called a fucking trade embargo.

Can we stop calling right wing billionaires populists? Because that’s oxymoronic, and full of shit.

I think it’s the big picture of racially motivated violence that the meme pokes fun at in particular.

Side note, the UK is the one mirroring the US’ authoritarianism the fastest and the closest anyhow. They’re having the same narrative problem of getting the dumbest of their population to believe that all their problems are because of immigrants existing.
