Americans love to wring their hands over how killing thousands of innocent people might create consequences for America rather than the abject evil of killing thousands of innocent people
I'll never forget the story I heard from a group of people who laid out one pair of boots for every 100 Iraqi civilians killed to show the toll of the Iraq War and the primary reactions were apathy and anger at them for humanizing Iraqis
European governments won't let the poor freeze. They will invest in renewable energy to protect themselves against future oil price rises. And don't forget, they have the stones actually to seize money from the too-rich to pay for it, if necessary.
Americans do not really think killing people is wrong.
Congratulations!
Did you miss the lesson on when to say "no"?
Fair enough! There is nothing a man is allowed to do that a woman is not, and nothing a woman is allowed to do that a man is not, so why even record it if it will make no difference in the end?
I hate how people give you shit for being poor and owning a pet.
Like, motherfucker, pest control is expensive. These cats are paying rent.
Let people improve the quality of their shitty lives with pets.
Well done for not selling out your comrades!

I'm going expecting something like this next. Been saying for years we have ideological transphobes in charge and we won't convince them. It will take European Courts, or failing that, voting them out.
This is why I strongly support GPEW. A Labour, Tory or Reform win in 29 will be catastrophic
The foundational myth of christianity literally tells of how a stolen God impregnated an under-age mortal girl and then turned His back on His former Chosen People.

I was grateful for my compression socks!
In the 21st century, surely the only appropriate substance from which to make a shepherd's pie is textured vegetable protein?
Kids are accepting by default. Sounds to me it's more like homophobic parents they are pandering to -- and, by not pushing back, not behaving any better than.

Another reason to boycott American stuff. They depend heavily on the entertainment and IT industry (both of which are also intertwined). We don't owe them market share nor the cultural imperialism or security concerns which come with it.
Pixar deliberating avoiding gay storylines is unequivocal homophobia, and any Pixar representative defending that decision is being homophobic.
We don't need 1000 word essays on it, just call it what it is.
We're far too afraid to call bigots bigots because we like their creative work.
They look great! Well, the whole outfit does, really .....
The only thing they need to face is a firing squad.
Absolutely! Obeying an order which you know to be wrong is even wronger than giving that order. Because at least the person you give an order to has the option to save you by disobeying.
"organizations are only as good as their leaders" - false.
Organisations are only as good as the worst-performing individuals within them.
(OK, the weakest link that determines the strength of the whole chain often *is* the leader of an organisation, but not always.)
Trans activists are a horrible violent mob. That's the lie spread by the gender ("critical" lol) police. But if these people keep pushing for our social death, it may very well become the truth.
So when they said "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law", they didn't really mean it?
Every word uttered by every world leader ought to be a matter of public record.
I know exactly how you feel. If I took any of this seriously, even for a moment, I probably would spontaneously combust or something.
Men: "I must have a graphics card with 96-bit colour!"
Also men: "They're the same shade, for crying out loud!"
How does this definition of extremism not include S*x M*tt*rs and their ilk?
Renault Five?
I'm almost expecting some government mouthpiece to say a stretch in prison is no big deal if you are truly innocent, and you should regard it as a fair price to pay for keeping criminals off the streets.
Counterpoint: It is not the fault of consumers that manufacturers are expecting more money for doing a good job than they consumers are prepared to part with, and so palm them off with a bad job.
And maybe that nuclear threat still stands.
Only this time, the person who was the least keen actually to use a nuke in anger is dead; and people who might have fewer qualms about using nukes are in power and out for revenge .....
