I know what you mean, when I put to nazis and bigots, through various civil discourses, the most agreeable and cordial justifications for their systematic capture and extermination or deportation, to my great surprise, they never acquiesce to any form of intellectual exchange, regarding the legitimate concerns I raise.

Its the most bizzare thing because, just previously, they’d been more than happy to declare thus and so the most polite and reasonable argumentations supporting the very same thing for other people. More so, they many were lamenting how unfair it was for them to be denied the opportunity to pontificate on such matters, just a short time previously.

I’m sure you can only imagine my surprise when they did this, after their claims of wanting nothing more than “civil discourse.”

Its sad how western colonial imperialists will try describe ethnic cleansing as a good or necessary thing.

As I suggested, the idea is and always has been to force palestinians out from Palestine, so they can be denied the right to ever return to thier homeland

In the exact way Israel has done to thousands of palestinians before and were all supposed to pretend we can’t see exactly what we’re looking at.

Also, “war” implies either side could win. This isn’t a war, its ethnic cleansing, for the express purpose of illegally colonising stolen land.

I don’t remember saying that skill shortages don’t exist.

Israel declaring everyone should just leave is great and everything but where is safe for them to go?

Its just, to me, the only places they seem to be able to go that might be safe are outside of Palestine but maybe I’m just being cynical.

I agree with the first part.

The second has some truth but peoples frustration isn’t that there is some immigration. More so, despite their claims, there isn’t a skill shortage of unskilled workers which should’ve always been self refuting. However, there is a shortage of companies who will pay people enough to do the work they want people to do.

When its framed like the above, it frames it as the choices are a) exactly as it is no or b) no migrant workers, even if that’s not what you meant to say.

I hope you agree, the problem isnt the tiny number of people coming here illegally. Its not great but it was largely a deliberately manufactured problem.

The real problem we have no is that every company, post brexit, can now claim that their refusal to pay market rate wages or the provide meaningful training to anyone is the same as a skill shortage. This, of course, means their only possible option these hard done by entrepreneurs can do is import someone in for far less than what they should be paying for that work to be done in the UK.

Before brexit, they had pay enough for someone to want to move from, say, Italy leaving their family and friends behind to start a new life. Now, they only have to offer more than the going rate of the global south.

The problems were seeing are directly a result of letting corporations run riot over our immigration policy for years which has lead to some serious problems.

Just to be clear, I don’t blame anyone for wanting to come here for a better life. I didn’t choose to be born here.

100% and, more so, thats not just a billion in cash, of course. Thats a billion dollars worth of stuff that makes you money, that can be sold off for at least a billion, most likely far more.

When people read these valuations, they often think to themselves “surely they can’t be worth that much” and they’re right. It will always be much, much more. Other than Trump, wealth valuations are always very, very conservative, due to the nature of how they do it, and thats before we get to the fact that they’re only estimating their wealth on the assets that are publicly disclosed.

“Mondays are fine. Its your job that sucks”

Alternative version

No no, they dont call them kings. They call them wealth creators and, despite worshipping them in much the same way, them ruling their offices in much the same way and literally just being a financial aristocracy, I’m told its a totally different thing.

Better for whom exactly?

This is why we need a proper, fact based education about empire and the damage it caused the world, even if it gets dismissed as “woke” by ignorant flag shaggers.

Its great work and I’m not looking to take anything away from them but I meant more direct action than Ireland, South Africa or anyone else is comfortable doing, with what America would do to them if they did.

I mean like, as in if their neighbours try to stop their neighbours from being killed.

All the treats I have are non binary. You know, because its food.

Don’t be gross. What do you think this is, France?

Never before in human history have such heinous war crimes been so thoroughly documented.

And the world stands by and does nothing.

Tbf, anyone who tried would be liberated back into the stone ages. They’d be liberated so hard, their great-grandchildren will still be hurting from it.

Imo, the most egregious would be the tories forcing the UK to sell its controlling share in BP, the very second we discovered ALL the oil in the North Sea for a fraction of its cost.

If Putin, trump, Johnson, Blair or Starmer had done it, they would know exactly what they were looking at: corruption.

Theres nothing we can do within our legal framework. If we had any justice in this country, they’d be doing some very hard time.

Edit: although the figures here are a great example of why you should ignore most large companies profit figures. They fiddle them, making them next to useless. If you don’t have access to their cash flow, dividends payouts cuts through the BS just as well.

…consisting of guys born to a fantastic level of wealth who all have to pretend inequality doesn’t exist in any capacity what so ever in order to make any of their theories work.

A little but what most people don’t seem to be aware of is that most war spending far outstrips what was spent on lockdown etc. Yet, for some reason, this lesser amount is meant to be the cause of all economic misfortune right now.

Countries can cope with things like that well enough. The problem is, we’re no longer taxing the rich to pay for things, the way we always used to, anymore and most counties have been asset stripped by those very same people they used to tax properly.

Until then, you know, you just have to be true to yourself because, if you’re not being true to yourself, you’ll be living a lie.

In the end you’ve just got to remember that it is what is and you’ve got to what you’ve got to do. You gotta do your thing you, know?

So just be you but a you that’s true to yourself while going with the flow and bossing it your way, all the way.

Most of all, be lucky.

They’re going to build right up to the river they told everyone to get north of.

"Of course they would say that. Those Liberal, left wing universities, with their peer review, aren’t to be trusted.

These hard-right think tanks (masquerading as anything other than a glorified PR firm they are) on the other hand are the definition of unbiased knowledge"

Again, if you want to make up your own definition of middle class, then you’re right.

By everyone else’s, you’re not.

The rest is just noise.
