      Law enforcement are selected for being authoritarian scabs everywhere. The good ones, of strong moral character, are ostracised and pushed out by rest.

    I wish this was a headline from The Onion but sadly it’s a representation of where Britain is today. Suppressing the rights of its own citizens to protect a foreign nation committing genocide

    Fascist thugs in government can’t allow people to oppose genocide. Don’t these people know it’s making a few people extremely rich?

        Yes. The UK was the midwife to israel’s existence.

        The British government agreed the Balfour declaration in 1917 which announced that Palestine would become a Zionist colony. They sent British soldiers to keep the Palestinians down as European colonists flooded in, brutally crushing a Palestinian uprising in 1936 in the same way that they oppressed the Irish fighting for independence. They trained Zionist terror groups like the Irgun on how to ethnically cleanse villages and terrorise the civilian populations which greatly helped them depopulate Palestine in 1948 during the Nakba.

        Since then they have been consistent suppliers of weapon systems as well as political and moral cover for israel crimes even after the US took over the role of main sponsor.

    The elders need to plan with the youths. While the force is focusing on the elders holding signs the youth can fuck shit up elsewhere. Split the forces and you can get a message across

      My wish for the youth of today is that they rediscover the joys of tipping cars over.

    As an American I feel:

    1. schadenfreude after all the crap I’ve taken because fighting facshests is hard and I’m tired of hearing crap from Europe

    2. fear because the number of truly democratic countries is shrinking

      In Switzerland they put fire to a company creating tear gas guns and similar crowd control weaponry. Out of solidarity for ICE victims and the students in France.

      That’s the level of civil unrest this fascist takeover demands.
