Crossing my fingers and toes for Germany!

This is why noone should EVER trust people like this. Tech billionaires are not to be trusted. Billionaires are not to be trusted. Corporations are not to be trusted.

That’s interesting, I’d never heard of that before. I know that people who are aphantasic often still dream with vivid mental images, so, it like they aren’t able to access them consciously and maybe the triggers help you in a similar way.

Instagram isn’t for sex is it?

Agreed its not likely but it’s not possible to give up. I mean, it could and has been worse. We aren’t slaves, our country hasn’t been invaded, we aren’t living in Russia… It could be worse and we can’t give up or it will probably get worse.

Aphantasia?

I think there’s more than one kind of imagination. It’s like the opposite of ‘thinking outside the box’.

Theirs is more like ‘wow this box is big! I’m gonna get inside a smaller one’.

I’ve had some good conversations with local TUSC members collecting signatures and so on, I’ve a lot of respect for them but sadly the general public don’t seem to. I think after the kicking by thatcher, unions and socialism in general are out of fashion. I do think there should be a broadly left party, allowing secondary membership maybe. Work on getting agreement on some issues, laser focus on what’s most urgent and get decent people elected. I’d support any party with decent policies and which had the most chance of getting elected.

Trump will give them space in Guantanamo bay

Those voters had already been brainwashed by fascists into thinking destitute refugees and asylum seekers were at the root of their problems instead of offshore bank accounts stuffed with their taxes, which should have been used to pay for public services and housing.

Its not only that but how the left has been marginalised, as what happened with the labour party in the UK - Jeremy corbyn, the old leader who was actually left wing has been barred from the party, which he was part of for his whole life. A lifelong anti-racist on the correct side of every issue has been smeared as being a racist and that is now the mainstream ‘truth’.

The only left wing party of any size in the UK now is the green party. The only alternatives to business as usual labour/conservatives (same thing) are the greens (seen mostly as a middle class protest vote) or reform.

Labour are definitely not for the working class anymore.

Most people have an astounding lack of imagination. Its like they thing that things can’t get much worse because that would be too different to now…

Why would Putin be interested in a real deal when he already is defacto president of the US?

Only if Europe can stand against trump and Russia (and allies) will he not get what he’s bought and paid for. Zelensky knows and I hope he keeps shouting the truth from the rooftops.

Same but they have text messages too. I just tell them it doesn’t work on my phone, which is true because I use grapheme OS and no play store. People also will get signal if you give them no other option to contact you - its free, they’re just lazy. Just text them your username and tell them you left WhatsApp, you don’t need to ask permission

Putin’s poodle
