I'd make a comparison to WW1 and the war propaganda that was spread around at the time - portraying the Germans as vicious apes, theremoved of Belgium, that kind of thing. The German army absolutely engaged in war crimes during their advance - so did basically every army during that war. Does that justify the murder of millions of people and the ruination of entire generations? Of course not, particularly when you consider that every participant in the war was a colonial empire. The same, essentially, is true of the war in Europe today. We should not be sacrificing hundreds of thousands, millions of people to this horrific war just because NATO and Russia, both neoliberal capitalist entities with imperial ambitions, are in a dick-measuring contest where the prize is the right to exploit Ukraine's resources.

one of the many great "up and to the right" graphs that neoliberalism has brought us

East Africa can't even federate after literally decades of multiple stable states trying, how would a confederation of three juntas who are losing land to jihadists constantly be able to do it lmao

The way that many people i follow/know uncritically repeat these ridiculous, fake "news" stories has really shattered my faith in the ability of most of us to discern reality. Same shit with those garbage IRAN MILITARY NEWS accounts that popped up during the war in June and would announce "F-35 DOWNED!!!!" three times a day. I get that it was annoying back when people would bombard you with "source? source?" as a stand-in for a workable argument, but maybe we need to go back to that.

no he sucks at that too he could have just let the left wing of the party sit there and whine forever but he chose to kick them all out despite them presenting no threat to his majority and now he has fucked it completely

convincing left wing Labour MPs to actually leave the party and start a new one is like, insane. they have a Labour Party loyalism bone in their brains and he still managed it.

what is this even trying to indicate. "guesses"???

Simply ignore it. If you cannot ignore it, deny it. If you cannot deny it, justify it. If you cannot justify it, apologise for it. If you cannot apologise for it, lie about doing something about it. Do this for as long as possible so that the job can be finished or somebody else takes your place and the sacred penetrative act of colonial genocide and land-theft can go on for as long as necessary.

I'd rather they pick a broad label for a broad project. There are already two different "Socialist Party"s so that's out. Better this than something like "Peace and Justice Party" or "We Are Many" etc.

also presumably looking at the ethnic cleansing going on against other minorities in the country and thinking "no thanks"
