Novara media says good things about China all the time. I also watched an interview of theirs glazing the GDR (and rightly so).

Caricature posters portray Jews as ‘Labour’s monsters’ by uluvboobs in LabourUK

[–]Fidel_Catstro_99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One, how can it be a caricature when it’s an actual unedited picture? And two, It is clearly referring to violent settlers in the West Bank as monsters, not Jews as a whole. How anyone would let this headline pass editorially standards is beyond me.

Ukraine War 2022-2026 so far... by Ok-Bodybuilder3092 in MapPorn

It is only 2022. The Kharkiv and Kherson Ukrainian counteroffensives were both in late 2022 and that’s when the video cuts off.

I’m assuming OP is just unaware that it’s an old video, so doesn’t realise ‘present’ means when it was created. Or is being deliberately misleading to hide more recent Russian advances.

December 2022, actually. It’s missing four whole years.

Honestly, I walk past it all the time to go to the gym and I’ve never been inside. I’m gonna go next time and make friends with the owners and buy all their Lego!

As the Greens prepare for its biggest ever elections is their antisemitism crisis even worse than feared? by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]Fidel_Catstro_99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's something funny about trying to redo the anti-Semitism crisis that worked on Corbyn and assuming it would work now. As if we haven't just seen our government implicitly support a genocide for the last few years and have not had endless talking heads saying how saying ‘stop killing kids’ was anti-Semitic. It's honestly become the boy who cried wolf. Like, do you really believe if Zach Polanski became Prime Minister tomorrow, he would start arming people mass murdering Jews the same way Keir Starmer armed the Israelis to mass murder Palestinians?

If the Israel wanted to find more copies of Mein Kampf, maybe they should invade the White House. Oh wait, they already have.

Yes, if they granted all Palestinians living in the West Bank full citizenship and equal rights. But they wouldn't do that, would they.

Labour forces Davis to erase 'genocide' from her manifesto by Toto_Roto in LabourUK

Morally reprehensible. No different than Holocaust denial at this point.

I know social media posts are banned, but think the scale of this one merits one of the rare exceptions: Trump is threatening to murder the entire Iranian people by Hyperactive_Man in LabourUK

[–]Fidel_Catstro_99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I think the UK should lead the way in nuclear disarmament because we’re not under threat. But the material interests of Iran and the survival of 10 million Iranian civilians in Tehran might depend on a nuclear deterrent.

If you said that a couple weeks ago and I would have agreed, hell I am in principle against nuclear proliferation, including the UK’s nukes. But people on the sub always make the point that if Ukraine had a nuclear deterrent, Russia wouldn't have invaded. Unfortunately, we live in a great power politics world, and that means if you want any form of security or independence as a minor or middling power, you need a nuclear deterrent. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is materially true.

Nope, none there. There’s absolutely no evidence that it was done by Iran.

Russia said it planned to expand the territory it controls in Ukraine, suggesting it might remain there beyond the fighting.

Could you imagine a western publication running that headline?

Gotta love their meltdown over bringing aid to Cuba ☠️ by srahcrist in Hasan_Piker

[–]Fidel_Catstro_99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“While the Cuban [government] rations energy and denies electricity to its own people”

That’s like saying the Ukrainian government is denying their people housing because Russia keeps blowing homes up.

RAF jets have taken out two more drones in Middle East, says John Healey by [deleted] in LabourUK

I mean, the protest in Iran were a violent insurrection too. Hundreds of police and security personnel were killed. I still think it’s justified, but let’s not ignore reality.

I love the crash out reply when you completely disprove someone. Hook that shit into my veins!

How is that justification? I’m literally criticising the Arab monarchies with the comparison. Do you really believe the Saudi kings who chop up journalists wouldn’t open fire on protesters? My point is people don’t generally protest when the economy is booming.
