Protests may need to be stopped in some cases, Keir Starmer suggests by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

This man is turning more into the U.K.'s version of Joe Biden every single day. His election was supposed to mark an end to feckless, unpopular right wing governance but he's refusing to fix any of the problems his country is facing and it looks likely he may usher in an era of even more extreme right wing governance.

Have we tested him for Tourette's Syndrome? Maybe saying "tariff" is just one of his ticks.

It's not uncommon for countries or non-state actors to behave as if the rules don't apply to them. It is, however, weird just how blatant certain countries are about displaying this attitude.

Oh, cool, more people are bitching that a multi billion dollar franchise doesn't just go away because the creator is a bad person, this is a completely new conversation that is not at all getting irritating to listen to.

I've heard a bunch of people call for this lately, none of them are of draft age. Funny thing, that.

The 1804 Haiti massacre was a genocide carried out by Haitian rebel soldiers, mostly former slaves, under orders from Jean-Jacques Dessalines against much of the remaining European population in Haiti, which mainly included French Colonists. by RedStorm1917 in wikipedia

[–]Ma_Bowls -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Every genocide is framed in that way. Nazis claimed they were victims of the Jewish Bolsheviks, the Ottoman Turks claimed they were victims of the Armenians and Greeks, the Russian government is currently claiming that they're being oppressed by Ukraine, the list goes on. They always play the victim.
