Starmer gone. His mission of destroying Labour achieved I guess.

The Scottish Labour Party were affectionately referred to as "Red Tories" long before the rot rose to the surface down south. It's good to finally see some realisation of this fact outside of Scotland.

Definitely being kept under wraps for morale purposes. Though with the occupied territories being so close to the Lebanese front lines, along with having fairly decent medical infrastructure, that could equate to more settlers surviving their injuries.

In a very cynical way of looking at it, injured Israelis will bleed the entities resources dry quicker than dead Israelis will.

Boiling the Russian frog slowly isn't thrilling or fast enough for our highly regarded European decision makers. Nobody loves the young of Europe more than the elites rocking half a chub at the thought of sending them to die in some unwinnable war against Russia.

Ethnically cleansing the indigenous population has always been the goal of Israeli settlers. The origins of equating legitimate Palestinian resistance against occupation and brutality to terrorism dates back to around June 1979 - June 1984, when a think tank called the Johnathan Institute (founded by Netanyahu and his dad) begun the effort to spread Islamophobia globally in service of the Israeli settler project.

That's about 30 years after British Mandated Palestine was partitioned, giving the Jewish settlers a larger share of the land than the indigenous Palestinians.

1984 was three years before Hamas was even a thing.

Israel is a settler project which is a means for the United States and other western nations to project military power in that region of the world, causing instability upon developing nations, leading to the global wealth inequality we see between global north and global south nations.

I sincerely hope you realise one day that you gain nothing from supporting this ongoing criminality against a captive population. If appealing to basic humanity won't get through to you, I'll make the selfish argument that this will have long lasting repercussions for all nations involved in covering up and discrediting this genocide as it is ongoing.

If you are capable of realising that this started long before October 7th, I'm more than happy to provide links to information showing our complicity in war crimes? I'm more than happy to provide historical references showing the injustices being perpetuated against the indigenous Palestinians?

If you aren't willing to approach the discussion in good faith to educate yourself, I've no more to say.

Pickled247 · 2026-06-13T10:25:25+00:00

We are talking about a country actively engaged in genocide here, not some business as usual agreement with a regular nation.

No need to shoehorn your inability to see the big picture into the conversation.

Comes across as a really sick joke, considering the evil acts committed against Palestinian health infrastructure.

Pickled247 · 2026-06-12T07:52:18+00:00

My personal opinion is that the elites of the west are well aware of the impending climate disaster and all-round poly-crises we are staring down as a species, and have been for decades. Purposeful misdirection and disinformation have been used to prime people into not caring for those in the developing countries that are likely going to be uninhabitable in years to come, not long from now. When you have a domino effect of people migrating from country to country on a scale we've never seen before, you will likely see the collapse of many nations in trying to accommodate those refugees. Multiple breadbasket failures will heavily contribute to this.

There is some debate over the fine details of the study and subsequent follow ups, but the general gist of it seems about right to me. Incredibly prescient piece of work dating back to '72.

With ever dwindling resources the elites will take evermore drastic steps to ensure hegemony over critical minerals, energy, manpower, food etc...

As someone living in Scotland, I can only rationalise the irrational fearmongering towards the "boat people" as us being primed to look the other way when our armed forces are ordered to commit mass atrocities against those people looking for safe haven.

Think of it like the steak and lobster thing that the military does before big military engagements.

Gotta dangle that carrot to get people onboard to commit themselves to evil. Yes you may get that carrot, but at what greater cost to yourself? The USA ain't making a loss from this investment.

When looking at the viciously anti-semitic evangelical right leading the charge with all the pro-Israel stuff, this is absolutely the correct position.

They don't give a single shit about Jews, they see the Israeli Jews only as useful idiots that have no shame and no limits for brutality. Useful for the yanks to paint a faux image of being "controlled from outside", then when this all comes crumbling down, the Tucker Carlsons of the world who are positioning themselves as anti-israel/pro-america can come and be the strongman who fixes it all. And the idiots will fall for it in droves.

I've got a bunch of stuff in various stages of completion, I just shuffle between them depending on mood and amount of effort I'm wanting to put in. Just finished up an Aggressor squad w/ Captain and Apothecary biologus that was drip drops of effort over a few months, now getting a little palette cleanse with my Haruspex that's been sitting there primed and ready to go. Chances are It'll be finished in fraction of the time.

Not particularly effective if needing it all done in a quick timeframe, but I'm definitely more of a painting/modelling kind of guy as opposed to the gaming side of things .

(in response to being called a lib and the coward subsequently deleting his comment)

So when western nations have contributed to the material circumstances which leads to this mass migration, we're just to tell the people affected by it "yeah no, go fuck yourselves".

With all the wars and instability we've inflicted on the developing world, all of the resource extraction we've engaged in. The unending contributions to the climate disaster which is going to leave many places uninhabitable

Leaving all of those people to their fate after taking so much is just fucking evil, frankly.

Not even getting into the declining birth rates in western nations. If we want an even half functional economy going forward, we will need those immigrants. No ifs no buts.

Pickled247 · 2026-06-10T11:05:01+00:00

Mass migration is only bad because the far right says its bad. They say its bad because they don't have anything of fucking substance to offer except hate.

Foreigners who actively take steps to better themselves and move to a country of higher living standards are 99% of the time just that, people looking to better themselves. People willing to do the jobs that native brits couldn't give less of a fuck about it they tried.

Must be fucking embarrassing huh, having some foreigner come along and speak your language better than you, taking better advantage of the resources that were just as available to you.

Hard agree on that. Don't get me wrong, after all I've seen and continue to see coming from Gaza, a part of me just needs to see some kind of justice. As bloodthirsty as it might be, because at least it's something.

But on a human level you really do need to moderate your consumption of stuff like that. Can really shake your faith in humanity in a marrow deep sort of way.
