The lies we've been indoctrinated with about public spending coming from our tax dollars is propaganda designed to make important public purpose spending seem unrealistic, unfair or even selfish.
You've got to grieve everything that has died, and let go of an expectation of continuity of the ways of life you're used to. Especially true of citizens in the imperial core. You feel entitled to "normalcy" at the expense of other ppls' lives. That's the ugly truth.
They don’t need to ban rebellion. They just make it impractical. Need ID to post. Phone number to speak. Face to unlock. In a system like that, compliance isn’t enforced. It’s default.
If anyone even remotely involved in the new Corbyn/Sultana project follows me, please: stay as far away from Novara, OJ, most all left media as possible. You do not need to preach to their choirs and they will wreck your party like absolute fuck, this much I know for sure.
Digital ID is not a tool. It’s a gatekeeper. To speak, to move, to earn. Tied to your name, your face, your compliance. One step out of line and the system won’t punish you. It’ll just lock you out.

They're not building safety nets. They're building filters. Face scans, ID checks, real names, none of it stops harm. It stops dissent. Before it even forms. You’re not being protected. You’re being profiled.
BREAKING: Israel has just executed 20 Palestinian civilians as they waited in line for food trucks in Zikim, Gaza. 20 starving innocents, gunned down in an instant. Over 300 others injured. These massacres are happening every single day. This is systematic extermination.
For 50 years, we've been telling you that the French deficit is a disgrace. The reality ? It's the norm for 80% of the world's countries. My new article PROVES it, card in hand. The analysis that shatters the dogma of austerity... #MMT mmt-france.org/2025/07/26/the…
"Israel has the right to self-defense, but this has gone too far." FALSE. Israel does not have "the right to self-defence" over occupied territory. The right to self-defence that these monsters talk about does not even exist in international law.
It’s always worth reviewing these basic facts to boost our inoculation against economic BS. Thread.
Some basics. The US Dollar is a tax credit. It is a unit of measure. You can't run out of inches You can't run out of numbers The government can't run out of dollars... unless it purposely, politically chooses to. Thread 1/x
Honestly if you have Long Covid you’re supposed to feel shit all the time and never complain about it, and never seek medical help, and never wish for any help, assistance or support from anyone, and not mind being reinfected. Fvck this is insane!
In Labor fantasy land we are simultaneously too small to have any effect on Israel's genocide of Palestine yet we boldly assert that Hamas can have no part in any future government there. Tell me: which is it?
The shameless con of Neoliberal Austerity. 1. Pretend our currency issuing govt can go bankrupt. 2. Pretend wages, welfare and public services are now unaffordable. Meanwhile… 3. Openly funnel £100s billions of free money every year to corporations and money markets. 4. Repeat.

Gaza now has the largest number of child amputees in history. This is a crime against humanity🇵🇸💔😔
Every day in Gaza, more than 10 children lose a limb. This has been the daily reality since the war began. The pain is relentless. The world must not look away🇵🇸💔😔

No. Fucking. Shit. The feigned gormlessness is doing my head in @abcnews. The hiding behind 'veteran journalist claims' is a really gross attempt to transition from two years of denial to partial acknowledgement of the bleeding obvious reality. Enablers.
Wow he finally learned that the country’s name isn’t “Netanyahu”
Having already killed or wounded 200,000 Palestinians, the extremist Israeli government is using mass starvation to engineer the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Despite these crimes, the US has provided $22 billion to Israeli military operations since the war began. Enough is enough.
Saying that Hamas is stealing or diverting aid in your "anti-genocide" post is a hideous smear against the Palestinian people. x.com/JewishLabour/s…
Just read the newspapers with a bit of attention, it becomes painfully obvious that government spending isn’t about financial limitations, it’s about political convenience! The moment all political parties agree on something, like handing out corporate freebies or building…
