Read the thread, learn the tactics, and stay vigilant.

Look at the United States right now.

A few billionaires and oligarchs have essentially bought the government and rule the country.

Europe needs to be incredibly careful not to go down that same path.

We must protect our institutions from extreme wealth and corporate capture

I’d just like to remind the universe that, while I was once commissioned to taste test and rate 17 different varieties of baked beans, no one has ever commissioned me to taste test Easter eggs. And I feel that my skill set* really skews towards Easter eggs

*strong personal preference

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.

Here's what has happened since then to public opinion

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

📍 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐆𝐎, 𝐈𝐋:

A U.S. citizen was detained by DHS at O’Hare Airport for about 30 hours after returning from a work trip. She was transferred to an ICE facility before being released in Wisconsin, with officials citing only “curious travel history.” #AbuseOfPowerWatch

You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name

Mate they swept Jo Cox under a rug as quickly as possible, they don’t give a fuck.

I talk to people outside.

Keyboard Warrior Markwayne Mullin:

LEFT: Pounding his little warrior chest on the Internet.

RIGHT: Cowering and shitting his pants in real life.

A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

There is this weird thing that Blue Labour does where they take an idea or view that, at best, was held by some in the party and hotly contested by the different factions over the years, and then just present it as if that was the consensus position of the whole party for decades

Here is one Democrat already saying the very easy and obvious thing to say in response to comments like Ogles'

While Americans spent the weekend watching gas prices rise because of his illegal war with Iran, Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing.

America’s sons and daughters are being put in harms way because of his rogue and reckless actions, and this is how he is spending his time.

Opposition to the United States' military action against Iran has risen by 10pts among Britons over the last week

Support: 25% (-3 from 2 March)
Oppose: 59% (+10)

ALJAZEERA BREAKING NEWS US orders non-essential diplomats to leave southern Turkey

Lindsey Graham • @LindseyG... • 1h The American Embassy is being evacuated in Riyadh because of sustained attacks by Iran against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. X It is my understanding the Kingdom refuses to use their capable military as a part of an effort to end the barbaric and terrorist Iranian regime who has terrorized the region and killed 7 Americans. Question - why should America do a defense agreement with a country like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is unwilling to join a fight of mutual interest? Americans are dying and the U.S. is spending billions to dislodge the terrorist Iranian regime that threatens the region. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seems to be issuing statements and doing things in the background that are marginally helpful, but unwilling to participate in military operations to end the reign of terror coming out of Iran. Hopefully Gulf Cooperation Council countries will get more involved as this fight is in their backyard. If you are not willing to use your military now, when are you willing to use it? Hopefully this changes soon. If not, consequences will follow. nytimes.com/2026/03/08/wor...

Drop Site News Drop Site • @DropSiteNews X.com NEW: Bahrain prosecutors now seeking death penalty for citizens accused of photographing damage from Iranian attacks Bahrain's Public Prosecution is seeking the death penalty for defendants accused of "high betrayal," alleging they photographed locations where photography is prohibited. In court, prosecutors said the kingdom faces "brutal Iranian aggression," adding that "loyalty to the homeland is not an option that accepts negotiation," and calling for "maximum penalties" for violators, "without the slightest mercy," which they added is the "death penalty." The case comes as authorities continue blaming an for damage from a strike in Sitra, where 32 vilians, including children, were injured after a ahraini air-defense interceptor appears to have ruck a residential area.

When everything is going just great you start… evacuating people in other countries, threatening your allies for not joining in on your war and your other ally decides to do the death penalty for anyone posting photos of the bombs that hit them

@RepOgles on X: Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie. 09 Mar 26

Nazis to the core

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got.

Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean?

Last line is especially ominous

I remember when Turkey had huge anti-government protests and I'll tell you this, not a single British Turk I met through that was begging the big boys to lay waste to our parent's home country. I have nothing but contempt for the people who beg America to do the work they're too weak to see through.

I am currently watching a lot of well-intentioned but naive people in my broader social circle adjusting to the whiplash of people who had been hectoring and cajoling them about listening to Iranian voices and so on now grinning and gnashing their teeth as innocent Iranians are slaughtered.

Despite what Instagram infographics and TikTok influencers say, you remain a self-possessing individual with their own moral and intellectual agency, free to assess behaviour which appears cruel, malignant or amoral on your own terms, and conclude that it is, in fact, precisely that.

It isn't a betrayal of one's progressive values to witness members of a country's diaspora dancing in the street and rejoicing at news of their home nation being bombed or the slaughter of hundreds of their compatriots, and question the goodness of their intentions or clarity of their moral compass.

Staggering levels of corruption and self-dealing.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Fucking heroes, every one!

Don't forget that as part of his conditional release New Orleans rapper and member of the Hotboy$, B. G. LITERALLY has to have the lyrics of all his future songs approved by the US Government. No 1st amendentment for him.

Meanwhile every other country song is the most racist crap in existence now.

Way to not answer the question. Not wanting to help planes used to bomb schools is hardly a utopian dream, it’s literally the bare minimum of morals.
