    Banning protests in the UK under the fake guise of terrorism is a despicable move that makes us no different to Russia or China or countries we are supposedly superior to because of our moral human rights framework.

    Gaza has proved all of this to be a hoax. It shows that tolerating a genocide and war crimes against brown people only invites the same authoritarian tactics to be rolled out against Western populations when they become troublesome.

    Starmer is a fascist cunt.

      Westerners when their countries do fascist shit: “This like something that foreigners would do!”

        Exactly. People drink the KOOL aid of how democratic and tolerant Western states are but they crush dissent, censor, spy and imprison journalists and activists like everyone else.

          Westerners also seem to forget that the UK, France, and US are mostly to blame for all the instability and war in the middle east, forgetting (intentionally or not) the colonial and imperialist past of their governments when they were committing war crimes and dismissing the will and needs of entire populations for decades before the idea of non-europeans also having rights became popular.

        I hated that part of their post. Couldn’t they at least have said, “no better than USA” ?

    Getting sick and tired of these “protests”. Do something and actually help people over there instead of ruining another country.

      TIL that it’s actually the protests that are ruining countries. Thank the lord for our based government who banned them, then.

        Maybe I am. I just woke up. But over here every time there is a Palestine rally, they destroy spray graffiti on the walls, destroy builds and cars, throw bikes in the water… It doesn’t seem like a thing you should do.
