That wouldn’t surprise me at all, but the sad reality is he could just as easily be a self promoting power hungry bigoted piece of shit capitalising on (and actively contributing to) the rise of fascism to get ahead all on his own. We really don’t need the Kremlin to produce such turds, it’s not like Westminster isn’t already full of exactly that type of person…

She recently publicly called out Starmer, who has otherwise only said and done transphobic things, for doing something completely out of character and calling out one of his own party for saying that only women have a cervix (Saying this isn’t always the case, but has also said shit like man=penis woman=vagina, so it’s not like he’s an ally or anything, just a broken clock).

In return, instead of telling her to fuck off and mind her business, Starmer has gone right in to terf appeasing mode and has assured her that “women’s rights” are his “top priority” (A joke in its own right but more importantly not a word about trans rights), and in a “twist” that should come as no surprise to anyone paying any attention, he is now making extra effort sucking up to her and getting her on side (more like confirming he’s on hers), making it clear (once again, as if it wasn’t already) that he doesn’t give a shit about trans people.

He only wants to win, not lead, he doesn’t care one iota about anyone but himself. Letting us choose between red bigot and blue bigot is barely even an illusion of choice anymore, and ensures one thing and one thing alone - that bigots will continue running the country.

Imagine being such a pathetic bottom feeder that your best move is to publicly deepthroat a dictator’s boot for attention…

Police aid, abet, and participate in corruption?? Say it ain’t so!

/s just in case

While religion figures will often try their best to extract money, it’s still “free to play”, and I would say occupies mind rather than body.

I think for-profit healthcare is a better example in this case - literally charging you to keep your body alive.

Bribes aren’t exactly a thing in Switzerland. I’m not saying there isn’t corruption but it’s not common.

Ba ha hahahaha… Thanks, I needed a good laugh…

Having you, a random citizen think there are no bribes and little corruption (I can’t even type it without laughing) doesn’t mean there aren’t any.

Switzerland, the country that claims “neutrality” but acts as the world’s best known financial, and physical, haven for not only the “anonymous” filthy rich like this family (who still have more influence on society as a whole than you can imagine), but actual dictators and war criminals, past and present, too IS corruption, in its entire essence. Its economical and political existence relies heavily on some of if not the dirtiest and most ill gotten money on the planet (the least dirty of which comes from wage theft on a global scale). Being discreet and polite about bribes and corruption is why. Maintaining favour with the evil people whose assets they protect will always be prioritised over anything else, including their local population (who are generally happy to look the other way as long as the dirty money keeps them in a relatively high standard of living, which is why they are kept in a relatively high standard of living), never mind the poor and or enslaved people overseas who are the ones actually paying the price.

That said they have to pay nearly a million dollars to the victims.

That IS a bribe, they’re literally throwing pocket change at the problem to make it go away. Going on their net worth of $70.8b, if they spent a whole million dollars a day, they wouldn’t notice it missing for nearly 200 years. And I say again - 4 of those years are categorically not going to be spent in prison, because they are never going to serve their entire sentence (and whatever part they might serve will undoubtedly be in greater comfort than they ever provided to those they enslave, and I deliberately use present tense because this isn’t going to stop them), which was already a corrupt and pathetic slap on the wrist to begin with.

This isn’t how you stop the filthy rich from enslaving people, this is how you put on a show for the poors to pretend to care while you continue to enable the exploiters and oppressors, because your government and economy depend on it (and because all of those “corruption scores” you see out there are based on perception, not fact).

And you’re buying the act.

Never going to happen. I’m just going to leave this here:

Blair right that a woman has a vagina and a man has a penis, Starmer says

Wow, I wasn’t really expecting a reply, never mind something this through!

It’s past 2am here, so my brain can’t take it all in right now, so I’ll give it a proper read tomorrow when I can better process it and reply accordingly, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate your effort, thank you!

the behavioral pathway will flip and the calming trigger will start causing anxiety instead because that’s when you’re doing it most

You might have no idea, but since you bring it up I might as well ask - any way of reversing this once it’s happened? Recently my stress levels have been so heightened that that switch has flipped on some of the things (and people) that gave me most comfort and instead now they just cause me rage, and I’m struggling to find a way back (am autistic too which I understand can make this even harder)…

At this point, no, this is international.

E: ok, so right after posting I realised you said international not intentional, but I’m leaving my original reply as is, for those who might not know:

For example, the board of the review, that didn’t include any trans people (because “bias”), did include at least 3 (that we know of) members of SEGM(so called " Society For Evidence-Based Gender Medicine", but really just a transphobic org), as well as being commissioned by an openly transphobic government.

It was always intended to be anti-trans.

While them getting a jail sentence is good, the term is a joke, especially since they’re not likely to actually serve it all or even any of it (house arrest, time served, “good behaviour”, bribes, they aren’t short of ways nor money to get around it), and are probably the most likely to re-offend out of anyone who has ever stepped foot in a jail…

I would be much more excited if they were made to pay their earnings for the duration that they kept slaves, to the people they enslaved (never mind all the other people they have and continue to exploit to get to be the richest people), and were then kept under constant supervision to make sure they don’t start doing it again as soon as they possibly can. (I am well aware this will unfortunately never happen)

Nothing, and never let them make you think otherwise.

The truth is that while what she said was undoubtedly problematic, white male politicians from both sides of the circus have said, and more importantly done, much much worse, and have kept their jobs, and probably even got a pat on the back from the establishment.

The problem isn’t that she was suspended, it’s that others doing worse aren’t - she was 100% suspended because she is a Black woman.

Assuming you’re saying that you’re a woman who enjoys sex with men (not the only option of course, but probably the only one “milder” in the eyes of a bigot than homosexuals), answering yes to all of those still makes you an enemy of the patriarchy:

you shouldn’t love men - you should be subservient to them, you shouldn’t enjoy hobbies - you should be constantly pregnant and carrying at least one more child on your hip while making sure the house is tidy and your husband is fed, you shouldn’t enjoy sex - especially not the kind that isn’t for making babies, they save that for the “whore” (in their eyes) that they cheat on their wife with.

So not as scary to them as a potential cock up the arse (because they truly believe the gays are after their dirty buttholes), but really just about as threatening to their “traditional” way of life as homosexuals are… I’d wear it as a badge of honour lol

I’m in these meme and I don’t like it.

I’d say “dirt” is close enough to the reality…

Yeah, thanks, I couldn’t quite see what was under the other handwriting, but now that you mention it it’s obvious, as is the swastika next to it. There’s also some words above and bellow the sketch that I couldn’t make out…

Those, and I can also make out:

• They tried scratching out “anarchist” in the title and replace it with “homosexual”
• “Do you love men?”
• “Do you have feminine hobbies?”
• “Do you love dick in your ass and mouth?”
• a badly drawn hitler in the left margine

So yeah, definitely nazi alert

Now apply it to the super rich, before their accountants get their “creative” hands on it.
