talent upon the talented, freedom upon the free

not just any MP, but an undersecretary for migration and citizenship. this guy is one of the MPs that has a direct hand on the genuinely horrific treatment of migrants and refugees in the UK, including shipping them off to the UK's former colony after unilaterally declaring the colony to be safe, as well as stripping the migrant and refugees of their heirlooms in the name of "paying for their migration in the UK with their own assets." Starmer's cabinet is filled with people whose bloodsoaked hands will never wash out like these.

i love dykes and i hate cops

be real I'd fucking love a manga drawn like this

i do think i’m better than people for not shopping on shein or temu

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

I don't like to make too much of a business of joking about how the US military is bad at doing war because the inverse (a world where we're good at wars) would be an even worserer situation but like. Jiminy fucking Christ we're really really bad at wars it's downright remarkable

I'm really hung up on the oil thing. I love the part where we apparently have a critical interest in preserving the economy of the country we're trying to blow up because our economy will collapse if their economy collapses. I just. That's the worst anyone's ever done it, buddy. It's like the eternal war in 1984 but like the Jason Friedberg version of 1984. If the term total war describes the Clausewitzian mobilization of an entire country's political and economic apparatus towards war then the USA of America is in a permanent state of Quarter-Ass War. Like they're never gonna get there but they're gonna keep on trying anyways

it feels like their incompetence at war is directly linked to a desire to do war. It's trite to say but I think "They are so bad at war they want to wage it" works for the modern era. The more the bomber mentality took over in ww2 and afterwards, the worse America got at war and the more they wanted to do it. Being good at war would involve knowing how disastrous/expensive/long it would be to try it.

Last I checked (today), the Iran war has cost the US 130-135 billion dollars in military resources and skyrocketing costs of living. Aside from various war crimes including bombing 168 schoolgirls on day one and gaining various criminals a bunch of billions from insider trading, it has accomplished nothing. Cutting their losses and paying 300 billion in reparations as Iran demands is overwhelmingly the best available option for the US; it could only be better if they had done it six weeks ago

"my very photogenic mother died in a freak accident (picnic, lightning) when i was three" like come ON how did you write the funniest sentence ever by adding a two word parenthetical. leave something for the rest of us
