UK government lawyer argues that being trans, a feminist, not white and pro-Gaza are all Russian plots
Britain may have to resort to anti-subversion laws, watchdog warns
They are shit fucking scared of the new left wing party Corbyn is building and this is a pre-emptive reaction to it. They know it's coming within the next 12 months.
If you thought the media was insane last time Corbyn was a threat it's going to get absolutely wild.
I hope Corbyn has learned from Reform that constant vilification does absolutely nothing to stop you if you have a popular platform.
Jean-Luc Melenchon has been attacked for being anti-semetic since Oct 7 and he was asked why it didn't seem to have the same effect on him and the party since it was pretty much the exact same scenario. He just said that you just have to ignore those things, anyone who is remotely seriously knows what's going on, and everyone knows who the racists are in the political world.
Except I'm not convinced Farage ever got half the vilification that Corbyn did. There's a big difference between the media saying
"Immigration is the worst. Also hey look at this anti-immigrant guy, crazy right? Plus we keep implementing his policies. Remember immigration bad. Reform is totally a problem."
and
"This guy confirmed for Russian sleeper agent. Plus he hates you. Here's the army chief confirming he'll get us all killed. And we proved his policies will make you poor. Plus he's unelectable anyway. Here's a bunch of shit we made up about him for kicks.".
As much as I wish for the best, I can't imagine him not playing defence to some degree. The shameless aggression that is necessary does not seem to be in his nature.
I have to thank Reform and 4chan for teaching me that constantly being demonized can work in my favor.
The difference is, rightists have total domination of the media and government, Corbyn doesn't. He can't force his way to "populism" like chuds do. Time will tell if he can get enough support or not.
Yep, ignore the bullshit. Just push through it and ignore everything they say
The left is the true antisemitic in the room thing has mostly been run to the ground in the UK (I hope), a few years ago a significant amount of his supporters were still both siding the Palestinian genocide.
Corbyn's making a new party? Based.
Common Jezza W. I always thought it was a little insulting when people said he was Britain's Bernie. Sanders would never.
Reportedly, rumour, gossip, grapevine, super secret except everyone seems to know about it and he doesn't deny it.
The rumour says it's coming "definitely in the next 12 months" because it'll need local election results in the next one if it's going to have any results for legitimacy going into the next national election to fight Reform. The only window is now.
Scottish independence and environmentalism? Believe it or not: Russian subversion plots.
"meddling in Brexit"
The EU? Also a Russian plot.
Does this finally settle the question of whether Russians are considered European?
Russia made me grow boobs at gunpoint. Please give me combat pay
Wow, if these Russian bots ever consider running for office on that platform, they've got my vote 100%
Picturing a Russian soldier at a computer talking a dysphoric teen down from suicide and helping them connect with support resources. Like, please, Russia, send us more bots, maybe we can actually get people rights.
so does the lemmy libs
Remember when Putin publicly supported Rowling for all the transphobic shit she’s said?
That was a secret signal to all his trans sleeper cells in the UK to start their psy-ops.
To liberals 'bad' people can just be every trait that, to them, is synonymous with "bad". Putin is a communist, a Nazi, an evil megalomaniac that is going to invade Europe, and has an army too stupid to function depending on what day of the week you ask.
The reality of him being a calculated, conservative dickhead that has managed to stay in power off and on for 20+ years means little to their assessment.
Crackkker lib so racist he can't accept the fact that he has the same politics as Putin so he accuses him of manufacturing a left wing movement just so they can pose as the bigger reactionary
Sounds like a "bit idea" post
I thought surely this title is an exaggeration but it's literally that bad. Anything that questions the status quo about anything, or just exists outside the majority, should be treated as a threat to national security.
Also, extremely disingenous that the state calls this guy, who is both appointed and then employed by the Home Office, an independent reviewer. They're incetivised to chose someone with whatever values and priorities matches their own, which makes it extremely concerning this is the kind of guy they went with.
Damn, it was at 88 upbears before I added one more. Felt intentional, for sure.
Russia did it.
Vladimir Putin goes into the aviary of the Kremlin to consult the orb-gazing warlock that dwells therein. Cloaked and hooded, the reanimated dickless corpse of Grigori Rasputin shuffles amongst the stacks of cages, doling out handfuls of seed from a burlap sack while the pigeons make an absolute racket. "You seek informatskaya?" Rasputin asks without pausing his labor, making bird noises and clucking while waiting for Putin to reply.
"Noskaya," Putin answers. "I need magickskaya. Spellskayas. The old shit."
"This will require a sacrifice." Rasputin rasped. "Skaya," he added quickly. He poked a bony figure at one of the pigeons rattling around the cages fighting over birdseed.
"You can haveskaya the hotdog man." Putin's answer was ice cold. Rehearsed.
Rasputin's eyes widened and he sucked air through his teeth in appraisal. "A powerful sacrifice will make a powerful effect," the words both a boast and a warning. "What is it you wish to do?"
"I want some people to think that I am making their kids gayskaya."
i lold"This will require a sacrifice." Rasputin rasped. "Skaya," he added quickly.
skaya
I would also have accepted "ski"
When our time comes.
No excuses. People like Jonathan Hall go to the wall for extremist authoritarianism.
Who needs Fascism when you have Social Democracy.
Holy shit what a terrifying article.
Took the words out my mouth
anybody saying lord sugar should have less money is a russian dezinformatsiya kompromat shadow war combatant
Oh, I had forgotten about dysinformatsoiyiya.
Fuck I hate liberals and their weird words they focus on. How many I's and Y's does zeilinskiyiyeyyiy have in his name this week?
In my country people call rando leftists „Soldateska“ its scary because it sounds russian or something (it isnt)
"The perfidious asiatic hordes have a word for [an english word]. It's [literally the same english word conjugated as a loan word]! I suspect this is because of their brainpans and their predisposition towards sneakiness and subversion!" - liberals, completely unprompted
The inevitable consequence of russia derangement syndrome
Holy shit that title isn't even an exaggeration.
holy fucking shit horseshoe theory is actually real
I’m British. They can get fucked.
"Young people who might once have been attracted to a terrorist cause are now willing to carry out sabotage for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's Russia," he will add in the John Creaney Memorial Lecture.
Time to Pivot!
From Russia, to the Middle East, to China, to Russia. 'round and 'round we go!
Could it be that people are frustrated and failed by our society, that we have left them completely directionless to die in poverty, and they are thus resorting to extremist causes?
No, it must be Russia evil. (What, no principal skinner emoji??)
