The idea that "American culture wars" are being transmitted into UK politics through "British MPs" is absurd on its face- all of these things were already present as an entirely organic result of culture moving online across the 2010s

🇨🇴 BREAKING: Colombia to exit ISDS international investment arbitration regime President Gustavo Petro announced that Colombia will withdraw from the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system, following a global call from over 220 economists and legal scholars including Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz and renowned economist Thomas Piketty. ISDS allows foreign corporations to sue governments in international tribunals over policies that affect their profits, often bypassing domestic courts and exposing states to multi-billion-dollar claims. “Several countries have already announced or have exited this type of arbitration, including the United States. I don’t see why Colombia shouldn’t do the same,” Petro said. Colombia has about $14 billion at risk in such cases, Petro said, noting that states often lose these disputes. “ISDS is bad not just because it puts transnational corporations above the environment and human rights, but because it creates a fast-track legal system that gives them unfair privileges over local businesses and because it grants those corporations ‘license to kill’ government regulations with threats of billion dollar arbitration,” Andrés Arauz of the Center for Economic and Policy Research wrote in a press release. The move aligns Colombia with countries like South Africa, India, and Indonesia that have also terminated ISDS agreements, and comes ahead of the first-ever Global Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels set to be held in Colombia in April.

Everything about official bilingualism in Canada is built on myth. People can’t “just learn” a language they don’t need. Canada isn’t “built on” two equally-sized language groups. Bilingualism isn’t “necessary” to function at an elite level. It’s all just Laurentian folklore.

British dirtbag "anti-yankism" is the most contrived "position" I've ever seen on here- you think I'm joking but it actually does revolve around imbuing various fetish objects like "pints" and "bangers and mash" with some magical negating power in opposition to a completely imaginary American influence

UN Delegates just voted to recognise the Transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity. Britain abstained. This refusal to support this motion only places our government more at odds with the global majority. The call for reparatory justice is only getting louder.
