@TuckerPost @Yellow_Doge_ @facefuklibtards That's Aaron Rose Philip, a model with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, arriving at the Met Gala. She's in her motorized wheelchair on the grounds, being moved slowly past photographers and guests while wearing a black gown. The video captures her looking around as cameras flash.

Nobody asked Britain’s permission to be successful. We just got on with it. 🏥 Running your NHS 💻 Building your tech 🏠 Out-owning you at homeownership 📚 Outperforming your children at school 💰 Highest household wealth of ANY ethnic group You told us to keep our heads down. We kept our heads down, and came back up on top. Not asking for anyone’s validation. We are @BritIndianVoice - Follow us to voice us. You’re welcome. 🇮🇳🇬🇧
British Indians Voice 🇮🇳🇬🇧@BritIndianVoice

My grandfather came to Britain in 1965. He didn’t speak much English. He worked night shifts in a factory in Birmingham. He paid his taxes. Kept his head down. Never complained. His son became a doctor. His granddaughter is a tech engineer. His great-grandchildren were born British. Three generations. Zero crime. Zero benefits fraud. Zero debt to this country. And still, STILL someone tells us to go home. Where exactly is home supposed to be? 🇮🇳🇬🇧 #BritishIndians

@QuetzalPhoenix Beautiful human dodos. I maintain Terry Pratchett had the cynicism to rise above this (until his very last <decade).

The saddest thing about Douglas Adams and the Pythons is that despite their own brilliance they genuinely and truly believed that the worst people on Earth were other middle class Englishmen.

Andrew, with respect, the arithmetic argument misses the point entirely and you know enough about politics to know why. Control does not require a majority. It never has. It requires concentration, organisation and the willingness to deploy votes as a bloc toward specific outcomes. Twenty percent distributed evenly across every constituency would be politically inert. Twenty percent concentrated in specific urban seats, voting with near unanimity on specific issues, is an entirely different proposition. On the twenty percent figure being unlikely. The Pew Research Centre projects a UK Muslim population of between 12.7 and 17.2 percent by 2050 depending on migration assumptions. Under high migration scenarios, which given current trajectories is the more realistic assumption, the figure approaches twenty percent. Muslim women average 2.9 children compared to 1.8 for non-Muslim women. The native British birth rate sits below replacement level at 1.6. Mass immigration from Muslim majority nations continues with no credible plan to reduce it. These are not scaremongering projections. They are Pew Research demographics. Now look at what six and a half percent has already produced. In Gorton and Denton the Green Party won a parliamentary by-election on Muslim bloc voting over Gaza, taking a seat Labour had held for generations. In Tower Hamlets, George Galloway built an entire political career on it. Keir Starmer cannot bring himself to proscribe the IRGC partly because of it. The entire British political class has been unwilling to name grooming gang perpetrators by their demographic profile, unwilling to enforce a single standard of policing at pro-Palestinian marches, unwilling to challenge sharia courts with the same vigour applied to equivalent offences in other communities. And there is a further dimension worth considering. Under the current electoral arithmetic, a party that successfully consolidates Muslim bloc voting in targeted urban constituencies, combined with progressive and anti-establishment support, could win sufficient parliamentary seats to form a government or hold the balance of power in a hung parliament. That government would set immigration policy, foreign policy, defence policy and the legal framework within which every institution in the country operates. You do not need a Muslim majority in the country to produce a government whose priorities, appointments and policy directions reflect the interests of a concentrated and organised minority. You need the right seats, the right arithmetic and the right moment. All three are becoming more plausible with every passing parliament. Lord Walney, the government's own former anti-extremism adviser, documented the Islamist strategy in forensic detail. It is not to win a majority. It is to make the cost of opposing specific interests high enough that mainstream politicians choose accommodation over confrontation. By that measure twenty percent concentrated in the right places would represent a structural shift in British democracy that simple arithmetic does not capture. You have spent a career understanding how power actually works. The question is not how does twenty percent equal control. The question is how much control six and a half percent has already achieved and what the trajectory looks like from here.

Osha was pretty similar to her book version but the way the show changed Shae fundamentally negated so many plot points from the book though??? I think GRRM just had a thing for Sibel tbh….
Ned Stark@FantasyWorldW1

George R.R. Martin stated that several of the show's characters were improvements over his own versions in the books in writing and performance, specifically mentioning Natalia Tena (Osha) and Sibel Kekilli (Shae).

The downwardly mobile NGO DSA creative leftist blob is self aware enough to bang the drum about ‘billionaires’ but if you pay careful attention it’s obvious a great deal of their rage and antipathy is based on lifestyle envy and directed at the kulaks and petty bourgeoisie who they believe are responsible for the humiliating constraints imposed by their downwardly mobile lifestyles (e.g. ‘affordability’). They find it endlessly upsetting to have to pay rent and property owners and landlords inspire rage even if it’s just some working class guy who scraped together enough to buy a modest multi-family unit and does all the maintenance himself more or less as a second job. The desire to force maximal extraction from property owners is based primarily on self-entitlement and aggrievement and the purpose of these ‘politics’ is to launder these resentments as something more lofty and justified. The meta narrative of all of this ideological programming is that there needs to be redistribution TO affluent people who are disappointed with life FROM people of very often modest means who have managed to organize their lives in a more economically purposeful manner.

People sort of act like they live in a fairytale in which there’s a group of privileged land owners and then on the other hand the peasants who have been locked out. But in our country what happens is we buy land with money. You aren’t granted the privilege to use it. You buy it with money, like everything else. And the title transfers. You can save up some money and go buy some land yourself. High housing prices, notwithstanding, very large shares of the country are still homeowners. It’s not like this is an extreme minority group.

What’s great about this post isn’t just the smug Redditor atheism that evidentially survived the gender transition but the confidently stated historical inaccuracy

posts like this are funny cuz sure, but jesus wasnt a real guy. theres no evidence beyond anecdotal that he was real, and most details of his life are borrowed from other religions. so its like a bunch of ppl arguing over what hercules looked like.

Ok, so let’s examine “this”… “Lower bills” - by opposing every baseload energy source that would actually lower them. You Greens have spent decades blocking nuclear, obstructing domestic gas extraction, and cheerleading an intermittent renewables buildout that has made Britain’s grid among the most expensive in the developed world. The bills are high because of people like you, not in spite of you. “Tax billionaires” - the perennial comfort blanket. Britain has roughly 170 billionaires. You could confiscate - not tax, confiscate - their entire combined wealth and it wouldn’t fund the NHS for a single year. This isn’t a fiscal policy, it’s vibes based policy. It is unserious nonsense and exists solely to virtue signal to people who don’t understand basic economics, maths, business, human incentives, first/second/third order consequences, the energy market, or the bond market. “End Rip Off Britain” - from the party whose planning objections add five figures to every new housing unit, whose regulatory instincts make it harder to build anything from a reservoir to a pylon, and whose immigration posture suppresses wages at the bottom while inflating demand for the services they claim to defend. The rip-off is the policy environment the Greens advocate for. This is a crucial part of your policymaking being purely performative and deeply insubstantial. This cuts to the heart of it, because EVERY POLICY you propose would accelerate the very crisis you claim to diagnose and seek to cure. Let me break it down for you in simple terms: 1/ Tax wealth, and capital relocates - shrinking the denominator that funds public services. 2/ Expand the state, and you absorb more labour into sectors structurally immune to productivity gains - Baumol’s cost disease made into a governing philosophy. 3/ Open the borders, and you suppress wages at the bottom while inflating demand for housing, healthcare, and education that’s already buckling. 4/ Nationalise utilities, and you embed the productivity gap permanently, funded by the same gilts market that’s already pricing in fiscal unsustainability. It’s not a remotely serious programme, it’s really nothing more than a feedback loop disguised as compassion, wrapped in vibes. 5/ “And enjoy yourself” - your only remotely honest line. Because, as those of us with functioning grey matter know, the Green Party isn’t a political movement at all. It’s a lifestyle brand and support group for people who think the economy is a ‘vibes’ exercise and that energy comes from good intentions and ‘compashun and incloosivitee ackshually’. You do not offer a programme - you offer a bumper sticker for adults who never got past the “why can’t everything just be nice” stage of political development. You are one of two things: a clownish infantile moron, or, a shameless populist opportunist. Either way you aren’t to be trusted, “Zack”. And - your own party despises you (receipts below).

@AnechoicMedia_ The only funny thing about this film is how dated it was even when it came out. Epic takedowns of Bill O'Reilly and America's Got Talent in fucking 2011.

My Jewish roommate insisted we watch this movie (God Bless America) when it came out. One of the most disturbing celebrations of faux-edgy anti-social violence ever put to film. Not because it's ultra violent, but because its reflective of a real hatred that has social approval and thinks its clever. The guy who wrote and directed this went on to be a regular panelist on NPR's biggest comedy show. It's reminiscent of George Carlin's rants fantasizing violence over mundane social slights, an impotent spitefulness within a greater conformity that can only strike out at socially approved, mostly white targets. There's only so many times you can say "imagine if the races were swapped". There isn't even a pretense of trying to benefit society through vigilantism, like right-wing power fantasy of killing criminals or parasites; only the personal grievance of a loser about what kinds of people are popular while he is not.

ABOUT ‘AFRICAN TIME’ In Ryszard Kapuściński’s Book ‘The Shadow of the Sun’, about his time in Africa, there is a chapter where he describes his own experience of ‘African Time’ when he enters a bus and has to wait many hours for it to depart - “We climb into the bus and sit down. At this point there is a risk of culture clash, of collisions and conflict. It will undoubtedly occur if the passenger is a foreigner who doesn’t know Africa. Someone like that wil start looking around, squirming, inquiring “When will the bus leave?" “What do you mean, when?” The astonished driver will reply. “It will leave when we find enough people to fill it up." The Europeans and the Africans have an entirely different concept of time. In the European worldview, time exists outside man, exists objectively, and has measurable and linear characteristics. According to Newton, time is absolute: “Absolute, true, mathematical time of itself and from its own nature, it flows equably and without relation to anything external”. The European feels himself to be time’s slave, dependent on it, subject to it. To exist and function, he must observe its ironclad, inviolate laws, its inflexible principles and rules. He must need deadlines, dates, days and hours. He moves within the rigor of time and cannot exist outside them. They impose upon him their requirements and quotas. An unresolvable conflict exists between man and time, one that always ends with man’s defeat - time annihilates him. Africans apprehend time differently. For them, it is much looser concept, more open, elastic, subjective. It is a man who influences time, its shape, course and rhythm (man acting, of course, with the consent of gods and ancestors). Time is even something that that man can create outright, for time is made manifest through events, and whether an event takes place or not depends, after all, on man alone. If two armies do not engage in a battle, then that battle will not occur (in other words, time will not have revealed its presence, will not have come into being). Time appears as a result of our actions, and vanishes when we neglect or ignore it. It is something that springs to life under our influence, but falls into a state of hibernation, even non-existence, if we do not direct our energy towards it. It is a subservient, passive essence, and, most importantly, one dependent on man. The absolute opposite of time as it is understood in the European worldview. In practical terms, this means that if you go to a village where a meeting is scheduled for the afternoon but find no one at the appointed spot, asking “When will the meeting take place?" makes no sense. You know the answer: “It will take place when people come”. Therefore the African who boards a bus sits down in a vacant seat, and immediately falls into a state in which he spends a great portion of his life: a benumbed waiting.”

Nerdy men (even the black/brown ones) who liked lolis were not "marginalized" enough for them but now that lesbians are on the receiving end of the "Epstein ahh Diddyblud" beating stick it's gotta become a national state of emergency or else.
Claire ⚢🔆🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦✡️🇵🇸🔞 (LDA Arc 78/100)@ClaireXenoatDay

Epstein was the most powerful child sex trafficker in modern history and ruined the lives of an infinitesimally enormous number of people, and the only thing you morons care about is that you have another marginalized group you can accuse of being full of "Diddy ahh bluds."
