Today the Guardian tells us there's such a thing as 'anti immigration leftists'.

It's very telling that the UK government refuses to acknowledge the very obvious fact that huge counter protests are what brought peace back to our streets, not a few ludicrously light sentences for fascist rioters and a very tame police response.
They really don't want you aware of your own power.

#USPolitics #Abortion
Why is it that I have never seen any US media debunk the very obvious, but often repeated Lie that there are babies being aborted at 9 months or even after birth? (Alex Jones for one example has been telling this tale for many years, it's not a new Trump line)
It seems like such an easy and obvious thing to do. Why don't they?

So, you're a journalist with a social media account. Your posts are just quotes from genocidal fascists, no comment or analysis, no context, just the words they say.
Where is the journalism in that?

Quote from Michael Rosen today:
"For a variety of reasons, I'm pretty sure that if I said that I wanted to be in the Labour Party, I wouldn't be allowed in.
Then I thought, that if I really did want to be in the Labour Party, the best route for me would be to join the Tory Party first, and then announce that I was defecting from the Tories to Labour. I'm pretty sure that would work..."
Absolutely spot on.

The number of Americans who seem unable to understand some very basic facts prompts me to say this, so apologies for stating the blaringly obvious:
1. Russia is no longer communist.
2. Communism is not synonymous with "bad"
3. Communism and Fascism are not the same thing.
4. Posting a meme with the O of GOP replaced by a communist symbol does not send any message other than "American schools are fucked up"
*edit:
For the hard of thinking, who think this is me defending the GOP:
They are Fascists and I despise them. They are likely paid being by Putin, another Fascist I despise.
Hope that's clear enough.

You think you're ridiculing Alex Jones with his 'Gay frogs' quotes and the like, but you misunderstand. Those clips are bait. It works. His detractors can't help themselves but share them for him like useful idiots.
There is no such thing as bad publicity. If you help drive traffic to his websites/ make his name trend, he wins. He only needs one visitor in a million who land on his site to be sucked in and his moneymaking evil charade continues.

#Racism is a tool.
Need public support for policies that are against the interests of all but the ruling 1%?
How do you make idiots vote against their own interests?
First, you need to package those policies as an attack on one small minority, then encourage racism towards them among the masses.
Then you manufacture grievances against that minority. (They came and took your job etc)
Then you sell the gullible
your 'solution' =
"If we can just get rid of human rights laws, we will be free to deal with this problem"
Result: Gammon arseholes lining up to vote to do away with their own human rights, while being happy to do so because they think they are hurting brown people.
* see Brexit / all of political history for references.
** the Irony is that those who use this tool are not necessarily personally racist. They hate and fear the poor, irrespective of skin colour. They just use the tool that works best.
