Global Politics - General Chat

[Aragorn]

The UK's swing to the right is both concerning and deeply unsurprising. I still remember in 2014 one of the reasons I voted yes in the Scottish Indy Referendum was because I could see the UK (England especially) swinging to the right, and I didn't want to be part of it. Maybe we'd be screwed no matter what we did, but there seemed to at least be a chance of escaping it.

In regards to current events in the ME, one of the reasons MGSF came back into mind was that I had a bit of a run in with a member in the DC private chat because I made a pretty broad/blunt statement of condemnation towards Israel for what happened in 2014. UN peacekeepers needed to be on the ground as soon as October 7th happened, because it was pretty clear the direction that Bibi and his government were going to go in...

Old MGSF was overrun with bootlicking mongrels for the settler colony. Even when I was far less politically literate it stuck out like a sore thumb how even bleeding heart liberals would suddenly take pretty hard line stances on Israel (funny enough, one of them turned into a full blown fascist). In general most discourse around the Middle East is functionally illiterate because everyone either believes in divide & conquer federalism or plain imperialism dressed in blue or red.

Palestine has been and always will be a moral and ethical compass and the battleground to end battlegrounds in the fight against global imperialism and western hegemony; and for all that has transpired since October 7 it was at least made it clear to the naked eye that there are no middle grounds.
