If they weren't such weasels and actually agrued back rather than just ban people like the spineless dimwit twats they are, I'd say the argument that they are easily filtered holds. But given they are just looking to propagate their shilling for Russia, trump (and they definitely do this) etc... fuck em!

And so castles made of sand... melts into the sea... eventually...

Internally in the UK, the BBC brought in quota to hire more right wing comedians after it was found they aren't funny

This was by Tim Davie the director general, a very generous Tory donor

The BBC has been fully captured and the stuff that comes out of it is as biased as any of the right wing media outlets (which is pretty all major outlets now), but done in a plummy(1) way that seems to get past a lot of peoples bullshit detention

explaining “wallpaper” to the currents in the ocean…

If this isn't just a saying I haven't heard of, I'm doing my best to make it a common place phrase, absolutely perfect in this context!

Well, what I seen this image as was the classic divide and conquer strategy of the capitalist classes against the working class and/or arbitrary race category to enable them to control and/or murder at will.

However, this image is actually a complete gas lighting exercise in using toxic characteristics from capitalism to describe communism. I didn't notice the hammer and sickle, which to be fair makes no fucking sense...

The relevance to the above post was really trying to play on

"The Production of too many useful things results in too many useless people"

which I take as a satirical poke at the deficiencies of capitalism, although it's of unknown origin as far as I know..

If automation does reach a point where labour isn't needed, then it may well encourage the likes of Murdoch et al to intensify the encouragement of class war.

Sorry, I clearly don't pay enough attention to the shit I post :(

Or a more complete solution to you having a problem with it would be you being in the tiny percentage.
