But you know that capitalism is so good because the free market ensures that there’s so much variety and choice in quality and innovation.

Well yeah. This is just cruelty for the sake of cruelty. They’re felling two systems they hate in one go.

No. White people are expats. /s

I hate the term expat.

Unsure if it's the one you're referring to, but she did an interview in Swedish and the frustration you hear from her is just as gut wrenching.

I could speak of all of the children who are no longer able to go to school, of all the children who required amputation, of all the children now orphaned. Of all of the houses and quarters that have been obliterated by bombs. I could also speak of the extreme physical abuse and the torture we were subjected to in prison. I could speak of the many bombings that our boats were attacked with on the way to Gaza. But nothing sticks! I could list all the international laws and UN conventions that Israel is breaking every day, of which we have seen a tiny, tiny piece. But this has already been said thousands of times. And like I said, it doesn't stick.

She technically says "it doesn't bite" rather than stick, but I don't think that kind of phrasing works in English. In essence, it means to have an effect. She expresses that nothing she can say will have any sort of effect, so why bother talking about it? That it's not like we're unaware of what's going on, but that we're choosing to ignore it. How no matter what atrocities we're exposed to, nothing has the effect of making those in power do something about it.

We're pouring money to Ukraine in this proxy war against Russia, which obvs. isn't a bad thing, Ukraine deserves the support. Yet our politicians are expressing none of that staunch humanitarian fervour for the Palestinians.

They did! I’m curious about the overlap between retro-gaming enthusiasts and fascists though. Do fascists really care about art and its preservation?

The one time I thought it said “nottheonion” it had to be the fucking onion.

Aww that’s awesome. It still shocks me just how marginalised the Romani are everywhere, and how quietly it’s just being brushed aside.

Oof. Copyright that shit before Disney steals your idea.

Edit: I stole that joke, but apparently it was "someone" not "Disney" and now I feel like my life is a lie.

How do we know that he isn’t? Musk proclaims a love of free speech and is a fascist. Trump has repeatedly spoken out against wars, but his wars are OK in his book.

Let’s not celebrate until we’ve crossed the river.

There's always people like that. Elon Musk's grandfather thought Hitler was a Jewish plant because he wasn't anti-semitic enough.
