This appears to have been under the previous Conservative government.

However, with the actions of the current Labour government against pro-Palestine groups and supporters it wouldn’t surprise me if they are doing similar.

Westminster is full of scumbags. Scottish independence can’t come fast enough. Fuck the union, fuck this racist, classist, moralless, support of genocide. Fuck the intimidation of war crimes prosecutors. David Cameron should be prosecuted as an accessory to genocide for doing so.

Go do 20 minutes on your paper.

What’s 20 minutes?

You got this!

Life is fucking hard, but a step at a time can make it more bearable. I believe in you SexualPolytope

This is a memes page…

Being part of the racket has nothing to do with it. It could be an advert for anarcho-communists and it would still be an advert.

I specifically said I have no problem with it. But a signature is still a form of advertising and there was a complaint that it wasn’t shown, which I just thought was funny considering the premise.

I think it should be the norm to display a discrete signature on comics. I just thought it was a funny comment in this specific scenario.

What a way to kill the fun.

Whoever cropped the… advert?

(I have no issue with signatures, there’s more to their purpose than just to advertise. But they are also a bit of an advert so it’s funny considering the message of the comic.)

Because of capitalist policies or because of advancements in science, engineering, and medicine culminating around the same time that just happened to coincide with capitalism’s birth?

Capitalism only benefits capitalists.

Fewer people are poor despite the capitalists, not because of.

Their giant hoards of wealth exemplify how many more could have been pulled out of poverty in the last 100-150 years.

I noticed a lack of Taskmaster in your list. If you haven’t already seen it, you’re in for a treat.

It doesn’t say refuse work. It says refuse the concept that a person’s worth is linked to how much or what type of work they perform.

Worth as in human worth, not monetary value. Social standing, respect, etc

Not in the UK, which this thread is about.

The NHS provides healthcare free at the point of service, for all.

Not everywhere is the United States of Fascist America.

I went through some eye surgeries and really needed a dark mode. But I couldnt get a dark mode in which buttons still were cleary visible.
I am sure if I search forums, git issues and documentation something usefull will turn up.

Because it’s clutter and annoying to see “Heyyy, is jellyfin a good video app?” ad nauseam, when a simple search would answer their question faster and without wasting everyone’s time and energy.

Modlogs are visible, if there’s truly a censorship issue then we’re free to upsticks and move to another community. That’s the advantage of the Fediverse.

Pfft, the wayback machine saves 1,200,000,000,000,000 bits every day! That’s way more impressive then your piddly 150,000,000,000,000.

Huh, I never realised it could be so simple. Time to hunt down some guides, ta!

Do you mind giving more details about this magic mirror thing?

I have an old tablet lying around, not being used, and that sounds handy.

The United States is the most populous country in the Americas and the Western Hemisphere, with a projected population of 342,034,432 on July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.[1] With about 4% of the world’s population, it is the third most populous country.

2-3 attempts on a fascist causing mass suffering throughout the country and world doesn’t sound like much when put in the context of 340 million people.

But assassination is the extreme end, even within the realms of legality there has been very little done to stop Trump. I can understand why, from within the Republican party, because his gain is their gain. But from everyone else, Democrat or not? I cannot grasp that.

Brazil dealt with their dictator problem, South Korea dealt with their dictator problem.

Why can’t the supposed greatest, free-est, richest, country on the planet, with a supposed constitution and government system set up specifically to prevent tyrants, do it?

Could it be, America isn’t the country it says it is? Could it be there needs to be a global shift on American exceptionalism? From both within and without the country.

That’s fair, but that’s due to politics.

Wealth and quality of life are hugely dependent upon the politics of a place.

Which form of politics is correct is a debate that has existed since forever, but there’s no getting away from the fact that politics determines wealth, quality of life, and ultimately whether people wish to immigrate, emigrate, or stay put.

Well, that and the weather 😝

If that’s the case why is it record numbers now?

Australia has had mineral wealth for a very long time, that’s nothing new.

Considering how much work I’ve seen colleagues do in an entire day, 20 mins of work at ADHD pace probably about covers 8 hours.

Hang on, wait wait wait, so I can’t trust the word of the Times of Israel to be fully factual, unbiased, and without agenda?

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

The word cult is derived from the Latin term cultus, which means ‘worship’.[1] In modern English the term cult is generally a pejorative, carrying derogatory connotations.[2] The term is variously applied to abusive or coercive groups of many categories, including gangs, organized crime, and terrorist organizations.[3]

Sociological classifications of religious movements may identify a cult as a social group with socially deviant or novel beliefs and practices,[5] although this is often unclear.[6][7] Other researchers present a less-organized picture of cults, saying that they arise spontaneously around novel beliefs and practices.[8]

In its pejorative sense, the term is often used for new religious movements and other social groups defined by their unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals,[11] or their group belief in a particular person, object, or goal. This sense of the term is weakly defined, having divergent definitions both in popular culture and in academia, where it has been an ongoing source of contention among scholars across several fields of study.[12][13] According to Susannah Crockford, “[t]he word ‘cult’ is a shapeshifter, semantically morphing with the intentions of whoever uses it. As an analytical term, it resists rigorous definition.” She argues that the least subjective definition of cult refers to a religion or religion-like group “self-consciously building a new form of society”, but that the rest of society rejects as unacceptable.[14]

🤷‍♂️ It seems to fit?

Although the article does then continue with:

The term cult has been criticized as lacking “scholarly rigour”; Benjamin E. Zeller stated “[l]abelling any group with which one disagrees and considers deviant as a cult may be a common occurrence, but it is not scholarship”.[15] Religious scholar Catherine Wessinger argued the term was dehumanizing of the people within the group, as well as their children; following the Waco siege, it was argued by some scholars that the defining of the Branch Davidians as a cult by the media, government and former members is a significant factor as to what led to the deaths.[16] However, it has also been viewed as empowering for ex-members of groups who have had traumatic experiences.[15] The term was noted to carry “considerable cultural legitimacy”.[17]
