• Stockholm syndrome
• Domestic violence

Truly boggles my mind.

I appreciate you looking out and honestly I’ve been trying to push the boundaries of what you can say online lately and seeing if I get any knocks on the door, although I feel this stuff would only be discovered after the fact, and I actually went postal. Rather than someone coming to check I’m not insane.

At some point though I do believe that violence is the only answer to an oppressive system and I would happily lose my freedom in service to my end goals. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that and we can spread awareness about more progressive policies.

I have this debate all the time in the Uk pushing my leftist ideals and I’m always met with it won’t work rah rah rah. And I’m like well maybe we could try because for the last 42 years of my life of unfettered capitalism things have gotten worse and worse for most people so clearly this isn’t working so let’s just try something radical for 5 fucking years aye.

I’m not even capping but if the greens don’t get elected next election there’s a none zero chance i am going to throw my life away by murdering people of the elite class because the alternative is to just plod along and nothing changes.

I’m doing alright too. But I care about all people and we should judge our society on how we treat the poorest in it. I will fucking die on this hill, just depends how many I take with me.

Then they’ll say they’ll leave the country, as they say here in the UK. And to that I say… AND? I don’t want a load of freeloading companies or billionaires. If you can get rich using public stuff like roads and stuff then you should want to contribute.

I’m happy to pay taxes for the betterment of society, I just want the wealthiest to pay their fair fucking share. How radical of me.

Funny as the Greens are running on this now and you can see people attacking them on appearance and other silly things because you really can’t attack their policies.

Fuck you Jeremy Clarkson for talking about poor teeth as if that’s a prerequisite for being a good person.

Hey Pete I’m an enemy of your country and I might even be plotting to take out JD Vance.

Come at me you fucking sausage. I’m going to bring Jihad against the whole of America. 😂

Every fucking inbred that I’ve pushed back on with their anti immigration rhetoric is a bloody clown.

• Them: sick of them coming here on boats.
• Me: How do you apply for asylum in the UK?
• Them: Dunno.
• Me: Ah, great. So you actually have to be on British soil to make an application. So doesn’t it seem like a simple solution is to allow for people to apply from outside the country?
• Them: sick of them coming here on boats.

Or ask them how many people apply for asylum and how many get accepted, or how rigorous the process is. Crickets. Ask them how much we spend on asylum (negligible amount) crickets.

Now I don’t believe these people are all racist. They’ve just been lied to and sadly we have to reach them with compassion rather than belittling them. I’ve had success with one friend who I now see calling out other people we know.

Then I think it’s a waste of energy for so many people to be this obsessed. We should be focusing on wealth inequality in my opinion and anything not in service of that is a distraction.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not telling people what they can and cannot be mad about, more in the grand scheme of things is trivial and we don’t even know if there was anything particularly crazy in there.

For what it’s worth “Trump fucks kids” he can try sue me, but if he does I’ll hunt him down and shoot him in his face. I wonder if MI5 are reading this and will turn me in to Trump.

Edit: I love that you just get downvoted here but nobody will directly challenge your thoughts. Just downvote and move along. Really not constructive at all.

Listen. Nobody is releasing those files ever. Either because the Republicans over played their hands and realised actually there is nothing really here.

Or it’s bi-partisan and the party not in power will shout about it until they get in power and then go quiet.

I lean towards number 1, based on Occam’s Razor.

Let’s not pretend it was anything different Under any other president. Y’all are just blood thirsty maniacs. Not all of you but too damn many.

The fuck you want me to do about it

Not get all mad in a meme community for one. I do agree though that it ain’t your problem, so maybe you didn’t need to reply to this meme.

Heck you think I’m out here calling people out for calling British food bland. Nope just move along.

He has the second highest figures for late night behind Colbert.

Don’t think many people in here have those. I certainly don’t and don’t shop at massive corporations either if I can help it.

Let’s reverse the roles. Would you support the genocide of Israel to root out some terrorist?

All the while you’re making new terrorists by killing innocent people. If you killed my family you best believe I would join Hamas.

No that much isn’t clear. For Christ sake this is no better than what goes on on r/conservative.

We do not know. He might have rebelled from his family for all we know. He might be indifferent to both sides and think we’re both divisive and he might have killed Hasan just as easily.

It’s probable that it’s more someone on the right but we don’t clearly know anything and anybody saying they do is either biased or just looking to blame the other side and not actually find out the truth.

But you can’t know that. The killer might have amnesia.

Thank you. I’ve not heard of those.

Did you say his father has been pictured in those clothes as that does say a lot about the father. Also makes me wonder how that would lead to their kid killing someone I would deem as far right.

Firstly I’ll say I’m obviously outside your area if the world so perhaps I just don’t know how far gone the right are and I’m biased from my own perspective here.

Let me ask you this though, do you think removing those people from your life makes a difference to anybody but you and them. Are you changing the world or just pushing them to be more radical due to being pushed out by people.

No judgement with the above as you have to do what is best for you first and I understand that. I just wonder about how change could ever happen over there is nobody is willing to engage. I like to think that the only war should be a class war and anything that isn’t in support of that just detracts from my goal.

I don’t for a second believe that everybody that votes republican or conservative over here is an evil terrible person. I just think they’ve been radicalised. I think my entire comment history here over the last two years shows I am a liberal but I really fear we are just in an echo chamber in this place and no change is possible because everybody we engage with is already on board.

All we know is his parents are republicans and i, maybe naively, believe there are people that align with some of their values but are not terminally online like us that don’t see everything and i believe those people can be reasoned with.

You’re correct about my being from outside the USA, but the instance is arbitrary as accidentally joined a German one. I’m from the UK.

I know for a fact that people for instance that support Nigel Farage here are not all racists as sadly I’m surrounded by them. These people have just been tied to about who the boogeyman is and they’re not inherently bad people, just ignorant. I’ve been able to work in my closest friend and even see him pushing back on shaky narratives from the right now.

I’ve lost my train of thought now but what I’m saying is I think that there is more nuance than just they evil and we should shun them because that does nothing but radicalise both sides and I’m not comfortable with that.

Happy to share my source. I don’t really know which way it tends to lean as I’ve not read it for many years. It used to be the free newspaper we got on buses and trains in my city.

The only reason I chose the link is due to it being the one punished shortest time ago. But we will see. And I’m not tying to whitewash maga. Just trying to wait until the actual truth comes out and not jumping to conclusions like the person in this tweet.

I’ve only seen credible reports that his family were Republicans but didn’t seem overtly political on their socials.

Calling a dude far right when we don’t actually know that is no better than them saying it was a liberal. All we know is republican but moderate parents, who went to a Mormon church and he didn’t vote for republicans or democrats. It seems more likely that it’s someone who did this because they didn’t agree with Charlie Kirk rather than for political reasons.

I would like to hold myself to same standards I would hold anybody else, whether or not I agree with them politically is irrelevant.

Right. I see people here, who I share a lot of the same views with, as doing the same as the extreme right and just running with whatever is trending and not actually looking for the truth.

We can’t trust anything that is said by the media until we learn the actual full details.
