Some of you may have endured to my video message on IG yesterday and some of your were kind enough to voice your wishes for this weekends drop and it’s these two. They are available now through to Sunday. Since these are both in lieu of my birthday on Monday I will be donating all profits to Doctors Without Borders, because that’s what we do. Increasingly, the subscriptions for this newsletter are covering my expenses and with that I am extremely happy to continue making gear for the right causes. So, thank you. Hit any of those two pictures and you will be taken to the online store.
To answer the title’s question, watch the below video. I wrote at greater length about some of these topics in yesterday’s subscriber-only email but this deserves everyones attention in these frustrating times.
Since no one at the BBC is willing to stand up to their Tory controlled bosses and they refuse to give any insight, let alone coverage of the recent unrests in Northern Ireland I am going to suggest a few ideas and talking points here. Before we start, yes, I am biased and my opinion is very much pro an united Ireland without and any interference or say so from my so called home back in England. Our entire existence in Ireland is criminal, immoral and needs not only be made history, but our crimes committed need to be dealt with the most painful ( reparations as a start, hit the bastards where it hurts them most ) way possible. With that, contextually, we all know how fragile the Good Friday Peace Agreement was and to say that simply because a few politicians cared for good optics that peace in Northern Ireland can only be achieved with unification. Due to the severity of zero fucks given by the English Tories post Brexit in regards to the status of Northern Ireland, unrest has been brewing. Now, it would be way too easy to blame the violence on this single issue. Without giving away too much, I am going to link the below image to a Belfast based account over on IG that talks with more authority than I can. This is important, and I urge you to read the entire thread and more importantly think on this: Always suspect and question your “leaders”, no matter how “right” you think the cause is. Wavering power is a dangerous reality to ego-driven power activists. Think on that.
I am not entirely if anyone picked up this story, it certainly didn’t make the news here but I found it extremely worthwhile, because the science behind it is correct and the conclusions drawn are very valuable to our causes. Essentially, political scientist Robert Pape concluded that the majority of people involved in the January 6th storming of the US capitol were not the poor white trash the establishment would like us to believe, but were predominantly white, “middle” class people, brainwashed to the max aka, in our therms, the fucking Bourgeois:
But instead he found something very different: Most of the people who took part in the assault came from places, his polling and demographic data showed, that were awash in fears that the rights of minorities and immigrants were crowding out the rights of white people in American politics and culture.
Again, I have linked an article in a more right wing paper - the New York Times - so you can take it from them, and not me.
Not entirely sure how the below facts don’t give cause for immediate revolutions in the state of West Virginia, especially with their history of doing precisely that, but again, linked the below article simply as a further proof that whatever the fuck they are doing over there, cannot, even by wildest stretch of TruthSpeak be called “Democracy” and simply needs to end. Now.
I am going to leave you with a selection of highlights from the fuckening. There is heaps more that I would like to post, but yet again, the limitations of tech are what they are and there is a size count on these emails.
From my German Lefty Twitter Bubble, simply had to share this one with you, because, it slaps, I wholeheartedly support it and here is the translation:
