Not going to happen, they aren’t going to risk anything for the sake of the plebs, as long as the money keeps rolling, and we aren’t under direct threat of invasion or other annihilation which we’re unlikely to be (though likely even then…), they will maintain whatever relationships they need to.

My jaw literally just dropped reading that.

I knew Lammy, who I used to think very highly of, was slowly shifting to the right when he first backed Starmer for leader, and I’ve seen some other disappointing things from him in the run up to and since the election, but I hadn’t realised just how far gone he is, jfc.

This is what trying to fix an establishment from within looks like - to get in to positions of power, you must assimilate and serve their interests, or get purged.

Shocking enraging, I think is a better fit.

I just figured it was from a show or movie I’ve never heard of or something, don’t worry about it!

Ah, that makes more sense, thanks! 😂

I don’t get the reference, sorry… 😬

There’s only so long you can pretend not to hear when they tell you exactly who they are.

Anyone who still claims to be against fascism and considers themselves in any way left leaning, and still supports not only democrats, but the idea that the system can somehow be reformed or fixed from within, is either in complete denial or completely full of shit (because they are neither antifascist nor left leaning).

In a world where the person “advocating” a feature who isn’t actually advocating for anything at all, doesn’t even consider that not everyone on the fediverse uses lemmy, and that not everyone running lemmy has it up to date, but most importantly, calls an existing and perfectly valid and literally harmless accessibility solution “abuse” because they don’t like it for whatever reason.

Ooof, TIL…

Lets go!

This is how we build dual power, the foundations for an alternative.

the frustration in this comment isn’t directed at op

You’re good, and so are any resources that can help people get through this.

Good to know some people see accessibility as abusive…

This is definitely a you problem. Deal with it, ableist.

He was too busy endorsing Harris…

Why insist on continuing to spend all your focus and resources on participating in a system that is functioning exactly as it was designed to, and expecting different results?

If only we had the state’s monopoly on violence on our side like they do, eh…

Here’s hoping…

Oh noes!

This community really should cap upvotes at 196 to avoid this from happening in the future lol

Looks like they’ve since put it on youtube and it’s also up on dailymotion for now.
