Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial.
Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

Can you imagine how explosively the right would shit themselves if a group of Muslims were driving around London impersonating police officers and intimidating non-Muslims under the justification of countering Islamophobia? The shrieking about "Sharia law" would shatter glass.
On patrol with London's Shomrim - the capital's Jewish community protection volunteer group
With antisemitism on the rise, Sky News has been given rare access to Shomrim – a volunteer patrol group from the Jewish community in northwest London.
Sky's @LisaatSky spent an hour with Shomrim as they responded to calls on the streets, stepping in to defuse confrontations.

You're telling me that they don't care for Marx in the department that exists to train people to be cheerleaders for capitalism?
No way. I don't believe it

Marx is actually far more popular in English and history departments than economics departments, which is telling.

I talked to a woman in Gaza this week and I was the first Jew she ever talked to who wasn’t an Israeli solider.
So when I asked who made the hole in her ceiling and she said “you did”. I got that she wasn’t being antisemitic.

In Palestine, we call Jews “Jews” because they are Jews. Hope that helps.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

In fifty years' time all of Keynes' stupid economic ideas will be dead and forgotten and he'll just be remembered as a child rapist.
"I'm leaving for Egypt … I shall get as far as Luxor; and have just heard that 'bed and boy' is prepared. I'm travelling luxe and feel very magnificent."
-John Maynard Keynes, letter to his gay lover Giles Lytton Strachey (6 May 1913).
