Hi there!
I think while your frustration is understandable and I feel it too, very much so (though I myself feel it in the overall direction of late stage capitalism in its entirety), in this instance you’re confusing people immigrating with those seeking asylum.
The immigration debate is a reasonable one to have, but this particular post is about people fleeing danger, persecution and death, seeking asylum, not those simply wishing to immigrate.
I know you’re right, but I’m a working class, poor, and routinely fucked over Brit, but I’m not stupid enough to fall for this nonsense.
Granted I’ve always thought people trying to get me to believe things that didn’t make much sense to me were idiots and disliked them.
They tried to sell me on religion in school, I thought it was a load of rubbish - I remember telling the priest exactly that when I was 11 and he wanted me to do my Holy Communion.
I looked at stuff like the Daily Mirror and thought it was crap, and eventually I got the Internet and started learning more, and it wasn’t too hard to use the basic critical thinking skills taught by my parents and teachers to figure rubbish from not.
That said, I’m probably wrong about loads of things and believe all sorts of propaganda and misinformation that I don’t realise, but at least the bare faced obvious lies like “It’s people seeking political asylum who are the reason the minimum wage is unlovable” are very, painfully obvious to me 😂
…like, it’s actually insulting that they would think anyone would be thick enough to fall for that.
I grew up in a dirt poor shit hole council estate in schools constantly in special measures about to be shut down, surrounded my chavs and yobbos in school who literally murdered old ladies in their homes and the like (I’m not exaggerating, sadly), and yet I’m perfectly capable of spotting this rubbish.
I know some people are extremely stupid, but surely it’s a small percentage in the grand scheme, so why do so many seemingly smart people fall for this obvious nonsense?
:-(
It belongs in a museum!
Standing still in front of a television camera man with nothing else around you, holding a microphone and talking in to the camera, while a fascist police calmly raises their gun in full view of the camera and shoots you in the back from about 10 yards away?
Also she was a woman.
…or are we talking about ANOTHER journalist they shot today? Surely there weren’t two?!
How many innocent people are they shooting, I wonder? How many are being disappeared to the American Gulags of El Salvador without a trial? The journalists at least have a voice, the others won’t be so lucky.
hahahahahaha
no
Huh, I wonder why ardupilot.org is on my PiHole block list? Weird.
Exact match for ardupilot.org found in:
Huh, I guess it’s on this list for some reason:

When they bury Starmer, do you think they’ll put him next to his beloved Thatcher?
That way we could piss on two graves for the price of one! (all admission fees go to LGBTQ+ charities)
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer does not believe transgender women are women, his official spokesman has said.
Oh damn, this is huge. He’s officially admitting to being a Transphobic Bigot. Literally.
What else in this ballpark would he like to admit to while he’s at it? Maybe he’s a Homophobe too? …What’s his stance on black people?
Also, are transgender men, men? And if so, why is it one rule for women and another for men? Is he sexist too?
On the basis of his admission of being a Bigot I would argue he is unfit to be leader of the Labour Party. I recall a Labour Prime Minister not too long ago getting angry at someone for being a Bigot… how times have changed…
I never could have predicted this outcome
before marriage? heathen!
By throwing your rubbish in a bin whilst in the USA, you are causing the city to not need to pay a litter picker to collect and throw your rubbish into a bin.
I know I’m just being silly, and I know you’re not wrong, I’m just sayin. There’s a thousand ways one could look at almost any action and suggest ways in which it is “work” if we define it as causing someone else to not have to do a job or get paid for something.
Tiny peepee Murika-mobiles…
