Nope, because then you are hurting people who weren’t involved.

As a fan of several shows, Graham Linehan was involved with, I don’t stop watching them just because he was involved with them. I still really enjoy them and the cast’s interactions and want to support them. The cast weren’t involved or enabling his behavior. He’s generally and rightfully a pariah and persona non grata in his home country and field. As he should be.

As long as the rest of the boys didn’t enable, ignore, or perpetuate his behavior. No reason to punish them as well. Or any of the others that worked on the show and might live off residuals. It might change your feelings of the character in old episodes. And if you don’t want to deal with it. You feel what you feel. And that’s not wrong. But the show is a group effort, more than a single person.

Wow, that’s quite the way to tell everyone you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Crazy how many things are.

Who is Milieu serving? Who is he dealing austerity to? Who has your economy, like ours served. Why should it be saved? The enemy of your enemy isn’t automatically your friend.

After all, your friend is a fairly buddy buddy with those who would have been dictators. And our own fascist populist for that matter. Sending 40 billion taxpayer dollars your way to prop him up. 40 billion, which even a small segment could help a lot of our own people. 40 billion that your people will likely see less than a fraction of a percent of in the long run. As the usual suspects soak up all the resources as they always have.

Both our countries need basic living affordability. Something austerity and cutting services will never accomplish. It’s all just theater for the wealthy. Even if inflation outright stopped this instant for either of our countries. It would help neither of us. What would help us both? Housing security. Red Vienna style public housing would be a great start. Follow that up with basic food security. Both our countries could do it. But neither will. Because we’re not who they serve.

But yes, if you evaluate everything on a single axis of politics, such as right and left. Things are going to be at best linear. It’s not a useful measurement, really. Just because someone appears slightly less authoritarian doesn’t make them any more right or left.

Most libertarians won’t identity as such. Because of how completely and utterly it’s been taken by the far right. The fact that your far right could stomach voting for him, a different sect of far right. As opposed to someone on the left. Your own words betray your knowledge.

Most major world leaders have always been. Most of us can admit that. ML, like fascists however can’t.

Desalines etc there simply won’t accept the accounts of the people who were there and know what they are talking about. Whether it’s Tiananmen Square or the Han genocide of uyghurs in Xinjiang. They would scream in the face of the victims and admonish them for attacking the party. So incapable of thought on their own anymore that they would never acknowledge any of this.Without permission and instruction from the party. But if they hear a rumor about any Western nation. You better acknowledge that shit as fact. Or they will hypocritically dogpile of your ass.

What a joke. Seriously though, fuck ICE and their fascist paymasters

I suppose that depends where you are from. In the US almost no average person could tell you what the totenkoph is. Let alone ID it. Everyone could ID a swastika. Though not tell the difference between Sanskrit or Nazi.

I had to look it up to remind myself even. I’m most familiar with it as a piece of iconography the neo folk group Death In June has used several times.

I agree. That was the point. It’s theater. And Palestinians will continue to suffer in their own homes as my people have.

Considering what a joke Trump’s ceasefire has been, I expect something even flimsier like this to be even more of a joke.

Honestly, it reveals more about authoritarians and capitalists.

Oooh second strawman. Saying that a senile old man like Biden simply existing in office in 2025 could have accomplished as much as Trump is hardly a defense. You want to know what has nothing to do with Palestine? Trumps cease fire. It was violated practically within 24 hours. They’re still waiting for actual help trapped between genocidal Israel and bloodthirsty Hamas. And peacemaker Trump isn’t going to lift a finger to do anything more that he’s already done, which is nothing.

If you have nothing to have other than a straw man. Maybe you shouldn’t reply.

I know right? Literally by simply existing in office in 2025 Biden could have accomplished the same or better. Because Trump did nothing. It’s true that both of them suck. But their desperate need to continue to attack Biden. To draw attention away from the fact that they campaigned against the only viable candidates against the fascists. There by helping the fascist win. Is hilariously sad.

That’s what ML activism is. If you’re not 100% with them, you’re a target. There’s plenty historical accounts of slaughtering former allies when they became inconvenient.

While we might say all cops are bad, because the system makes it impossible for them to be good. We still generally acknowledge that many of them are basically good people as flawed as humans are. And don’t deserve death just because we disagree with them. But you’ll never get an authoritarian to agree with that.

They’ve been posting and reposting this for the last week solid iirc. Baffled that it doesn’t get much traction outside the triad. They keep retrying.

I mean, throughout all human history, this is what settlers have done. When they settled the Western United States. It was by kicking my peoples from their homes. Settlers has always been a dirty word.

Or to cities likely for that matter.

Sad but true
