Amazing how this shithole country can never afford to fund its public services properly, but it can always find money to put into wars, dodgy contracts for government connections, and kissing the monarchy's festering arse.
Nah but there’s a dark comedy in the anti monarchy Republic organization being totally okay with BLM and Just Stop Oil protestors being arrested and hauled off to prison and are only now realizing that the same laws that target those peaceful protestors can also be used to arrest them for peaceful protest.
Intersectionality is so poor in the UK on the whole. Working class voters striking for a fair wage will also be the same folks who buy into anti-immigrant rhetoric and vote for Brexit. The only way to get a fair and equal society is to join hands and to recognize that Capitalism is king and the corrupt/greedy government heading towards fascism is all about them and how to line their pockets. And if you cheer on laws that target minority groups, one day those same laws will be used to target you.
My heart goes out to all the people living in Dublin. This is horrifying to watch. How easy it is for f*scists to use a horrible crime to target every single person who doesn't look like them.
People leaked messages from a group chat of white supermacists asking people to go out and physically harm anyone who looks foreign in Dublin and to disturb marches happening for Palestine.
As well as siding with Is*el as an excuse to stand for genocide.
And it's happening all over Europe. This is so fucking terrifying. Please stay safe, avoid the areas where the riots take place and don't forget to remind yourselves what our ancestors fought for in 1940. All Europeans.
I've read comments on tiktok from extremists asking for foreign children to go through the same thing. These people are clinically insane.
Fascism is taking over Europe, we don't learn from our fucking history and we're destined to relive it again.
unrelated to the last post it's just really so crazy to me that i qualify for irish citizenship i just have to register myself with the gov and they are required to give it to me because my mom has been a citizen since her birth via my grandfather. like i'm not irish canadian with distant ancestors i'm literally actually irish (or will be). it's so cool im still trying to process that
I bet they do. They inadvertently granted Republic a lot more publicity than they would have got otherwise. I doubt the BBC would even have mentioned the protests if not for the arrests 🤣
Anyway for those not on my Instagram I'm organising a HR meet in London on 21st July for the 4th time! I'll put the location in the Bosovir's Bathwater discord (reply to join) for safety but it'll be in central London and accessible by tube 😎
High republic cosplay not necessary but 16+ and good vibes are please do not bring alcohol I'm not prepared to be responsible for that.
