It’s more than Starmer though, the rot is through the party. The best thing to do is accept that Labour is dying and pull away from it, don’t give them money or support, and hope that those people all move on to some other party and grift there instead. Then maybe - maybe - Labour can be rebuilt

“Yet”, they’re going to find some eventually no matter how bullshit

I wish I was a genderless lichspawn hatched from an egg…

It was nice to briefly have some hope but this whole thing just seems to be lurching towards disaster. I’ll stick with the Greens

Why is just about everybody showing themselves to be a better leader than Starmer lately? Like, I know he’s shit but I didn’t expect him to be this shit, even Badenoch has been scoring points against him easily. There’s incompetence and then there’s “Keir Starmer a year into being Prime Minister”

hotmeat89 is braver than the troops, thank you for your service O7

Nothin’ personnel, kid, heheheheheh

As I said, I’m on TERF Island - Britain - so Trump isn’t especially relevant. I’m staring down the barrel of 4 more years of increasingly transphobic Labour policy followed by a likely Reform government that could go for who knows how long, which is a long time to exist under a lot of transphobia and general bigotry. Currently the EHRC is trying to publish rules that already aim to force trans people out of public life and if that then gets backed up by government policy who knows where it could end? Especially since Reform are explicitly talking about removing us from the European Convention on Human Rights and Labour are talking about “looking into” it.

I know the majority of regular people aren’t transphobic - at worst most of them are genuinely just ignorant - but for example here on TERF Island I’m kinda worried that attempts will be made to legislate trans people away and criminalise our existence

You realise you’re trans: 🙂
While the world is a particularly transphobic hellhole: ☹️

Then you have a fun puzzle on your hands/chest

The fact that you recognise it would be a struggle should honestly spur you on even more to do it. People got by for a long time without the Internet and even though now the same infrastructure they’d have used is at best a shell of its former self if not gone entirely it would still be possible. We don’t have to stop entirely but if a bunch of sites suddenly find their traffic is way down they’d start to put pressure on about getting rid of ID checks and we might finally see some movement

They are the smiling face of coming fascism and it’s hard not to feel like we’re doomed

In a role-reversal - Reform protesters being forcibly and even violently removed from any other party conference - Farage would be crying everywhere he could about freedom of speech and censorship, he’d probably go running off to Trump to whine about it and Trump in turn would probably threaten more tariffs against us. Of course no-one is obligated to listen to speech they don’t like, and no organisation is required to give speech they don’t like a platform, my point is just the blatant hypocrisy of Temu Trump and his Tory Tribute Act

I get all the theory and everything, I understand the some grifter comes along peddling easy answers and people fall into it. But the Temu version of Trump that is Nigel Farage has such a vibe about him that he’d pick your pocket and then deny it right to your face - while holding your wallet in his hand - that I genuinely don’t understand how people trust him even slightly

Same. I know there are easy ways around it but I’m not going to use them, and I wish more people could take this attitude - if everyone cut down their Internet usage in response to this ID stuff things would quickly start to turn around

The best kind of in-joke is one that involves someone cumming in me

But I thought they were the free-speech people? 🤔

What people see in Temu Trump and Co I genuinely just will never understand

Hang on, just a few weeks ago he didn’t want to, then shortly before that he did want to. It’s almost like Temu Trump is lying all the time 🤔
