piracy is stealing and stealing is good

Several European countries paused or restricted arms exports with Israel during its military action in Gaza.

The offensive was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, which killed about 1,200 people, while 251 others were taken to Gaza as hostages.

More than 72,330 people were then killed by Israeli military action Gaza - including 757 since the ceasefire began on 10 October 2025 - according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.

fuck the bbc - I know I shouldn’t be surprised anymore but the audacity to say “well acktually Isntreal was provoked to kill tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza (or that’s what the evil Khamas health ministry wants you to believe)” in an article about it’s invasion of Lebanon is insane

why not mention how they’ve killed hundreds of people in Lebanon - during a supposed ceasefire with Iran - so even if all those people were Hezbollah (spoilers they ain’t) it still wouldn’t be justified

at least with the likes of Fox or GBNews you know they’re wackos from the start - the fact most British people are swayed to believe anything the bbc says is a crime against critical thought

this is like saying “since rich people have plantations full of slaves I’m not freeing my one house slave until they free all of theirs”

and billionaire use the same logic btw - “sure my super yacht creates massive emissions but my personal emissions are nothing compared to 7 billion people’s emissions - so why should I reduce mine if the masses won’t reduce theirs”

What was the post about?

idk what anarchists you’re around but all the ones I hang out with are vocally pro Iran even if they dont approve of the Ayatollah on principle - but yh I’d take mls over liberals any day of the week - I feel part of it is that anarchists aren’t a solid block so while some may block shipments other might fight against what they see as oppression that on a geopolitical scale can result in helping colonial forces - idk we’re all imperfect so I hope we can recognize that and through different means still continue to erode imperialism instead of fighting with each other at the benefit of colonizers

yeah that’s fair - but I feel they serve different purposes?

like I see anarchism as a form of counterbalance to state power irrespective of where it is - without needing to be dogmatic

as in undeniably Uruguay is materially much better now than its ever been (while still being at the peak of it’s colonial project even under socialist governance)

same with Bolivia giving relative power to indigenous peoples while improving living conditions even under a corrupt government

neither is perfect but vastly better than western powers seizing their resources and wage enslaving their populations - same goes for other socialist Global South countries

and yet I see the value of anarchist “purity” criticism in that it should continue to challenge all governments when the time is right - even socialist ones - as at the end of the day we all want a stateless society - and until then I dont see why anarchism and socialism can’t strive to achieve that through productive structural tension?

bro wat - I’m yet to see a socialist party group turn up to an anti-fash protest and put themselves in harms way to protect vulnerable groups instead of standing on the side lines selling political newspapers and dipping out as soon as their leaders decide they’d like to go home

And here it is in full 4200x2800 quality 🤩

I knew the BBC was a shithole but the thousands of comments arguing that the problem is not enough people being thrown in prison for stealing chocolate is wild - Thatcher really cemented that individualistic brain rot…

Ah yet another genocide the UK is perpetuating by selling their weapons…

Building power in our proto-branches hasn’t been without its challenges. Hundreds of members in Bristol and Islington alone have signed up, but we can’t connect with them because HQ won’t give us their data. Around 60,000 people – more than have been members of a UK socialist party since the second world war – have been paying dues for months, and proto-branches have no access to that money nor clarity on where it’s going. We’ve tried to make contact with HQ to advertise meetings, grow the branch and support members, but received no response. The Grassroots Left slate we’re standing on will change that on day one, delivering members’ data and money back to them, rather than hoarding it at the top

Two competing slates have emerged: The Many, backed by Jeremy Corbyn; and The Grassroots Left, backed by Zarah Sultana, on which both of us are standing.

The Grassroots Left has endorsed both Corbyn and Sultana as co-founders, because this is not a clash of personalities between the two, as some believed it was last summer. This is about resolving a political and ideological difference about what the party should be. Do we want Your Party to be a top-down imposition of Labour 2.0? Or do we want it to be a democratic, member-led, socialist party capable of bringing about the systemic change we so desperately need?

hmm sounds rather divided but would be interesting to see

you self host your own claude llm? damn and here i thought a 14B deepseek ollama instance was good shit - how did you get access to their proprietary weights?

tldr;

Set that minimum TTL to something between 40 minutes (2400 seconds) and 1 hour; this is a perfectly reasonable range.

I like that this meme implies women and enbies write immaculate code and never regret what they’ve written before 😎

actually I do think aggregated sublemmies would be a good thing for engagement and content discovery - it seems silly that there are 4 different communities all about the same thing (eg buyfromeu)

a very respected Arab leader

you mean the guy who was caught taking £1bn in bribes from BAE for the Al-Yamamah arms deal? the guy who reportedly funded Fatah al-Islam terrorists in Lebanon? the saudi intelligence chief nicknamed “Bandar Bush” because he was so deep in the pockets of the American war machine? that’s your credible source on Palestinian leadership failures?

sorry I don’t have time to go point by point why you’ve presented a very one sided story that conveniently omits the main reason why Arab states feel reluctant to support the Palestinians - the fact they’ll have to go against the US empire and its buddies which economically and militarily outcompete them - your posturing around how its the Palestinian authorities fault they can’t have allies under an active occupation turned genocide just shrugs away responsibility from the ones that have real power onto those that have extremely limited options of resistance.

that’s a whole load of words to victim blame and say the Palestinians brought this upon themselves and that they deserve everything they’ve gotten and that it could be worse since their main “allies” are doing “worse” genocides in other countries so they should feel lucky…

you’re right - there isn’t - both are equally disgusting

ngl that’s some straight up ghoulish behaviour
