It's never "here's how you're wrong", just "this makes me uncomfortable so it's time to talk about identity categories"
I'm starting to get tired of Bad Empanada. Not that I disagree with his takes on Gaza or imperialism. It's that he has the sort of venom for Americans that I feel is him compensating for the fact that he's an Australian and thus also a product of an imperialist nation.

Hey democrats and Zohran Mamdani supporters, would you like to get angry and spiral into an abyss of cognitive dissonance? Go wash your hands and get ready to gobble down this cope❤️

'We want to get away from yearly targets', says the Government that has been missing housing targets for years.
“Why is there no annual targets in this plan?”

“Because we are focused on activation,” Minister for Housing James Browne says.

“We want to get away from yearly targets,” he adds.

Is there anyway to change what is trending on this app so that I don’t have to see what americans are distracting themselves with, like sports no else plays or some celebrity who said something, so that they don’t have to see what is happening outside their corner syrup empire?

Guess where the money for all the treats for Americans comes from
I would rather have my tax dollars spent on social programs like SNAP, universal healthcare, and tackling homelessness than funding genocides.

It's not complicated.

I'm old enough to remember when criticising the EU was framed as unacceptable
Or is it only good to blame the EU when you're scapegoating your own failures

The so-called "red tape" that needs cutting is Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael's chaotic housing policies that created and then compounded the housing crisis.

Zero point trying to blame anything or anyone else, or trying to pretend that the financialisation of housing isn't a core ideological failure.

I love how the Israelis think releasing footage of Sinwar is a good idea. It dispels every claim that they have made about cowardice, human shields, hiding etc. He was front and centre leading the resistance.

The Israeli occupation army has launched a criminal investigation, not against the soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian detainee, but against those who leaked the footage revealing the crime.

Israel murdered at least 46 children in Gaza yesterday because of the *unexplained* death of a *soldier* in Rafah.

And this is not understood by the US et al to have violated the ‘ceasefire.’
