Arrested Development "but it might work for us" meme but with Shabana Mahmood and Keir Starme photoshopped into the final frame]
Man: Some people think that if you give racists and xenophobes a bit of ground then they'll stop being bigoted
Woman: Well did it work for those people?
Man: No, it never does, I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...
Keir Starmer: ...But it might work for us.

This is one of the best threads I've read in a long time. Seriously. Don't skip any.
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

This crime is horrific on so many levels. The Jewish community that feels fear, the racists who are emboldened, the brown/Muslim community that’s demonized, and degrading hope for change under a progressive new mayor. And if a false flag, undermining the fight against real bigotry. Makes me so mad.
