What most people draw from this graph is how we all just need to join unions. But the union no one mentions in this discussion is the Soviet Union.

The Republican party is not red!
Fuck this appropriation.

Red is the color of the proletariat and blue is the colour of the hated bourgeoisie and their liberal functionaries. This inversion happened because of American election broadcasts in the 1980s.

The workers movement ISN'T BLUE, it's red!

Reminder that Australia too is a settler colony that sought over many years to erase its indigenous inhabitants.

Zionists are truly vile human beings. Here's that "Disturbed" zunt who was bitching about Bob Vylan over the weekend.

Anyway, in an effort to be fair and even-handed, let me just say anyone who makes it their business to autograph BOMBS needs to be taken on a short voyage to visit the Titanic.

After 30 generations everyone from the Continent is related to every other and consequently related to every monarch that has living descendants today.

If you're of European descent, congratulations, you're royal.

Any person of European descent has a direct connection to monarchy.

Every single European, it's not special. This is called "pedigree collapse" and it's a well-known statistical phenomenon.

The real story of Australia's settlement.

It was always a business.

A smarter president would have been able to say "no" to the Israeli/MIC double-cross that led to war with Iran.

But smarter presidents don't survive long in office.

JFK said "no" to an invasion of Cuba after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. The pigs (of war) never forgave him for it.

Trump tries to claim the Nordstream 2 bombing as his own work.

Clearly it was Biden's work but who cares? America obviously did it and fucked Germany's economy. It was an act of industrial sabotage and terrorism.

Federal election coming up in Australia. Looking for the Leftiest Left Lefty Commie Commo fucking dirty Red bastard candidate standing!

Reality: it'll probably just be some nice and liberal greenie green candidate fighting some epic battle against "inappropriate development".

Class A trolling.

I love this because of all the NASA skeptics who are now torn between taking credit for the moon landing and denying that it even happened! 😂

Even after all these years they're *still* coming for the first line of this famous poem.

"First they came for the communists..."

They NEVER stopped coming for them, erasing them, killing them and no one ever speaks out.

The years since say 2005 have been quite amazing. The Western World never saw it coming, but those of us with a long historical view see this more or less as a restoration of the situation prior to the expansion of Western imperialism.

People are always talking about the *shifting* of the "Overton window" but why aren't they talking about the *narrowing* of the Overton window?

This whole "window of socially acceptable political discourse" thing needs to be examined.

Who fucking gets to decide that?
