They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”
After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”
And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

For anyone picking up Deus Ex for the glory of its original aesthetic, Kentie's launcher has done me solid for many years for high resolution+fps+fov settings.
Too many ppl start with the Revision mod, which is like listening to a remix without hearing the original song.

Over a million people protest against genocide? "Terrorist organisation, threat to freedom".
A few tens of thousands show up for a far-right extremist rally? "Free speech is alive and well".
The UK media, government, and the US oligarchy make clear what messaging it wants the UK to swallow.

Sunday protests seem to be < 500 nationwide, maybe < 300, across 4-6 locations
Yet ITV news using language of "erupt nationwide" (!)
Epping: 100-150
London: 20
Birmingham: 30
Stevenage: 30-50
Norwich: ? anything of any scale
Manchester: ? anything of any scale
