Greenseer (Dionne/Dee) 🩷🐇🏳️‍⚧️Is there anything worse than a devout servant of Capitalism who inflicts the same vicious, exploitative suffering that any sneering, openly corrupt servant of Capitalism would, but does so while pretending it's different because they care and done for the good of all?Nothing's worse than that gaslightingI really don't do hate.

Greenseer (Dionne/Dee) 🩷🐇🏳️‍⚧️Just popped in to share a thought..The 'and the other party is even worse' trope is breaking down in the UK. If <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/UKLabour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKLabour</a> edged any further to the right, they'd overtake the Tory Party. They even struggle to produce compassionate rhetoric these days. From policy on trans, to the long term sick, to Israel, they vie with the ToriesBut this is my point - politics in the UK is rancid. Heartbreaking. Soul-destroying. When I joyously share sheep pics anyway.. that's my 'big fuck you', not denial 🖕

ohanditdidntgoStamer is learning rather quickly that no matter how much you try, the British media establishment *will always* go after a Labour leader. Doesn't matter how much you think you've cosied up to them, they're going to try and rip your throat out. Brown, Miliband and Corbyn all found that out, I guess it's Kiers turn now.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKPolitics</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/UKLabour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKLabour</a>
