Those people really need someone to explain the concept of subtext to them.

How can you not know Superman's origin story? Apart from the comics its been retold in every major movie version too. He literally is and always was (weird retcons aside) an immigrant.

The fact they only realised it was wrong when it happened to them kind of shows they deserve nothing in the way of sympathy.

Polling consistently shows disapproval for Israeli actions in Gaza.

Oh the options are endless...Liz Kendall in an SS uniform machine-gunning a load of disabled people, Yvette Cooper in a Suffragette tee laughing as a load of anti-genocide supporters get arrested for holding signs, Keir Starmer taking a shit on the UK whilst Farage stands off to one side loosening his belt ready to go next.

Genital Shame released an awesome split with Lust Hag earlier in the year. You might also enjoy Amanda Yvng, Davghter, Electromancy, Feminazgul, Human Abyss, Karnstein and Mrs Frighthouse.

Hundreds of great tracks on both The Antifascist Black metal Network (hint, its not just Black Metal, there's playlists for Doom, Thrash, Drone, Dungeon Synth, Hardcore etc etc) and its sister channel Antifascist Steel for more non-extreme subgenres. There's also Catacombs of Heresy, ATENEO OCULTO and Brathory channels too.

All participating bands have given full permission for these channels to stream their stuff. And remember there are a few Invidious instances still up and running as well as things like FreeTube, Piped, Grayjay etc.

For anyone who's thinking UK, I'd advise not - we're about 4-5 years behind you in terms of imminent fascism and whilst there's still technically a chance to avert it, its very unlikely - especially since Starmer is being even more awful than the Tories.

It's Blair actually. His gvmt put through the changes to the Terrorism act in (I think) 2001 that has allowed this sort of thing to happen.

One of the ironies of this whole situation is that Yvette Cooper has expressed admiration for the Suffragette movement numerous times, including in the Commons. A movement that self-described as terrorists

If only Keith found it as easy to understand what the people of the country he's currently in charge of care about.

Just in case it wasn't obvious, the head of Kent Council is a Reform member.

Re-reading Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" because its the best haunted house novel ever written.

Anyone who thinks the US gvmt is building camps, destroying healthcare, destroying education, vilifying local elected leaders, making the legal system toothless etc 'for immigrants' is deluding themselves.

Not sure we ever left.

Streaming music is damaging musicians ability to remain musicians. Spotify are the worst but none of them are great. You can buy (and therefore download, own and control) a bands music from Bandcamp, Ampwall etc. You can also usually get merch there too. The only people who make good money from music streaming are music streaming executives.

Licensing will be your biggest issue as its usually done per-country. Here's PPL (uk) pricing model for example.

And here's an overview on the subject.

I don;t know about your friends but I had the glum task of removing a Misfits patch from my battle jacket when I found that out :(

Yes, I'm sure you and your large team of script writers, when putting together a piece designed to make you look hardline on immigration had no idea at all that a famous immigration hardliner/fascist often used a very, very similar phrase. And you definitely had no hopes it would be seen as a coded yet deniable dog-whistle. None at all.

This wasn't an error of ignorance, this was an error of judgement and everyone knows that.

When Reform win the next GE it will be your fault Keith.

Thats the great thing about science, you don't have to 'believe' it.

It definitely tastes different - flatter somehow. I don't know why, but it does.
