“Reformer”? Status quo spear carrier who carried on the pretend to aspire but do nothing politics of Obama while throwing billions at his oligarch owners.

Hard to argue with. Biden will likely go down as the American Gorbachev: a well-meaning but inept reformer who couldn't prevent his country from being overwhelmed by a revolution into a kleptocratic mafia state https://twitter.com/waltshaub/status/1530940261785915393

child abuse, hate towards sámi, swedish colonialism, banned languages
When I was a kid, my best friend changed his last name. His dad had earlier changed his first name.
The dad was part of a minority in the north of sweden speaking Meänkieli. When the dad went to school, he was abused by his teachers for speaking his language.
The shame took such deep roots that he changed his names, because they sounded too much like of the Torne valley, the area he was born in.
It's extremely common in Sweden to be "in support" of american natives. It is very uncommon to speak of our oppression of the Sámi, and other groups. The Sámi lands, Sápmi, cover the north of Sweden, Norway, Finland and part of Russia. Their language and culture has been treated very much the same as Torne and Meänkieli, and still face a lot of oppression.
swedish people will call themselves anti-racist and point fingers abroad. We do not speak of what's happening inside our own borders.

How can you make amends when you haven’t done anything wrong? 🤔
Disaster capitalism isn’t about solving things. It’s how market obsession makes money out of misery.
Profit based logic doesn’t help people except as an accidental byproduct.

There is a tendency for disasters (including climate disasters) to be managed from the top down, and include military in the response.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the foundational ideological positions that the @Conservatives publicly claim to support, & how their actions & policies all too often run in complete & total contradiction to them.
I believe the supermarkets call this “shrink flation” pay about the same for half the amount of stuff.

People are furioius at Owen Jones for saying that they should have moral consistency.
If they're angry at Johnson for lying then they should also be angry at Starmer for the same thing. The man is a snake who broke literally every single pledge he made to become Labour leader. https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1531601781335236609

I keep seeing fan video of artists I like, which I suppose is nice
However, I'm not very tall and I'm quite often stuck behind you when you are holding your phone off blocking my view and I usually want to tell you to fuck off.
Other people do exist, yanno.
