What is more silent than the silence over the USA's plunge into Fascism and its opening of militarised concentration camps in 3rd countries on a mass scale, to hold, degrade and abuse otherwise innocent immigrants with no due legal process
There are bourgois mutterings in the media, that's true, but the silence is in the lack of any heartfelt connection to the reality and scale of the crimes against humanity that are unfolding. The silence is from their hearts

Yes, I wanted to reach a wider crowd, but did not do it casually or 'just for clicks'
I completely sympathise with the need to protect mental health at times, and not be exposed to certain news stories, but there is a balance to be struck. My balance was to use USpol and hope those people filter
But this is about concentration camps. Peace of mind isn't an option. They'll come for you eventually

The US is long past the opening salvos in its, shall we say, "migration difficulties".

sadly we have an English government that is copying them step for step.
We are over the edge of the abyss, just not dropping as fast.
when Police Storm a Quaker meeting house to arrest people for 'conspiracy to commit Public Nuisance' we are already into fascism.

in reply to Estarriol, lucozade dragon • • •@Thebratdragon @alexadeswift Yes, this is all true. And the fact that it's happening under a Labour Government speaks volumes about the fakeness of our democracy and Labour as a real party, independent of the UK State and monied interests that own it
I don't buy that they are just ignorant or showing poor judgement. This is a setup

in reply to Alexa Devreux-Swift • • •unless you heavily increase taxes on pasive income, the wealth of the richest will always increase. Most millionaires and all billionaires get he majority of their income through owning stuff, not through work.
The trouble with a "wealth tax" is that the majority of what the wealthy own has a subjective value, and you will find that things are suddenly valued at a much lower level once that value is taxed. Not that I think it shouldn't be tried.
