Yeah he has no shame at all. It’s only a week since he posted the AI thing with him wearing a crown and shitting on the American people.

One of those guys does the blindboy podcast now, it’s well worth a listen.

Yeah I guess I was thinking about pearl harbor as an attack on American assets. But yeah it’s a tricky line to draw.

Yeah, IIRC I wouldn’t say that was a war of defense but it was certainly defense of an ally. Yeah the US got blindsided, then MacArthur got it into his head that he could unite Korea and loads of American and allied soldiers died. From what I’ve read, it was a bad one. I’d highly recommend the coldest winter by David Halberstam for ppl who want to learn about this monumental fuck up.

I didn’t forget about pearl harbor, that’s why I said arguably WWII, I think that’s the last time the US experienced a military attack. I’m not including terrorism here, but you could argue 9/11 was a military strike. I wouldn’t tho.

TBF it does what it says on the tin. American hasn’t fought a defensive war in decades, arguably since WWII.

We only see each other two or three times a year and have mutually agreed not to discuss politics since the unfortunate Christmas dinner of 2016, just after the brexit referendum, when I’d had a few drinks and rose to the bait. And they always liked to bait me, knowing I was involved with direct action and am pretty hard left. They got more blowback than they anticipated. I love them, I can even understand their positions, but they’re not going to change and neither am I, so we just don’t discuss it anymore.

Yeah but they’ll be sold to multinationals.

You don’t pay taxes then?

Britain kinda had to turn insular after the world wars. I don’t know what’s happening with America but it smells like hubris. It’s pretty worrying, too.

“And now the athletes are at the starting line for the hundred meter ketamine stagger. . . They’re waiting for the starters’ gun. . . Some of them have got confused and wandered off. . .”

Shit, I play in easy mode. And I sometimes look up hints online. But yeah, I only play single player stuff so I don’t feel like I’m cheating anyone.

Because he’s a wanker.

I reckon any street artist understands that their work is temporary. It probably got more publicity by being removed. Streisand effect at work again.

Yeah, and I’ve been on some actions that have kicked off, back in the day, fighting the lines of riot police. It was fun but achieved fuck all. Yeah we need many more people involved in aggressive protests. I don’t know if that will help either, but at least we need to mobilise a broader section of the population.

Fuck me that guy looks just like me.

I never met him myself, but I know a few people who have done way back. Site crew in Bristol mostly. Rip useless Paul who had one of his rats on the side of his trailer.

Our current government is the labour party, the one of the big two that is supposed to be more left leaning. They haven’t been left leaning in twenty years, they crept to centrist and now the creep to the right continues. They’re not dissimilar from the democrats in America. Internationally, there seems to be a general move towards the right and we are certainly following it. Demonstrations and activism don’t seem to help. Shit is fucked, basically.

I got banned for the same reason after a comment that contained a direct, attributed quote from Donald trump. TBF he is a hateful little shit so I probably should have known better.

Maybe it’s the myth that people who experienced abuse as kids will themselves become abusers. It’s bullshit. Sure, some do, but the majority just deal with their trauma as best they can and are regular people.

Ooh someone’s feeling defensive!
