Yeonmi_Park.jpg: "In the UK thinking wrong is a crime. Supporters of anything but the regime's official stance are labeled a hate group and prosecuted under laws they claimed to pass to protect minorities. Also if you display appreciation for certain sporting activities the regime hates you'll be thrown in prison"
The Liberals also have the authoritarian doctrine that everyone must either agree with the ideology and policies of the people in authority or move to another country from the belief that the people in authority are responsible for every good thing in the country and the belief that everyone have the wealth and connection to immigrant move to any country that they want just like the older generations of Western European diaspora who gain huge luxuries from the free riding, enslavement, experimentation, and inheritance thief of Indigenous First Nation children in Indian Residential fake schools.
So it is. I can't believe we don't have that as an emoji.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
They're trying to scare off ppl from protesting.. These are our so-called democracies every lib loves so much. In school I once learned protesting was one of our most important rights under democracies. Whatever happened to that o.O
Meanwhile incredible activists around me are losing their jobs for standing up to genocide. Hearing abt these cases just makes me wanna raise my voice even further. Tho I wouldn't know what I'd do if I literally lost all my job opportunities. Literally only cuz I stood up against the cowardly slaughter of babies. At least I did the right thing then.
Whatever happened to that o.O
You can protest as long as it support the Western narrative. Anything other than that will be labeled illegal or terrorist or something like that.
Over here in Belgium a new law is proposed that will make it illegal for everyone that has ever been labeled a 'threat' of some sort at previous protests. The law is so vague that people like several of my Union leaders, who have been convicted of bullshit charges, will not be able to protest ever again. They were arrested while fighting for better labor laws.
Meanwhile we have actually Nazis going around calling for violence in their speeches, but the are somehow not the target for this law.
..my condolences. I didn't know shit was hitting the fan like this in Belgium. This sounds so fckn illegal fr. Was that in response to the actions of the harbor unions?
In Austria the terrorism threat has been hightened; that's all I know abt. Like there's gonna be more soldiers stationed at the parliament and whatnot. Oh and it's illegal to cover your face significantly for a few years now. So at unauthorized demonstrations what might happen is police reminding ppl it's illegal to cover ones face and once the demonstrators are kettled, they might get an additional fine to the normal one. Tho if every protestor would object, any lawsuit would prolly be retracted; that is if enough ppl r affected.
They want to implement the law to tackle 'people rioting or doing other harmful activities' or some bullshit like that. But the definitions are so vague that someone blocking a road during a strike can also be arrested an trialed. So it basically limits the actions you can take while protesting or striking. And even then, someone who has been arrested during a protest or strikes loses their rights to do it in the future, regelardless of their motive. You'd effectively strip people of the right to stand up for themselves.
Now they are crumbling and the new enemies rises, so they are cracking down on even such ridiculous crap as this, paradoxally accelerating the entire process.
The way Europe is responding to Pro-Palestinian speech is making me reconsider my firmly anti-free speech stance.
Death to England
Did anyone find the poster this poster's poster posted about?
This is the point where, if I was an organiser in the UK, I would start pushing really hard for raising awareness about how the watermelon is symbolic of support for Palestine and I'd start organising watermelon-based protests, including the strategic deployment of watermelons left at the entrances to Zionist organisations.
If they want to push demonstrations for Palestine underground, so be it. Getting arrested as a prisoner of conscience in the UK isn't going to serve the interests of Palestinians.
But imagine how fragile and absurd the Zionists would look if they tried to suppress the celebration of watermelons and public watermelon eating events or if people started getting brought up on terrorism charges for "accidentally" leaving a shopping bag with a watermelon on the steps of buildings.
Not only would judges be virtually forced to throw out any charges laid against people for this stuff but it would be an absolute media coup to have big Zionist organisations playing victim by cowering in terror at a watermelon left on their steps.
1984 was supposed to be a precautionary tale, not a guidebook.
