if a deranged nazi comes in here saying something
interesting he should not be banned immediately - he can stay until he gets boring, but if a 'communist' bore comes in here spamming cliches, he should be banned at once. (for a short duration at first, escalating if he stays tedious.)
>>2414329it's bleakly funny that no matter the problem, some blair institute wanker will come along to tell you ID cards are the solution. i'm sure they'd tell you ID cards were the solution to state intrusion into your private life, if you asked.

well, as per my pedestrian sensibilities, it seemed as if race relations across the west were better 20 years ago, since they were not overtly politicised. what the radical left dont understand, which the more moderate left does, is that there should be separate spheres between civic and state institutions. when you politicise the public, you make it an object of state policy rather than a realm of free association.
when ethnicities have the capability to freely associate rather than to be guardians of political capital; when the bourgeois individual is able to flourish, then you overcome racial conflict, since you are able to see each other as equal beings. if the radical left insists that we are not individuals, but are irreducibly racial creatures who exhibit mutual otherness, then equality becomes a categorical impossibility, and you have segregation.
this is the current issue to me - i consider myself a universalist, while many are particularists. the idea that a racist and anti-racist are opposites is false, since they both buy into the same thing, just from different ends.

MPs are now using VPNs and counting it as part of their expenses, meaning we the taxpayers are funding their VPN use.
What a fucking joke.

An international network that shares online videos of cats and kittens being tortured has members in the UK, the BBC has found.
The network is thought to have thousands of members who post, share and sell graphic images and videos of cats being hurt and killed.
In one group, on an encrypted messaging app, the BBC found evidence of British members suggesting users adopt kittens from the RSPCA to mutilate.
The BBC investigation comes after two teenagers admitted torturing and killing two kittens in a park in Ruislip, north-west London, in May. They are due to be sentenced on Monday.
The 16-year-old girl, and boy, aged 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty after the kittens were found cut open and strung up. Knives, blowtorches and scissors were also found at the scene.
These groups started in China, but BBC News has identified members now active across the world, including in the UK.
The scale of the network has been documented by animal rights activists Feline Guardians.
The group says between May 2023 and May 2024, a new video showing the torture and execution of a kitten or cat was uploaded approximately every 14 hours.
It says it has documented 24 groups active this year, the largest of which had more than 1,000 members. The most active torturer is believed to have filmed the torture and killing of more than 200 cats.
Chat conversations in one group, seen by the BBC, include what appear to be UK-based accounts discussing how to get hold of cats to abuse.
One member discussed how to adopt kittens from the RSPCA and posted application forms. Another post shared an advert for kittens for sale in the UK, posting that they wanted to "torture them so bad".
Videos and photographs seen by the BBC are graphic and extremely disturbing.
They include footage of cats being drowned and electrocuted. One video speculates on how long a kitten in a cage will survive if it is not given food.
Group members appear to want to inflict as much pain as possible. In online chats, torturers explain how they use electrocution to resuscitate a cat in order to prolong suffering.
New members are encouraged to mutilate and post videos to gain access to a wider network.
The BBC saw evidence that suggested children were taking part in these groups. One member posted: "I'm 10 years old and I like to torture cats."
In September 2023, the network even promoted a "100 cat kill" competition, during which members were encouraged to see how quickly the group could torture and kill 100 cats.
Videos depicting the horrific torture of cats first went viral in China in 2023.
The man responsible for two extremely graphic videos, Wang Chaoyi, was detained for 15 days by the Chinese authorities and forced to issue a "letter of repentance".
But his footage developed a cult following and others began making similar content for Chinese and Western social media, gaining thousands of views, before groups developed on encrypted messaging apps.
"Little Winnie" is a well known name used in the cat torture community for having a profile picture that mocks the Chinese leader Xi Jinping with an image of Winnie the Pooh.
Accounts with that name and profile picture are described as administrators in a number of forums.
An activist from Feline Guardians got in touch with one of those Little Winnie accounts and lured the man behind it into an online relationship.
Eventually she persuaded the man behind the account to do a video call. From that call, the group identified a 27-year-old man living in the Japanese capital Tokyo.
Feline Guardians has held demonstrations outside the Chinese Embassy, in London, demanding that authorities in Beijing do more.
"In mainland China, there are no laws that are stopping this. So that means that abusers and torturers can effectively do what they want and live out these very sadistic fantasies without any consequence. These videos are then uploaded, and essentially that's a global problem, because that means that everyone has access to these videos. Children are seeing this," Lara said.
Johanna Baxter MP, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cats, said these groups were "a deeply worrying trend, particularly among young men".
"Animal abuse often acts as a gateway, making future acts of violence easier to rationalise and commit," she added.
