There's also been an uptick in Scottish Solarpunk communities, from 0 to 1, since 2021 :)

Ew, I just upvoted Reagan. Wtf.

Not to mention one person having multiple accounts for different purposes and business accounts. Instagram is big, no doubt, but not 2 billion users big

Who says car in this phrase? It's almost always bus, tram, or train.

If the idea is to avoid American, and support European. Purchasing from a middleman European company is hardly supporting European.

Most of the money ultimately still ends up in American hands, just the tiny bit of profit added on during the final sale to the consumer remains European. Everything else goes back to America.

If I sold you a packet of bananas, and told you they're Irish bananas because it's an Irish company selling them, you'd call me a liar because obviously Ireland doesn't have the climate to grow bananas. It's the same principle.

If it's not European, don't put the star on, it's pretty simple.

Just grab them as low to the ground as you can and pull them out, taking as much root with it as you can. The plant will focus its nutrients and efforts on the sections not being torn out. Any time you see another escapee, grab it and pull. They will become less frequent as the main body fleshes out and grows.

Nature doesn't like bare empty spaces so consider filling in that large empty barked area with some more crops and raspberry escapees will have some competition and become less likely as well.

Fuck 'em

America is racist.

Not every American, obviously.

But as a nation, institutionally, America is racist.

Some times it's more so than others, but it always is, to varying degrees throughout its history.

Comrades! Do not listen to these authoritarian traitors! Resist!

No Fives! No Masters!

Eat the Frog!

None of us are free, if poVoq is chained.

"This is a Christian nation"

Now I'm not American so I'm willing to be corrected here, but I'm pretty damn certain it's supposed to be a secular nation...

It's not going to stop the genocide, obviously, but would you rather they just shut up and put up with it? Would you rather they supported Israel?

This is a show of solidarity.

The more there are, the more emboldened others are to do it too. The more people condemning genocide, the more likely politicians are to do something about it. Particularly if those people have public followings of their own.

And because we have a population that doesn't give a shit about right wing racists, because huge swathes of them are also right wing racists.

On the sixth day of Hate Week, after the processions, the speeches, the shouting, the singing, the banners, the posters, the films, the waxworks, the rolling of drums and squealing of trumpets, the tramp of marching feet, the grinding of the caterpillars of tanks, the roar of massed planes, the booming of guns—after six days of this, when the great orgasm was quivering to its climax and the general hatred of Eurasia had boiled up into such delirium that if the crowd could have got their hands on the 2,000 Eurasian war-criminals who were to be publicly hanged on the last day of the proceedings, they would unquestionably have torn them to pieces—at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally.

There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy.

In my eyes a mandatory read for anybody opposed to authoritarianism.

Lol I wish. A fascist party got the third most votes at the last election.
