Good for them for taking a stand against consumerism, but their personal shopping habits (even collectively, they equal less than a drop in an ocean) aren't going to change neither climate change, nor inflation.

This idea that "every little helps" is just more of the same "personal responsibility" those who are actually responsible but refuse to be held accountable push on to the rest of the population to distract us from their own actions.

The only way to fight climate change (and be rid of the artificial concept that is inflation, which is there solely to make the rich richer) is by removing the cancer, rather than continue to apply band aids to it, and abolishing capitalism.

Why the far right is surging all over the world

Capitalism is decaying, and fascism is its inevitable conclusion. This isn't news, either: The Question of Fascism and Capitalist Decay

I think making us purchase happy, while indeed very beneficial to the owning class, is still just a side effect to the real reason (and why the 8 hour work day is a compromise people had to fight, and die, for) - keeping us tired and hungry (and not only for indulgence) and at risk of losing it all if we don't go to work tomorrow keeps us from having the time, energy, and community (because capitalism encourages crab mentality) to organise and revolt against them, and their oppressive systems.

Musk is a big proponent of this bullshit, watch them suddenly get a boost on his website, if not a bunch of funding..

Lmao, "women are perfectly capable of defending fascists too!" 🙄🤦‍♀️

Like, fuck the patriarchy and all its ills, but don't mistake this bullshit for feminism or anything that deserves any applause, it's hardly even bare minimum, and they're all a bunch of bootlickers, not heroes, whatever gender.

so why has the media chosen to ignore Trump falling asleep at the Republican convention?

Because they're on his side. Seriously, that this needs spelling out at this point is truly fucking depressing..

"Don't take a stand against fascism, because a fascist might get angry" 🙄

And I guess if you're part of a group already being targeted by angry fascists, it'd be something like "why didn't you warn us about fascism sooner?"..

Here you go:

or maybe

if you really want to capture that christofascist look

I did have a bit of a scroll to see if anyone had made a relevant graphic design, and found this: https://www.nicklacke.com/shop/p/punch-a-nazi-screenprint

but no t-shirts, so I guess it's there for you to do lol

(E: I just realised this might need clarifying - I don't mean put this person's art on t-shirts, but rather that there is very little "punch a nazi" graphic art out there, so you could take inspiration and make your own without stepping on any toes)

“Respectability” should be a swear word. Even rolling it around my tongue feels like I’m tonguing raw sewage, or maybe a particularly used condom. It implies a certain standard of behavior. To those who aim to be respectable, the standard is of civility, of fair-mindedness, of calm, reasonable debate and jovial disagreement. To those who don’t give a fuck about that bullshit, it stinks of elitist posturing, of valuing messaging over content, and of Puritan control. That’s how the scumfucks get away with it, you understand. They decry your tone, your language – not your content.

Not the thing that really matters, but the distraction of respectability and civility and propriety. Because you see, it makes them uncomfortable. They don’t like to be reminded that their policies affect real human beings. That would make it nearly impossible for some of them (not all, of course, there are some real fucking sociopaths there) to pass bills that cut welfare spending, or to authorize missile sales to Saudi Arabia

...Ultimately, a call for respectability is a call to take your beating with a smile, because you are serving the interests of their narrowly-defined democracy. But isn’t decency a good thing? Shouldn’t civility be a goal we all strive for, especially for public figures?

No.

Here’s the fucking truth – everyone is a fucking asshole, especially those who claim that they just want some “decency.” How do I know this? Because the same people who claim “civility” are the people who authorize defense appropriations for arms sales to theocrats, the people whose idea of a “humane homeless policy” is to put spikes on public benches, the people who think fascists can be defeated by hugs. Embracing “respectability” over content, and over values, is promoted primarily by those that have the privilege of ignoring the deleterious effects of said policy.

...Don’t play by the rules of the oppressor, because their rules are specifically designed to silence you, to negate you, to ignore you.

TL;DR:

I was going to say the love bombing didn't last long, but actually, this is still part of it isn't it, it's an appeal directly to New Labour's target audience, no matter how much they might deny it.

The warnings were all there, those who chose to ignore them (and gaslight those of us who wouldn't) were telling us loud and clear - they either don't care about the marginalised groups that continue to be targeted (not to derail, but disability benefits for example are getting a similar "continue where the Tories left off" treatment), or they outright support the targeting. Either way, they are no allies of mine.

Maybe actually read the article? This is right at the top:

When Kim realized she was being removed, she asked to speak with her lawyer and see paperwork authorizing the transfer, which was denied. Kim then refused to walk as commanded, at which point she was allegedly thrown to the ground by guards, who tied her ankles and wrists together and put her in the back of an SUV, she said. At Monroe Correctional Complex, Kim was put into solitary confinement, for allegedly “refusing transfer.”

She wouldn't be in solitary confinement if they hadn't moved her.
