I thought 9/11 was largely believed to happen because the USA is an imperialist warmongering shit causing mass suffering around the world and this was a response to that? Albeit, a terrible response, creating mass suffering to tackle mass suffering, but a response nonetheless.

Agencies either being incapable or incompetent to share information is perhaps how it happened, but not why it happened.

Do we know why Aquila refused?

Intentions vs actions.

All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption.

Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they're told.

they can always stop being Nazis

I think that's something a lot of right wing people struggle to comprehend.

Left wing violence is targeted toward those who would do us harm, i.e. Nazis. It's self defence.

Right wing violence is targeted toward those who they believe is causing harm. In their minds it's the same justification, self defence.

The difference is you can choose to be intolerant or not, you can choose to treat others with kindness or not, you can choose to be a Nazi or not. You can't choose whether you're gay, black, trans, disabled, Jewish, whatever form of "other" they have chosen.

Obviously there's also the fact that being "other" isn't harmful in any way. But that's a separate rabbithole of delusion that needs tackled.

Scots is common throughout the country. There's also a local variant in the north east called Doric which to others is near impossible to understand. It's perhaps more rural only, although there's certainly still people in Aberdeen that speak it.

Do you know where in Scotland this person was from? That might help narrow it down.

Was there a lot of Fs? In Doric the "wh" from English questions is changed to an F.

What? - Fit?
Where? - Far?
When? - Fan?
How? - Foo?
Why? - often how is asked to mean why, or just fit why will be asked

If you are in a Doric shoe shop you can legitimately ask "Fit fit fits fit fit?" which means "Which foot fits which foot?"

I recommend you give this book a read, it goes into detail as to how this most certainly is victim blaming.

Edit:

I just remembered a thing I saw to help visualise how much of our public space has been dedicated to death. It was created for a Swedish speed reduction campaign

This appears to have been under the previous Conservative government.

However, with the actions of the current Labour government against pro-Palestine groups and supporters it wouldn't surprise me if they are doing similar.

Westminster is full of scumbags. Scottish independence can't come fast enough. Fuck the union, fuck this racist, classist, moralless, support of genocide. Fuck the intimidation of war crimes prosecutors. David Cameron should be prosecuted as an accessory to genocide for doing so.

Looking at the Orange Order I think we know which side is on the far right, sorry, right

I have reported the post a) for misinformation b) for being from a source so unreliable Wikipedia has banned it c) from a source that is racist and supported the literal 20th century German Nazi party

I included your Guardian link as evidence of the misinformation

The upvote/downvote ratio is beyond recovery now so I encourage others to do the same.
