    Is that 2 thirds getting off the couch and doing anything? Interesting that the western world can sanction countries under the logic that people can pressure the governments. But when it’s time for pressuring their own, well… suddenly it’s time to get indignant about casting aspersions. At least the French riot. Maybe the UK is waiting for another bus to tell them what to believe.

      You’re calling yourself comrade but you think it’s all about individual actions and nothing to do with power?

      Fuck knows what sanctions have to do with it. Since when did ordinary people get to decide when and where sanctions are applied?

      Empty posturing, finger-wagging, sneering. Great tools for building solidarity ‘comrade’.

          If you cannot be arsed to think about how power works, there is no helping you.

          Still, at least France will get its revolution. All those people out on the streets, it’s inevitable, right? So easy, the whole world would be a socialist paradise if only people weren’t so stupid and lazy and too busy keeping a roof over their heads to be more like your saintly self.

            your saintly self.

            You hopped up on the high horse first my friend.

            I was originally making a contrary joke in response to the headline. With a bit of a message tacked on about supporting strikers, semi in response to entitled behavior I’ve directly seen by people on the Canadian side of things. With a bit of natural disdain for the British thrown in of course.

            Now it’s true I’ve been a bit of a dick but you’re in the mud with me too lmao.

            there is no helping you.

            And what was it you said?

            Great tools for building solidarity

            Anyway I’m not sure we’re really on separate sides here, so much as just being nasty at this point. So peace.
