Fighting the forces of evil one social media post at a time. He/Him. Scottish not British. Treat others as you would want to be treated. But if you spout any religious nonsense, while I'll try and be civil, no promises. #wealth_tax_or_guillotines

That wasn't yesterday.

Scotland needs independence ASAP. Why are so many people taken in by Reform.
Fartrage makes me want to pick up a rifle.

Yeah I'm too old for TicTok but that's where the young people are. Or they were. Hard to keep up.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 5h

Thanks, added.
They need to get on TicTok. Farage has more followers than all the rest combined I believe.

Ah I looked for them. Will look again. Cheers.

I appreciate that. But they don't seem to be doing much in terms of messaging. At least Zack is on Bluesky.
Doesn't matter anyway. No matter what I vote, my area is blue. Sadly.

What's the alternative? The Scottish branch of an English party? Although that might not be so bad in the case of the Greens.

Aiding in genocide....

Someone put a Reform leaflet through my door yesterday. I went out looking for them but they were already gone. Might have been the postie ofc.
These people are dangerous and we need to fight back.
I'm very close to being ready to pick up a rifle.

Russia has been employing asymmetrical warfare for ages. Surely our security services are looking into Russian influence?

Well Trump was involved so what did you expect? I usually go with the complete opposite of whatever nonsense he's spewing.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

Good. Thanks for the enlightened reply. Go back to your cognitive bias echo chamber I guess.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

I don't follow. What?

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

The pair of them can fuck right off. God forbid they should do something useful to earn their wages.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

Yep. I joked about a similar point before I saw this.

To blow up the energy pipelines? May as well take the water ones out while we're at it.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

But she got us a great deal in the EU. So at least we have that. Oh wait...

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

Hands up if you shorted the dollar as soon as Trump was re-elected.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

You should legalise cannabis for sure. It's everywhere anyway. May as well tax it.

The doomsday preppers?

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

There is no economic reason for austerity.
Enough already!
I'm about ready to rise up. How about you?

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

...will have nothing to lose. And we all (should) know what happens then.

Wealth tax or guillotines.

Scottish_Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @border304.bsky.social · 1d

Of course it is. Aging population, declining birth rate and plenty of space for immigrants.
If the super rich paid a fair amount of tax, they'd still have more than they could ever spend and we could level up the rest of the country.
We're fast approaching the point where the working class..

This is the start of civil war 2.0. States protecting citizens from Trump's masked thugs.
Those doomsday preppers are starting to look pretty sane right about now.
