This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The UK when desperately poor people need money: "stop asking the government for money, work hard and earn it yourself"

The UK, when a Brit actually does work hard to earn money: "no"
Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

Calling authors petit bourgeoisie is indeed insane. We are artisans and we deserve to profit from our labor.

That said, digital piracy has never been shown to represent actual lost sales, and may in fact DRIVE sales. I think authors should cool out about it.
We’re not small business owners, ffs - we’re independent contractors, and we are routinely robbed by the world’s dumbest dingbats.

All debate on the ethics of piracy aside, nothing about what this person is doing is Marxist. You're not doing Marxist analysis by calling writers and artists "petty-bourgeois", you're abusing Marxist terminology as thin cover for being an asshole to people who you for some reason despise.

Everything about this screams less "give me all your money or the economy gets it" and more "please please please give us money!"

Why does it seem like Labour are trying to be more authoritarian than the Tories on literally everything? This is shit so extreme no Tory would ever have uttered it.

TERFs are a protected class here inasmuch as they're allowed to maliciously harass *children* with the full knowledge that the state and its handmaidens in the media will protect them from legal consequences. If he wasn't a celebrity with TERF views he'd already be wasting away in a prison cell.

You're probably talking about a certain type of progressive more than "progressives" in general, but to the extent that that's happening how is anyone surprised? The British left doesn't have any values whatsoever and actively scorn people who stick up for any principles higher than wielding power.
All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

Not only is the UK not immune to right-wing Christian politics, but literally all the TERFs have been backed by right-wing Christian groups such as the Alliance Defending Freedom. They're here alright, but they lack a strong base of support so the TERFs and SWERFs do their work for them.

As far as art is concerned, realism is basically just the opinion that art should be a painstaking reproduction of objective reality, or rather an idea of objective reality. It's so boring like if you want realism get a camera and take a picture.
“realism” is such a funny descriptor for a worldview/art movement/etc. “what’s up, i believe in things that i think are true”

Love how they're just saying openly "we're here to take their oil". They're not even pretending that it's about "spreading democracy" or some other bullshit. No they're just straight up telling you that they're just invading Venezuela to take their oil, and that's basically all that matters.
Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

when curiosity, at whatever stage, is met with punishment and shame, you cannot act surprised when everyone seeks the quickest answers

you've conditioned them to fear confusion and uncertainty, which are potent catalysts for becoming more capable
the phrase "its not my job to educate you" has done insane damage to the trans liberation movement btw

They listen far too much to anti-porn feminists, and they care far too much about being seen as good feminists to tell them to fuck off even when said feminists are shown to be actively collaborating with conservatives.
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?
