'H' as the symbol for Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe is starting to feel like it should stand for Hypocrisy instead...

Unfortunately for the rest of us, it seems lots of people are absolutely fucking nuts

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 23d

Pffff exactly. So many contradictions and so much hypocrisy, I don't know where to begin!

Ha ha!

Surely, when the richest man on earth urges the working class to 'fight' from behind the safety of a video camera a thousand miles away from the batons, pepper spray and prison time - surely then, you know you’re being played like a puppet. Surely...

True, they are definitely dominating the tech medium with click farms, bots and algorithms. They play dirty and they shout the loudest and will stomp over anyone to get what they want. Problem is, thats what we're up against and I can't see anyone who's able to face them yet

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 27d

Trump, Farage, Musk et al. I didn't say 'good' leaders but still strong characters who inspire people to revere and follow them.

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 27d

I can think of other things to call them too...

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 27d

Where are the inspiring leaders on the Left who wouldn't get stomped all over by the bullies on the Right?

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 27d

Yup

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 27d

Great point mate. The Right have easy answers and easy targets. People want that

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 27d

For some reason though, too many people would rather believe that it's refugees in small boats ruining their lives and not the Billionaires. This has been a narrative for over 100 years and its power is undiminished 🤯

I totally agree. How, though? I'm feeling very defeated at the moment

The Right have got leaders.
The Left have got committees.

I think this is a genuine problem that needs to be addressed if we're going to offer effective opposition to the behemoth before us.

How about we make a list of reliable news and information sources in this age of noise, misinformation, algorithms & propaganda?

Where are some good places to get accurate facts, impartial reporting & expert insights on the issues of our times?

On it. Thanks Mark 🙏

So Israel has now bombed Qatar. That's how things are now. Israel can just drop bombs anywhere, any time and it's just kinda become what Israel does. In what fucking reality does any of this make sense?

James Kennedy ✊️ @jameskennedy.bsky.social · 29d
