UK really had an oil boom and instead of using that money for long term economic security, they spent it all on tax cuts for the wealthy and that will never not be hilarious given their current state

Wat een contrast tussen ons en de Duitsers
Es ist einfach unglaublich. Der Aufstand der Anständigen: Das sind VIEL MEHR als 250.000 Menschen! Dieser Druck kann nicht ignoriert werden!

Wir haben den echten Grabstein von Franz von Papen vor die CDU-Parteizentrale gebracht. Papen wollte mit den Konservativen über seine Erfahrungen sprechen, Faschisten einzubinden in der Hoffnung, sie dadurch klein zu kriegen. Spoiler: Ein Holocaust, ein Weltkrieg und 55 Millionen Tote.

Great example of how to work with nature!
In Czech Republic, local officials spent 7 years planning a dam.
A colony of beavers built the dam overnight, and saved the city €1.2m

Beavers build planned dams in protected landscape area, while local officials still seeking permits
A beaver colony has gained overnight fame by building several dams in the Brdy protected landscape area, creating a natural wetland exactly where it was needed.

I’m the biggest fan of @gjuk.bsky.social for calling out the beast of centralised energy policy in a rapidly increasing decentralised system.
If we’re serious about the Transition we needed to abolish it yesterday. The left should push hard on this, it would be a huge boost to the working class.

I'm going to say it again:
Immigration is good, actually.
There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what.
"Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

I’m actually not a huge tariff hater, if this is what it takes to actually get people to eat/buy/manufacture local then as a matter of fact I quite like it.

It’s actually insane to me that all leftists are here now, the right wing on X and that it’s now impossible to even have an online conversation. And everyone’s like ‘yay this is so great’.
Then ask in 10 years ‘how could things get this far???’
