Last words of Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC.

"My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active duty member of the United States airforce and I will no longer be complicit in genocide.

I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

Free Palestine."

Hi I'm Paul Smith, originally from Yeovil, Somerset but now based in Worthing, UK. Work in IT.

Strongly believe in a decentralised web. Interests include #gaming #history #politics #technology and a bit of #photography.

Some might say I'm a #socialist and that I advocate public ownership of the means of production, they'd probably be right. #Corbyn was right too.

Historic posts will sometimes self-destruct.

Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against Israeli apartheid.

Non-mainstream political opinion in the west.

nostr:npub1gtpqjk60rrsf0gufu62x5kqlp9xywsxmcvyrh4qh68dn98xa55zqzuk69t I did a post on how Sanna Marin got a job at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.

That got deleted from mastodon dot social, source for the article was Reuters.

The only political spin on it was saying how Blair's institution is a war mongering think tank - nowadays mainstream opinion at least in Britain.

Post was removed due to "russian propaganda".

Seriously? The source ain't RT which is banned in the EU now, its Reuters.

nostr:npub1gtpqjk60rrsf0gufu62x5kqlp9xywsxmcvyrh4qh68dn98xa55zqzuk69t absolutely.

Trouble with mastodon dot social is its huge and the official Mastodon application on mobile deliberately steers users to it.

These users won't even know they can't see this posts in their feeds because people are hidden or suspended.

None of these users promote violent ideologies or anything against the official listed rules, yet they're gone... Why? Probably cuz of a single report from some war-mongering censorship-prone fool.

Just checked four accounts at random that have a pro-peace, anti-war, or anti-NATO opinion.

Out of those four, 2 are hidden and 1 is blocked on mastodon dot social.

This is why we need smaller instances. Imagine signing up for Mastodon, joining the biggest server and essentially having moderators curate a mainstream-only political spin on everything.

If that sounds fine with you, reminder: It was mainstream opinion that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq were good ideas. 🤦♀

The only way to "stop the boats" is open safe legal routes, stop bombing other countries, stop installing governments 'we' want and tackle the climate crisis.

Apparently this is a #radical position.

Happy #SocialistSunday everyone.

#Sunak can WIN, and defeat the LEFT!

Daily Mail conveniently forgets "the left" haven't been in power since 2010 - and then only if you want to accept Gordon Brown was a bit of a #socialist

Honestly who do these people think have been in government and in control of the media for the past 13 years?

Bullying me over my pro-peace position with the #Ukraine war isn't going to change it.

I cut my political teeth on opposition to the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions.

All had overwhelming support from the media and political classes of the day. Just like continuing the Ukraine war does today.

I'm used to being in a minority position on it, but in 20 years time, General Milley's comments saying the best time for us to negotiate was winter 2022 - will I fear ring very very true.


nostr:npub1ru68y20ukuyv60juy2t2lnzwqdq3cea50nf5f6drutvkgsrvm2qqd0eq27 yeah and a majority of the UK electorate voted for Brexit.

People can easily get indoctrinated when the media is owned entirely by a bunch of capitalists, who are always keen on more war.


nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd there's over 100,000 US troops in Europe across at least eight major garrisons.

They've been here since the end of WW2.  Like the bases still in Japan, we don't want them here.

nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd everything you've said is a NATO talking point, laced with historical inaccuarices.

There needs to be peace in Ukraine and the US occupation of Europe needs to end. We don't wanna be dragged down with a desperate and dying hegemon.


nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd NATO will cause nuclear war, by starting a war, we see it aggressively expanding across the globe, including into the Pacific.

All to maintain a dying empire.

We don't want it over here.

Sod off and take your NATO with you.

And all the US-backed and installed dictators too.


nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd nuclear winter won't destroy the planet.

It'll wreck agriculture for a few years, but there are other food sources, especially for the Finns.

Appeasing dictators?

The US has put more dictators in power than any other world power in history.

I'm not interested in you trying to justify US hegemony.  Thanks.


nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd 6 years for the Germany army to build after WW1?

That's absolutely ridiculous.

Nuclear war won't destroy the planet. Finland will actually be in a relatively good place if a nuclear war happened and they avoided it, due to low population density and alternative food sources other than agriculture.

But fine, let's all see the Finns get killed just cuz we love military alliances, and rather than learn the lessons of WW1, we'll let's just repeat them. 🤦♀


nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd errr getting aimed at or not in a nuclear war absolutely matters. 🤦♀

So if Russia's army has been destroyed we can cut military spending and actually I dunno spend some money on health care right?

Great!


nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd wait what?  Are you sure you're not getting robles?

You're saying Russia's military hasn't been destroyed and they're a credible threat to everyone on their borders?


nostr:npub1h9vhftrf9dmfklav6epgrvsxzjpl5vlmcghg87pzcwxgv9k54tcs646nwd yeah now if war breaks out between the US and Russia they'll likely have dozens of nukes heading their way.

All to avoid getting invaded by a country who's military has been destroyed and can't beat a couple of farmers in Ukraine right?

Right?


Remember Sanna #Marin, former Prime Minister of Finland? One of who's noticeable achievements was getting #Finland into #NATO.  She's landed a job at the Tony #Blair Institute for Global Change.

Of course she has.

The Finnish people lose their neutral status and get automatically dragged into a war if one breaks out between the US and Russia, and as a result likely destroyed.

She get's a job at a war mongering "think" tank that promotes US hegemony for her service.
