I also found this really helpful, thank you. I think many people struggle with accepting that we are subject to Western propaganda, and that we’re not smarter than the average russian citizen just because we’re outside of Russia. Acknowledging this is not the same as agreeing with Russia.

I don’t like the Russian government. I don’t like the British or American government either.

I have it on good authority that this would start a new atom based religion.

Sorry to nitpick, but nobody jaywalks in London because jaywalking is not a thing in the UK. Even at a designated crossing it’s not illegal for a pedestrian to cross when it’s red, just dumb if there’s traffic.

I’m afraid that changing leadership won’t change Labour. As a party, it does not speak to or for the working class, it is ruled by career politicians just the same as the Tories are. They could never understand what it means to be working class because most of them were never part of it, and the ones that were have betrayed the working class (cough Rayner cough).

Exactly this. Recognising the Palestinian state means nothing if the UK government don’t change their relationship with Israel.

Hey everyone, I’m also new so thank you for having me!

There’s a crazy amount of learning when you accept that capitalism doesn’t hold the answers. It’s overwhelming at times, but we must remember that we deserve better and keep going.
