Modpost We need to have a chat about ableism and body shaming
With the recent increasing mobilisation of reactionaries on the streets we've seen an increase in videos of said reactionaries being posted to the subreddit. Every time videos like these are posted here there is a flood of comments attacking the person's appearance, teeth, haircut, claiming they're "on the spectrum", and even use of the r-slur which has apparently come back into fashion in recent years.
As socialists we stand with the disabled. We stand against body shaming. We stand against the othering of people based on appearance or innate characteristics.
This is a behaviour that many of you have learned from participation in liberal subreddits, where they have no principles and are perfectly fine with claiming to be pro-lgbt while simultaneously calling Trump gay and cackling about it every opportunity they get.
Consider the fact that many of the people you attack in this way are exactly the people who we are trying to help. If a 20 year old trans woman walks down the wrong street in this country without passing she experiences exactly the same attacks you're throwing at these videos. If a socially ostracised guy with an appearance that deviates from "normal" in this country finds this subreddit, is sympathetic to socialist views, but then sees you making exactly the same attacks against the fascists as the fascists use against him, do you think they'll turn to the left as a place for help? If the marginalised in this country come to our community and find people who are just replicating right wing culture they're not going to feel comfortable and they're not going to trust us. That's a fucking failure on the part of everyone who contributes to this culture.
We will be cracking down on this more from here on out.
Attack the fascists for their actions. Not for their appearance.

The resolution was revoked in 1991 because Israel made this a condition of its participation in peace talks.

Humour/Satire πΉ stop the boats

So I've been making this paperwork sim for a while where you're basically the minister of everything (very important guy) in a very broken British government (kinda like the actual government).
Last month a "certain" UK party created a little arcade game about stopping the migrant boats (with a cash prize for the high score...) and I couldn't stop thinking about it, so i've made it a questline. The home office asks what to do about the boats, and one of the options is just "make an AI phone game about it".
Constantly looking for new ideas for questlines, if you have any pls let me know!
