I thought it was common among democrats at this point to have the viewpoint of "oh yeah maybe hammering identity politics isn't a great idea", but nearly every segment on NPR is still about identity. Are they just trying to quell actual leftist ideas and make people hate democrats even more?

Lol

The resistance was betrayed.

From Gaza, to Lebanon, to Syria.

The Axis may be over, but the resistance will remain. The genocidal terror state of Israel is Syria's eternal enemy, and will always pose an existential threat.

Homs may fall Temporarily. We will get it back. The anti-Lebanon mountains protect Damscus.

Zionist accounts like Visegard24 will try to spread mass hysteria.

Geopolitical Analysis

"We lost the 20 rangs of soft power because of Drumpf, we need them ALL", says the geopolitical experts on ARR SLASH DRAMA @nuclearshill @JimieWhales

"We don't need ANY RINGS", says @Dude

You're both wrong.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

If one ring rules them all, the lesser rings are COMPLETELY USELESS!!

They're cuck rings, they literally bind you to the One Ring.

While we're wasting our taxpayer money on the 19 cuck rings, CHINA is taking the One Ring for herself. That's geopolitical suicide.

USAID knew this, so... why are they wasting our money?

Simple.

FRAUD

Rangs of Soft Power

Here's an accounting of the 19 lesser rings we WASTED our money on:

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky

1. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Musical in Ireland

2. Transgender Opera in Colombia

3. Peruvian Transgender Comic Book Series

Seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

4. Electric Vehicles for Vietnam

5. Tourism Promotion in... Egypt.

6. "Condom" Purchases for Gaza

7. A Fish Farm in Afghanistan (That Was Immediately Abandoned)

8. A (Failed) Sesame Street Adaptation in Pakistan

9. A Mango Farming Initiative in Haiti (That Didn't Sell Any Mangoes )

10. DEI Advancement in Serbian Workplaces

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

11. S*x Reassignment Surgeries in Guatemala

12. A (Failed) Program to Teach Kenyan Youth How to Use Instagram to Become Influencers

13. A Reality TV Show in Afghanistan to Promote Democracy

14. Training Mongolian Yak Herders to Use Social Media

15. A Gender Studies Degree Program in Bangladesh

16. A Climate Change Board Game for Young Activists in the Philippines

17. A "Hip-Hop Dance for Empowerment" Program in Senegal

18. A Workshop on Writing Feminist Poetry in Kyrgyzstan

19. A Program to Train Ukrainian Farmers to Write Grant Applications in English

Not only did they spend millions trying to acquire 19 worthless rings, but they LOST FIVE of them. The sesame street ring, the fish farm ring, the Mango ring, and last but not least, our Kenyan Influencer ring was pawned for a Dodge Hellcat.

All this to say we only needed the one ring TO RULE THEM ALL, we only need the AIDS ring for teaching Africans not to pound sand into their foreskin. Obviously Mordor refers to Africa because it's "Where the Shadows Lie". Shadows are black, what else is black? You guessed it. BIPOCs.

One of my favourite ways to bait bongoids is to venture into small-town subreddits, particularly /r/Bristol and make an oblique reference to how many rental properties I own then go around treating everyone like they're Oliver Twist.

It's natural that British Redditors would be some of the most detestable mayoids on the internet, so I have compiled various examples of small-town seethe.

It's one thing to read the top-level headlines about GDP, but it's better to dive in and observe the bong in his natural habitat, which is rapidly becoming Burundi:

Renting in Bristol

Ive been living in bristol for almost 10 years and watching the rent rise every year to astronomical amounts is so discouraging.

This user plays Dungeons and Dragons in his thirties

£1200-£1400 for a one bed flat and theyre not always in the centre.. i dont get how this is acceptable.

Bristolians unironically give up half of their third world salary to live in The Backrooms

For reference, Bristol looks like this:

(Which could all be forgiven if they didn't use words like 'vibrant' to describe homeless encampments)

It's a terrible state of affairs. I'm living in a caravan about 8 miles from Bristol after the breakdown of my marriage.

why would you admit this

I feel your pain, when I was a school leaver 10 years ago you could get a studio flat on Gloucester Road for £600pcm including council tax. Now that same flat today is £1300, excluding council tax,

A lot can change in ten years

I really hope a big rent revolution is coming soon. This is a too wide spread problem

> reeeeeee the revolution is coming ()

I hope so for everyone one too but how on earth can it happen? The reality is that demand outstrips supply

Rent is artificially inflated- just because there is demand it does not mean you should be able to charge whatever you want.

I understand the supply vs demand argument, but that does not quite apply to housing, does it?

Why is so difficult for communist losers?

Sadly, it's the result of all the londoners etc moving here in the WFH post covid times

That 'etc' is doing a lot of work here

Simple but well executed

How's that going for you? Let's see what communism is doing for the job market

What are some non customer facing Jobs in Bristol with limited experience?

I'm on Student visa but graduated.

This got a Masters' degree in AI In Britain where every tech job has been sent to Mumbai

I've applied to fast food places, supermarkets, and retail jobs, but all I've faced is rejection.

I wonder if anyone gave them sound advice?

We have a taker! The response?

While my parents are supportive of my studies, they are conservative so I don't want to really go back.

my parents aren't sufficiently supportive of trans rights so I guess I'll starve

Remember, poors deserve it!

Email or DM every restaurant/ business you can think of explaining you'd like to work there cleaning dishes and sound excited (they love excitement and people cleaning their dishes)

just give em a firm handshake

Hartcliffe and Knowle West: Is it fair to describe them as "deprived" areas?

Hey, I am researching a documentary about knife crime in Bristol. Would it be fair to describe Hartcliffe and Knowle West as "deprived" or "low income" neighbourhoods?

Broadly speaking, yes. As with everywhere there is some variation. One of the main issues is the complete lack of services due to underfunding.

please bro just give them more free money I swear it will work this time bro please Keynes said it once you have to believe me

It's poor, high unemployment, underfunded etc. Kids in balaclavas on illegal dirt bikes and shopping trolleys everywhere.

Computer add shopping trolleys to the list

30.7% of social housing tenants in Coventry were born outside the UK.

These figures are quite scary to me to be honest, does anybody else care about this?

There's a Grade 1 Chud Incursion on /r/coventry as the city's Last White Man wakes up and discovers he is living in a cross between Lahore and 1992 Belarus.

For reference, Coventry looks like this:

And it should look like this:

Couldn't give a darn where they're from, if they need a home they should have one. Coventry has always been a multiethnic city

Labour's strongest soldier chimes in!

✅ Condescending Neurodivergent woman

✅ Workshy Parasite

✅ JK Rowling Derangement Syndrome

51% of private renters are born outside the UK. 31% of social renters are born outside the UK. So what the data is saying is that you're much less likley to be in social housing than private renting if you're born outside the UK.

only a THIRD of our taxpayer-funded property during a housing crisis goes to the third world, chud! This is a good thing somehow

Why are the figures scary to you?

Why indeed?

/r/coventry is a particularly funny example because it genuinely reads like a messageboard posted in the centre of a Jakarta slum

Any buy nothing groups here not on Facebook?

('Buy nothing group' is like a commune btw)

Is there anyone here who can help me get a job?

Wanted to know what is the part time job scene in Coventry?

Anyone know where I can get some free old scaffolding boards?

Can anyone please suggest good fish and chips in Coventry without alcohol in recipe?

any tips before i move to coventry?

Other than don't?

Oh I see you're Muslim 😊 there's a very welcoming mosque close to the city centre called the Iqra centre. The imam is an absolutely wonderful man.

The bad areas are Stoke Aldermoor, Wood End, Hillfields, Tile Hill, Upper Stoke, Middle Stoke, Lower Stoke (anywhere with the word "Stoke" in it), Edgwick, Paradise (Lol), Radford (parts of it), Foleshill (large parts of it), Willenhall, Wyken (parts of it), Henley Green, Canley, Holbrooks (parts of it), Spon End.

Oh, so the entire thing?

/r/brum:

Never realised how bad the NHS is struggling until I had to go to the QE last night at midnight.

7 hour wait. 0 degrees outside and you're in an outside queue to get in the front door.

People lying on the floor or standing against windows. All the walk ways blocked. One bloke sat in his own shit. The smell from just standing in the waiting room with all the sick people, piss heads who have turned up made me retch.

excuse me

Last time I went to A&E at the QE someone tried to nick my wheelchair.

Tories and now new labour making the NHS so bad that it'll be a lot easier to bring in the inevitable US style system

yeah paying a few hundred quid for Bupa is so much worse than watching your family members die in their own piss and shit while an NHS nurse records a tiktok nearby

In conclusion: It turns out that the average bong is either a seething marxoid or just doesn't care as long as he gets his benefits and sag paneer . Do not feel bad for the bong; he deserves all of this and more

Do you have any evidence that this person is incompetent at her profession? The bio also says she's a 22 year vet of the LAFD, and was previously Battalion Chief, Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, and Chief Deputy.

for the record, i unironically think a presidential inauguration should be skipped if your team is in the national championship. he's the VP anyway it doesn't matter!

I attribute this solely to this community and the solidarity found in it. I'm the only person on my team of 8 that's on Reddit and not only have I been better informed, I've been faring better than the others. Two people went on stress leave and frankly I'd be one of them too if I didn't have this community. I'll continue to do my job and fight for the position I've earned. It took me 10 years of applying and 20 years experience in my field to get here. I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies. I'M NOT LEAVING!'

I was chill and laid back prior. Now I'm digging my heels in out of spite. I'm a big time hater and being petty is my favorite thing to do.

I can hold a grudge like it's my job

I knew my grudge-holding skills would come in handy someday.

I've never been more motivated to stay. Before the "buyout" memo, I was ready to go job hunting, but then a revelation hit. I took an oath under this position to the American people and leaving my job under the current state would be failing to maintain my oath as civil servant.

I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
