Great, they can kill two birds with one stone - impoverish more vulnerable people to death while causing extra deaths in warzones.

In a more just world, these monsters would be laughed off as savages. Like it’s such a fucking 12 year old boy mentality.

Of course you’re soooo insecure with your masculinity you need to shift everything into war so you can feel tough by proxy, you’re twelve!

    This is really the point of the full throated, frantic support for turning Ukraine into a permanent slaughterhouse.

    The European bourgeoisie project has spent the entire post-soviet era stripping away any and all public services in favour of their own class protection in the form of mass surveillance, military industry and working class deprivation.

    The Ukraine conflict is the final nail in the coffin for the state as a public good for the common people.

    By frothing at the mouth and screaming about the "illegal full-scale hybrid warfare invasion" against Ukraine, the bourgeoisie can privatise and shut down whatever remains of the European welfare states, and funnel all profit to the ruling class.

    The future of the state is a hostile entity, purely punitive, held together by omnipresent surveillance and policing and militarism against anyone with even the mildest criticism against their imperial ambitions through Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.

    That's the leader of the opposition, not the UK government. Also why is the linked website "The Daily Sceptic"?

    Because it's the only one I could find that wasn't either behind a paywall, or from a newspaper that people here would find offensive.

    The linked article links a Telegraph article as its source. I think people would find that less offensive, and you can use an archive link to avoid giving them traffic if you want.

    The telegraph article is paywalled.

    The conservative party will never have power again so she's meaningless. Reform and Restore parties on the other hand do concern me and they'd do exactly the same thing though.
