Don't you hate it when one of our own falls for welfare state propaganda and acts like a boomer in saying welfare checks should be made stricter in a bid to save money for the country?

I was debating a person who was okay with the Labour party cutting benefits to save 14 years of financial waste, then this guy comes in and debates me on seeing that argument as exactly what it is: welfare state propaganda.

Attached here is evidence starting from picture three about how this one guy hates himself for not having what we have.

A message for Neuroblands: If you hate that we make more money than you, take it to your boss, not to us. They're at fault, not us.

I'm looking for the title of the pizzicato song that plays in this Cat in the Hat (2003) featurette. The only clue I can find so far that it's a part of the Killer Tracks Music library.

As if they hadn't been mask off before, Reform UK has proposed more immigration detention centres to deport suspected illegal immigrants to. They plan for these centers to be built in Green Party areas, supposedly in a bid to round up the immigrants that vote for them. The proposal has been critisised as being akin to a plan for concentration camps (they essentially are in all but name).

Reform are yet to have the political power to turn Britain facist. They'd have to win the 2029 election for that. And if they do, it will take years and billions of Pounds to put their Final Solution into fruition.

The May Elections are akin to midterms, as only Councillors and Mayors would be voted in. The fact that Reform are proposing the idea at all may serve as a warning sign, but it is also empowering Reform supporters to go out and vote for them to give them the push necessary to prove themselves in councils. Especially with the threat that if Green wins the area, and Reform gets into power in 2029, the people responsible would be dealt with accordingly.

Never mind the threat being illegal, this shows that Reform has accepted that the idea of "stopping the boats" to tackle immigration issues is no longer viable. They have to go mask off. And this is all the more reason for those against facism in the UK to vote for anyone other than Reform, Restore, Tories or Labour.

I seek optimism, because while the mask off situation my inspire optimism in many people, I jist want people to reaffirm the optimism they hold.

I cane accross a video posted about someone's experience with fakers. And although he does raise some valid points, I can't see myself watching the rest of this video. I feel some sort of elitism in there.

Although he later pointed it out in the description, the first person he accused of being a fake has since been diagnosed as Autistic. And he only found that clip to provide an example of what a poser could be. It's more nuanced than that.

Speaking as a non-LARPing Autistic trans woman who got diagnosed as such at age 2, Autistic people can be put off by fellow autistic people too. I went to special needs school in primary, and to this day, I feel ashamed at feeling better than the others just because I didn't "misbehave" as much as the others. Internalised ableism is still something I need to work on.

Although there are genuine points in spotting fakes, I don't think I can follow him if he sees someone being sociable that happens to be Autistic and say "Ooh, she's not depressed and a bullying victim, she must be a fake." And also, he's literally buying into welfare state propaganda.

He may not be a fake, but he's definitely a Star-Bellied Sneech. Being Autistic may be hard, but I'm proud of it. And I'm not gonna use my Autism to belittle sociable, happy autistic people because I'm more experienced than them. Especially not Autistic women. His general consensus is that if they don't act like him, they're fake. By his logic, he'd be the real fake. And I'd say that because I'm over the bullying and struggle now. By his logic.

And by the way, one of my bullies was Autistic himself. He was also in a right-wing family, so yeah.

What are your thoughts and experiences?
