Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

tweet by Dr Lauren Gavaghan #NHSL... @Dancing TheMind:
Reminder: the NHS crisis is not due to immigrants, or the elderly, or people who drink alcohol, or nurses, or doctors. The crisis has been manufactured by a govt ideologically opposed to the NHS, who have systematically underfunded it for years.

They won't stop funding... YET.

And that's the key word here because eventually they will.

While liberals seem to only think in weeks and months before they lose interest in a particular issue and move onto something next, these conservatives play the long game. Years and even decades of slowly chipping away at these government "beasts" till they eventually kill them off via starvation.

You guys really need to find a way to attack these conservatives before they go full-on Republican amd simply try to overthrow the government a la Jan 6th.

Oh, spot on.
And that last part? Honestly? I think that point has come and gone, we're just less... Rowdy? About it. And the way our system works is a little different, but bottom line - the government is already a useless body to anyone but the super rich. There is no opposition and their power only keeps growing (the house of "lords" is a whole can of worms I won't even start on here). We don't need a silly pretend revolution (where the people revolting are literally working for those in charge), they've politely just been eating away at our rights and freedoms.
It's so depressing.
