     @MediaActivist If you're interested to see the marches that happened around the world, I posted a whole bunch of images and clips under the International Women's Day hashtag over the weekend 😊

     @MediaActivist Very, very occasionally I dip into my neutered dummy Xitter account to pick up deets of the revolution. I was surprised how much activity there's been over the last few days. This was one was probably my favourite.

     @fkamiah17 Yeah! And I agree - it's pleasantly surprising, and much needed.

     @MediaActivist Right? The ferocity of the protests this year really took me by surprise. The ongoing resistance to the Swasticars too. And I'm LOVING it.
     I guess you heard about the guy who climbed the Elizabeth Tower on Saturday?

     @fkamiah17 The establishment media will ignore much of it (like they did with Corbyn's massive rallies, before then framing Farage in tight angles to make his "crowd" of a dozen or so appear larger); you're absolutely right - and people need to turn away from such propaganda, and instead turn towards media activism like this. It's absolutely crucial we create counter-narratives, so kudos to you! You're right: there is huge resistance to the Trump minority!

     @MediaActivist The reason I do it occasionally is because we all need to be reminded that people around the world aren't just sitting down and taking it. If all you see is mainstream reporting, you'd think there was no resistance at all. Another thing that surprised and pleased me was the smaller protests - particularly in small towns in more traditionally conservative states in the US - and the demographic make up of the attendees.

     @fkamiah17 Oh, are they? It doesn't surprise me. It takes a lot of effort to quell instinctive unease and unrest over such policies - almost zero social security fraud in Food Bank Britain while the politicians go after recipients and cosy up to billionaires with no expense spared on the military industrial complex. Like Tupac said, they got money for wars but can't feed the poor.

     @MediaActivist I've noticed the establishment media are busy manufacturing consent for Keith's cut welfare to fund war campaign over the last couple of days too. The usual centrist melts are all for it, of course 😡

     @linuxgnome @MediaActivist So, I found this article floating around last night. I only skim read it and I really couldn't figure out how I felt about it and I didn't have time to look up the author. See what you think.

     They're manipulating it as a 'moral crusade' - the term 'moral' increasingly appears in their witterings. I suspect that Labour MPs have been persuaded to deploy the term. It's even more immoral to portray it as a moral imperative. I hate the fuckers.

     @MediaActivist Aye, I saw a headline on LBC effectively saying "come on now, where else is he going to get the money from", despite years of decrying the same policies by the Tories. You could even argue that the Tory version wasn't as bad! It's an easy win for Keith domestically with the gammon vote he's chasing - his ratings have gone *way* up in the last 10 days - and internationally, masquerading as a statesman when he's actually riding the fence and taking the softest options available.

     @fkamiah17 @linuxgnome I find a lot of leftist "alternative" media to be quite tankie - and I understand how seductive these arguments can be, because I've moved in similar circles in the past, where our anti-imperialist attitudes here in the west inspires perverse apologism for imperialist and/or nation state power blocs opposing western interests. But once we realise that hierarchy and centralised power - and therefore all states - are the problem, and dooming us all, it's much easier to see that a lot of the "left" and "right" are two sides of the same coin; so extreme that they meet each other around the back.

     @fkamiah17 @linuxgnome It reminds me of my days on the anti-deportation scene, working with No Borders groups - people questioning the reasons for economic migration and I was citing workers' rights in different countries, but it became almost impossible to argue without calling for the eradication of all borders and the associated nation states, so that we can have a world based on cooperation rather than competition and bloody conflicting geopolitical interests between nation state power blocs. It's why the "no-state solution" is such a good one for Palestinian liberation. Just people, free from government. Now that's something worth fighting for!

     In the perception of many, I'm extreme left. I don't meet anyone on the extreme right. I consider it a linear difference not a circular conjunction.
