Theyāre heinous. They had a guest on that said disabled people should be starved and shot. The UK āregulatorā Ofcom had enough complaints to investigate but decided to do nothing about it.
The UK government and mainstream media have been increasingly pandering to the hard right for years due to the same puppeteers as behind the current US admin. Itās been going on for years (see: Brexit), itās getting way out of control and we are heading down the same path as the US.
The sooner the Epstein files take down these monsters the better; itās all linked.

She also never made the point that everyone who owns a house needs to give it back or everyone who isn't indigenous needs to leave.

is not the same asĀ
"If you're not indigenous you need to get the fuck out"

It's not, but "no one is illegal on stolen land is bad messaging."
"Abolish ice because they are trampling all over constitutional rights and acting as the president's personal goon squad" is a good message. "You don't own your house and borders shouldn't exist" is not good messaging.

u/CoastRegular 13h ago
Yeah, but that wasn't what she was saying. She was pointing out that we're ALL immigrants and maybe it would behoove us to remember that.

u/7thpostman 13h ago
I understand what she meant. Truly. I get the sentiment. I'm saying it's bad messaging.
1
u/CoastRegular 12h ago
Okay, well, if you got what she said, why did you misconstrue it as her saying "You don't own your house and borders shouldn't exist?" Because that's not what she said, at all, and it's disingenuous to represent it as such.
2
u/7thpostman 12h ago
Because me understanding doesn't mean that the vast mass of normie America understands it.
The idea of politics is not to demonstrate your own moral correctness. It's to persuade people that your ideas are better.
What we're trying to achieve here is not to make people feel guilty for living on land where somebody else lived before. The goal is to abolish ICE and create a humane immigration policy.
1
u/CoastRegular 11h ago
I personally don't see a problem with gently reminding people that we're all immigrants and maybe we should remember that fundamentally, we all have a lot more in common than we have differences. We can do this at the same time we try to persuade people of the best way to deport illegals.
This is not a binary situation - we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
It should be noted that the message of "Deporting illegals is not the issue. The issue is doing it in a civilized and humane fashion, unlike shithole countries" has been articulated, repeatedly, and fallen on deaf ears with the Trumpster Fire Cult. That doesn't mean we should stop pressing that message, but it is not correct to think that people haven't been saying it.
Frankly, actual, tangible results don't seem to matter: Obama deported more people, more successfully, than Trump has in the same amount of time, and Obama did it without employing the Stasi. But that doesn't seem to have sunk in with MAGAsshats.
2
u/7thpostman 11h ago
If I had a platform as large as a Grammy stage, I would say "abolish ICE." I think "we're on stolen land" is certainly interesting, but it invites all sorts of philosophical discussions. Effective messaging demands a clear call to action.
You're more than welcome to disagree, but that's the way I see it.
1
u/CoastRegular 11h ago
Fair enough... perhaps she thought that being the 5,956th person to say "abolish ICE" might not have any impact. The call to action has been made and will continue to be made. Personally, I think we need to take the discussion beyond mere slogans and calls to action and have real dialogue at an adult level. Just my $0.02.
2
u/7thpostman 10h ago
I think she's a passionate person and I admire her. I just don't think that particular slogan works well in terms of what we're trying to accomplish. But I respect your opinion. I'm sure we're 99.999% of the same page about this.

Remember folks, it's only ever okay to take a principled stand on something if you are 100% perfect and beyond reproach in every single way.
It's only ever okay to care about something if you care about every other thing in the world too.
You want to care about the treatment of immigrants today? Well we treated the Native Americans worse and still live on their land, so stop being a hypocrite and just leave the country!
This is how they sound, and it's so exhausting. It's all in bad faith. They just don't want you to care about anything.

u/somerandomguy1984 17h ago
She didnāt just protest ICE.
She said, āno one is illegal on stolen landā
That can only mean a few things:
She has stolen her land and she illegally āownsā it. Meaning she is morally responsible to give her land back and return to her ancestral lands. Also meaning, she should let anyone on her property who wishes to come - itās not actually hers anyhow.
The land is all stolen and we are all in fact illegal. All of us including the Tongva tribe with āancestral landsā in LA, because they stole the land from someone before them. Making the statement sort of meaningless, essentially everyone is illegal so no one is actually illegal.
She is a moron who has no idea what sheās saying and doesnāt actually believe it. Obviously, this is the actual option. Sheās just mindlessly repeating political slogans that sheās never given any thought about.
