I do stuff and sometimes I don’t do stuff
We don’t want to be part of the Zuckusphere.
2016 was a weird time and you could argue it was the point when western politics veered off in the direction of populism over policy.
As a British citizen (sorry subject), it was a horrifying moment to be woken up by my girlfriend to learn that we had voted to leave by the smallest of margins.
And later that year we watched America elect a bonafide psychopathic narcissist as the president of the United States.

Brexit was sold on lies and false promises of the ‘benefits’ Britain would see when we become ‘independent’ again.
As someone who lives in the UK, this government and their adoption of authoritarian policies in the recent past is depressing.
I just hope when given the opportunity next year at the polling stations, the British electorate doesn’t vite to be f**ked Inthe ass again for the next five years.

It remindeds me of the time my family signed up to AOL after using one of their free trial discs from a magazine. It has the same feel as those days, discovering forums and messages boards dedicated to all kinds of esoteric interests you could think of.
It’s like the days before the dark times, before the empire.
Only the most superficial of people would use this reason as a method for diminishing or isolating someone.
I would question my relationship with them if this is their outlook.
A commendable attempt at building the foundations of a progressive movement that breaks the current political stagnation we have endured for the past forty years or more.
Unfortunately the majority of people are inexplicably content to be shafted by successive governments whatever their political persuasion.
