Today is a good day, for 2 reasons.
Reason 1:
I talked about this one a lot more on Twitter. I'll summarize on my mastodon:
Kiwi Farms, a nazi forum dedicated to stalking, doxxing, swatting and ultimately killing trans people and other targets, is no longer online in any viable fashion. A concerted campaign to get their site pulled succeeded yesterday, and today I learned that their backup domain is also inaccessible for most of the world.
Reason 2:
Rick and Morty season 6 airs in 2 hours.
One week later.
Kiwifarms is still offline, and Rick and Morty S06*E02* comes out tonight.
Handmaids Tale season 5 also comes out in a few days.
And kiwifarms is still offline.
Today is a good day!
*Two weeks later* Rick and Morty S06E03 was amazing. and Kiwi Farms is still offline, and got hacked, thus losing all credibility, with its users now turning against it. So even if it does come back online now, it will have zero credibility even among fascists.
The result of the hack is that some of those nazis may end up in jail.
Every week, things are getting better. The best Rick and Morty season so far, and it's amazing, and evil nazis can't get it (their forum) up.
Truly a wonderful day.
Bonus, the queen is dead, and the new king has the charisma of a wet sponge in dull dishwater, on a rainy day.
The possibility of an elected senate and president, and the dissolution of the UK as a country (to be renamed, thus: United Republic of Britain) is a greater possibility.
Once all this insanity around the queen's funeral (which is today) wears off, the cult-like devotion people have to the royals will have been reset.
I should clarify once again than today is an *extremely* good day.
@libreleah DISCOURSE BY RUSSELL BRAND ON TOPIC
"Through this discourse we grow together"
" If we communicate clearly, we can create something from this mayhem we can create something beautiful, not necessarily perfect... but better than what we have now for sure."
NOTES:
- Last line also depends on if you're willing to hide reality and let others to run it badly.
Russell Brand is one of the most is on point on my list.

@freeschool yeah but the problem is that russell brand is a cringe lunatic junkie just begging for clout. very intelligent but i don't like his style, and i think he's quite off putting. good video though
we need someone serious to lead the republican movement. though, brand seems to understand the difference between country/state/government
republicanism seeks to reorganise the state into a democracy; elected senate to replace the house of lords and an elected president to replace the monarch
@freeschool russell brand is leftwing. i'm not quite sure he's on the republican side; again, media personality with clout, and opinions
"capitalism is dead", it says, on his site. bullshit.
for purpose of republicanism, i will work with socialists, but i have libertarian views, centre-right. socialists are authoritarian by nature
as soon as the monarchy is gone, i will fight russel brand and his ilk tooth and nail. for now, i agree we need to unite with such allies (enemies of our enemy)
@freeschool republicanism, afterall, isn't a left or right wing issue. it is simply a belief that we need to remove the monarchy from power
socialists like brand want a republic so that the new elected president and senate might be on their side, to work according to their agenda; which, is fair because if elected, that means it's the national will
right now, we have an unelected house of lords and monarch that does what it wants, the people be damned. this is what republicans want to change
@freeschool a lot of monarchists think republicanism is inherently leftwing, but they are wrong. be under no illusion. when the republic does come, conservatism will thrive
socialists, liberals and conservatives will exist in the same proportion of society as they do now, but with greater democracy and ability to exercise their authorities, when they gain consent via elections
that's all it means. delete the monarchy, and elect presidents+senators, some of them may actually be conservatives!
@freeschool I think i have a term to describe people like russel brand, alex jones, tucker carlson... all these people exist on different ends of the political spectrum, but they all engage in the same thing:
conspiracy porn
that's what i call it. you'll instinctively just get what i mean, i hope?
@libreleah
CONSPIRACY PORN / RUSSELL BRAND etc
yes I get that phrase "conspiracy porn" but try define it below just to make sure and for practice, so perhaps it means:
- it's excitement and compelling to talk about things more about the bad people who clearly do not great work / are not transparent ETC.
and
- as good as 'porn' because we all like for the extremes to be talked about and want to be heard ourselves, asked, participate in the future, contribute to etc what is healthier but there is no other avenues / deliberately muted and spaces are shut down / policed.
Again it might be subject to taste about Russel Brand but the principles or questions asked make him most irrelevant / even neutral as a container (seems to add the opposite in there so he does get banned but we all need that a bit).
Again I understand how visuals anesthetics effect people - but if anyone would say that I'd hear it
- meaning I could take it on point and principle BUT knowing everything can be wrapped in another bubble or weaponised for xyz reason...
I even appreciate those that look the part, can say the did drugs, as they are honest in that way... met few people along the way and all seemed honest / down to earth / grounded / tragic despite their habits in their special time to cope.
It's not like people in business suites that cloaks people's sadness and somewhat their personality / function.
He is what his. And tells it like it is mostly for him or others.
Time to fix the world I say... via it's people and not relying on 1 person. Even with contrasting perspectives this only helps people refine / narrow down and pinpoint in themselves in humanity *with others* which I think is like the holy grail of finding how to accept different people / their differences / etc... something we all know (maybe) that it's not 1 iron / ignorant financial based system (etc etc).
