@Radical_EgoCom @rrb I always thought the US was the very epitome of capitalism, but I’m open to be persuaded otherwise. 😳 The UK Tory Party has used the US as a blueprint.
@jaycee @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social please don't blame us for the Tories. Cameron, Johnson, Truss, Sunak (sp?)
Where do you find those people?
Oh yeah, Eton
@Radical_EgoCom @rrb we breed the fuckers like rats in a laboratory!
@jaycee @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Not being fair to rats are you? Rats are social and affectionate animals

Tories are filthy parasites.
Orwell should have had a Tory gnawing on faces. That would be a real nightmare.
@rrb I generally thought of conservativism as an insidious deadly infection.
Like a virus that reproduces by taking over cells.
@LeatherCubAndrew @jaycee @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social I am sincerely confused about it I know many good empathetic friends who would give strangers the coat off their backs, but hold political views that those same people should starve. Conversely, I know many progressive people who won't help anyone.
I just don't get it.
@rrb @LeatherCubAndrew @Radical_EgoCom you never really know someone until the excrement hits the Ventaxia….. I worked with a man who I came to regard as a friend, who is still working full time at 76 because he can’t afford to retire and who votes Tory and worships Thatcher, and friendship ended when he squandered his inheritance saying easy come easy go. His father was a firefighter during the blitz….😏
@rrb @jaycee @Radical_EgoCom I've noticed the same sort of thing.... I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed...
As one who is struggling to survive without housing I know that first hand... not even progressive acquaintances are willing to assist... the only ones who have been are my parents who retired to a state where I would feel unsafe and wouldn't be able to receive medical care... a lot of people somehow see this as a rite of passage.... it's actually caused me to have disdain for a lot of people whose struggles are constantly broadcast while people pretend mine don't exist... where's the fight for intersectionality? guess they're all talk much like their politicians are
@rrb @Radical_EgoCom just a figure if speech of course. Tories gnaw on the faces of child refugees on a daily basis, (Jenrick has cartoons painted over) and they are, as you say, filthy parasites with literally no saving graces!
