I was listening to this yesterday afternoon while painting. If only we'd all voted for Jeremy Corbin... He brought up some interesting points, but nothing I hadn't already heard from the brilliant UK Column. I keep on having to remind myself when I watch her interviews that she's an ardent socialist, so kinda switch off once they start talking about decolonisation, islamophobia, Bernie Sanders, etc.... Regarding the UK election, I didn't vote and neither did my family. I had got to the point where it was clearly a case of voting for Israel or not. Why engage with a system that has been hijacked to benefit the Dark Forces.

she's an ardent socialist,

Don't switch off. Just take it with a grain of source. She's very good, but is trapped in the left-right, capitalism-socialism paradigms - not to mention how she's backed off on 9-11.

Voting is a rigged joke, but there's usually a way not to vote for either evil and do a protest vote - for some 3rd party, some extremist party, or to write in Thor or no-one or "protest" or "just another rigged scam". If it's a terrible inconvenience don't bother. But it's better and shorter than most protests.

Why engage with a system that has been hijacked to benefit the Dark Forces.

Soon we won't have any choice - the engagement won't be voluntary, nor any good, beneath their boot.

Resist as hard, as long, and as much as possible while we can. #FightElitesNotEachOther

Oh yeah, I've been watcher her since Breaking The Set used to post onto Youtube, but I'm unsure if I'm just noticing how pro-socialism she is or whether it's since Empire Files started. I guess if you're no longer connected to a TV station you can wear your colours however you wish.

As you've mentioned, it's the left-right paradigm that puts me off, but that's universal. I honestly don't feel a protest vote is worth it. I considered it and spoke about it with my parents, but do you think that whatever surface dweller that's counting votes gives a toot what Norse God is getting votes. I can only imagine anyone out of the defacto choices are straight in the bin. I appreciate your sentiment regarding the resistance, but I suppose it's all perspective. Those operating the system just don't care what plebs think or feel. Onward, in the name of Israel. Nothing ever happens until chaos ensues, then maybe the Blue Stars will be dragged out of office and thrown in a ditch, unless of course we're shot in our homes beforehand. Merry Christmas!
