  I think this is very interesting, and you should go pester ones like Stephen Fry on mastadon to come have a play with lemmy

  Just as a homage to Stephen Fry in particular, here’s a fantastic audiobook version of hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy on archive.org

  Mythos is also awesome

  Wow be on the lookout for people talking to people they didn’t talk to before, or people being upset, this is thought police, this is actually, literally, fucking 1984!

  I don’t think anyone is mad at her, people are looking at this and seeing naked corrupt authoritarianism.

  So to explain my confusion, not wanting things to progress is something I don’t understand, so when you said progressive I then thought you were saying Greta is doing good.

  Fundementally, being against progression means you are regressive. I think being static isn’t something well defined, because it doesn’t seem feasible, it would required being entirely insular, i.e. solipsistic, which is mad.

  If you don’t mind me asking, why do you want things to regress? In recent times ( bar the rise of the far right ideologies causing a fair bit of war and death), it’s statistically been one of the most peaceful periods in history, bar some notable regions, really Europe’s stopped brutally annihilating each other. Arguably, this has been due to global cooperation on an economic and cultural level, it could be nuclear weapons as well, but cooperation is good, so I would personally roll with it.

  Would you prefer to go back to a time when countries where more insular and thus more likely to end up in war with each other? Or what other benefits do you see in being regressive?

  I think I maybe mistook the tone of your comment.

  I think Greta is in a position to make a difference and amazingly in a non violent way. So when you said you far left activitist etc… It came across as the typical brain washed drivel you get from people who have been taken over and are being driven by snake oil salesmen that appear to have taken over general public discourse globally.

  You’re response, saying you think far left as progressive makes me think I was harsh in thinking this as I do think Greta is progressive, which I think is idionatically correct, however I don’t think Greta’s stance or activism is far anything so that is where my confusion came from.

  What the fuck does far left mean to you

  I think most people would vacate the area if you started discussing your resent of science. I’m guessing you’re some sort of religious fundamentalist?

  No, just completely devoid of morals. He’s positioning himself to have something to battle labour with. Conservative voters are very easily triggered by suggesting someone might be taking something from them. Doesn’t matter how stupid it is, conservatives are incredibly easily led, selfish idiots.

  Interesting acronym that is used for this, SLAPPs (Strategic legal actions against public participation). Almost like whoever came up with the term is having a laugh.

  I’m sure the UK government can be fully trusted to implement this task force in an effect way.

  Another interesting part of the article

  Earlier this year, openDemocracy revealed how the UK government helped Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, the late Wagner leader, to bypass sanctions and launch a legal attack on British journalist Eliot Higgins of investigative website Bellingcat in the London courts.
