Odd the BBC choose to clarify here

... Love scams. The latter are also known as "pig butchering" scams, named after the farming practice of fattening pigs before slaughtering them.

Some fat English gammon editor maybe got a bit uncomfortable by the name possibly...

Well that's good you support their fight against Israel. I'd be too afraid to go against all those zealots with all that American military hardware and id guess you would too.

Should Palestines be taking security measures when being slaughtered by a vile genocidal racist fascist ethnostate?

Completely agree, charity is a symptom of something wrong in a society. If something needs support and is worthwhile (and you assume charities are for worthwhile causes), why as a society is it not being done?

If you look at a lot of charities throughout history, it's almost like they're really there for the powerful to play with their pets ..

Internally in the UK, the BBC brought in quota to hire more right wing comedians after it was found they aren't funny

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/sep/01/rightwing-comedians-not-funny-enough-for-bbc-shows-says-insider

This was by Tim Davie the director general, a very generous Tory donor

The BBC has been fully captured and the stuff that comes out of it is as biased as any of the right wing media outlets (which is pretty all major outlets now), but done in a plummy(1) way that seems to get past a lot of peoples bullshit detention

Two birds with one stone

Semitic is race. Judaism is a religion. Religion is a cultural phenomenon. Zionism is intrinsically linked to the religion and historically has been an incredibly fanatic cult very willing to do anything to reach their final goals. I think hatred of this is far removed from any kind of racism.

E: and the conflation of Zionism with Judaism is something I see consistently coming from zionists, so it being being deemed a trait of anti Semitism doesn't make sense to me for several reasons. I'm an atheist though so generally have no respect for fairytales that send people psychotic...

Hmmm fair, I like existing, but a quick death might preferable right enough :(

I think the most viable thing to do would be to put your money towards building a geothermally powered unground habitat that is close to a large water source, and have a really good water purification system to filter it.

Also possibly use fibre optic cable to funnel sunlight in to grow plants which hopefully produce food and oxygen. Although safer bet would be to have enough power for internal ultra violet lighting and be able to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, who knows if we'll somehow managed to block out the sun as well.

I've been thinking about this for a while, if anybody can lend me some large scale industrial excavation equipment, I'd really appreciate it c:
