@_L1vY_ The police really should have expected this response :)

Mother Bones

@X31Andy One would think! But they clearly didn't think. πŸ˜‚

@_L1vY_ 🀣 🀣 🀣 . Yorkshire tells it as it is!!!

Shadow06

@_L1vY_ are we for real?

WTF is happening over there?

Mother Bones

@shadow06@mastodon.social What is happening is: this Shadow ⬆️ is a transphobic, "both-sidesing," anti-vax, pro-crypto, overtly troll account that posts little but replies to many posts in the most "just neutrally criticizing!" sealioning, plausible-deniability fashion, while claiming to be "centrist," yet curiously only criticizing left-of-center accounts.

That's what.

Go see for yourselves. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

@Heidentweet I looked through and saw so many people being drawn into an unhappy trolling "discussion" with this account, it is not immediately clear what they're doing unless you actually look at the entirety of their posts. 😀

Very nice music! Why'd you stop?

Mother Bones

@neverbeaten Grad school and childbearing and relentless grind of poverty 😬

Do you still have the original multitrack recording sessions? I could remix/master those for you. Get those up on Bandcamp.

Mother Bones

@neverbeaten No, this was mostly a band I was in in the '90s/'10s. Not my equipment!

neverbeaten

@_L1vY_ okay. That's too bad. I have the same issue with my old band recordings. I hate it when great songs are lost to time. It wasn't even that long ago!

Mother Bones

@neverbeaten I am okay with just having the final recordings, my child will have them in later years 😊

Oops that backfired, also the good old Stasi would have been proud, just turn half the populace to spy on the other half sounds like a really good idea.

Jo Jitsu

@hnapel @_L1vY_ Chinese Thought Reform period too. Just horrific.

Richard Pineger

@hnapel @_L1vY_ it was the previous government and media. Every time the Conservatives fight an election people on the doorsteps tell me that they can’t stand the loungers sitting on the social security with better cars and TVs than working people… it’s a catchall for the right wingers who aren’t racist enough hate migrants #populism #othering

Mhairi

@_L1vY_ though to be fair hes a pensioner ,lets hope he doesnt loose his winter heating allowance or how will he manage to heat his home (s) :)

@_L1vY_ Seriously what did they expect. The royal family are nothing but welfare cases.

Rupert Reynolds

@Ulrich_the_elder @_L1vY_ This may not fit your views, but the Royal Family (and the
estates they manage) are a huge tourist attraction. One could probably make a case that they are value-for-money purely on that score.

Ulrich_the_Elder, πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

@RupertReynolds @_L1vY_ I actually do not give a fig one way or the other. I did always find images of the queen and her corgis soothing though.

So I’m not British, not up to date at all about what’s happen there other than what bits filtered through my feed. The bits that have filtered through are bits about people being falsely labeled as alt-right for pointing out current issues of culture clash, riots, sex trafficking rings… I really don’t think I have a clear picture.

What was the intended goal for this?

My assumption right now is it is trying to find sex/drug trafficking?

Mother Bones

@altruios

Who is "being falsely labeled as alt-right for pointing out current issues of culture clash"?

@_L1vY_
This is probably conflated with years ago - I remember the brexit being basically about immigration… I think I’m thinking of a different country altogether (Germany)… sorry, I’m not informed on what’s going on over there.

Were there people complaining about that time about immigrants and a culture of gang rape that was underreported due to fears of perceived racism? Or is that American news propaganda?

LB: Things like this are genuinely heartwarming but it really is a risk.

I have friends on disability benefits who've been investigated because of reports, always malicious and baseless.

A while ago, a neighbor we didn't have a great relationship with asked around whether we're "on benefits" because we seemed to be at home all day. It's funny because we're working from home. But it's also not funny because I have relied on benefits to live and that shouldn't make me more vulnerable but it does

@_L1vY_ Don't believe the Establishment when they tell you the British people love the Royal Family, we fucking don't

Deep Mud

@Lazarou I'm afraid it's the Canadians who love the monarchy.

Lazarou Monkey Terror πŸš€πŸ’™πŸŒˆ

@deepmud do you wanna buy them so we can fund the NHS?
It's a fire sale because looking at the King, he wont be around for much longer

Deep Mud

@Lazarou I'm not Canadian. I'm American. We already have a dipshit who wants to be king, we hardly need the "real thing" gumming up the icky works.

If I were the British monarchy, I'd sell a few pieces of jewelry and a tiara or three, and fund the NHS. Good public relations ought to figure prominently in their plans to stay where they are.

Lazarou Monkey Terror πŸš€πŸ’™πŸŒˆ

@deepmud that would be a smart thing to do, but the British Royal Family doesn't do 'smart' they do 'greedy'

Monarchs are wank

Deep Mud

@Lazarou we're doing our best to fend one off right now. And I agree.

@Lazarou @_L1vY_
A number of the more recent members seem to need to be tossed. Into the North Sea. The brighter ones left public view...or the country.

Log πŸͺ΅

@Lazarou @_L1vY_ Isn't this lot reintroduced from the mainland because Britain's more native breeds of royal all went extinct in 1714? What are you keeping them around for?

@_L1vY_ During the late 60s or early 70s, as a protest to Wisconsin's vagrancy laws, several people reported Nixon's daughters on a visit to the state. (It may have been Johnson's daughters....too long ago)

elala@nrw.social

@_L1vY_
That's funny 😁 but the story behind it is completely creepy.πŸ™ˆ A call for denunciation - that escalated quickly.😳

Mother Bones

@elala This has to be the best malicious compliance story ever πŸ˜‚

benny

@_L1vY_ I thought about going on holiday to England next summer, but if denounciation of social outcasts is becoming a thing there I might better reconsider...

Mother Bones

@benny It doesn't sound like people are denouncing "outcasts" at all, rather they are subverting the attempts by authorities to promote that, by instead denouncing the utterly coddled, centered, and uplifted.

benny

@_L1vY_ what I am concerned about are the authorities, not the people. How dare they even insinuate something like this?

Mother Bones

@benny Yes, that is really scary. They keep trying it every generation. I wish I was surprised! I'm just happy people have enough life in them to respond this way, though.

DELETED

@_L1vY_ Malicious compliance at its finest.

Mother Bones

@stranger_stars That's what I was just saying, too! πŸ˜‚

@_L1vY_ In the U.S., some states have set up snitch lines for reporting parents who support their trans kids or trans people using public bathrooms, and reasonable people responded as they should.

Time burglary can be an effective form of social and political resistance.

@stevefoerster An anecdote to bring the people together 😌

@_L1vY_ Are they trying to track down girls with onlyfans accounts?
