Can anyone help me remember a quote.
It’s something like: when arguing with the right they don’t need to adhere to logical consistency, all that truely matters is their position in the hierarchy of society.
It’s more eloquent than I’ve parsed it. Any idea?

Think awning. Shade not just the windows but the walls too.
They have a catch and release policy with us.
First time I was given street bail. Basically just details taken and told to appear at a police station at a given date to be charged.
This second time I was brought into a police station; put in a holding cell; fingerprinted, photoed, and DNA taken; then released and given a date to turn up at another police station.

Sure, within reason. I’m not any kind of functionary for DOJ so I can only account for what my failing memory can hold on to.
Thangam Debbonaire has always been a soulless neo liberal ghoul. Zero surprises that she’d be involved. Was so glad that she was defeated at the last elections by the Green Party. Then disgusted that Starmer raised her up to the Lords as a consequence.
Over 3500 people have now been arrested for holding the signs in support of Palestine Action. Including me.
We can now confirm that more than 3,500 people have been arrested since the unjust ban on Palestine Action came into effect last July. We will not back down over this. The rights and freedoms of all of us depend on overturning this unjust ban, and pressuring the government to end its complicity in Israel’s war crimes! Jury trials are being dismantled and democracy overridden so that the UK government can hide its complicity in crimes against humanity. We won’t stand for it.
The legal system hasn’t been able to cope with the numbers. On Friday the cops only had the resources to arrest less than half of the sitters. When they do manage to arrest you they have to keep on pushing back plea hearing dates; charges are filed after the cut off period (with the letters conveniently back dated) etc.
I heard some folks referring to them as the Lebanese Authority as a reflection of how captured they are by Israel.
More irony than the titanic.
It’s like a town with heavy industry polluting all the surrounding environment. A lot of the inhabitants will forcefully defend the factories that bring them a steady income and wave away concerns about the pollution. However the owners of the factories, getting rich, have homes elsewhere and will pull out of the area altogether whenever there’s a sniff of consequences coming their way.
These oligarchs are happy to poison everything as long as they can get richer and more powerful now. They will promote fascists to control the population, eschew ethical worries and take the blame when the dust settles.
Huh. This Yogthos poster might be another hotznpotz alt. I better look into it.

Yeah, this is why I think this would likely have happened under Biden or Harris too. This is us nearing an inflection point in US hegemony. The robber barons won’t go down without a fight.
Tis a tragic joke
Rude…
Mice belting? Cruelty to animals!? Not on my watch
It was Crassus (the third wheel of the first triumvirate) that may have been killed by molten gold. Cicero was killed on the orders of Mark Antony, 21 months after the assassination of Julius Caesar. His head and hands were nailed to the senate doors.
That’s a good one, but not the one. The point about the only permanent thing for the right is their view on hierarchy is strongly delineated.
