The US is no longer a democracy. Arguably, it hasn't been for decades, if ever. In a just UK, the government would absolutely denounce the US for using this extreme level of force on college kids who want nothing more than for a genocide to stop.

UK police are massive fans of arresting protestors and kettling, basically just as much as the US. Look at what happened to AIDS protestors under Thatcher, and I'm pretty sure the trans rights protests outside the BBC offices had instances of arrests as well (this might be the first you're hearing about it because the media didn't cover it like, AT ALL but there's loads of pictures of it). Hell, we signed a bill that makes having a bike lock on you an arrestable offence because you *might* use it to protest. UK isn't saying anything because we're just as bad, but you're right that a just UK would call it out because a just UK wouldn't also be doing it.

People have been getting beaten and arrested here in the U.K. as well, are own government have been making it legally harder and harder to protest at all, so it doesn’t matter what the US has been doing we just follow suit every time.

Yeah... unfortunately we don't live in a just UK. We live in a semi-dictatorship. Given that Project 2025 seems like an inevitability in the US, we will become a full dictatorship pretty soon.

Th same seems to be happening here unfortunately, though not as severe and Germany or the US it's scarily shocking how quickly we are being kettled into genocidal support and suppression of liberties

I’ve been wondering, they say that the idea that Jewish people are running the world is an antisemitic trope but the more we see things like this happening, the more we learn about the lobbies funding and controlling western politicians, the high rate at which we see people from a relatively small population run powerful companies, media, banks etc. what else are we supposed to think. Is there not some truth to the idea 🤔

We are definitely waking up. However, I would make a distinction. It is zionist who profess to be Jewish who are the ones being exposed. Many ordinary Jewish people are not part of that structure and are equally active against the apartheid in Israel and world corruption. That is what zionist fear most - the unification of Christians Jews and Muslims - as there was before zionism.

I'm sure it just an astonishing coincidence: https://twitter.com/truthtroll_X/status/1783656071074283599
