Nothing in the issues section screams as particularly odious to me...

This article is a fun read.

The system only works because millions of cogs step in line and allow the machinery of that system to work.

I have been part of a larger evil system. Because where I grew up that's what everyone did, you went into the industry propping up the local economy (oil and gas). As I grew older I learned of the evils of fossil fuels, about climate change, and no longer work in oil and gas. I have no intention of ever doing so again.

So you could quite rightfully call me a bastard. But I left and will never be returning, does that absolve me of the bastard title? I don't know. But while you're actively part of the machinery you're definitely a bastard. Especially if you're the part of the machinery that is systemically racist and assaults and restrains people on a daily basis.

Intentions vs actions.

All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption.

Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they're told.

This appears to have been under the previous Conservative government.

However, with the actions of the current Labour government against pro-Palestine groups and supporters it wouldn't surprise me if they are doing similar.

Westminster is full of scumbags. Scottish independence can't come fast enough. Fuck the union, fuck this racist, classist, moralless, support of genocide. Fuck the intimidation of war crimes prosecutors. David Cameron should be prosecuted as an accessory to genocide for doing so.

Ain't nobody got time for that!

Because of capitalist policies or because of advancements in science, engineering, and medicine culminating around the same time that just happened to coincide with capitalism's birth?

Capitalism only benefits capitalists.

Fewer people are poor despite the capitalists, not because of.

Their giant hoards of wealth exemplify how many more could have been pulled out of poverty in the last 100-150 years.

It doesn't say refuse work. It says refuse the concept that a person's worth is linked to how much or what type of work they perform.

Worth as in human worth, not monetary value. Social standing, respect, etc

Not in the UK, which this thread is about.

The NHS provides healthcare free at the point of service, for all.

Not everywhere is the United States of Fascist America.

Just because you sold your soul to the devil doesn't mean others necessarily will.

If anything, doing it in your 60s is even more morally reprehensible because you should have enough world experience by then to understand what militaries truly are. Both the atrocities they commit regularly on behalf of politicians and vested interests, and the lies and manipulation they perform during recruitment to get young people enlisted.
