Establishment Psychopathy: a selection of evidence setting out some of the ways in which colonial violence & structural racism continue to privilege our “ruling class”... [thread of threads] 🧐✊🌹🇪🇺 #ColonialViolence #BritishEmpire #ReparationsNow #BlackLivesMatter Image
The magnificent #BlackLivesMatter protests are proof of structural racism around the world... This thread ⬇️ shows how the UK Establishment still benefits from slave money, and why it will ALWAYS resist a proper discussion of #history. 😖✊🌹🇪🇺 #Colston #Slavery #RhodesMustFall
Colonial wrongdoing was often rewarded with wealth and a peerage… Our ludicrous system means that this chap #Trenchard ⬇️ gets to make our laws in part because his grandfather liked to burn villages in #Nigeria. 😧✊🌹🇪🇺🇳🇬 #SystemChange #ToriesOut #COVID19
Many Empire apologists resort to the “bad apple” defence when faced with obvious psychopathy by colonial officials… If you’ve ever been tempted to use that excuse, please read about Major General Callwell… ⬇️🧐✊🌹🇪🇺 #resist #ColonialViolence #BritishEmpire #ToriesOut
Establishment psychopathy even extends to British subjects… This thread on Charles Trevelyan ⬇️ shows what Tory loons think of ordinary people, and helps explain how this “government” could be so careless of human life in the #COVID19 crisis. 😖✊🌹🇪🇺🦠 #FFS #ToriesOut
As a nation, we’re woefully deferential towards people who present as “ruling class”… This thread ⬇️ summarises how that impulse is literally destroying the country… 😠✊🌹🇪🇺 #JohnsonMustGo #ToriesOut #Brexit #ClassSystem
Under the atrocious Johnson “government” we have seen the Tories at their worst… But Tory racism ⬇️ is hardwired: even “moderate” Tories can demonstrate hideous views. 😖✊🌹🇪🇺 #ToriesOut #StopRacism #resist #BlackLivesMatter
Under the surface there are some horrible links between Tory figures & outright fascists… ⬇️ Solidarity is the only way that we can beat them, as shown in the magnificent film “Nae Pasaran”… #Scotland #Chile #solidarity @naepasaran 🤓✊🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇱
Finally, does the above thread mean that I think that Boris Johnson is a fascist…?! This thread explains… ⬇️ ☺️✊🌹🇪🇺 #BellendusMaximus #StopFascism #ToriesOut #JohnsonMustGo #gross
To have any chance of turning the UK into a decent society, we must therefore recognise the true basis of the privileges enjoyed by the Establishment… Sweeping reform and #reparations are essential..! 😀✊🌹🇪🇺 #ToriesOut #reparations #SystemChange #resist Image
