To be fair, literally anything any white person who isn't openly woke does is considered racist to these folks.
We have reached the “trick or treat = racism” stage.

It would appear that being a woke omnist is a requirement to be a pope in the 21st century. Actually adhering to established Catholic doctrine is at best entirely optional or even seen as beyond the pale. Every pope prior to the 20th century would have anathematized the current one and the entire modern Vatican, with good reason.
Faith can be embodied in all cultures, because it does not identify itself with any of them in a specific one. It dwells within them, shaping them from within according to the “form” of Jesus Christ; that is, through charity, service and the filial recognition of God’s fatherhood. In this way, the Church draws from the various cultures all that is good, beautiful and true, in order to embody and transmit the message of the Gospel. #GeneralAudience

Rare L by Rupert Lowe and I am happy to see him getting bodied in the comments. Gambling may be a harmless pastime for some richer folks but, for a society as a whole, it is one of the worst drugs imaginable. At least with drugs almost everyone at least gets high for spending so much money. With gambling only a precious few get to feel "high", namely the scammers running the show. Ban gambling and make trying to establish a gambling business a capital offence.
Gambling is not evil, and a Restore Britain Government will reduce taxes on the industry. Adults should be free to make their own choices about how they spend their own money - a wild thing for a political party to say, I know. Britain has a successful gambling industry that supports local economies all over the country. In my constituency alone we have horse racing, a greyhound stadium, plenty of arcades and more. We should be encouraging responsible operators to thrive, not taxing them into dust. Problem gambling is an issue and should be properly addressed. But punishing an entire industry, costing thousands of jobs, for the actions of a very small number is not the answer. Restore Britain will back British gambling.

Breaking News: France has decided to replace all fire trucks with fuel tankers ahead of more "fiery but peaceful" riots from foreign migrants. Ahem, ... the "new French".
JUST IN: 🇫🇷 France to vote on granting amnesty to up to 400,000 illegal immigrants.

Just let them know that orcs are to Tolkien what white people are to leftists and some may finally get it. On the other hand, they are leftists so, no, they won't get it.
Orcs are evil because they are evil monsters. They are created to be evil, by an evil god, to do evil things. They are not a placeholder for a "different culture", they are not a human analog, they are not a "minority". They are biological constructs made to do the bidding of dark god who made them to mock the other races (elves) specifically If your mind can't comprehend that you likely shouldn't engage with LOTR material.

Leftists simply cannot help but try to gild the turd of evil while launching relentless attacks on all that is good and wholesome. Everything must be flipped and reality permanently inverted. But gravity (reality) remains constant and if you throw everything up in the air, it will all come crashing down upon you. An absolute abomination.
[NEWS] “Marnûkh is a character meant to challenge long-held perceptions of Orcs. He’s such a departure from past depictions that within the production, Marnûkh has picked up the catchy nickname, “the Orc with an arc.” #TheRingsOfPower

The vast majority of archaeologists simply refuse to say anything against this wewuzzery, which is why it gets ever crazier, and ever more mainstream. They'll insist they oppose lies about the past when referring to Ancient Aliens or Atlantis but this stuff always gets a pass.
Nearly three years later, I had a chance to actually look in the book since it is now being sold in a museum in Devon! Many lies in here. DNA shows "11% of people in Roman York were black" - there are literally NO confirmed black samples from Roman York! They just made that up! Early European Farmers in Britain had "dark brown skin" - No. The page depicting Tudor England is a joke!

In WWII Japan suffered firebombings, 2 nuclear bombs, and the almost complete destruction of its commercial and military fleets and most of its factories. But that destruction will pale in comparison to the devastation to the nation that this economic deal will visit upon the Land of the Rising Sun. The sun is setting on Japan as a nation, a civilization, and a people unless the globalist traitors in charge of the country are dealt with more savagely than the samurai did to their worst enemies.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 Takaichi's government has officially signed the deal with Bangladesh which will see 100K Bangladeshis move to Japan every year for the next five years. By 2030 Japan there will be 500K Bangladeshis living in Japan which will double the current Muslim population. A complete betrayal
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bangladesh's government says it plans to send 100,000 workers a year, but a plan is not a Japanese quota. The Oct. 17 bilateral memorandum covers skills and worker protections; its reported terms specify no such quota. bangladesh2japan.probashi.gov.bd en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/im5…

Reminder that this still contains a massive statistical problem by grouping known-offender with stranger-assault. Only 8% of offences are 'in public', and only 15% (against women) by a stranger, but these will form the vast majority among Afghan, MENA, and SSA offences, meaning the true relative multiple is many times higher than these stats suggest. Put another way, the British population stats capture a huge number of offences by people known to the victim - which is unlikely for the above groups where reporting by victims within family circles is even more discouraged by cultural norms and language barriers, and many will be single males without 'known' female circles. So the apples to apples comparison would suggest rates are something on the order of 6.5x worse than appears on these charts, even factoring the adjustment for age and gender.
I'm shocked that The Economist was willing to publish this!

Alfred is the only English monarch to have ever earned the epithet "the Great". It is an absolute shame and travesty that he is not better known across the Anglosphere and more revered than he is. Then again, the reason for his greatness is precisely why the globalists running the English nations want him cast out of history. Never let them. Now, to honour the old king, I'm off to burn some cakes.
Alfred the Great died on this day 1,127 years ago. He is most famous for defending Wessex (and ultimately Anglo-Saxon England) against the Viking invaders and for laying the foundations of a more unified English kingdom.

October 26, 1912. Turks handing back Thessaloniki to Greece, the original owner, after 482 years of occupation by the Ottomans. The Greek army under the Crown Prince Constantine entered the city. It had been under Ottoman rule since 1430, when it was captured by Murad II. The Greek city of Thessaloniki was founded around 315 BC by the King Cassander. He named it after his wife Thessaloniki, the half-sister of Alexander the Great. Her name was given after Philip's victory in Thessaly. In Greek language: Thessaly + nike (=victory) Inscribed base of a statue of Thessaloniki, of the 2nd c. BC., found in the area of the ancient Agora and part of a group of statues of the family of Alexander the Great. Inscription writes in the Greek language: ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΝ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΑΝ = "Thessaloniki, Queen (daughter) of Philip" (meaning that the Queen descended from Philip and she is his daughter) - Homer Pavlos

Notice how bizarre the groupings are here. Afghanistan is separated out as the only single nation in the analysis, while all of the Americas - North & Latin America - are combined with the Caribbean, and we know that the latter group, along with African Americans in the US, have vastly higher rates of criminality, especially rape and violent assault, than, say, people from Quebec or Maine from purely European ancestry. The same goes for the combination of East Asia and Oceania. Rates of violence are much higher in New Guinea and Samoa than they are in Japan or Korea. But the data is great to have as the UK gov't has clearly tried to suppress it, but it fits perfectly with what we see everywhere else in the world where you have a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Some groups are far less problematic than others if you have to have them live around you. And some groups migrating en masse into your own nation could only be considered a curse by God for the sins of the nation if we didn't know who was actually to blame for letting these people in. Our families and our people have been subjected to massively increased risk of violent assault for no other reason than that certain politicians want to rub the right's nose in diversity. This is the ultimate betrayal of a nation by its leaders and the politicians and NGOs that have any responsibility whatsoever for this state of affairs must be brought to justice and their evil reversed as soon as possible.

The left imports half the 3rd World into your country, bombards them with hate propaganda against your nation and people like you and your family, incites sociopathic violence, and then tries to minimize the damage in the press and excuse this murderous behavior. You do not come even remotely close to hating these people enough.
Imagine you have a lovely apartment in Rue de la Republique in Paris. Your apartment is on the 4th floor so you don’t think you are at risk from the rioters. Yet they set fire to a huge bin and start throwing electric scooters into it. The explosion destroys half of your apartment.
