Police in the United Kingdom are using data from period tracking apps and mass spectrometry tests conducted on blood, placenta, and urine to investigate patients who have had “unexplained” miscarriages.
Though abortion is legal in the UK, there are TRAP laws in place requiring certain conditions to be met first, paramount of which is that two separate doctors need to agree that the patient meets the criteria of the 1967 Abortion Act before any treatment can go ahead. Self-managed abortion is a criminal offense with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the UK, as is any abortion performed after the pregnancy has progressed passed 23 weeks and six days, unless the patient is at risk of serious physical harm or death, or the fetus has severe developmental anomalies.
Because their revolution has worked great without any social structure.
Which revolution was that? Like the Founding Fathers, or January 6th, or the police, or what?
All of the radical right wing violence leading to more radical right wing politicians and radical right wing division from society on a local level. Also, the radical right wing threats of violence against political opponents that gives us shitbags like MTG.
But right-wing political parties are a social structure. Voting works better than dying in a hail of bullets, and voting works even better if you’ve got no qualms with gerrymandering to retain power.
So…vote harder?
Maybe that could have worked for us decades ago? I don’t know.
Where does “dying in a hail of bullets” come into play?
Storm the police station
So your police will fire wildly at a crowd of civilians? You have already lost. You are under fascist rule. You will now have to arm yourselves to survive.
In all of these discussions the defense from the left is always “we are weak and pathetic”.
The opponent does not think this way.
I agree, we should all be armed! That’s great for self-defense or an escape.
But for you individually, your odds of survival go down if you attack the police station. If you sit that one out, you can free ride off other people dying to protect you from a common bully.
OR…just become ungovernable. This is how civil wars are actually waged worldwide.
