Geriatric Gardener
I’m a refugee from X/Twitter who’s been on Masto for over a year. Recently cancelled from Kolektiva for not being sufficiently anarchistic! Sadly failed to redirect my content/ followers from that instance 😩. I’m a granddad who is proudly #Socialist, #AntiRacist, #AntiZionist, #AntiFascist, #Internationalist, #Feminist and all-round despiser of the current crop of lying, hypocritical, warmongering British/ European/ US political classes! To keep sane in this insane world I enjoy gardening!

Sadly, we Brits have a LOT to answer for historically! Our imperial use of systematic violence was no different from that used by our rivals. We were just better at hiding it. [see Elkins C., “Legacy of Violence: a history of the British Empire”]
Eg we pioneered concentration camps & mass starvation (Boer War); mass murder of civilians (India, Palestine, Ireland, Kenya); reprisal killings (Ireland); torture (Ireland, Kenya); rape, & castration (Kenya);
