• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

The government can do anything it wants to you in this capitalist hellhole cut your benefits so you can't afford to live make you homeless and you just have to put up with it

The government has the power to do whatever it wants because it controls the laws, the economy, and the institutions that enforce them. If they decide to cut benefits, raise taxes, or change policies that make life harder, there's not much the average person can do to stop it. They justify these decisions with excuses like "budget constraints" or "reducing dependency," but in reality, it's about controlling resources and keeping people in a constant state of struggle so they don't have the time or energy to fight back.

They control the money, meaning they determine how much support people get through welfare, disability benefits, and public services. If they decide to cut funding, people who rely on it are left with no alternatives. They also control the laws, so even if policies are harmful, they are still legal because the government makes and enforces the rules. Protesting or resisting can be met with fines, arrests, or other legal consequences.

Housing is another major issue. Rising rents, lack of social housing, and rules that make it harder for people to get assistance all serve to make homelessness a growing problem. If benefits get cut, many can't afford rent, and the government doesn't care. The system isn't designed to help people—it's designed to function in a way that benefits the government and wealthy elites. If some people get crushed in the process, that's seen as an acceptable loss.

Even if people vote, protest, or complain, it rarely changes anything. The system is built to be unchangeable unless it benefits those in power. The people suffering the most have the least ability to challenge it because they're too busy just trying to survive. It's a vicious cycle—make people dependent, then cut off support and blame them for struggling. And if someone ends up homeless or starving, the government acts like it's their fault instead of the result of policies designed to keep people desperate.

They take away peaceful ways to ctb yet want to cut our benefits and provide no way to help us contribute to society. We are expected to adapt to a sick society

The Scandinavia countries are the happiest. I heard doctors there will send patients to places like greece or somewhere sunny island for depression?
