Ok, I guess this is a matter of opinion, but 'cops going around asking people about some purple rocks' just doesn't pass the sniff test for me

Surely the point is that the OP couldn't possibly have known what the authority thought about their painted stones, unless:

  1. they had a personal contact, which is quite the omission

or

  1. the authorities were putting up posters around town, interviewing door-to-door etc

Ime they're often profoundly ignorant on anything outside the US, but I hear there's now a Lat Am franchise that is much better

The thing is when you're the global hegemon there's no such thing as 'far away'

In the case of UK Labour, they got fewer votes in absolute terms this time than under Corbyn, and only marginally improved on his vote share in 2019's wipeout— what really got them into power was Conservative discipline collapsing as soon as Corbynism was dead and there was no longer any threat to the political consensus, combined with the quirks of a constituency-based fptp electoral system. Veering right is a 'vote winner' for a nominally left/centre party only in that it buys you the right to participate in the first place.

We've seen a similar phenomenon with UK Labour recently, and I think it's down to a complex of all of the above, multiplied by the fact that these people really are just incredibly right wing ghouls who believe that the silent majority are on their side 🤷

Even in genuinely revolutionary situations where violent overthrow is an immediate goal, discipline is absolutely key.

+1 for borg + hetzner storage box, though externals do give pretty good value for some uses. I have all my movies/tv on a 6tb external and it would have cost so much more to do it any other way
