@budududuroiu @wizzwizz4 being there you can get an understanding of size because of how slowly it moves xx

I... am I the only one who can see that both the angle and distance of the perspective of these two pictures is *wildly* different? Like, to the point where comparing them seems...worthless?

You will hear all most next to nothing about this in the MSM

28 03 26They media is also continuing the op that if people vote for Greens they're gonna get Reform, and that "right wing movements are surging everywhere" and that "anti-immigrant sentiment is universal", all of which are refuted by literally every material measure of politics in the West right now.
They just can't, for the life of them, talk about "leftism" being popular, because that would violate every tenet of their ideology.

Absolutely. I had to really search hard for coverage yesterday. And I don't think it was because I was USian. It looked like the UK MSM downplayed it, too. The Met tried hard to undecount the crowd and they directly antagonized PA so they could make arrests and justify their characterization of the organization.I also think that on *both* sides of the Pond, we need a firm rally cry that is easy to remember and covers what it is we are trying to change. France had Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. We need something like that. I am not sure No Kings, No Tyrants, or Hands Off are quite right. And with the London march (fantastic!) "Together Alliance" could use a little workshopping, too.
People smarter than I am ought to be able to come up with something. I know the Far Right is Way Wrong, but I'm not sure how to express that where it's catchy enough. Branding seems like a small thing, but in this case, I think it could really help. How do we get the fight vs. Fascism and Greed boiled down to something simple?

So the event in England isn't called No Kings? -
@LaD_Hallo @TCatInReality look at the bias in this
The 4th paragraph is bold text and talks about 100,000 marchers
Yesterday's march is described as tens of 1,000s
@Geri @TCatInReality Ok, moving the goalposts, I get it. The BBC has high standards in reporting and is compared to many private news outfits, relatively independent. I think we can be happy here in Europe that we still have public broadcasters.

@johnzajac @Geri @wizzwizz4 why? It's a suggestion of scale, not a SI unit of measurement
