The centre: At least we’re not racist!

The right: At least we’re racist!

The left: 🦗🦗🦗

Turnout is key and the centre is prob maxed out already, so exposing Farage as the racist he obviously is may even backfire—at least until anyone can credibly promise actual material improvements.

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

Jo Wolff @jowolff.bsky.social · Nov 13

Banal observation, sorry, but conversations in Prague really brought home to me that while countries come and go, cities have a historical existence and character that typically is far more resilient.

It’s fine if we’re talking about change mechanism and whether they could work today, yes. But just appealing to past glories is also something people do.

enzo rossi @enzoreds.bsky.social · Nov 9

A thing I don’t love about the Left—l do this myself sometimes—is appealing to how we used to do things as an argument for what we should do now: “When we were strong we did stuff like this”. Nostalgia is borderline conservatism. It’s tempting, but no. The way forward is through.

Een week geleden werd BIJ1 met een kater wakker. Het was de antikapitalistische en dekoloniale partij niet gelukt om de in 2023 verloren zetel terug te winnen? Piet Rietman keek tijdens de campagne mee achter de schermen. Hij bespreekt

Il malessere olandese - Jacobin Italia

Nei Paesi Bassi l'estrema destra di Willders si ferma, a vantaggio dei liberali. Ma la sinistra olandese ha ottenuto il suo peggior risultato di sempre. Ecco perché.

“I don’t know if melancholy is the gaze that allows you to see how rotten everything is, or the inability to see beyond that rottenness. If it’s the first, it can be salvaged. If it’s the second, I agree with the futurists.”

Quite a few shows about burying yourself in a controlled environment underground lately: Severance, Fallout, The Silo. The Good Place, sort of. The empire is feeling the pinch.

People on twitter are losing their minds over this, including several scientists who I have to assume have either brain poisoned themselves or were always like this. People don't always cite what's best; they cite what they know & researchers from historically excluded communities get the short end.

Dutch cinema is not in great state but this is an excellent film: technically accomplished, a narration that makes the most of moving images as a medium. Keep an eye on this director.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

It’s amazing. They try to appease them every which way. They gave them Brexit and look at Farage now. They never learn a thing

There are two kinds of reactionary centrism:

1. "The radical left are lunatics, the far right has legitimate concerns"

2. "Vote for me and uphold zombie neoliberalism or else you are helping the fascists"

They are inconsistent but people like Starmer, Marcon & co switch between them all the time.
