The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.
Two tier justice indeed.

You won't get a seat at the masters table & this all ends with children in cages & people being rounded up because of what side of an imaginary line they were born on to justify our ever worsening living conditions.

Calling this a conspiracy overcomplicates what is standard operating practice for a system working as intended.
Capitalism and free markets are great in practice, but when exposed to cold hard realities they rot from the inside out and humanity pays the price..

Democracy under capitalism is at best a switcheroo between two competing views of global capitalism and at worse a theatre of fools.
A press owned by the same billionaires who lobby government is essentially employees working for the same guy asking each other to a script.

Capitalism will always decay into a corporate autocracy -
Under capitalism money(capital) and power are interchangeable, power gets you money money gets you power and we all get stiffed.
Capitalists will always side with fascists because above all they do not threaten capital.

This is primarily why I'm not a capitalist because money and power are interchangeable under that economic model and therefore it can never be democratic, add to that intergenerational wealth and it's a surprise anyone even pretends we have any say in any of this.
Thread on how I see the US political system.
1. Money wins campaigns. From 2000 to 2016 the side that has the money usually gets the office. Politicians and political parties know this, so this is their constituency, not the voters.

If you told me Paul Mason had a brain transplant it would make more sense.
For example Peter Hitchens was a Communist with Marxist analysis until he found religion, still great analysis.. nonsense conclusions.
I bought Mason's books, the guy has fallen for no explicable reason.

To survive the right wing surge we need "tough liberalism" rooted in working class experience ... Starmer is one of the few global centre left politicians who gets it

If you want the true measure of a liberal or a libertarian, ask them how they feel about open borders.
Often their freedom comes with caveats and lines around race although in truth class it's why both these groups break right when the going gets...just gets really.

Yet has the worst healthcare in the developed world.
