You might think this would show something was badly wrong with right wing politics in general
Weird there's been so little analysis of how rightwingers worldwide have proved that their talk of patriotism and sovereignty was bullshit. They'd give it all up for this grotesque horror.
Of course that would entail admitting the left were correct about them, so we'll just never talk about it.

this is the sort of shit i mean when i say that one of the main reasons this has all gotten so fucked is because politicians and journalists cannot allow it into their heads for a second that donald trump is exactly who he says he is and he is not doing the ol' 4D chess.
Kemi Badenoch tells the BBC's Matt Chorley that if she were prime minister, Donald Trump would simply not be like this.

Was gonna reply to Gaby Hinsliff's post about the need to follow right wingers to avoid an "echo chamber" but she has already blocked me. Probably by a list.
Sensible Centrists never do talk about the need to follow left wingers do they?

NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
The illustration of Scottish elements inexplicably contains a bald eagle.

AI means a massive acceleration of the Americanisation of other countries' cultures. There's no way to stop it doing things like this. It's been fed too much data that says "bald eagles = patriotic".
