impossible to overstate how every single press org in the UK, from the Canary to the Times to whatever else is entirely bare-faced lies and state propaganda. there isn't a single place you can get actual trustworthy stories from. The UK is the most propagandised hermit state in Europe.

The News Agents is a great case study of centrism because they actively describe how the sausage is made and yet none of their audience say 'Wait - what the fuck do you mean you ran a story because some Labour spad told you to?'

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Yes, many people of my generation really did come of age in the 90s imagining themselves to be the last word in enlightened liberalism. The last man at the end of history. The emancipatory politics of the past decade struck at the heart of that self image, hence the viscerally hard reactionary turn
