So one of the reasons Labour won't stand up to the US is because they're devoted to making Palantir, a contractor whose motto is "software that dominates", whose founders embrace the positions of Curtis Yarvin, Carl Schmitt, Oswald Mosley, and fucking Sauron, central to Britain's data infrastructure
Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

You might wonder how any Labour politician could stay upright in the complete absence of a spine. However if you look closely, you'll see that they're being propped up by a stack of newspapers.
"Has the PM decided yet whether president Trump has beached international law?"
Govt minister Mike Tapp: "This is complex.. what we aren't here to do is give running commentary under pressure from social media.. to jump to conclusions"

Lammy looks at the cross, a symbol of a man slowly being murdered on an imperial torture device, and affirms his true meaning of the crucifixion: that not even the Son of Man will be spared punishment for defying the true law of the world–power gets to do what it wants and alone names it justice.
These monsters will strip you of every last right & claim it's ok cos god told them to

This is going to be a critical thing to understand about British politics for the next forty years: they knew this was genocide. Nobody can ever admit what they have done here. This is also important for the last forty years, where they’ve all been lying about our crimes in Northern Ireland.
Worse: having chosen to side with genocidaires, they cannot ever admit what they’ve done now without going to jail. They have forever implicated all of us, all of Britain, in America’s genocide, and they will sink the whole fucking island before they admit their malfeasance.

I spent over a year writing a book linking mass data production, imperialism, and subjectivation in the economy of social media. None of it comes close to seeing a US cabinet of fascist influencers in a florida club turned war room, monitoring posts about their crimes across 3 tabs of fuckin twitter

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Lads I'm sorry to say it, but I don't think that a state that has been at war for over 90% of its history and is currently being run by an alliance of nazi pedophiles and techbros cosplaying Sauron is ultimately all that receptive to good faith dialogue and debate in the marketplace of ideas.

The Imperialists will not stop until they're stopped. There is no norm or law which can tame total impunity. Impunity has no conscience. It has no need of one. The only way to stop them is ultimately for the apparatuses of impunity to be broken and their commanders' power nullified.

The argument begins with "Reform meet working people in their communities, where they live" and ends with "The Left (tm) needs to meet working people where they live, namely in a big tv studio where I get paid for it". It starts with organising then ends by equating it with punditry. Total bollocks!
