We cannot maintain a stable society that teaches its children that they can only either be moral or successful, but that we expect them to be both anyway, and will treat them as human failures otherwise.

Ethics and morality have sadly little in common in our current world.
We live in a world where the morality of an action is based mostly upon on it's current popularity, and where ethics would only ask if you hurt anyone important to your customers to achieve it.
It's the sophistry of nightmares.

Badenoch is the thin damp streak that's all that remains of the Conservatives.
Not least because Labour's replaced them in approach and Reform have replaced them in bile.

The only success Trump has had is in cementing the US and its population as the most arrogant and unintelligent people on the planet.
That shit will stick.

If the mansion tax enables people to amend their property to avoid it, we must either base it on land value, or current area value.

Isn't Thanksgiving a bit like the UK's Windrush day, where we "apologetically" celebrate the people we harmed most as colonisers by attacking or deporting them all while eating good food and talking amongst ourselves about how compassionate, free and inclusive we all are as a people?

The issue of nihilism isn't resolved through ideology, but through humility and curiosity.
We create the meaning of our reality by deciding and creating the mechanisms we approach it with.
It's vital, but describes still only us and our perspectives/experiences, not anything in reality otherwise

If you need to use medieval or ancient history to justify your behaviours, they're probably shit. Whatever your religion.

Be cautious when it comes to self-reflection. There is a big difference between the things we believe which are verifiable and those which are mere choices, habits or judgements that we justify with belief.
We also lie most often and successfully to ourselves. Never accept your first answer as true

Corporations are not people. They are mechanisms owned by people and as such, need to be re-legislated as such. Individuals with financial ownership or part-ownership should always be held accountable for corporate malfeasance, and tax needs to be paid on capital ownership, not HQ base locations.

Good news neolibs! Under a Lammy justice system only your golfing buddy will need to decide if you're guilty of fraud or corporate malfeasance.

Removing the hard-fought for trial by jury from the justice system might well be easy to sell as an efficiency, but trying to sell it as an improvement in the justice system rather than an 800 year roll-back of Magna Carta is just silly.

Looking forward to what I expect will be a trickle-down your leg budget, where what's left of a government will try to convince the poorest of the UK that the stripping back of public services, increased privatisation of the NHS through a previously failed initiative and the continued suffering...

I don't think Starmer's boring. I think he does all of his shit where the media aren't.
I think Labour takes as much advantage of the distractibility and reactivity of the general population as the far right parties do to push through as much damaging legislation as they can under the radar.

I'm genuinely curious, because to me it's kind of nuts.

We have created a world where it's near impossible to be both ethical and successful, and blame each other for the distinction.
We have to play the board we're thrown onto, sure, - but we might benefit from recognising we design not only the rules, but also the nature of the board.
