You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now.
Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate.
Look at the double standards.
Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy.
This is America.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

It's taken the New York Times a decade to finally realize how the far right works. They amplify a handful of random posts by nobodies as a characterization of the entire left and then get outraged by it. That in turn drives media coverage and takes over the media cycle for weeks.

The only possible reason for wanting to leave the EHCR (Equality and Human Rights Commission), which is designed to protect human rights, is because you want to be able to abuse those rights. No ifs, no buts, that's your plan.

The right-wing Blue Labour faction who have enormous influence over Keir Starmer are advising him to go all-in on US-style culture war bollocks by "rooting out DEI" to pander to Reform voters.
There are multiple reasons that this is a deeply stupid and reactionary strategy.

Imitating Farage's imported US-style culture war bollocks is an absurdly dense idea
Reform are beating Labour in the polls and pushing US-style culture war bollocks, so the idiots at Blue Labour are proposing that Starmer focus public attention on US-style culture war bollocks!

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

People have said wrestling is the music between the notes. I think an issue I have with modern WWE is it's often just five major notes and people spending five minutes between each one making shocked faces as announcers scream "HE PLAYED A NOTE. HE PLAYED A NOTE."

It’s interesting that literally every time these people are forced to consider the views of the electorate, the solution is always either lying to them or some form of shenanigans and fuckery
