The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Great article, but one sentence stood out to me…

“If your worldview only works when tragedy fits your prejudice, you’re not building a movement. You’re running a grievance factory”

Superb 👏👏
The Liverpool attack wasn’t terrorism. But the far-right didn’t wait for facts – they had a script ready.

This piece by The Bear cuts through the noise to show how outrage is manufactured.

Read how this works ⤵️

What the Liverpool incident tells us about the new culture war
Forty-seven people were injured. The facts were clear. But the far-right had already written the script

Reform UK says it’ll ‘reset’ Britain inch by inch.

But to what?

Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth.
