I agree with Hesse.
“We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots, and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering, and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing."
~ Hermann Hesse

Almost like turning up with a sales pitch of "Don't worry! We're just like the Tories on every issue they care about!" isn't a winning strategy.
Big Ipsos/Mori poll today which is not a comfortable read for Labour. But I think this one is telling:
Confidence in Lab / Con long term economic plans...
Labour
Confident 29%
Not 62%
Con
Confident 28%
Not 61%
People are incredibly disillusioned with both major parties.

This is really good to see: Sandi Toksvig has been supportive previously but this is a new clarity.
This is open support for Trans people at a level which she knew in advance would bring her hate and abuse.
She's done it anyway.

A fun quote from James Cameron about the Terminator movie as cops use music from the film to promote their Cybertruck:
“Cops think of all non-cops as less than they are, stupid, weak, and evil. They dehumanize the people they are sworn to protect and desensitize themselves in order to do that job.”

Because if we learned anything from the Terminator franchise, it's that cops are good.

Fascism is not immune to enshittification. The SA and the Blackshirts were mostly war vets, their modern equivalent were radicalized because a streamer named DaJizzDragon told them Jews made Lara Croft’s tits smaller

Yeah, this bump on the road was confusing.
Meaningful goals are derived from emotions & experiences we value & want to experience-- which makes goal setting complicated for trauma survivors, in that we've often been convinced that it's pointless or "selfish" to pursue emotions & experiences we like.
But it's not.
But it's not.

the political dynamics of Hurricane Helene are wildly frustrating, but they are a great example of how fascist politics work. there is a real problem, and real solutions are available, but blame gets foisted onto vulnerable communities instead.
