It looks to me like the squillionaires considered the question “Would you like to 1) live in a semi-functional society, but be a bit less rich and powerful, or 2) get everything your way but everyone despises you and you have to be guarded by a small army”. They have decisively chosen 2).

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Again, you *have to* have a Tesco card or your shopping costs even more than the already crazy prices! Do you see how all the arguments against objections amount to tiny gilded class saying “we already treat you like cattle, so it’s stupid for you object to us fucking you in new and exciting ways”.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

I wonder whether there’s any notable overlap between very rich men being enraged at being publicly and truthfully accused of committing sex offences, and TV and newspapers suddenly filling up with terrifying, screaming horseshit about The Left destroying freedom? Somebody should look into that IMO

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:
1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society
2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Angela Rayner bent to just about all of current Labour's demands (derogatory). She has spent five years betraying her old values and making sure she toes the party line. And the party has Corbyn'd her anyway. I hope other leftwing MPs take this as a valuable lesson.

The thing that's so difficult in fighting pseudoscience is that its followers fundamentally don't believe in expertise.
Exceptional people? Sure. The naturally gifted? of course.
But I've talked to people face-to-face who simply don't believe people can get better at things.
