Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

I can't wait until we eventually get the Cummings and McSweeney podcast. When we'll finally get the inside track on their misunderstood genius.

Public options for essentials, strategic price interventions, investment in housing and childcare — this is antifascist economics. It tackles the material conditions that make authoritarianism appealing.

Just since 2000: the Iraq War, the Great Financial Crisis, killing the poors with austerity, Lybia, nuking Corbyn in cahoots with the Labour right, monstering asylum seekers, mainstreaming Farage, stomping on trans people, running interference for a genocide, treating protesters as terrorists, etc

Dunno man, this sounds like a bunch of comfortables experiencing what it's like to be a pig person for the first time. Being on the left this has been my experience of the poltical media ecosystem my entire life. Centrists & libs have been hosing me in pure unrefined shit for as long as I can recall

Mandatory digital ID for all, but no phones for school kids. Also we’re making it so you can’t access the internet without giving all your information to the makers of Fortnite.

John Le Carre was right about the British establishment and how the alumni of the best schools will sell out their own country for status and money and in particular a desperate desire for American attention

Weird who gets an apology and retraction for Panorama episodes and who doesn't, isn't it?
The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?

Wrote this on it earlier this week:

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

I recall around 1990 an elderly supply teacher explaining to my class what war is actually like, macho mythology aside. The sound bullets make. Men crying for their mummys as they die on the battlefield. It's haunted me ever since, and certainly played a role in politicising me.
As a teen or young adult in the 1990s you had constant encounters with people in their 50s-80s who were combatants, victims or perpetrators during catastrophes of the mid-20th century

That direct link to realities of Nazism and other forms of oppression such as Stalinism or colonialism is now gone

This is what they’ll tell themselves alright, because it’ll be more convenient than admitting that they’ve fucked it by relentlessly attacking their own supporters until there’s nobody left who likes them or wants what they’re selling.

Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.

The worldview requires that there be external and internal enemies and soft traitors who must all be disciplined by hard men doing purifying violence. You cannot say "look we got rid of the enemies for you, are you happy now?" That fully, fundamentally misunderstands everything going on here.

As we have been saying: Keir Starmer could personally machine gun refugees in the channel and *it still wouldn't be enough* because the entire point of the fascist worldview is to rage against the external and internal enemies of the people and the soft traitors who enable them.

This is how you do wash trading. All these companies are investing in each other paying each other bits of the same trillion dollars in order to make it look like they’re so close to AGI so investors will keep giving them money to lose.

This is also known as a Junkie’s promise.

On the question of why everyone hates the current PM, here: this feels exactly right to me. And straight up, I do not feel like any replacement leader who would be tolerated by the press could do better than this. Possibly worse, if anything.

Been out out this afternoon for a birthday shindig. Some excellent sushi, a decent katsu curry and about five pints. Gaffer threw up the bat-signal and I responded.

The Reds could learn from this sort of application and flexibility.

Enjoy.

Indeed. And more than that, it's a reaction to it. What rattled elite racists more than anything about BLM in 2020 was the extent to which it resonated with the general public. They saw a major leftward shift in hegemonic cultural values, and they've been desperately trying to reverse it ever since.
The breaking down of anti-racism norms *in elite circles* in British politics is starkly at odds with the direction of public opinion on race.
Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.

Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

The consistent attempts to demonise, stigmatise and other the anti-genocide movement ("unBritish") is a form of political collusion with the genocide. It directly echoes and amplifies the propaganda of the state committing the genocide, and seeks to alleviate political pressure on its accomplices.
