Secular Progressive Futurist. Anti Brexit. Antitheist. Learning Italian (very slowly). Opposed to all forms of fascism and autocracy, whether on the left, right, religious, or corporate. ID as alien so gender tags pointless ;)

So the Epstein files were on Pam Bondi's desk, then suddenly didn't exist at all, now they do exist again but are a Deep State/Radical Left fake?

So nothing suspicious about any of that at all.

Trump must think MAGA are the dumbest and most gullible people on the planet. He could be right.

One bunch of religious lunatics attacking another bunch of religious lunatics while a third (Christian fundies in the US looking forward to the apocalypse) enthusiastically applaud.

It's like human beings are still living in the 13thC but with 21stC weapons and technology.

Not a great situation.

2000 years ago the Jews threw themselves at the Romans in a suicidal revolt, believing that doing so would also trigger the "End Times".

It didn't of course, it just led to mass slaughter and the destruction of an entire belief system.

Insane we hardly seem to have progressed at all since then.

Well in that case it should be very easy for you to EXPLAIN where you believe I'm wrong and why then, shouldn't it.

So, feel free to do so ...

Especially nowadays. Cos a significant percentage of the human population would think they were "demons" or signs of the End Times or some impending 5G zombie apocalypse or a Deep State psyop.

(Especially conservatives, who seem particularly prone to bullshit conspiracy nonsense, for some reason.)

Totally agree, it's pathetic.

Don't know the details yet, but unless it's completely insubstantial and meaningless, it will inevitably mean significantly lowering UK food, agricultural, Consumer Protection and other standards, in order to accept more crappy, low-standard American produce. 😡

Agreed. Also a failure of vision.

Labour's current approach on so many issues seems totally myopic.

E.g., sucking up to the fascist Oligarchy emerging in the US because they want a trade deal.

One which will inevitably mean significantly lowering UK food, Consumer Protection & other standards.

Labour's cowardice on the issue of the EU & Single Market hasn't helped much either.

Aside from the Greens, Plaid and Lib Dems, none of whom get much media coverage, it's almost as if Brexit is the subject no one wants to talk about now.

Reform are pro-Putin, pro-Trump, MAGA wannabe trash ..

Difficult to overstate how much this guy is despised around the world, including here in the UK ..

(The idea of getting Trump to do a pathetic sales pitch for him, given how unpopular Mango Mussolini also is outside MAGA-land .. as if this would somehow help .. was just hilarious .. )

Reich House drawing up plans within the next 90 days, for use of the US military for "law enforcement" purposes.

This from a President who himself is now effectively completely above the law thanks to the US Supreme Court.

So nothing remotely fascist or authoritarian about any of this, obviously.

It CAN, the obvious question is whether it will.

Fascism (autocracy, destroying liberal democracy etc) has essentially been normalised in the US .. by various forms of Christian fundamentalism, by the MAGA Cult, by Fox News, etc.

We have to beware a similar pattern repeating itself here too.

Can't say I blame it. Being associated with the Earth can't exactly be a great look right now.

Especially with the number of lunatic humans pushing bullshit conspiracies about everything under the Sun.

(I probably just insulted it by calling them Lunatics, too.)

The fact he’s being offered State Visits and meetings with the King – with the head of the Commonwealth - at the very same time Trump is threatening the literal *existence* of a Commonwealth country, Canada, is beyond disgusting.

And all because Keir Starmer wants a Trade Deal ..

F the US. 😡🇨🇦🇪🇺

Or Qu'ran or Torah, or any such collections of interesting ONLY in what they tell us about obsolete human cultures/equally obsolete "value" systems.

Future will either be Secular (one in which these mythologies play ZERO part in public/political life) or we will not have one, worth living, at all.

I didn't say or imply that it did happen in the US.

I said that they shouldn't have been buying Pringles or Coke.

(I was also being kind of ironic, though if you are American I guess you may have missed that .. 😷 )
