That's not human nature
The appreciation of beauty, curiosity, and wonder is human nature
Our social systems suppress that human nature and encourage hate and negativity
Too many peoples' lives have been made depressing
That's where the negativity comes from
Human nature is good, actually

Online Right circa 2014 was talking about intentionally moving the Overton Window using memes & dogwhistles
It's just part of the broader trend: conversations that previously used to happen in niche spaces are now more visible, probably due to Twitter

No they just consider the presence of anyone who is not white to be 'mass uncontrolled immigration'.
That phrase is just a euphemism for 'undesirables'.
It's clearly just thinly veiled ethnonationalism

The fact that social media caused this does not mean standard pre-iphone establishment politics were good or sustainable.
They created the conditions for this, after all
In a different world, social media could have been immensely positive
Its down to the incentives social media companies face

I think there's something to be learned from how the right shunned things like the Met Gala,
endorsements from celebs and being associated with those institutions is now a negative because they evoke the 'smug out of touch elite' and people now broadly have 0 respect for the former cultural elite

Yeah that's what scares me the most about the 'net contributor' discourse.
If people start seeing everything from that lens, and it becomes accepted as 'common sense', things can get really dark.

I fear this 'prove you're a net contributer' thing is going to be a really dark feature of life in Britain for many people in the near future.
And looking at it from a purely balance sheet perspective, not taking into account second order contributions, is also economically daft

There is no public support *yet*
Public support for policies isn't a natural, uncontrollable phenomenon
The people who want this policy will start manufacturing support
All it takes is a year or two of reporting every crime or misdeed by someone on ILR as front page news and the support will come

Just noticed something:
Exemptions to Data Protection Act - what's that about? They want to be able to dox migrants legally? Sell data to friends in Silicon Valley? (thought they were doing that already).

Yeah they've laid groundwork for revoking citizenship already, I fear people are overrating the extent to which Naturalised Citizens will be off limits in the next few years
Already lots of talk of 'paper Brits'
Get citizenship by all means but I'm not so sure it means you're out of the crosshairs

The age of 'quiet deliverism' as a political strategy is over, social media killed it.
You need to be constantly arguing, attacking, campaigning to dominate the news cycle, otherwise it doesn't matter what you deliver - see Biden.
So yes, Starmer needs to be pushing back.

Seriously, 'international reputation' is your angle?
1. Ppl who support this do not care about reputation/soft power because no one in the public discourse is providing a coherent argument for why it matters
2. Other countries are moving in the same direction
It's not 2014 anymore, please wake up

This will work for a while, but never forget the anti-Polish rhetoric of the Brexit campaign
That 'Okay' can turn into 'Not Okay' very quickly
Not to mention the cases of white Europeans getting kidnapped by ICE in the US

It's not collective cowardice, it's a concerted push by a very cohesive movement
The ones who look like cowards are just hedging their bets so they can go back if the push fails
If the push succeeds, they'll say they were always in favour of it - and will likely be telling the truth in saying so

Oh they want to promote it - they just know it's a bit too early.
Takes a while for sentiments to be planted, then they need to be left to simmer for a bit.
Once enough of the public sees ILR as the root of their problems (currently it's asylum),
then they'll promote it

It's always in flux, the right intentionally do not draw any clear lines, gives them maximum rhetorical flexibility as they work towards their aims
I think their current aim is the Dubai model where no one can ever be settled
The further right are obviously laying foundations to go even further

They're workshopping this on Twitter already
I think they're struggling to find enough examples to fit the narrative. In Lam's replies, there's talk of going through records of medical tribunals to find misconduct cases
Lam's already posted a couple of cases of immigrant doctors doing bad things

Once enough of the public has been primed to associate legal immigrants on ILR with bad things, then they'll talk about it.
It's very obvious once you update your model of the right to view them as a cohesive group acting strategically as agents working towards objectives.

big voices on the right understand it's too early - they havent manufactured enough consent for the public.
Their propaganda efforts for the past year have been focused on asylum, not ILR. Just wait till the Telegraph etc start reporting on every crime committed by someone on ILR as frontpage news.
