I note that everywhere the right wins now, they push for some mix of wars of aggression, looting and destroying the public realm, impunity for corruption and war crimes, roasting the planet with hydrocarbons, deforestation, destroying public education, ethnic supremacy and McCarthyist crackdowns.

How do you know these people are extremists? Because they cannot be appeased, even as our entire political/media class enforces their demands and repeats their drivel. It makes them not one bit happier, because they don’t want compliance: they want more extreme, forceful and violent measures.

“Israel is a very racist country, its government routinely commits horrific crimes” was a humdrum opinion, fifteen years ago: never uncontroversial, but well within mainstream though. Now, our whole political/media class believes it is insanely extreme. Who is it that has been radicalised, here?

Here’s Chapoman Matt Christman in 2017, after that torchlit fascist rally in Charlottesville. We’re almost ten years later now. Does anything here sound wrong? I would say no, it is not wrong.

Perhaps these lads have said very bad things? Maybe, but they don’t appear to be public figures in any meaningful way. They are just randoms.

Do you notice any tonal differences in the way the lads talk about Reform and the Tories, despite the latter also being very extreme? Do you notice which parties get “How inappropriate” vs “Now we must hound these scum until their sickness has been eradicated from politics”.

She was murdered by transphobia 😥😥😥

it's the most Labour brained response to fascists acting openly on our streets, trans people denied healthcare and basic human dignity, migrants having their lives actively threatened and to just nod along that all that is good and proper & that all we need is a new fine for people being annoying

The Tory leader tried to make a councillor out of a Neo Nazi criminal who had literally been *sent to prison for racist hounding of a Jewish MP*. When she couldn’t do that, she made him an antiracism advisor. That was, what, two months ago.a

This is sociopathic. How cooked are the British media/political class to consider the statement "our country has more living disabled people than soldiers" in any way remarkable, let alone in any way bad? It's literally the kind of thing Nazis would worry about.

Is it racist, though? If the statement is so outrageous, you’d think it would be very simple to rebut. And yet, nobody has tried: they just point and screech like Donald Sutherland in Bodysnatchers, and never address the question. I wonder why nobody wants to do that?

Difficult to explain how utterly disgusting it is that a bunch of nice social workers, teachers and nurses used the democratic system to promote their opposition to extremely racist violence, and they were crushed for it by people who threw Britain’s support behind this, to curry favour with America

Do you see this? This is lots of people who saw clearly that The Day Of Reckoning was coming, and wanted to do something to prevent it. And the world’s most poisonous, ugliest, most horrifying media class told the public it was a “carnival of hate”, and similar things www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

We talk about this as racism but it’s important to understand that the term does not mean “Using slurs and making bigoted assumptions” here. It is racism in the 19th century sense of “Science, laws and god show these people are inferior, and so we are free to inflict terrible cruelty upon them”.

I remember saying more than five years ago that it was obviously insane and potentially disastrous to start treating any Palestinian flags and symbols as automatically terrifying racism, and I see the decision was to just insist upon it constantly and fuck the consequences.

Again, there was almost no public element in this: no organic surge in public opinion to demand it. It was simply imposed upon Britain by the world’s most hateful and poisonous media outlets, by leaning hard on our ever-compliant political leaders, who are always happy to say yes to the tabloids.

What’s happened is that the worse everything gets, and the more despicable and unjustifiable the crimes get, the more and more intensely focused all these important people become on things like one woman with an offensive placard. Because what else have they got? Not much.

The whole thing for almost a decade now has been an incredibly furious one-sided argument, entirely about theoretical things or objects: motions, slogans, signs, symbols, statements, flags, chants, artworks, songs, cartoons, words, you name it. Anything at all *except for* the murder and destruction

EGG HEAD - Pump it to the brick, pump it to the hard master! There is no other way. Glue-style. SOONA, THE PROGRAMMER - See? She turns to face you, ready to give up. He *pumps it to the hard master*. It's hopeless...

Do you note how “we’re going to round up and mass deport a million people” is rarely received with either visceral disgust or screaming, puking fury? How it’s considered instead in terms of its potential appeal to the public.

I think we do have to acknowledge that the Greens putting their leader up has been disastrous, there. Not for the Greens particularly - I am a bit 🤷🏼‍♂️ on that - but for the country, and for Britain as a democratic system. There needed to be serious consequences for the Starmer debacle: there are none.

So: something has changed in 20 years. What is it? It’s that our political/media class has wholesale imported the wildly extreme, very violent crackpot ideology of the American right, and together they have been ruthlessly enforcing it upon the populace.

Also, the most consequential, astonishing revelation 2016-26 is that the centre-left and the centre-right are largely the same thing; they’re all fully onboard with the manifesto of the National Front in the 70s regarding migration and racism, and they’re all roaring authoritarian wackos re: protest

They treat those who seek peace as a threat to the public realm, while throwing a defensive cordon around those engaged in genocide. They treat environmental protesters as if they were antisocial thugs, while the antisocial thugs of the fossil fuel industry get a free pass to trash our lives.

The same people spent the four years before that fighting to get the worst headlines they possibly could, as part of an intense clandestine effort to deliberately crash the plane, so that they could be pilots of the wreckage. So that’s *a decade* burned, just on the entitlement of the Labour right.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Stepping down ASAP as an MP after being hailed as a man of pure selfless dedication to duty and service is at least quite funny, I think. One last fuck you to everyone who ever carried water for him, which is a lot of people.

Perennial reminder that the big corporation does not care about you and there are better alternatives.

the luigi situation is interesting in that while most people obviously think killing is wrong, there's a general exception given for killing someone who is killing others, & apparently a lot of people think that the US healthcare system is ran by killers killing people for profit, so y'know

every now and then I wish Tolkien had leaned harder into the strange anachronisms present in the Shire and had the hobbits escape from the Nazgul to Rivendell by hurtling along in an old Edwardian car like Mr Toad
