All this "internet poisoned communists are gainsaying The Movement" would hit harder if mass mobilisation under liberal slogans had come to anything before. If people are effectively converting turnout into organisation that's great, but I'll wait to see that before I expect anything substantive.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Are the edgy leftists in the room with you, or do you just mean "extremely-peripheralized minorities I got mad at online?"

Seeing a lot of posts like "they want say we are angry, but we showed them we are all about joy" It's ok to be angry, too. Anger is necessary, actually.

just guess

it is really amazing the amount of vitriol some people have for socialists when, ostensibly, their biggest point of disagreement is just "I don't think we can afford to do those things". it's almost like they disagree with the other stuff too

We‘ve lost one of the most foundational unifying aspects of being British: our shared hatred and distrust of everything yank. No wonder we’re all so divided

[takes a deep breath] 🗣️ ITS VERY EASY TO BE A GOOD DEBATER WHEN YOUR ONLY STANCE IS HATE AND RELIGION WHERE YOU DON’T HAVE TO BACK UP ANY FACTS WITH ACTUAL EVIDENCE

A key takeaway for people nostalgic for a return to Blairism: You are getting it. The guy who is driving the government is an obsessive Blairite, was groomed and mentored by Blair's key strategist and right-hand man, and every reorganisation pushes the party further in that direction. This is it.

Tbh i don't think we can afford all these prime ministers pensions when the average term is becoming less than 2 years.

The old axiom that you ought not attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity has a great big massive hole in it called 'malicious stupidity'

Just to emphasise the point: The campaign to smear Jeremy Corbyn as an antisemite that led to people describing his pronunication of 'Epstein' as a dogwhistle was spearheaded by a man who was Epstein's "best pal" and who defended him when he was jailed for soliciting minors for prostitution.

Do you remember when musk did the Nazi salute and some Libs were like, he just got excited

What, you mean like when you got divorced and then became a massive transphobe?

"let's keep politics out of it" - someone with one very specific set of politics

Proper checks like “googling his name” and “wikipedia” and “Keir Starmer was a grown man throughout the Blair years”

Right wing Labour never wants to understand its support. Because keeping it on board requires making different choices, choices that don't have directorships and board positions waiting at the end of them.

the existence of stalin delegitimizes the soviet union and in fact communism itself *entirely* in a way that hitler, henry ford, andrew jackson, elon musk, ronald reagan, margaret thatcher, king leopold, and george bush do not delegitimize capitalism. its very cool.

I used to think the whole idealism vs materialism thing didn’t matter but every time you argue with a liberal you get to the center of the point which is that they mystify all of society and history. They detach institutions from the class structures that created and sustain them

Think its important to remind everyone that the moderation team blocked anyone who pointed out that Jesse Signal was cited in the Supreme Court decision to attack Trans people multiple times, months after they violated their own terms of service in order to allow him to continue using this website

When you become a civil, sober politics knower like myself, you understand that by noticing a bad person is bad, you become even worse than them. And they become good

Life hack: when you hear "there's no ideology here," you can usually translate that to "it's misogyny so normalized that no one sees it anymore"

maybe if we condemned Stalin enough the liberals will like us and won’t collaborate with the fascists! This has a good track record of success, let’s do it over and over and over and over and learn FUCKING NOTHING

condemn Stalin. condemn Hamas. condemn Islam. condemn Ché, condemn Fidel. condemn everyone who has had a choice between saying “Yes” and saying “No” and had the temerity to say “No”. Condemn everyone who didn’t bend the knee to Hitler. recriminations for everybody! We’ll never learn, never.

as someone who was very involved in labour under corbyn, I know when the party is briefing against a leader with a view to ousting him and lawd they have started briefing against this man at an INCREDIBLE speed

While we're debating whether or not people can understand satire in video games my buddy from Texas just told me you can finance a gun with no downpayment and no drivers license at this shop next to his kids school lmao what are we supposed to do with that

A lot of lone nuts with no coherent political philosophy seem to be very closely related to one specific political philosophy

To be clear: Mandelson is 71 and his relentless campaign to be made US ambassador has now forced the British government to confirm the Epstein birthday book allegations against the US President are true. Nobody is frightened of Peter because of his potential future influence: he will never have any.

Amazing the proportion of grown adults running away from the fact that if Charlie Kirk wasn't such a hateful piece of shit, he'd almost certainly be alive.

posters joking about charlie kirk were held to a higher standard than the wall street journal this week

watching UK mainstream media yammer incessantly about "threats to free speech" because an influencer in america got shot with not a single word about the !!!NINE HUNDRED ARRESTED PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTERS!!! and I don't even have an adequate metaphor for how fucking pathetically cynical it all is

beth you will always be my queen

Oregon governor Tina Kotek, a gay woman, is ordering flags to be flown at half-staff to honor a podcaster who said gay people should be stoned to death.

How on earth does one “wish harm“ on a dead guy

I was always proud of this one

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

Reminder: they did NOT pay the reward for Luigi.

9/11 occurred because America spent 50+ years funding terrorist orgs across the world. For an understanding of American interventionism, I recommend the podcast Blowback. 9/11 was an avoidable tragedy used by warmongers to further the very imperialism & genocide that caused it in the first place.

The evil that men do lives after them

"have some decorum", "violence is bad", "be careful what you say online"
