The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024. Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion. American capitalism is off the rails.

Lowe doesn't need the money but the 'thrill' of engagment can be just as corrupting as the love of cash & if engagement/cash increase according to the extremity of the opinions expressed then you need integrity to resist the temptation to become ever more offensive. This is what Musk has engineered.

PS I may return to this thread with practical examples of how counter-narratives work. In the meantime, listen to my three-part pod on Aesop. It is ALL about how narratives are constructed to access the inaccessible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Facts are essential, but this cannot be fought primarily on facts. Such spooky tales take root in deeper recesses. Progressives must find an emotionally astute response; one that tells a different tale, promises a better future, soothes the same triggered instincts and returns people to reason. 7/7

The societal breakdown that pressing this button has the capacity to cause, is not some collateral damage to the political objectives of those pressing it. It IS their political objective. The only way a gov't with a majority of 150 seats can be dislodged, is via violent means. Wise up to this. 6/7

It is effective because, for many, it bypasses reason, speaks to deeper emotional anxieties, savage instincts. THIS is the button that will now be pressed again and again. Accuracy is irrelevant. ANY "other" will mutate into asylum seeker (or enabler) and ALL stories will acquire a sexual slant. 5/7

This peaked with sexual exploitation gangs. It is linked to other dark currents: reproductive rights, women as property, gender identity, racial purity, parental paranoia - all regressive ideals, pushed by the far right, in any case. The combination of the two issues is frighteningly effective. 4/7

The power of this track reached its peak during the Southport riots, which targeted "asylum hotels". (Its flip-side, of course, is the building of a tribal "in group" through synthetic patriotism, flag-shagging, grievance, riots, etc.) The second element is sexual interference with "our" women. 3/7

The first is the conflation of anyone in the "out group" with asylum seekers - specifically, undocumented asylum seekers who entered irregularly. They are now the proxy for anyone brown/Muslim/foreign AND the sole defining cause of those who support equality, diversity, fairness, and compassion. 2/7

Big Money falls flat on its lardy Ass

The UK has only "paused" training Israeli soldiers in Britain "until the situation in Gaza and the West Bank has been satisfactorily addressed". Whitehall has already forgotten about the little matter of genocide and probably plans to resume training as normal. #DCUKparliament

The UK Must Urgently Distance Itself From Elon Musk and Space X, Warns Parliamentary Report. Musk has used thousands of replies and quote-tweets to massively boost the audiences of pro-Russian accounts on X. He is working with Putin to destroy democracy. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/04/t...

Reform shows its Colours

All the critics will come out and say “New York is unique, it can’t be replicated”. Yes it can. A strong progressive voice, creative campaigning, good organising and commitment can win anywhere. Let’s take that lesson and apply it.

Being more principled than Andrew Cuomo is the lowest possible bar. Please don’t mistake Curtis Sliwa for anything other than the world class dipshit that he is.

Social Democratic measures My goodness they've Woken Up👍😁❣️

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of new wealth, the poorest half has received only 1%. Rich buy political parties, media, means of production, cause corruption, climate crisis, make mockery of democracy. Poor die early. Must redistribute or risk social disorder.
