Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC... US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

The IEA got everything they wanted and believed in when Liz Truss came to power, and her government and their ideology didn't survive two months of contact with reality before being totally exposed and collapsing. Total frauds, but still screaming that they need to be the ones in charge.

The default position of the British gutter press is roughly around the level of Der Sturmer in 1938, and everyone has to politely tiptoe around this to avoid calling it what it is.

There are currently 8 political prisoners in the UK (on remand for alleged actions taken in solidarity with Palestine) on hunger strike. Most have been on strike for well over a month. Their health situation is critical. Here is a Toolkit actions you can take:

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich? They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel. At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found. Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

The takeaway IMO is aggro centrism is an astonishing historic disaster. Not only does it not work - it delivers very little for the public, doesnât address core problems of the era and disillusions the public with democracy itself - but it actively aids the far right and prepares the way for fascism

Yes, this is wingnuts and cranks all over: you can never appease them by walloping migrants or minorities or by kicking the poor. Every concession you give them, every group of people you sacrifice to please them, is just wasted. They donât respect you or feel grateful, they reset and demand more.

What's effectively happening here (in the British media at large, too) is the construction of "anti-racism" as somehow a "political alternative" to racism, rather than as a minimal civilisational standard, which in turn (further) vindicates racism as *also* an acceptable political position.

If successive Israeli governments always intended to impose their own final settlement on the Palestinians by violence, whether slowly or quickly, then what would we say successive British governments and media outlets have been doing for decades by insisting that the precise opposite was true?

Mainstream media have played a massive role over many years in scapegoating migrants & strengthening the misconception that immigration is a top domestic problem for the UK. Young people are less likely to believe this partly because they donât follow MSM.
