Daniel Bessner sent me an advanced copy of his forthcoming "Imperialist Realism: Politics and Culture at the End of the American Century". Applying his ideas to the new Superman movie in a sort-of double review led to some really interesting results:

2023: Starmer says scrapping the two child benefit cap would spark a "markets spiral". 2024: says not cutting winter fuel payments would've caused a "run on the pound". Now says that ousting him would "trigger a market shock". The prime minister who cried wolf.

A fitting punishment for Starmer would be for Trump to beckon, then humiliatingly dismiss him like this. Over and over and over again: until he died of the same kind of thirst he once wished on Palestinians. Like if Sisyphus was a sad bootlicking dog.

Itâs past time to treat the "Two-State Solution" pushed by our representatives like we do climate denial. They have no plan to remove the 750k armed West Bank settlers who have the full backing of the Israeli state. Theyâre just stalling for time while Palestinians die.
