“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Interesting as well that this type of 'AI' chat requires multiple interactions, each one using energy, so the next time anyone says that individual 'AI' queries are negligible in energy terms , remember that AI generates seems to be set up to generate multiple interactions.

because a multi millionaire, evangelic Christian is bankrolling divisive mis information media channels that only promote right wing talking points

Money creates power, influence and propagandises political discourse

see Royal Mail for the gradual loss of lucrative parcel work, as well this is another way the economy, as a whole, has become less productive!!

Privatised profit, socialised loss....and when Capitalist propaganda think tanks get hold of it they then point out how government run things never make money!

Kennedy is probably right, modern living is f##'g us up, but maybe society should be looking systematically for reasons, not with preconceived ideas

But I suspect he and other conspiracists won't pay attention to the more prosaic and obvious culprits

Punchtuation as way of defining the use of words to provoke and justify hate and violence without caring about their meaning.

The incoherence is irrelevant to the emotional purpose
PUNCHTUATION
The use of words as insults to provoke or justify hate or violence without any concern for the meaning or definition of those words
Example: "They're a group of Marxist, woke, Antifa socialists'

Mmmm, not so sure about that. Many of the problems of today are caused by her policies. Most people tend to double down on what caused them to be 'right' at the time rather than admit they were wrong

New Civil Engineer...not really known for as reactionary, laying out some basic fact.
Worth a read for those advocating for Nuclear

"All SMR designs are a long way away & would be more expensive than large reactors per kWh...
SMRs will produce more chemically & physically reactive waste than large reactors...
Renewables are 10 x more efficient than new nuclear at CO2 mitigation & build times for new nuclear are massively longer"

I think this is hugely important. I have done a lot of research on religion and politics for my book (about 🇬🇧) and I cannot overstate the difference between the pundits and politicians who talk aggressively
about "cultural Christianity“ and the people you meet when you actually go to church.

"People who attend church or identify with a Christian tradition are not systematically more (or less) nativist, authoritarian or populist than their secular counterparts. Conversely, people who hold nativist and authoritarian views are often also Islamophobes, and vice versa." 👏 @kai-arzheimer.com
Islamophobia in Western Europe is not driven by religiosity
Are Christians more likely to be Islamophobic than other citizens in Europe? New research finds European Islamophobia has no link to a person’s religiosity.

A placard in support of an organisation that, as far as it is possible to tell, have not carried out terrorist attacks, called for peaceful demos, illuminated support the British Gov gives to an organisation, that at the very least, is/has carrying out collective punishment, gets you jailed!

Might help, though that is about individual taxation policy.

I was primarily thinking of ways to make company policy more favourable for those that set up in a more cooperative style.

All political parties talk about community, make policy more about community and cooperation than the individual
