The people who gave Oswald Mosley's grandson a top job, after an "interview" in which they quoted his 1939 speech, at length, from memory. Not the grandson. The interviewer.

Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

This thread is right, I just want to add though, that a thing people need to understand about US culture, in order to understand this present crisis, is the deep levels of ultraviolence baked into it. It comes in so very many forms, not just guns and shootings, or glorification of martial prowess.
And I just think you have to understand that about these people, they're barely capable of formulating the question "why should I do this?" - the fact that other people don't want them to but they can and therefore they're demonstrating their power over them by so doing, that's it, that's enough.

This is basically the view of the world that Plato sets out to refute in the Republic. One of the core questions asked therein is: why do powerful people think the mere fact of them exercising dominion makes it good for them to do so? Sure, you *can* get away with stuff if you're powerful - so what?
Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

i agree with all of this, my concern is many centrist types don't view criticism from their left as legitimate
they get normal pushback on here, fall down crying, & go back to twitter to be yelled at by nazis (who are allowed to have opinions)

here's the last posting about posting thing I'll say: I want people to my right politically on here for the same reason that I want either the GOP to improve or some other sane Conservative Party to arise: these people will have power. I want them to not be insane. X is making them insane.

"It doesn't get cold because the temperature goes down", basically
Keir Starmer has this morning urged Cabinet to keep its nerve amid grim opinion polling (today’s YouGov put Labour in third place behind Reform & Tories)
“Governments do not lose because polls go down. They lose when they lose belief or nerve. We will do neither,” he said

That's all it boils down to with these fascists, isn't it? Fatalistic nonsense about human nature and dog-eat-dog to justify all their hate. This is why evolutionary psychology is such a gateway

I know about three people who went on Twitter as much as I used to. Millennial normies are on Instagram
If there is an argument then this is the argument. But lol I can’t find where this obviously false stat is coming from. And if the government does believe more than half the families in the UK are using it as their primary news source then woah maybe time to up the scrutiny of it!

Amazing wrongness here.
1. If you're arresting 00s of peaceful pro-Gazan protestors, you don't believe in free speech.
2. Even if you do believe in it, it doesn't extend to child porn.
3. You can't debate with fascists.
4. You can put a counter-narrative (if you have one) onto civilized platforms.

Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

I appreciate ten years is a long time, but still, I'm old enough to remember when it was idiocy to talk about enthusing non-voters, particularly if a certain someone talked about it

Just putting this out there again given previous and recent developments, e.g. Glasman's links to Bannon, Mandelson's links to Epstein, Embery's promotion of David Betz, Luke Akehurst retweeting Fraser Nelson, links with Sam Bowman et al, & general chumminess with the Spectator-UnHerd-Quillette crew
Given this, and everything we know about Blue Labour, and people like Steven Pinker going to race science conferences, is it really that much of a stretch to think that certain policies and rhetoric of this government are driven by eugenicist beliefs?
The same Sam Bowman and Ben Southwood mentioned in HOPE not hate's race science investigation I assume

Bringing back memories of the last CLP meeting I went to, where some Labour to Win knob head was talking about the priority to watch the Reform threat from the right, even though their own numbers on screen showed more voters being lost to the Greens

Incredible thing to say when he's not only just completely torn up the whole concept of international law but also fucked over his biggest cheerleader in the country he just invaded.
Keir Starmer: "I constantly remind myself that 24/7 our defence, our security & our intelligent relationship with the US matters probably more than any other relationship we've got in the world and it would not be in our national interest to weaken that in any way"
