I followed the chain back and I don't think the claim is really consensus belief on here, I just think the relevant nexus of beliefs highly correlates with "likely to get in a fight with Will Stancil" and that is distorting his perception somewhat.
This is literally the consensus belief on this website. And because everyone knows it’s the consensus belief, big tastemaker accounts completely refuse to challenge it, because their game is to say things that they know the majority of their audience will agree with. So the falsehood spreads.
defining the economy is capitalist propaganda, as is measuring it with graphs. also, the economy is bad and used to be better and everyone knows it.

It's almost like maybe the ones who've been driving the fascism all along were the chattering class "centrist" elite who resented their loss of control over bourgeois propriety to the damn millennial filthy proles on Twitter, and the crass egoist kleinburger bosses who resent being judged by anyone

I’ve got my I didn’t leave the left, it left me article locked down and ready to go. Just waiting for an offer.
Monkey’s paw stuff here, when we consider how many mediocre people there are who would like to make millions and hang out with rich, powerful people.
Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Deeply depressing that between them Corbyn and Sultana and their teams have managed to completely destroy the new left party before it’s even been named.

Just found out Sean Connery died 5 years ago…
The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.
