hell, it's basically how the Imperial Japanese justified their attacks on China! the underlying sentiment behind the CPS was one that feigned de-colonialism and modernization

I keep seeing people asking why the police aren't arresting ICE or protecting people from ICE and I desperately need you to understand that the police aren't protecting you from ICE because protecting YOU is not and never has been their function and that's why we need to defund them.

Reminder: If the Police consistently fail to protect us, that is because protecting us is not their primary function. The Purpose of a Thing is What It Does.

Really fun to be a public feminist in an era when everyone on the left is convinced that gender is a superficial divide that’s only considered unjust by privileged and narcissistic white women, while meanwhile gender anxiety and grievance is used to dismantle American democracy and the world order.

I can hate on Will with the best of them (and have), but dude is out there putting his literal life on the line. Serious respect.
Will focusing his endless font of energy when it comes to being annoying towards ICE totally rules and I tip my cap. Someone buy that man a tank of gas

i am unashamed in saying that taiwan is one of the best places to live on the planet and the PRC, if you enjoy things like free speech, does not crack the top hundred

if this is a terrible argument for why the PRC isn't responsible for maoism then ok. the current PRC still sucks and taiwan like very much does not though so

considering they literally replaced that regime wholesale, yes, obviously?
Taiwan? The island where they murdered a bunch of the original inhabitants then murdered political dissenters as impediments to fascist rule over the mainland? Oh, they got better and should be seen for their contemporary situation you say?

the hilarious thing about Taiwan discourse is that modern campists want to argue that the crimes of the KMT outweigh the struggle of the DPP for democracy

you never, ever see anybody on a average wage or lower explain what they think they will be given by Farage. they will tell you what will be taken away from somebody else. you can't expect normal rules to apply because appealing to the worst in people circumvents them.

my prediction as to what will happen as Reform's contradictions pile up - low tax but raising council tax, anti-establishment but taking in Tories, law and order but full of criminals - is absolutely nothing. the offer is permission to treat people badly, and it's a popular one.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

In journalism, I want to see an overthrow of old media and a flowering of something new. I don't agree with people who want to prop up legacy outlets out of fear that journalism itself will die without them.

Journalism is already dead if the likes of WaPo, NYT, NPR, or CBS are our only hope.

But too many good people are going to have to sacrifice too much, and all because the leaders in politics, business, academia, and journalism let things go this far.

I hope theres a reckoning for at least some of those people, because they put us here every bit as much as Trump.

Americans have roundly rejected this, and more and more the more they've seen. They're putting their bodies on the line to defend the principles of freedom, equality, democracy, and human rights.

I believe we will win. It's too big a country for such small, stupid men to take it by force.

Everything we're seeing, and much worse, was baked in once they made that traitorous and foolhardy choice.

Some, particularly in the tech sector, actively cheered for replacing American democracy with an autocratic nightmare, but most denied the obvious and/or pretended it wasn't their concern.

Like many I'm feeling downcast in the aftermath of Renee Nicole Good's death.

For me, the frustration comes from knowing a handful of elites turned their backs on their responsibility to uphold the idea of US as a pluralistic, multiethnic democracy during and immediately after the 2024 election.
