BREAKING: A new poll has found 74% of voters - rising to 85% in the red wall - would rather have a wank than pay more tax. Just 5% of voters would rather pay more tax than have a wank, all of whom are on Bluesky. President Lord Glasman told The Times this shows the woke left wants to tax wanking.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Not even joking when I say the educated urban bourgeoise need to develop class consciousness. So much horrid shit throughout the developed world comes from them internalizing that they are illegitimate in a way the “noble” and “authentic” peasants and proles are not.
the Labour government is too cowardly to take steps to crush this and is instead trying to ride it in the belief that it can somehow mollify the stupidest and meanest losers in the country.

I think an underrated problem in most countries is that lockdowns drove around a quarter of the country crazy, this quarter is pretty well-distributed across the population, and it makes going 'look, these guys are NUTS' much harder a political attack than it used to be.
Reform has, for various reasons, a core base of cranks. So far, they have managed to keep them and more ordinary voters within the tent. Breaking them requires forcing a split between these groups.

🧵 I’ve talked a lot about disordered discourse, conspiracies, polarisation, denialism. But maybe the better question is: why does this keep happening? Why does our shared reality keep fracturing? What are the drivers I talk about as a dimension of disordered discourse?
I've just come back from the Cambridge Disinformation Summit where I gave the opening keynote, titled "Demanufacturing Consent - How Disordered Discourse is Destroying Democracy", featuring everything from Fake Hooves to Jackson Hinkle being the worst.

Christ, better not tell the stormers of the Bastille.
the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.
