When the topic of redistribution is treated as seriously as right-wing extremism, the political centre reveals what it considers most threatening: not the erosion of equal rights, but the redistribution of power and property.

Why does a statement at a Die Linke event become evidence against the whole party, while statements by Israeli ministers are so often treated as individual views?

Vor 11 Jahren sah so die "Flüchtlingskrise" aus. Menschen, die Hilfe suchten & sie bekamen. Es war schön. Die Jahre danach waren die mit der niedrigsten Kriminalität ever, die allermeisten gingen zur Schule, in die Arbeit, manche wurden Deutsche. Lasst euch nicht einreden, es sei ein Fehler gewesen.

"If those studies are right, wouldn't we be seeing an effect right the way across society?" Wow, the denial runs deep. I'm gobsmacked too. Like, they literally just listed all the symptoms people have—and then asked where is the proof? You can’t make this stuff up.🤦‍♂️ Source: x.com/1goodtern/st...

A screenshot of a text post by Tern (@1goodtern) dated August 21, 2026. The author recounts a conversation with two colleagues about societal changes.
Narrative Summary
• The Observation: The colleagues note that people are angrier, slower to understand, have more emotional problems, and less impulse control "since the pandemic."
• The Argument: The author points out that these are documented effects of COVID-19 infections on cognitive function and mental health.
• The Contradiction: A colleague asks, "If those studies are right, wouldn't we be seeing an effect right the way across society?" despite having just described exactly that.
• The Evidence: The author cites rising sickness absences (kids, NHS staff, civil servants), increased disability approvals, higher expected mortality in lower-vaccinated age groups, and secondary infections.
• Conclusion: The colleagues reluctantly agree COVID-19 makes things worse but remain unwilling to change their lifestyle habits.

I think the 90s, though ludicrously romanticised especially in Britain, did have an enormous sense of possibility and liberation that I felt at the time and that my kids envy now. Nostalgia is a blend of myth and truth

"Cognitive surrender" is a fascinating concept to think about the impact of AI as it exists under reactionary tech Preventing people from thinking for themselves and imagining different worlds is a godsend for authoritarians thenextweb.com/news/wharton...

thenextweb.com

Wharton researchers coined 'cognitive surrender' to describe what happens when people let AI think for them

A Wharton study found people accepted wrong AI answers 80% of the time, as apps like Moot now let five AI personas vote on your life decisions.

This is fucking terrifying

Separate research supports the concern. Anat Perry, a Helen Putnam Fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute and associate professor of psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, co-authored a paper in Science examining how sycophantic AI responses erode users’ ability to calibrate their own judgment. The paper found that when AI systems consistently affirm a user’s position, the user’s capacity for independent evaluation degrades over time.

Joanna Stern, NBC’s chief technology analyst and author of “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” has documented the creep of AI dependency in daily life. Her reporting has shown how users begin with low-stakes queries, such as what to cook for dinner or what to wear, and gradually escalate to consequential decisions about careers, finances, and relationships. The trajectory from convenience to reliance is difficult to reverse once established.

Private equity funds control more than $9.4 trillion in assets, including 11,500 companies that employ more than 11 million American workers. It is one of the most ruthlessly extractive, corrosive forces in modern history, so why does hating it feel like such a niche grievance?

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.
