'The idea that all bias is some deviation from an unbiased center is itself a bias that prevents pundits, journalists, politicians and plenty of others from recognizing some of the most ugly and impactful prejudices and assumptions of our times.' Rebecca Solnit #ExtremeCentrism #StatusQuoism
The idea that all bias is some deviation from an unbiased center is itself a bias that prevents pundits, journalists, politicians and plenty of others from recognizing some of the most ugly and impactful prejudices and assumptions of our times. I think of this bias, which insists the center is not biased, not afflicted with agendas, prejudices and destructive misperceptions, as status-quo bias. Underlying it is the belief that things are pretty OK now, that the people in charge should be trusted because power confers legitimacy, that those who want sweeping change are too loud or demanding or unreasonable, and that we should just all get along without looking at the skeletons in the closet and the stuff swept under the rug. It’s mostly a prejudice of people for whom the system is working, against those for whom it’s not. - Rebecca Solnit

This is why David Graeber called the political Centre “extreme”. These guys want to attack the LEFT when the fascists are quite literally at the door now. A monstrous refusal to contend with reality. #FabienSociety #Labour #extremecentrism
A letter from Labour MP, Richard Burgon, to the Guardian.

“The Fabian Society's Joe Dromey could not be more wrong in arguing that the Labour leadership should attack the Greens and Reform UK as representing
"twin populisms" (Zack Polanski offering voters fantasy solutions, says head of Fabian Society, 31 December). Dromey dismisses the Green party's support for a wealth tax as a "fantasy" policy. Yet this is a policy that eight in 10 Labour voters support. I have been campaigning for wealth taxes for years, and large numbers of Labour MPs now back such a measure.
Dromey argues that a wealth tax could not fund all the investment we need in our communities. But that is not an argument against it, but to make it part of a wider package of reforms to tackle the deep inequality that scars our society. A wealth tax of 2% on assets over £10m could raise £24bn a year. Equalising capital gains tax rates with income tax and imposing a windfall tax on the super-profits of the banks could take that total closer to £50bn.
This would not only provide vital resources to support people still hit hard by the cost of living crisis and to fund our public services. It would also send a clear signal that a Labour government is prepared to act against our broken economic model.
While a tiny elite get ever richer, the living standards of the vast majority have stagnated since the bankers crashed the economy over 15 years ago. With growth weak and unlikely to improve without structural change, Labour must grasp the nettle of redistribution.
Dromey's approach is also a political dead end. Labour is losing more voters to the Greens, and to those saying they will not vote, than it is to Reform. Losing those voters risks opening the door to Reform victories. Calling on the Labour leadership to reject popular social democratic policies is not only a moral mistake but an electoral one.

“Democrats brutally mocked for holding lame candlelight vigil on January 6 anniversary” [See Youtube video.] We have no leaders. We have to work out how to save ourselves. #Venezuela #Trump #Democrats #Jan6thvigil #neveragain
An image that contains the following text: A candlelight vigil, eh? For not taking the necessary action over the Jan 6th insurrection when you had the power to do so?... There’s that phrase "Never forget" again... “Let's endlessly memorialise the past horrors we didn't stop at the time in order to provide cover for us not stopping them again as they recur in the present." Remembering as a form of forgetting.

This kind of thing is exactly the kind of empty, disabling performance that got us here. In an emergency these folks are performing thoughts and prayers, broadcasting an *image* of action that is designed to substitute any actual action, and thereby downregulate people's internal distress signals, whilst *nothing* about the urgency of the situation is actually changed. To call such behaviour merely pitiful or embarrassing is to downplay how damaging it is.
They’re anaesthetising us - and themselves as well - in a situations when being activated, and getting active, is the appropriate response. It's what they've been doing all along, but it becomes more obvious as the crisis deepens.None of these poor fools is a leader. They are really not smarter or more skilled than we are, no matter how many Ivy League degrees they have between them. At some point we're going to have to start working out how we save ourselves.
