The geniuses who destroyed global hegemonic soft power because they thought it was “suicidal empathy” are now attempting to eliminate the janitors of late capitalism, aka social workers, who they perceive as bleeding heart liberals

The lesson to take from this is that the Allied action was not the consequence of consistent moral horror or determined ethical stance. And, precisely, that for much of the British ruling class the fear of losing colonies mattered much more than the fate of Jews at the time.

Heya folks. We're on a final push to get to £10k. We're on just over £8.3k. That's less than 1/10th of what fascist Danny Tommo has recently received inndonations after slashing a dinghy with an RNLI worker on it at sea. Meanwhile our comrade faces more than 12x the jailtime for opposing fascism.

Is a subscription Left audiobook company that works alongside Left publishers unfeasible? I'd love one where you could get however many credits a month but have the choice from things specifically from Left publishers. There are so many niche books I just never get around to reading

Yes, that’s right, the guy who resigned as Keir Starmer’s strategist because he was bullying and sexually harassing a Black female MP also thinks asylum seekers are living high on the hog and that people with disabilities are faking it! This is what a centre-left social democrat sounds like!

Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

The leader of the Tories made a Neo-Nazi criminal an anti-racism and anti-extremism adviser, because she’s so disastrously online she couldn’t see an issue with him having harassed an MP so horrendously that he was sent to prison for it. All the lads hemmed and hawed a bit, until it went away.

may get shouted out for this, but it's a real observation: Polanski has a pattern of behaviour of making trouble for himself by telling fibs when he absolutely doesn't need to do so. He lies reflexively and then creates several more news cycles as a result. 1/3

We—all of us—must act to protect RNLI volunteers and all people in peril at sea from these fascists; the state has refused to protect the helpless and heroes, so we must follow our moral duty and protect and defend them from this monstrous violence

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

🚨BREAKING🚨 In more serious news, I have been told on good authority by a third source that Flemish media has revealed the racist academic, de Vries, is the real author behind the pseudonymous article, 'Refugees’ IQs are Normatively Consequential' Thank you to all the sources that contacted me

Refugees’ IQs are Normatively Consequential
Tavren Oshal (pseudonym)
How to Cite: Oshal, T. Refugees’ IQs are Normatively Consequential. Controversial Ideas 2025, 5(3), 6; doi:10.63466/jci05030006.
Received: 18 December 2024 / Accepted: 23 September 2025 / Published: 11 November 2025
Abstract: Responding to an article by Rindermann et al. (2024), which reports that refugees in Germany, on average, have significantly lower intelligence than the German host population, Bradley Hillier-Smith has argued that such cognitive disparities – if they exist – are irrelevant to states’ moral duties toward refugees. This article challenges his position. It further contends that even if we adopt a cosmopolitan perspective that denies states the right to prioritize the interests of their own populations, it is not clear that states in the Global North are morally required – or even permitted – to admit large numbers of relatively low-IQ refugees from the Global South. This, I show, is especially true given that assistance could instead take the form of supporting their relocation to a safe country within the region.
