Somewhat off topic but playing mixed sex roller derby (an intensely physical contact sport roughly like playing rugby on skates) has really underlined for me how much our social perception of men as being a different category of strength to women is an ideological construct reinforced by separation.

Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

Soccer stadium, large fabric flag of Mae Borowski from Night In The Woods, holding an axe and wearing team colors. There is text in the Night In The Woods title font on the right and left. It reads "From Stonewall a brick and Portland an Axe, Respect our pride or expect our wrath." It's cool

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

This is also historically why conservatives were opposed to any legislation that might allow gay people to be out in public. Marginalised people are easier to groom & exploit

What's worse is they don't seem to grasp that a world outside of the US even exists, much less the outsize impact the US has. The people the US kills and helps kill can be safely ignored so long as these permanent children can tune it out.

If you study the successful rebellions and resistance and civil rights movements of the past, you will note that “people who spend their time publicly bumming out everyone around them by emphasizing how totally fucked everything is” do not play a central role, or indeed, any role at all

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

These people have to account for the deep hatred and revulsion they feel when watching others act out of sincerity, courage and compassion. It threatens and bewilders them, so they must explain it away as something they recognise and understand: moral vapidity and self-absorption

Jonathan Sacerdoti: Greta Thunberg should thank Israel for intercepting her Gaza selfie ship

Brendan O'Neill: Greta Thunberg’s narcissism has escalated to terrifying levels
This is a self-serving stunt masquerading as a daring act of charity

Julie Burchill:
Greta Thunberg’s pathetic Gaza voyage

Suzanne Moore: Left-wing activists like Greta Thunberg care more about fame than facts
Her vacuous Gaza ‘mission’ is typical of the way selfie-obsessed protesters flit from one cause to another without studying the detail

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2:

“I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”

Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2:

“I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep
"complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”

The entire western political apparatus has been captured by neoliberalism’s true believers; people who earnestly valorise the imperatives of the capitalist free market over human flourishing. And they know what those imperatives demand, but are too cowardly to do it themselves. They *want* an out.

We've reached the phase of Fascist Transatlanticism where the UK right have identified last year's riots and pogroms as their own potential January 6th moment. And, never to be outdone on being outdone, Starmer has seen fit to fan the flames and say they were actually, spiritually, correct.

Very clearly brass and politicians knew about much of this stuff as it was happening, and it probably isn’t a coincidence that a war crimes impunity bill was stampeded through, the very instant the opposition was again led by people who would quietly collaborate.

I’ve said repeatedly that Brexit’s ultimate objective was a leveraged buyout of the British state on behalf of international capital. A decade later we’re selling the copper wiring, US healthcare corps are licking their lips over the NHS, and the dumbest people in the country are parroting Q-speak.
