What does it tell us about the value of “public debate” when the political party that clearly understands what is happening in reality is admonished for not towing the line in pursuing a fantasy that every ‘side’ has said is just not possible and never will be

It's cool that we're going to run the 'zionism isn't racism and is actually normal' playbook again, while ignoring liberal Israeli politicians who are regularly going on podcasts calling for the permanent expulsion of all Palestinians and that killing children was actually fine, if not good

I’ve said this before, but it’s sort of insane that no British political party is willing to champion Games Workshop, one of the country’s most successful, British born and run companies, and would much rather simp for Palantir or OpenAI

kind of funny to me that the right are so insistent on forcing this into the discourse. Because, ok, say that you're right. Now what? And, clearly, if you don't think race should determine your future in the UK, you also don't believe that "being English" means anything significant

The Internet, Social Media and AI are facilitating the churning out of obscene atrocity denial propaganda to deterritorialised global audiences in a way that feels unlike any prior epoch, and I feels like nobody in power is even willing to confront that because they expect to exploit it themselves.

The FT piece by @willoyd.bsky.social has some good insights, the main one being that Britain since Thatcher has become such an ideal student of late capitalism that it threw overboard all notions of self-sufficiency and backups because our leaders all believed next-day delivery would never end. Oops
From the FT longread: 

	There is no going back to the past without incurring enormous costs. “The central economic problem of resilience,” said Lang, “is that it asks capitalism to do what it doesn’t want to do at the moment.”

Stockpiles in a fatty civil defence system built to confront the Soviets — what an engineer would call “redundancies” — were stripped away and sold off, argues Thornton. “It’s now hard to go back to spend the money to recreate the kind of agencies and facilities and resources that we had in the cold war.”

Haven’t really been paying much attention to politics recently, but I just watched a video from Restore Britain’s Holborn and St Pancras candidate, where he goes around Camden Market accusing stall holders of being illegal immigrants, and the points to a guy pissing and says “he’ll be deported”

They said a British FOX News could never work but sadly, it works just fine if they take e.g. the print media’s fifteen-year hate campaign of creating panics about ethnic minorities and migrants as an orc horde of rapey sex offenders, and turn it up to eleven.

Screenshot of an article on The FP website. The headline reads, "I Thought I Was Autistic. I Was Wrong." The subheadline says, "After spending most of my life feeling different and alone, an autism diagnosis gave me the kind of relief that was impossible to resist. But it was based on a lie."

Genuinely such a fascinating mini-doc. This journalist tried to figure out who is making the most popular anti-refugee/migrant content that is being used to fuel right-wing movements. And it turns out it's mostly Indians, and some of them are, in fact, migrants : www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCvP...
