I like John Harris, he seems like a good, well-meaning guy. But his desire for a better radical politics is totally fraudulent, even if he doesn’t understand that it is. There is no form of meaningfully left wing politics that John cannot be effortlessly bullied into denouncing by his colleagues.

The experience of trans people in Britain is a glaring demonstration that taxonomical debates are never purely and simply that, but stop-gaps on a path to marginalisation and oppression. Anyone entertaining this stage will comply with what follows, so we might as well clarify what that is.

It feels to me that they've decided some conditions simply aren't real, and they don't want to include them in NHS care never mind the relatively low costs, never mind the benefits, never mind the reality just: I don't approve of this & I don't think we should be pandering to it Daily Mail brain

This is, of course, simply a rhetorical play act. Suppose that people do "condemn" all these people? Well, you didn't do it enough. Did you contextualise anything? Stop that. Be more unequivocal. Now hop on one leg. I found someone not condemning them - do you condemn them too?

There is no dialogue with the Sensible Moderates: they are *not listening to a word you say*, and they never have listened to anything you said. When you speak, they are only thinking about their next smart retort, and they only ever hear a noise like a cow mooing or Donald Duck throwing a tantrum.

If more people studied history, they'd know that the things present-day rightwing arseholes say about women are just the things the Nazis said about women, which are just the things that a bunch of 18th-century pricks said about women, as soon as modernity started to give them opportunities.

The thing about federal bureaucracy is that all the institutional knowledge that makes them work invisibly in such as making sure your milk doesn't contain formaldehyde, is stored inside people who would make twice as much money in another job.

Ther problem here is that the relationship *in practice* between any relatively endogamic population, a single ethnonym, state boundaries, claims of citizenship, and persistent mobility and exogamy at an individual level, is *complex*. And racists are *thick*.

Here's a handy guide. If the media are saying a politician is doing socialism, they're not doing socialism. If a politician is doing socialism, the media is telling you they're doing islamic terrorism, destroying western civilization, turning your kids gay and in league with china.

By the way if you jump into my mentions here to scream made-up numbers and xenophobia I'm just gonna block you. I'll probably block you if you try to defend 'concerns about immigration' in any way tbh, I'm not particularly interested in talking to racists and don't tolerate them in my threads.

'Concerns over immigration' are just racism. And 'nobody listens to racism' is also plainly incorrect because every newspaper and mainstream politician has been screamingly racist for years now.

It feels almost trite to point out how much British fascism is little more than playground bullying. The only pitch is "it's funny to hurt people" but it almost seems silly to point it out. Like surely they can't all just be the shittiest 11-year-old you know, but they are.

The thing about trying not to pick a side is that the nazis *instantly recognize* which side you picked. They immediately identify you as an ally. They know exactly what side you're on. It doesn't fool the victims, it doesn't fool the Nazis, the only people it could possibly fool is centrists.

Headline: "US Data Centers Set to Burn More Natural Gas Than Most Nations" above a photo of natural gas compressor towers, power lines and a crane at an industrial site, illustrating rising gas use tied to data centers.
