you have to read the epstein files with the knowledge that this is not the only bubble of powerful men talking about how they abuse women and then in the next wmail whining about how they get unfairly accused of abusing women, it’s just the one that we can publicly read.

like, yes, there are several people in the epstein files talking and how sexual violence on college campuses is taken too seriously, but these people are not an aberration, they are part of the sratus quo, most people in power think exactly like this.

and yes of course it’s not just about college campuses, these people have put all their power into ensuring that a movement like metoo can’t happen again because to them accountability for their violence feels unfair. they feel entitled to the power they have over others.

Interesting that both reactionary centrists and some of the more doctrinaire socialists have found themselves in the same place on the so-called (and entirely misnamed) "culture war". Facile economism really is an impediment to serious analytical and political thinking.

Is it not pretty odd that they ever had a leadership class that openly hated the party and most of the people in it? Is it not doubly odd that nobody said this was a problem at the time, and that they either remained silent or cheered wildly for it.

He doesn't have all the means to bring it about, but so far this speech is the most
comprehensive case for social and economic democracy we've heard from a Labour PM in the last 40 years. It's significant because Burnham is the first Labour PM to entirely and avowedly say he wants to break with the Thatcher settlement.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

At least we didn't all lose our minds and inflict ten years of the Tories on ourselves in order to eventually try and sneak a watered down version of the 2019 Labour manifesto back in and hope nobody notices and asks awkward questions.

So we conclude that the risks of rent controls are real, but manageable. And they pale against the risks of continued inaction – entrenched poverty, spiralling public spending and millions of people locked out of housing security.

It's true that the rent controls that were in place for most of the 20th century were crude. But they protected tenants from exploitation. And their removal led to the most dramatic deterioration in rental affordability on record.

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

Opponents of rent controls typically argue that rent controls would lead to landlords selling up. Of course that presents risks. But it also presents a historic opportunity. Because when a landlord sells, the home does not vanish – only the owner changes!

We can conclude here that either 1) these lads have been assured none of this is going to happen, or 2) somewhere in Labour HQ there is a drawer full of evidence against them that’s so utterly damning, all of these guys will squeak “Oh yes I love nationalising things” like their nuts are in a vice.

Much of the electorate has no memory at all of the politics of that era. They do have sharp memories of what we have had recently. And many conclude anything might be better.

I'm a big believer in judging politicians,—and people generally but especially politicians—on what they do rather than what they say. Burnham said a lot of potentially encouraging stuff. What he's *done* recently is hid from the press while a fascist militia blockaded a port and attacked the RNLI.

I'd love to believe all the people insisting that Burnham is turning a new page and we'll finally see it turn. Heaven knows we need it. But he's just spent the last week cowering from the press while Danny Tommo attacks lifeboats, and insisting that racists just have genuine concerns. So, you know.

She also concluded that the US was not altogether that concerned with civilian casualties as a result of Israeli bombardment as they were with humanitarian assistance, which is saying something since the US did not enforce its own arms transfer laws on humanitarian assistance anyway.
