Frankly I don't see how anyone who calls themselves a Christian can also call themselves a nationalist. The "catholic" nature of the church, from the greek "katholikos", that occurs in the earliest of Christian creeds, means "universal" and is a statement that Christianity KNOWS NO BORDERS.

Btw if you read this and immediately thought “well not all men”… pause for a second. The men I trust are the ones who read what I just wrote and choose to listen, to empathize, to ask questions to better understand. They know they are not the men I am angry about and they don’t need say so.

A sense of unity that you can only achieve by excluding those who disagree with you is not love, it is hate, it is not "peace", it is APARTHEID.

Of all the blueprints I have read on how to redress the long-term damage austerity and financialisation have inflicted upon Britain's society, this one is the most impressive - and hope inspiring. A must read.

They took memory cards and sold us cloud storage. They took CDs and DVDs and sold us streaming. They took software you bought once and turned it into a monthly subscription. Corporate America figured out the real money wasn’t in selling you something. It was making sure you NEVER actually own it.

No, no, no, we cannot allow this narrative to take hold. These kids were not killed by AI. They were killed by the American military (including its homeland division ICE). Future American administrations must hold those people to account and not allow any "it was the AI what done it" excuses!

Yes, they were "wrongly targeted". The important question that every MP *should* be asking but isn't is this: *why* were they wrongly targeted? Was it, by chance, the colour of their skin?

Absolutely, rather than pandering to their stupidity make an example of it; say "ok then" and bring in the army to build a fence around their parish. Don't let anything other than medicine, water and basic food in or out until they reach a trade agreement.

I'm just going to keep yelling this louder and louder until it clicks: weird overpaid AI nerds hand-wringing about human extinction are trying to distract you from the extremely deadly and serious harms they are causing yesterday, today and tomorrow www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
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.News excerpt reporting that U.S. data centers’ natural gas use is expected to grow by 15 billion cubic feet per day by 2035—amounting to more gas than every country except China, Russia, Iran and the U.S., citing the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Why is everyone suddenly talking about AI killing us all? The answer: when the AI bubble bursts, which it will, and ordinary people's pensions and savings drop through the floor, the Tech CEOs who caused and profited from the bubble want you to blame the tech, or the regulation of it, not them.

If a child uses a magnifying glass to burn an insect we don't let them blame the magnifying glass, we talk to the child and confiscate the glass. The same principle should be at work here; don't let them blame the AI, confiscate it!

Remember the 3,000 people murdered by al-Qaeda terrorists 25 years ago. Remember the up to 4.6 million people - according to Brown University estimates - killed by US-led forces in the post-9/11 wars. A hideous crime, followed by the crime of the century.

They never tell us *which* biological definition of gender they are going to make law. I'm not saying I'd support forcing that definition on people if they did, but I'd at least be able to acknowledge some sort of logic in their position.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

I find it very strange that if a drone is hit by a sledgehammer that drone can, according to the law, feel "terror", yet if a child watches their planet burning around them due to the actions of the fossil fuel industry that child is apparently not allowed to feel terrified.

The question I would always ask people making that claim is this: The countless socialists and blacks and disabled people and homosexuals and trans people, and most famously the 6 million Jews, who were sent to prison and death camps by the Nazis; what exactly is it you are claiming they did wrong?
