A central pillar of the liberal worldview is that any deviation from the current order established by our oppressive status quo, regardless of ideological underpinnings is problematic. Passionately want All People to have rights? Basically the same as passionately wanting No People to have rights.

Oh wow In May, I reported Alberta separatists were using an app developed by GOP operatives with ties to US ambassador Pete Hoekstra @theglobeandmail.com now reports the same operatives flew to Calgary on a private jet for a secret meeting with separatist leaders: pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa...
The pitch began with a prayer.
On an afternoon in late January, Mitch Sylvestre, the leader of Alberta's most prominent separatist organization, gathered with three of his lieutenants in a boardroom not far from the executive hangars at the Calgary International Airport, where private jets shuttle in and out of the city away from prying eyes.
It was a few hours before thousands of Albertans would gather near the city centre at a rally to launch the separatist campaign. But this meeting, convened behind closed doors a half-hour drive away, was invite only.
The Alberta Prosperity Project chose the location to accommodate its guests, Republican political strategists from Michigan who helped Donald Trump win the state in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The American delegation travelled to Calgary to sell them on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote - and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.
"They were young Christians. Capable, intelligent people," Mr. Sylvestre said. "We prayed before we started the meeting.""There is no secrecy'
One of the key figures behind the Michigan software company has expressed strong views on Alberta.
On July 1, Mr. Born wrote on social media: "On this Canada Day, I hope this is the last year Alberta is part of Canada." He has also called for U.S. annexation of the province.
A hunter, outdoorsman and commercial real estate agent in Grand Rapids, Mr. Born is the stepson of J.C. Huizenga, a wealthy Republican donor and founder of National Heritage Academies, a network of conservative charter schools in the U.S.
Mr. Wierda is the nephew of Erik Prince, who founded and ran the private military contractor Blackwater before it was sold to investors in 2010, and Betsy DeVos, the education secretary during Mr. Trump's first term.

I have been seeing braindead takes like "antisemitism isn't systemic" but the way that the Trump admin is bestowing and revoking conditional whiteness onto Jews suggests that antisemitism is very much systemic, and closely connected to other forms of systemic oppression, especially islamophobia.

In order to meet the political challenges laid out by the reality of the 21st century, the Labour party would have to be the kind of institution that the people currently running the labour party absolutely despise, to their core, and would rather burn the whole thing down than accept.

Add onto this the fact that getting ahead within the labour party requires many skills such as "being a bastard" or "being a sycophant" or "knowing how to make it look like you're not taking a bribe" and you have an institution that basically doesn't know what it's for or how to do it any more.

Perhaps a terrifying Iranian assault against Britain is underway? I have no idea and it’s basically unknowable, if you aren’t in the loop. But I do know the US and Iran will stay extremely hostile for a long time, and that Britain needs reasons to keep saying Yes to America.

It's been building up since 2017. They realised they'd have to break all the guardrails to keep things going as they should, I don't think any of them had quite realised just how unpopular austerity was until that point, and it was obviously non negotiable so the bigotry had to get even more naked.
