I feel so alien to real-world politics, honestly. I think it's because Star Trek gave me unrealistic expectations of the standards of behaviour to which people should hold themselves.

A lot of editors don't even know about media magnification. One of the shocking things - to me - when I left journalism school was how little editors knew about like the study of journalism as a discipline. It's a profession based in norms even if those norms are harmful.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Elections are 3+ years away, Greens are surging in the polls, and there are already elements of UK academia pre-emptively bending the knee to Reform, which is not even in power.
US unis that submitted still got screwed over. UK academia can choose to learn from that or get destroyed by fascism.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

This is correct: there is no screeching terror campaign coming here to annihilate Farage’s posh National Front. If it comes to a choice between beating back Reform or e.g. the Greens, then that is not going to be a choice at all for people who actually matter in British public life.

It’s a major theme in 1936’s “It Can’t Happen Here” —written after the author and his journalist wife traveled through Europe to study fascism first hand—with so many prophetic parallels to how we got to Trumpism, the book was revived after 9/11 but too many chose to call it “alarmism” here…

Just think, if Congress had any balls and tried to impeach Hegseth over Signalgate, we probably wouldn't be looking at the US military committing war crimes, nor be on the brink of GWOT 2.

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
