When Cowman talks about actions & consequences to skirt the fact one of his dog lackeys performed the action of unloading a clip into a person producing the consequence of that person being dead, he is expressing a fascist tenet that their violence can never be subjected to law; only create it.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

lads lads im hearing that troops and flags might be purely cynical symbolism exploited by people who don't care about anything except their own right wing politics
Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?
imagine being the father or mother or son or daughter or sibling of one of those brave British troops who died in Afghanistan, and having to listen to this crass ignorance

I'd been mulling over how the uk was probably going to end up as the usa's aircraft carrier in europe, and I guess some others see that future too

Larry Ellison, the tech billionaire and Trump supporter, has advocated for an AI-built surveillance state; "Citizens will be on their best behaviour, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on". Ellison is the Tony Blair Institute's biggest donor.

From the same paper. These people talk a big game about nationalism and patriotism, but they are actually a fascist international, a movement quite unconcerned with sovereignty as a principle, entirely concerned to promote viscous authoritarian imperialism.

One thing today has shown is that ordinary people who are politically active protesting their Govt, they are far braver than any of the career politicians running the Govt.

And frankly without such brave people, we would not even have the limited rights that we do have.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

i envision a utopian future for technology, where when you launch your computer there are no more programs, no more browsers, but just 4 buttons that say "Gamble", "Goon", "AI", and "Borrow Money At An Exorbitant Interest Rate"

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

To give a schematic overview of the past decade, the ZIRP era empowered Silicon Valley to build wealth and infrastructure equivalent to micro-states, which our neoliberal leaders, allergic as they are to the idea of state intervention, were all too happy to facilitate. (cont.)
