amazing quote, it’s basically a dril quote. “zero difference between good and bad things”
The main thrust of the story is that they spoke to some former Tory MPs who seemingly don't like the fact that Good Law Project uses crowdfunding to sustain our work.
One calls this "reverse lawfare", suggesting there is something wrong with ordinary people banding together to fight injustice.

1999 WTO is the single worst historical event to argue the anarchists were outside agitators creating chaos for a genuine and good movement. Like, they will try to argue it about every social movement but the anarchist role as mediators and movement-connectors in 99 was just so thoroughly documented

I've seen this elsewhere as "fascism's not REALLY popular, it's just been normalised by the feckless liberal elites, so that it, er, became popular"
The goal is to "amnesty normies", because you want to flatter the normies that nothing is their fault and there are no costs for switching sides

I have no idea how someone could live through the last 10 years of American history and convince themselves of this.

It's funny how lib & con politics become a whole packaged deal. Like I can complain about lib policies like paper straws or high sales taxes and still believe it's of unparalleled importance to crush the nazis, but some people (among both libs & cons) have a surprisingly hard time fathoming this.

Generalizing the actions of one negatively racialized person onto an entire grouping of people is a defining characteristic of racism and nationalism.
Likewise, the dastardly deeds of positively racialized people remain individualized.

I haven't even checked to see if Reason did it's annual rerun of that fucking bullshit "Socialism almost killed the Pilgrims" column by Stossel, but I'm sure they have. So here: c4ss.org/content/22792
No, Stossel. The Pilgrims Were Starved by a Corporation, Not by Communism.
Each year at this time somebody in the right-libertarian world, reenacting an obligatory Thanksgiving ritual, drags out the old chestnut about the Pilgrims at Plymouth almost starving from “communism”...

Not like I expect radical/anarchist politics out of Dr Who or anything. And he's clearly a good writer. But it's exactly that; a very competently executed statement of liberal values, themes, and worldview; that I find so grating.
I've always found Pete McTighe's politics in his Doctor Who eps to be insufferably liberal, and that'll probably carry through to the political themes in tWBtLatS.
That said, trailer looks good.

I was never as close to the industry, but I knew enough people doing world tours and then coming home to temp shifts in factories that I knew the score. It's why I never gave a shiny shite about piracy and neither did most indie labels and bands.
Every conversation had the same lesson - do not expect to make any money as an original musician, ever.
Bands I knew were doing 3000 people a night for months on a sensible budget and not making a penny, or even a loss. Every chat was "my tech makes more than me!"
