I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights.
The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system.

The Founders have only themselves to blame for the debasement of the Republic that we're seeing.
They wanted a President who mimicked the role of a King, subject to constraints.
Britain developed away from that. The Parliamentary model makes the executive subservient to the legislature.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it?

New post on populist 'red pill' propaganda.
Am very interested in the way that the populist right is using the old form of the lefty critique of ideology, while peddling patriarchal domination and racism as if it is countercultural and cool.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
