Would Alistair Cooke have returned to the UK by now, if he was still very much alive?

@anthonyklan.bsky.social Reddit re: Plymouth Brethren in UK. The Unispace example pushed by Government is worse. An office interior design company granted £680m for PPE. Unispace owned by the son of Bruce Hales, leader of the PB. Firms linked to them received £2b of PPE contracts.

Investigate?

"At its sharpest stage." Hope this is an understanding Russia is in the balance. If so, let more be done. Let Europe, in spite of Trump and the GOP, make a concerted effort not to be intimidated by civil/military dislocation of their societies by Russian attacks. Act now, prevent more damage later.

You got me there - where it hurts. After 20 mins though I felt relief, as if I could go out flying against fascists, anywhere.

To atomise society via self-interest instead of community values. To turn religion from equality (NT) to Old Testament fixed, authoritative structures. The Gini, social mobility, declined under the GOP. Culture wars are a deflection & means which corporations, elites appropriate Federal fin capital.

theft/greed is reflected in economic data you need a scapegoat to shift attention from corporations in your pocket to The Left or Woke. Hence a cultural focus justifies a whole socio-economic schema (a la neoliberalism) to restructure society into a while male, authoritarian, rigid, hierarchy

But that in itself is an outcome. Sought after by neoliberal think tanks, corporations and corporate elites. You need a widely held reason and a process to expropriate the American people (64% of federal funds come from Y and social security taxation, only 6% corporate taxation.) Bc corporate

And because the base resentment is cultural, they won't be satisfied until they have command over each aspect of society. This is why they're so furious, even though they control two branches of government entirely (and the highest body in the third). They want to punish people for cultural dissent.

A biased narrative at the heart of American life. Innocent are perpetrators, deserving of no pity. Where 'woke' became a term of deserving destruction, whole swathes of people threatened, blamed by the RW/Corporate/GOP appropriation machine for injustices beyond their ken. Kirk died by his own hand.

Kirk's message: weapons of war, guns, THE means to defend the Constitution. No, that's the role of legislation and good Judiciaries. The RW, Corporations, GOP never defended the Constitution as a right of protection for its people. Constitution justified selling weapons of war on its own children

You made me think of a wholly AI endogenous economy. The inflation rate would be astounding or at equilibrium? Resource allocation debilitating for humans, and in the end what are its self-protecting levers. When function equates to purpose.

Just another reason why Australian life is advantageous to its members sitting somewhere between the USA and the EU. It even entered popular culture back in the 80's. youtu.be/Ofrqm6-LCqs?...

The ALP's main policy goal - for itself - is to replace the LNP as Australia's centrist party. It is not about to go and do anything a RW orientated MSM can use to undermine that intent. The Voice referendum provided all the incentive and understanding the ALP needed about where it needed to stand.

What makes you believe merely the scale of socio-economic immiseration will be sufficient to redress corporatism? When 64% of the US pop face a rentier model. Corp: think tanks will ensure a new scapegoat. 45 yrs since the Reagan/Thatcher axis and the scale of corporate state capture has only grown.

Minorities novelty are not necc. nascent innovative forms, rather down the line grist, lubrication. Dependency, whole of culture appropriation by elites. 2nd L: mere recognition drivers of personal enaction are greater than agency limitations of their model.

Nothing a card index can't fix going to your local or university library. Gives time for reflection.

That's children sleeping, going to school (if the class room has not been bombed,) children sitting outside, queuing for food, after being told your home and land is now taken over by Israeli settlers so move on. All Western Democracies aid and abet this genocide and are, therefore, equally culpable

And Barnaby Joyce's role was...

It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes ■ Netanyahu, Katz reject claims, call them 'blood libels'

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli military while waiting for food (which they are being deprived of). There is no justification - no excuse - no context that changes the fact that this is a war crime, pure and simple.

"...he wanted a deal..." then why did Trump at the end of his first term unilaterally rescind the previous 'deal'? Why did he rip up a deal existent?

I think you mean, we are blind to the forces at work, the type of pressure Israel can bring to bear on every, allegedly, LW leader in the Occident. When you have Israeli General's personally briefing the BBC. Look who personally benefits from Israeli occupation - that is captured Western power.

The state of politics undermining Government. Something has to be done when elites sacrifice economy for personal gain. Surely, there are some significant CEO's who can band together to impose rational understanding. Even the Heritage Foundation can see its short run self-seeking leaves nothing?
