Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". 

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

She made a career choice. She’s hoping she can line up some post-parliament work, but I suspect she’s fucked it. Wrong class.

She’s a fucking scum bag and a ghoul. Invoking racism as a fig leaf for her own racism.

Somewhat related to this is the EU Schrems II ruling. The EU has found that US tech companies cannot be used for government infrastructure as their first loyalty is to the US government.

See the restrictions on Francesca Albanese by the US - cannot use Visa or Mastercard, among other things.

'We must become less reliant on American tools': Windows 11 is so bad the French government is switching to Linux — and Microsoft should be worried Is 2027 set to be the year of Linux? There are signs that this might actually be the case, this time.

This article is weird. France isn't switching to Linux because Windows is bad - it's switching because Microsoft is a US company, US companies fall under US law, and thus simply cannot be trusted with EU data. Windows can't "solve" this. There's no "fix" here.

Another stupid bastard.

And the Nuremberg pfp - have you heard of Operation Paperclip? You do realise your government scooped up a load of Nazis for their own ends.

The US are the bad guys, always have been.

Once again. These people do not want freedom of speech, they want the freedom to monolog without criticism.

They're going to end the freedom of speech of students to protest bigoted speakers they disagree with.

Analysis of the far right in Scotland without mentioning loyalist and loyalist-adjacent communities misses the point entirely.

Over several recent elections these people have been courted by all of the right leaning parties (including Labour, who have Orange order candidates in Lanarkshire).

This is the straw man they have attempted to use previously, signalling their abject stupidity.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Peak mainstreaming:

A so-called festival of philosophy with all the most reactionary speakers the UK has to offer fooling some left-wing speakers into thinking this is a debate rather than a way to make their extreme ideas seem part of the conversation...

Starmer didn't know about Mandeslon failing his vetting.

The man who every centrist presented as the most forensic & detailed motherfucker you've ever seen, a bloodless automaton of pure procedure, in reality has no idea about what's going on around him, & may as well be sitting in his office counting crayons or throwing paper planes at the bin.

For years now I've been saying we were headed for France post-2017 politics in the UK—leftists vs. fascists. It didn't need to be like this—the party that won a generational landslide *chose* it.

It wasn't some ineluctable fate, it came to be because this is who they are & this is what they wanted

“People will get lonelier and angrier.”

Which people? Poor use of language, they need a better editor.

Much better.

More than a fifth of UK’s ‘austerity children’ scarred by poverty, study says Researchers say hardship is a direct legacy of welfare benefit cuts imposed by Tory governments in recent years

I feel like there should be quite severe personal social and career consequences for people who pushed this on the public. If kids being on their damn phones somehow caused the avoidable death rate to skyrocket, I think we would hear a lot about it.
