The most important achievement of the right in the C21st has been the invention of an all-powerful "establishment" that does not include the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, the world's richest media moguls, the party that was in govt for 14 years, Boris Johnson or the billionaire president of the US

Republicans’ budget bill earmarks a staggering $45 billion for immigrant detention centers. The biggest beneficiaries? Private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group – who both donated hefty sums to Trump’s inauguration. Always follow the money.

I have to keep restating this but I don’t care about convincing conservatives. They’re lost. I want liberals, progressives, and people who don’t yet understand they are liberals. We spend too much time trying to flip conservatives

Somewhat amazed at the amount of vitriol Will is getting here. He has a valid point about automated surveillance, and people getting on his case aren't going to help shake the notion that too many people live to be the hall monitors of society.

Most political commentators are too polite to say this, but Trump won because of his appeal to the most important voting bloc: morons. If the Democrats want to win again the answer isn’t becoming more left or more right, it’s coming up with dumb policies that morons like

The central lie of the Trump regime is that they’re doing all this on behalf of working people—rather than the corrupt billionaires who are lining their pockets.

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam

Fascism sets in EXACTLY like this. Days go by. Nothing improves. The people wait with bated breath for SOMETHING or SOMEONE to help. Court orders, but no enforcement. Time passes. We become desensitized. Life goes on. Rights are chipped away. Life goes on. People die. Life goes on.

So a respected journalist warned the nation that the Trump administration is a threat to free speech and, true to form, its state media outlet warns that there will now surely be retribution by the administration against that same journalist and his network for his act of free speech.

If the left was actively hating young white men, I feel like that's something I would have picked up on in the last twenty years or so. What I have seen though is a lot of (non-left) people telling young white men that the left hates them

Jordan Peterson was humiliated when he left his safe space, the same thing happened to Charlie Kirk. The more these people are challenged, the more they are exposed. This is why they rarely venture out of the right-wing bubble.

randomly saw this brief clip of the TV show Cheers recently, they asked him what war he's a veteran from and he said world war 1, I thought the math couldn't possibly work out but checked and the episode was made in 1982, not only does the math work, that actor Ian Wolfe was literally a medic in WW1
