The shameless bullshit of the bloviator right in Britain. Fraser Nelson trying to take the high ground against ethno-nationalist Conservatism. From someone who published as editor of the Spectator the repugnant racism of Douglas Murray & Rod Liddle (to name but two!). HT @jdportes.bsky.social

French far-right leader cancels CPAC speech over Steve Bannon’s ‘Nazi’ salute

submitted 1 day ago • 50 comments

Yes, and whether he did it because it symbolises things he agrees with and wants to project or whether he did it to troll everyone after Musk did the same, it doesn’t matter: he still did a Nazi salute at a conservative conference, and this should concern us all

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

I’m increasingly of the view that whether media outlets call this a Nazi salute tells you everything you need to know about them. If they don’t have the courage to say things which can be proven simply by looking at them, how can they be trusted to hold the Trump admin to account on anything else?

"Spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." "A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call ... from a lawyer at X. The message was clear ... Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." A merger could be tanked. Gift!

US National Security Advisor Waltz says Trump's issues with Zelensky "multifold." Says Ukraine needs to be more thankful to US, that Zelensky "insulted" Trump (re: VZ's reference to DT living in a Russian "disinformation sphere")... makes clear they want Ukraine to sign over country's rare earths.

Vance calls Zelenskyy "disgraceful" for pushing back on Trump's claim that Ukraine started the war. If Trump tells you that night is day, you'd better echo him or you will pay. America is now a predator nation. thenationalpulse.com/2025/02/19/e...

39% of Tesla's operating profit comes from the sale of federal government-issued carbon offset credits. Tesla owes a lot to the federal government. Setting aside tax breaks to buyers and the company, the sale of carbon credits has been increasingly important to Tesla's operating profit.

Spot on. Trump, like Hegseth, Vance, Musk etc has a performative notion of strength which is all macho posturing.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I’m not sure you can spend the last decade painting anyone who still supports membership of a trading partnership as a traitor then pivot to “we must give the authoritarian invader of Europe everything he wants” and not expect a teensy bit of Quisling chat back, if I’m honest.

Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks. We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.
