Good piece about a transnational trend in reactionary politics
Following in Murdoch's footsteps, we have seen countless reactionary billionaires building media empires, almost always at a huge loss
Profit is not the point, power is and weakened democratic institutions are unable to resist
Talarico's campaign also lacked an important element (dunking on people in easily-shareable video clips).
I've never understood how they square 'Israelis are the only Jews courageous enough to stand up for themselves instead of staying in the Diaspora where it's safe and they don't have to fight' with 'Israel is the only place Jewish people can be safe.'
Big q, do you think Black people are going to turn out for Talarico in the general?
I've heard people say they won't but those people are generally sulky khive bad losers.
to kill people.
I love that this is labelled 'graphic media.'
presumably it's an automatic reaction to his nipple but I'd like to think it's the dogshit quality of his coverup tattoo.
Labour List is a disgrace of a publication. I've tried emailing them to point out objectively untrue things they write about trans rights, they email back something like 'ok sorry' [dq] and then repeat the same lies next time.
the more coverage of the oyster nazi I see the more I want to have this tattooed on me #shabbatposting
Does that have any bearing on whether their story about Platner's nazi tattoo is true?
put a D into 'white power' and you've got it (according to a friend)
HE HANDED IT TO THE NAZIS
[for the first time since 1961] come on Mossad, do your thing.
from watching my American friends: every time they've seen a white politician talk about his Christian values it's been a far right piece of shit who follows it up with 'and that's why we need to kiII gays and turn women into brood mares' and they don't want to update their priors.
ngl I can absolutely imagine Wes Streeting saying this about gay people too.
I'm sure it's a pure coincidence that all the people who Streeting takes 'expert advice' from have an easily discoverable anti-trans bias.
gotta catch them all
“Sir Chris said he had “deliberately stayed out of this debate, because my view is far too many people have thrown far too many arguments into this where it’s not their area of expertise”.”
Mate, you’re England’s chief medical officer: you’re supposed to get involved.
I think it's rather more depraved to say that girls should be married at 16 because that's when they're most fertile than to say 'God is without gender' but obviously Matt's opinion is different.
I wonder if 'dumb' might be code for something.
Like I'm not that fond of Crockett but one thing she is not is stupid.
Stancil before the invasion: show yourselves, cowards, I will never log off.
Stancil after the invasion: I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL
you've got some ads cut about the nazi guy, right? just checking.
'which videos advocate for anything remotely bigoted'
people with nazi tattoos who retweet nazis and say that they're 'big fans' of nazi podcasts are not progressive.
If I were you I would avoid saying stuff like 'Crockett is probably less electable than Talarico' on here. She has... how to put it... a fandom.
particularly egregious example.
What about him scares you or reminds you of evangelicals preaching at you? He's repeatedly said that he believes in the separation of church and state (and has voted that way in the state senate).
If you're scared of politicians talking about their religion fair enough, but he doesn't seem a 1/2
this is the publication which hired people off Etsy to curse Charlie Kirk just before he got, well, Kirked.
So. Sleep with one eye open etc.
'I voted for Trump. That doesn't make me a racist.'
Actually yes it does, sorry.
Side note, but it is still striking how little Reform actually look like the rest of Britain in basically any polling and yet their base is treated as quintessentially authentic.
All the evidence we have suggests that a large majority of African-American voters are not whiny little fucking babies who stay home and sulk if they don't 1000% approve of the candidate. TLDR you are most probably correct.
