He doesn't care. He knows they're screwed at the next GE. He already has cushy corporate gigs lined up for after. Just like Blair did, who's now rolling in mint. They are all corporate stooges, they do their bidding. And will be handsomely rewarded.

Firstly, it's clickbait. Secondly, they are not doing that 'accidentally'. Obv they're not serious. But they have a partnership deal with an AI company, and that's what all this is about. It helps to have some media savvy.

I know you think some 'good marketing' is all you need. But this isn't the answer. The issue is, this economy under Dems you're so proud of only benefits a small minority. The vast majority see no benefit, their lives just keep getting worse. That's why you keep failing.

See, you're still doing it. No, it's ok, we get it. You don't care about brown people far away. You know your lifestyle is only be maintained through the ravages of empire, so you're happy to look away when it happens. You'll never understand why we don't play your immoral game, we don't look away.

Yup. Basically, his approach is what the Germans tried. Our approach is what happened in Britain. It wasn't a fluke we didn't slip into fascism. The likes of Churchill would have been happy to play either role.

Drawn (@commoner.bsky.social) reply parent
I actually think people like him know this. At this point, they want a little fascism because it will help protect their money. With capitalism starting to eat itself, it needs either destruction (war) or wealth distribution to kick start it again. And #theguardian is happy to platform them.

Just ban them.
Drawn (@commoner.bsky.social) reply parent
We know how to shut them down. You do not. All you have to offer is Chamberlain levels of appeasement. That's why you guys always fail to stop fascism and then a whole lotta people gotta die. Go look in your town centre, you'll find a memorial there to the people who knew how to deal with fascists.
Drawn (@commoner.bsky.social) reply parent
The problem with doing this is that these people will then see themselves as being even more important, with the right to do what they want in urban spaces. The 'because I pay more' mentality creates an elite. These cars just need to be banned, and all private vehicles have a size/width restriction.

Captains of capitalism, embodied by the FT, is desperate for war. They see capitalism is eating itself and they need the destruction war offers to kickstart the endless production/consumption cycle again. And no one starts war better than fascists. That's why the likes of FT print shit like this.

The problem with your framing is that neo-liberal outlets, like The Guardian, use voices like yours and Owen's to create a veneer of 'left-leaning social democratic' identity, only to actively undermine any possibility of it when some social democratic or anti-war thoughts rise above the parapet.
