His value to the Right wasn't any philosophy or praxis, it was that he was good at training youngsters to become part of an army of stochastic terrorists.

Reform UK, AFD, and MAGA are all Russian - Israeli fronts. They launder their money to politicians, influencers (propagandists) and lobbyists masked as political donations and through wealthy compromised intermediaries. Releasing the Epstein files disrupts their mules. #3E #opdeatheaters
Is it our Pox News? Dripping nonsense into the discourse.
Maybe Kirk was killed purely because he was famous? And perhaps the killer wasnāt of sound mind.

The dark hand of targeting kids on social media. We are all in our own echo chambers, influenced by those who are out to drive change, for good or not.

Expect Reform to offer roles and recognition to figures from the disordered counterpublics that make up their coalition, a way to secure the loyalty (and votes) of their cohort. It worked for Trump, so expect a poundshop version of that from Farage.
Do you still have the clip of you doing stand up around the time that Rayner was being criticised in the press for her housing arrangements, and the story was overtaken by the Tory MP who had to try and cadge 6 grand off his local party branch because he was being held against his will at an orgy?

Famously the environment now is that if I were to choose to cross the border I'm subjecting myself to a coin toss on whether or not I get sent to an internment camp for months with no legal process before eventually being expelled to a labour camp overseas. For this and many reasons, I now stay here

So acc to a very agitated Malcolm Rifkind on Today we are in a national crisis re Immigration and the only solution is to leave the EHCR. - This wonāt solve anything. Itās just Brexit 2.0. The absolute hysteria that has engulfed some politicians and the U.K. media is astonishing. To put it mildly.

Miraculously, he didnāt hit a single CDC employee! But he did kill David Rose, the police officer who responded, who leaves behind two children and a pregnant wife. I can't help but imagine the vast attention this case would have received if the race of the shooter and the victim were reversed.

This is the same amount as the entire National Science Foundation's R&D spending for the entire field of *engineering* for the whole country. All of it.
Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructorsā syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. Itās hard to describe how far past McCarthyism weāre headed here.

Using social media to develop opposing group norms, then putting them against one another, is both as old as time and also a new way to sow dissent from a distance.

That sinking feeling when you accidentally send a tariff letter addressed to the leader of a ruling military junta that the United States refuses to recognize or (otherwise) engage with. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Yes, all true, and... the US govt refused to regulate social media in any way similar to regs for broadcast networks/radio/advertising etc. Pelosi's 90M stock portfolio was more important. So governments have to do *something* to combat disinfo and Nazi recruiting. And it won't be great policy...

There is no tax rate low enough that the rich won't bitch and moan and threaten to leave over it, so the most logical reaction to their *constant* overreaction to *any amount of taxes* is to tax these whiny plutes at a rate that actually hurts them. Because their reaction will be *exactly* the same.
He's no Boothroyd or Bercow, but Lindsay Hoyle does have his moments, like here after a PMQs q about Covid loan fraud. Farage's face is hilarious.

Academic research is the flint that strikes the rock, showering sparks. Every so often a spark catches and leads to a fire that feeds the engines of biotech and pharma and forms the basis of transformative medicines. Do not shut off the sparks. 7/7

In his first year as PM, Boris Johnson left the EU and locked the country down while he ineptly invented arbitrary Laws for the little people, which he then personally proceeded to ignore. He was so, so much worse on every level. Even kids news canāt disguise it. www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/62...

This is a moment for doctrine enforcement by the In group, reminding dissenters they're either going to fall in line or fall out of the In group.
Thatās why critical thinking education isnāt optional, itās foundational. If verification now happens at the level of the individual, then the individual needs the tools institutions once provided, rigour, scepticism, and the ability to challenge their own assumptions.
