The tech oligarchs and their ongoing attempted coup of American democracy.

PINNED

Elon sends his heart to you. I found a conspiracy theory on the internet and I believe it. In this conspiracy: shadowy people with malign intentions get together and hatch a plot to surreptitiously hijack the American government and use it for... See More »

Do fear the reaper.

PINNED

The Palestinians are returning to their homes after the ceasefire\; picking bodies from the rubble in the relative peace of the eye of a hurricane. However, there is no politically viable solution in sight; None which recognises their humanity.... See More »

The gap between the rhetoric and reality of western politicians on Gaza.

PINNED

Biden's SOTU address really brought home how much the western governments are doing to prevent genocide of the Palestinians but it's missing the things that need to happen. The Biden administration is critical of Israel. It is asking Netanyahu to... See More »

Are our government's complicit in a coming genocide?

PINNED

I really want to be wrong but I fear that I am not. I started off predicting that tens of thousands would die in Gaza. I really hate to say that but think it will be in the hundreds of thousands. All the signs are that Israel is trying to make Gaza... See More »

Elon has plausible deniability,

Never in a billion years sis I think that I would agree with Steve Bannon on something.

Is MAGA the gateway drug to techno-feudalism? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/21/curtis-yarvin-trump

Remember when Hillary Clinton stored some confidential emails on a private server?

This was a massive scandal that showed a gargantuan level of corruption.I have been told that its one of the main reasons that Trumo won in 2016. Elon Musk, who has no legal role in government, no security clearance and no right to breach privacy... See More »

What is really going on in US politics?

Should we start calling it the Trump 'regime?'

The administration feels less like the appropriate word.

Trump is ripping off America and calling it anti-woke.

What DOGE and the Republicans are doing is deliberately making things worse for everyone but the top 1%. It's not about DEI, but about the entire US public sector. They know, however, that if they play to culture-war issues, then some people will... See More »

The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein

Is a relevent book.

Viktor Orban's Hungary is the model for the Trump/Musk playbook.

More accurate than calling Trump a fascist is describing him as a new authoritarian. There are plenty of far-right leaders in Europe and elsewhere who he can be compared to. The best possible comparison for what is now happening in America is what... See More »

Can Trump abolish the US Constitution by executive order?

And... if he did, would 40% of Americans be OK with that as long as a ketamine-addicted billionaire said they were targeting government waste?

DOGE is the attempted gutting of the US administrative state to maximise corporate profits.

I could write an essay on this but it's not complicated.

DOGe makes a public service announcement.

Trump says that tariffs 'may' cause pain to Americans.

Is that justifiable, as long as they cause pain to people you don't like? It stikes me that masochism is a big part of MAGA. I get that people see free international trade as a problem that has damaged America. I actually agree on that and I think... See More »

Ireland vrs England

It was a deserved win for Ireland. It was expected but it was a highly competitive game. Ultimately, the difference was the amount of possession. Ireland spent much of the second half camped in England's 22. As well as England defended, the pressure... See More »

How do you participate in a political debate on SW?

That's right Sweeps. For those of you who are new to this website or just stay away from the politics section (why?) Burnley123 is here with a user guide to help you to do that. 1) You are here to WIN. Don't think that this is anything mutual or... See More »

I put in the news today and it reminded me of the bulletins from Robocop.

Trump is going to be worse this time around.

He's going to get a lot more done this term and it's going to be bad. Bad for Americans and bad for erstwhile allies.

Everton fire the dour, contrarian, defensively minded Sean Dyche.

With David Moyes.

So who will be Canada's Rishi Sunak?

The PM to come into an impossible situation, fail to improve things and lose badly.

The richest man in the world takes more drugs than. @Glittereater

A month ago, he told Farage he was going to bankroll his party, now he wants him to resign. Go to Mars Elon and get yourself involved in their politics. Though I'm pleased that this damages Farage
