The tech oligarchs and their ongoing attempted coup of American democracy. PINNEDElon sends his heart to you. I found a conspiracy theory on the internet and I believe it.

Do fear the reaper. PINNEDThe 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. PINNEDBiden'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? PINNEDI 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 »
Is the modern right preparing for the end times?The political actions of the tech oligarchs make sense if they think that most of humanity is going to die due to an environmental catastrophe, and they get to rule what is left. From Elon's obsession with colonising Mars to Theil's network states,... See More » (1)
Watch Sinners. It's a great movie.Don't read a review or watch a trailer cos it's spoiler prone to f###. Just watch it. I can say that it has extreme violence, intense social commentary and great music.
This is a brilliant bunch of parody music videos.Kyle Gordon has an internet channel that satires musical genres brilliantly. Some are better than others but the best are hilarious, and here you are: Contains swearing. Planet of the Bass: 90s Euro-Pop Crawl to Me: Every Nu-Metal band (but... See More » (3)
Is the Trump regime respected throughout the world??.I've seen posts in here and social media propaganda about Trump being an 'American badass.' He is 'feared and respected' like a drunk killer-clown. Kind of like if Chucky or 'It' did unintentionally stupid things while they tried to murder everyone.... See More »
What to make of the England Rugby team?Before the Six Nations (and even after the first few rounds) Ireland was nailed on to have about ten starters for the Lions test side. Their tournament badly petered out, and England (improbably) finished above them. As an England fan, I'm not... See More »
Is the Trump regime deliberately crashing the US economy?Is this stupidity or strategy? It could be either or both. Trump is telling Americans that they will have to feel pain. For what end? Whatever you think of the Trump regime, it is certainly a very different animal to 2016. You have Musk slashing... See More »

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.

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 »
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?
