Lisa Nandy is a hard working intelligent MP who actually delivers on her promises. Starmer has chosen to demote her for Angela Rayner, a person who spends her days blocking anybody she disagrees with online. Are Labour actively trying to lose the next election?

I understand a lot of the arguments that some have promulgated in terms of staying on #twitter especially artists. I'm a writer I get it.

But I think coordinated efforts could have ended Musk's bullshit a long time ago.

Regular posting is the life blood of #socialmedia and #advertising going on content #strike even just for a day if given enough people can really fuck up a platforms bankroll and also make it clear who is generating the money for them.

I think it's time the #left shows Musk where the money is coming from and that they will not be bullied. Get the big wigs in on it and you'll have no issue.

IMO: Although leftists may want more #Left, the more Joe moves left, the more he loses the center. Now, with a supposed center party showing up, #Democrats risk losing that center outright. Also, there is currently no center in the #Republican party: they've either shifted #FarRight with the #MangoAmericano, left the party to become #Independents, or resigned themselves to vote Dem just to avoid voting #Trump.

A quotation from Galbraith, John Kenneth:

«
Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy — what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.

Writing your ethical application and using your breaks to listen to leftist philosophers isn't a good idea. I am closing my day with 700 words of stream of consciousness that started as a reflection on the #RightToRepair and ended with a #SmashTheSystem call (unpublished and unpublishable for now).

The Left Must Destroy The Left

Stuff that probably should be said.

Definition: Identity (of a person) here means how a that person views themselves as a charicter in naratives they perceive as playing out.

Example: Lennin obsessively reading "what is to be done".

Implication: It's very important for people with the relevant skills to write good stories with naratives and charicters that target specific types of people inorder to mobilise them against the power structure.

Only recently I noticed my wife (whom I have known for 7 years) has mainly #rightwing political opinions (except shes strongly against banning abortion and her BFF is a gay guy), and I have mainly far #left opinions.

And yet I would consider her a nicer and more compassionate person than myself. I learned a great deal from her and she brought be great peace.

The majority of right leaning folks are good reasonable people, not Nazis. Its easy to forget that while on the Internet.

#Germanhistorylesson Still, it would be wrong to conclude from that that it had no impact. It played an important role in the political theory. Even for a country which didn't have any colonies, the idea of colonialism can have grave consequences for the political sphere. Newer events somewhat overshadowed it, but the German political spectrum is still divided in a 'pro-colonial' and an 'anti-colonial' camp - our #right and our #left-wing parties come from there.

“Reading ‘Tyranny, Inc.,’ I kept wondering how Ahmari had gone from conservative cultural crusader to genuine economic populist and, more important, whether any other social traditionalists could make the same leap.”

#Right #Left #CommonGood

The most interesting thing about our journey as a species to me is that our #evolution transcended the normal barriers of #nature via the very #existential back-and-fourth we're experiencing right now ... Our ongoing #competition against one another instead of a natural predator is why we're #unique
