“Britain’s former PM shows there’s no price to be paid for engineering mass slaughter in the service of western empire. Which is why those crimes not only continue, but grow in scale”

#Denmark swung both further #right and further #left. The #centrist parties were carved out, but ironically, it actually strengthened the power of the centrist party.

https://youtu.be/C4zreB1805o – Opposition to the Iran war exists, in the polls, on the streets, across Europe. But it isn't translating into political pressure. Why not? And what would it take to change that?

In this livestream, Yanis Varoufakis and Grace Blakeley examine the structural barriers keeping anti-war sentiment from becoming anti-war power, and what resistance could actually look like from here. Hosted by Mehran Khalili.

Friend left behind on twitter Battlefield

This post of yours really hit home.

I have an internet friend who was Left behind on twitter because he wasn't ready to move (WTF why)

I've been congratulating him  on important anniversaries of his, through the internet for years like an Atomic Clock

It's the 4th or the 5th Year that I couldn't do it, because I refuse to re-open my Twitter accounts to see the battlefield, the horrific nukes of War, the destruction that Elon and his cohorts created.

I miss talking to him
He's a good man, a successful Bounty Hunter by Day, a great pappa at Night

@IDoodle @mmalc

yup

not voting is passive acceptance of #fascism

#thirdparty voting divides the #left vote and is thus indirect support of fascism

(europeans: will you please try to understand how fucked up the #USA voting system is and please shut the fuck up about third party?)

thus we must take over the #democrats

it is the only way

get 100 #Mandani s and #AOC s

AND SHOW THE FUCK UP AND #VOTE IN THE #PRIMARIES #PRIMARIES2026 TO GET THE CANDIDATES YOU WANT YOU LAZY WHINY FUCKS

This should have been vigorously resisted as it was unfolding, but it was not as far as I can remember. It should be vigorously opposed now, but it is not. Data centers, our modern mills, are consuming vast quantities of critical resources like electric power and clean water, to the point that there are communities struggling to provide these resources to human beings who live there. Yet the pushback against this expansion is muted, and data centers are expanding rapidly. Where is the left's response to this corporate seizure of the means of production?

People are worried about generative AI taking jobs, and rightly so, but I think these concerns point to an overarching trend towards a kind of digital feudalization. Generative AI is already created by taking peoples' hard work without any compensation. You're permitted to use the technology "free of charge", but you can't pay the rent or mortgage, or buy food, with ChatGPT output. This essentially renders all of us as peasants.

The threat from bosses that you could be fired and replaced with generative AI, even if false, presses down wage demands and encourages doing work for no compensation. In this climate, people feel compelled to learn how to use generative AI to do their work because they perceive (again, probably rightly) that if they don't do that they will eventually find themselves without employment opportunities. Once again, if you're in a position of doing uncompensated work like this on behalf of a powerful entity, you are in a relationship distressingly similar to the one a peasant was in to a lord in the feudal system.

I'm not saying anything new here, just thinking out loud. But doesn't the left have anything to say, loudly proudly and often, about this? These are bread and butter issues for the left, aren't they?
