I don't think there's ever complete agreement within a party. It's more about the primary policies, surely? And IMO opposing the rise of fascism takes precedence over most other disagreements atm.

If today you're thinking, I want a party that's:

- rising in the polls
- focused on tackling the cost of living
- and genuinely democratic

Bloody hell Gorton voting Reform, what a joke. Used to live around there in my early 20's. Can't imagine Farage cares a bit for the issues in the area.

I've been saying this for a year, and the point is to use the word before it's too late because it conveys the moral urgency.

Rather than it being "our support", you might mean that you don't see the same Tyrants' and oligarchs' hands pulling the strings to enrich themselves and serve their self-interest in both cases.

If you don’t see the connection between our support for the murders of civilians in Gaza and for the pogroms in the occupied territories and Minneapolis, you are blind.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

If this is a conceptual problem I can't see how Science can answer it. Is there some Scientific theory in which "fate" is operationalised as a term? If not, this seems like inappropriate religious storytelling being branded as Science. -- Same criticisms of Sapolsky.

The same body that has protected us from the repealing of many EU laws that protect the climate, food hygiene and uphold human rights for asylum seekers and so on. If you were to tally decisions they've made you think are good and compare that to bad, you may be surprised.

Creating sexualized images of children is very bad. Creating nonconsensual sexualized images of adults is also very bad. Eliminating just the use on children will not fix the problem.

MAGA Jesus Is Not the Real Jesus Trump is causing incalculable damage to the Christian faith, yet most evangelicals will never break with him.

The Christian fundamentalists and evangelicals aligning with ICE are β€œprying Christianity further and further away from the ethic and teachings of Jesus,” Peter Wehner argues.

Reform UK support is highest among Leave voters, those with lower levels of education, and those from routine and manual occupations, while peaking among those in their 60s
Greens now lead among the under 30s, including holding a 37% vote share among 18-24 year olds

Reform UK support is highest among Leave voters, those with lower levels of education, and those from routine and manual occupations, while peaking among those in their 60s Greens now lead among the under 30s, including holding a 37% vote share among 18-24 year olds

This is key if we want to think of the "working class" and "the people" in a more political way

Having a "lower level of education" and being in "manual or routine occupation" in your 60s could well mean you own a house, have a good pension etc

Young people on the other hand...

The status quo "working" has led many to intellectual and moral complacency on these issues.

When US imperialism wasnt hurting us we didnt consider it a moral problem, or them as flaky allies.

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.

When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.

The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.

It's time for a rethink.

Again it is something that people in previous eras have commented on but I still find it just astonishing to witness in my own: fascism is somehow the natural ideology of loser men, just all of our most pathetic and contemptible instincts rendered into a worldview.

1926: the BBC decided women should not be radio announcers:

"The...physical strain...is greater than could be borne by the average woman", & "there is something incongruous in a woman announcing weighty news bulletins or...football results".

The decision was rapidly reversed after public derision.

If the answer to these questions is that we were lucky enough to be born in the UK in the past 50 years, then we ought to accept and face up to the groundlessness of our deepest values & get on with improving the world - not crying about it and grasping at falsehoods.

It doesn't need a treatise, and that would be pointless if it bottoms out in "so long as everyone goes along with it" (which it does ).

Part of the (good) criticism Humanists (org) has made of religions is that some seek to paper over their prejudices with implausible post-hoc just-so stories.
