Improvements since we had Brexit

Best meme of the day

His answer is simple:
Do not internalise it.
Do not repeat its language.
Do not accept its stories.
Do not surrender your dignity.

Biko matters because racism’s greatest weapon is not hatred shouted, but hatred normalised.

Miller builds politics on cruelty and exclusion.
Biko builds politics on the opposite: freedom begins when people refuse to be defined as lesser.

Bannon imagines civilisation at war with ‘outsiders’.
Biko imagines humanity enlarged by recognition and solidarity.

Biko interrupts this at the root.
He insists dignity is not conditional. The first liberation is mental. The most radical act is rejecting racist categories.

Far right ideologues depend on psychological conquest: hierarchy internalised, entitlement justified, doubt planted.

Black Consciousness refused that story.

Biko understood oppression survives through stories about who belongs, who is ‘normal’, who is a threat.

Figures like Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller trade not only in policy, but mythology: stories of ‘replacement’, stolen nations, identity under siege. Grievance dressed up as civilisation.

His legacy matters now, as an antidote to today’s far right mythmakers.

Biko was dangerous because he preached dignity, pride, solidarity, and full humanity. The state could not tolerate that.

Black Consciousness was not simply politics, but restoration. A refusal to accept the coloniser’s definition of the self.

Black Consciousness was not simply politics, but restoration. A refusal to accept the coloniser’s definition of the self.

As a medical student, his deepest diagnosis was social: the strongest prison is built inside the mind.

Biko knew oppression is not just laws, but psychology. Apartheid worked by convincing the oppressed they were lesser, that humiliation was normal, obedience survival.

Stephen Biko was only 30 when the apartheid state killed him, but his gift was immense: he restored inner freedom.

This is significant. It shows the lengths an authoritarian regime will go to in order to preserve itself.

Why is it that the rich keep growing richer and the poor poorer, yet the poor still vote for those the rich choose?
Because the rich shape the stories people hear, through media, adverts, politicians who speak like friends but legislate like financiers.
It’s persuasion layered over exhaustion.

And maybe the simplest way to end this medical record is also the loudest:

Release Epstein’s client list.

Just do it, Pam.

This wasn’t a tweet.
It was a cry for attention from a man who can’t exist unless he’s both hero and victim.

Haunted by history.
Warped by delusion.
Seduced by power.

13/15
And then the grand finale:
“Now it’s the HOTTEST Country in the World.”

Never mind the civil division.
The children deported.
The shattered democracy.
The coup attempt.

He’s still selling America like a steak with his name on it.

Most chilling?
The moral vacuum.

Epstein? “Somebody that nobody cares about.”
Pam Bondi? “Doing a FANTASTIC JOB,” because she defends the leader.

Merit? Irrelevant.
Loyalty? Everything.

You’ve seen this character on Netflix.
The charismatic leader.
The descent into madness.
The spiral toward catastrophe once the grip on power begins to slip.

10/15
This isn’t communication.
It’s indoctrination by volume.

A cult-u-tan leader shouting into the void, trying to drown out the creeping doubt whispering in his own mind.

9/15
The language?
Childish in syntax.
Authoritarian in tone.

“THE PERFECT administration.”
“THE TALK OF THE WORLD.”

A dictator with a reality TV budget.

8/15
He moves with the blind confidence of terminal narcissism.

“They used the Dossier on me,” he howls.

Me. Me. Me. Always me.

America didn’t lose an election.
It died. Until he resurrected it—at Mar-a-Lago, mid-golf swing.

7/15
Classic projection:
Whatever he’s done, he accuses others of it.

Epstein? A distraction—unless they use it against him.
Hunter’s laptop? Crucial.
His own indictments? Witch hunt.
His crimes? Patriotism.
