So the title should say that right wing and centrist sources are less factual than left wing ones.

That’s uh…what she said?

Well put.

A general strike is your only hand. So start prepping for that.

My partner would have been haggling that vendor down to a £1.

It’s a great story.

My grandad was a captain in the British army. He took part in the invasion and push up through Italy. He told us about the nightmare of trying to take Monte Cassino. He got put in jail (for a very short time) for punching an officer who was screaming in his face in the middle of a battle insisting that he order his men into a certain death situation. He was of the opinion that if you ever met a WWII vet that hadden’t spend some time locked up for insubordination they were of low character.

Oh sorry it’s not politically expedient to save the environment. All we understand is the orthodoxy of neo-liberal economic dogma where increasing inequality is the goal. So what we can offer you is a third runway at Heathrow.

As opposed to all the well known stamps that Trump has!?

The NHS adjudges that cat as having flew.

You think the NHS website is going to list a symptom of some illness as feeling unwell?

I’m from the UK too. I’m fairly certain that they mean nausea and throwing up.

•feeling sick and being sick

Nor that the information that they use against you be necessarily true given their accepted monopoly in ‘truth’.

The Bible and it’s mostly commendable teachings are an uncritically examined votive for a cargo cult that is being weaponised against America’s democracy. What the ten commandments are, or are not, is immaterial. The critical lesson is the hegemony of Christians over non-Christians and, most importantly, distilled to the naturalness/righteousness of hegemony/hierarchy.

It is a thin entering wedge that is intended to open up the possibility of inculcating children with divisive conceptions and undermining critical thinking.

Yes the ten commandments could be put up on the wall with egalitarian intentions but that is implicitly not the case with the MAGA movement.

I wasn’t trying to be argumentative just adding clarity. I hope.

Think of it more like the flu. If I caught the flu I might have a temperature, a sore throat, loss of appetite, and headaches. If you catch the flu you might get headaches, diarrhea, exhaustion, and a dry cough.

Fascism is built upon and characterised by the exploitation of the current fissures of a stressed society. It is unlikely to lead to gas chambers and Hugo Boss uniforms as they were part of the specific evolution of fascism in Germany after it was crippled by the loss of the first world war. Usually, there are all sorts of barriers to full blooded fascism that give it part of its local character too as it tries to morph into whatever conglomerate of memes that it can ride to power.

Right now in America the pressure for fascism is being built with the tacit support of a lot of evangelical christians. It is not the whole of the story. It is part of the conglomerate. So the pride flags come down and the ten commandments go up.

The impulse behind one act is inclusive, welcoming persecuted minorities. This is fundamentally egalitarian and strengthens society.

The other is intended as part of a drive for cultural hegemony where a specific ingroup is underlined as sovereign. A hierarchial society of a majority of innate winners and, importantly, subgoups of losers/outsiders (to be feared/hated) is the backbone of fascism.

Of course, a single piece of straw will not break society’s back and manifest fascism on its own but pressure towards it is created by an aggregation of such straw.

You beauty! I missed the update.

This bias has been known and commented upon in UK political forums for over a decade. This, for instance, is parr for the course.

The show also constantly used rightwing hacks from client media or thinktank spokespeople when filling the non-politician spot. It got to the point that if felt that Kate Andrews had been burnt onto my monitor.

Do you not have otters?

Money is power. Just because that shower have the sense to sit outside of the spotlight of political scrutiny does not mean that they are apolitical nor does it make the influence they cast not strongly American in flavour.
