thinking about #immigration, #SocialSecurity, #education etc and why the radical right-wing #conservatives movement will fail but cause a lot of damage before it fails.

A good long-form blog by @pluralistic, Cory doctoraw, explains one aspect of it far better than I can.

thank you @clive for finding this.

TL;DR
a system that has been simplified to the point where no fraud can take place within it is a system that is so trivial and brittle as to be useless.

Desperation is setting in among the Conservatives. Teesside Mayor Ben Houchen has suggested a coalition with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK to oust Labour — but is he the wrong man saying the wrong thing?

With Houchen’s questionable history and the deep divisions in the Tory party, could this risky strategy destroy their long-term future instead of saving it?

Ford-Poilievre rift on full display as federal race upended by strategic leaks

“If Poilievre loses his seat? He’s done. He’s gone,” said one Conservative source. “And so is Jenni. And if the Liberals win a majority, the knives will be out for Jenni as well. There’ll have to be a graceful exit.”

I see a lot of liberals on this site who express concern about many of the right things but who act in totally contradictory ways, advocating for politicians with a long track record of working with the enemy & trying to block and shout down more capable & less compromised potential leaders.

Why aren't young people #protesting?"

Consider—because they all got their shit rocked by #police & #prosecutors last year trying to stop a #genocide, and you abandoned them.

While it's not exactly this simple, we do together create #culture & #society with our little every-day actions. We have to be the change we seek in society as a whole as much as possible. We have far more #power working together than we often realize.

We're seeing manmade horrors unfold right in front of us every day as a result of late stage #capitalism imploding & still #Americans are like "maybe we can do capitalism without the bad stuff"

It's all bad guys, all of it, sorry. build #communism now.

Maybe its time to consider the fact that if these were actually “our” #institutions two #capitalists high off their own farts wouldn’t be able to dismantle them in 3 months time.

“They don’t have the #authority to do xyz”, yet they do it. How can we build a #society in which this doesn’t happen
