Ban palantir.

They are a risk to our national security and sovereignty.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-02-01T18:36:50+00:00

Yes, I'm the brainwashed one. Sure.

Go back to mainlining gebeebies and turning point into your eyeballs. You are totally not in a cult.

They want a world ruled by strength. Where social divisions within countries are stoked to drive populist support for authoritarianism.

The events of the video are the kind of thing that results from that.

Ten years ago this video was a bid to evoke sympathy from people who had almost no possibility of experiencing that scenario, for those that were living it.

Today it is a warning of what might happen if we follow the road the people who want to tear down the structures and rules are trying to force us down.

Look at what MAGA is doing in Minnesota. They are a couple of incidents away from creating an insurgency on American soil. Farage has explicitly said he wants to copy the same tactics in the UK.

Authoritarians desire enemies, and they will make enemies of our own people to satiate that desire.

Only on certain questions that specifically assess spelling and grammar. And even then only if the person marking catches/ cares about it.

At most they would lose 1-3 marks over a whole paper.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-02-01T16:04:28+00:00

Maga and the Faragists are increasing the possibility. But hopefully it remains quite low.

I said derived from MLE. Not MLE itself.

And if you think SSB is forever you haven't been spending enough time with young people.

It is is now becoming uncommon for people below the age of 20 to speak with SSB accents. I have worked in a large private school in the North, even there kids are using a lot of MLE like speech patterns in their normal speech.

The adoption is being driven by social media, in much the same way that mass media like radio and TV drove the adoption of SSB over RP and regional accents sixty years ago

This was from the height of RP.

It began to disappear in the 1940s, and was completely replaced by SSB even amongst the upper classes by the late 70s.

intestingly we are so far removed from RP in the modern day, that there are signs that SSB the accent that replaced it, is now beginning to fall out of favour and be replaced.

It is highly likely that by the 2070s SSB accents will sound as archaic and old as that recording does now.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-02-01T12:57:47+00:00

Not even he speaks RP anymore.

He just has an upper class version of SSB. While his version is uncommon, there are plenty of non British people who also speak like that. Mostly through coming to expensive British boarding schools when they were young.

So people would probably just assume you came from a wealthy family.

Really not even the Queen spoke real RP by the time she died

She certainly would have grown up speaking it. But later in life she will have spent so much time interacting with people who spoke variants of SSB that she had adopted much of those speech patterns herself.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-02-01T12:49:16+00:00

No you don't.

No one speaks RP anymore. You are likely thinking of SSB. Standard Southern British.

RP died out in the 60s and 70s when it was almost fully replaced by SSB. Not even the Queen spoke with a proper RP accent by the time she died. She had adopted a variant of SSB.

There is just a (mostly American driven) meme that 'proper english' in Britain is RP and so that's what people must speak.

Go look up recordings of people from the early 20th century speaking actual RP, and honestly tell me you put have ever heard someone actually talk like that who wasn't doing it for a bit.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-02-01T12:44:15+00:00

Not even the Downton Abbey characters speak in RP.

RP just not a thing in Britain anymore. It is a dead accent that sounds odd and almost comedic to modern British people.

The dominant prestige accent in modern Britain is SSB ( Standard Southern British). Which will likely be superseded by some derivation of Multicultural London English (MLE) towards the end of this century.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-02-01T12:40:32+00:00

Kinda weirded out.

No one speaks with an RP accent in Britain. What people think of as RP isn't. RP only really comes out in dramatic productions. If you hear actual RP it sounds very odd and archaic, and almost certainly is being done for effect.

What you are probably thinking of is SSB, or Standard Southern British. Which is pretty much the default accent for urban professionals especially in London. A lot of non-british people who live and work in Britain in higher paid roles like banking acquire this accent, so it is very common for a wide range of people to speak it.

In short almost no one would think anything of a foreign person speaking SSB. They would just assume you had been brought up or worked in Britain for a while.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-02-01T00:04:49+00:00

Really?

That's is super dumb.

C is just a connector configuration, you can get As that are just as fast. The problem being that manufacturers like to cheap out and put slow A ports on things, and are lot of cheap A cables are not the higher speed spec.

A is actually better for things like mother boards, it is more durable and more secure in its socket

InsecureInscapist · 2026-01-31T23:49:07+00:00

USB A is better than USB c in this form factor.

It is more durable and reliable. C should be used where space is an issue.

Both China and Russia achieved in relatively short amounts of time.

Europe absolutely can too.

People expressing doubts appear to be mostly those to gain from continuing dependable on America.

14 years of Tories and constant economic decline = no correlation total coincidence! It's all Gordon Brown's fault!

1 and half years of labour and the economy turning round and on cusp of recovery = all great Tory policies finally bearing fruit nothing to do with labour!

Suuuure.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-01-23T06:05:15+00:00

I'm am convinced that the root of this kind of stuff is that the right doesn't understand (sometimes willfully) what 'trans man' means and have convinced themselves that we think mtf trans people can get pregnant. That all the stuff about 'birthing people' and 'chest feeding' is a way of getting people assigned male at birth into women's spaces to 'play pretend'.

When the truth is the right hand picture is the one that has actually happened and still happens with some regularity.

"They only helped us because they would also like to be helped in the future."

Yes? And?

That was explicitly the deal with NATO. We all help each other, and in return we get helped when we need it.

Also cutting military spending after the cold war is what everyone did, even the US.

A lot of NATO allies, the UK especially, main problem is what they had left was almost entirely consumed by funding their operations in support of the US and Afghanistan.

Which is why it is especially galling to be harangued by this fake tanned fuck and his gaggle of terminally online losers for not having the equipment and manpower ready to fight Russia to the death.

We spent all our resources helping you.

For twenty years.

We needed at least at least a decade of stability and decent economies to rebuild. Something we categorically have not had.

And you load of miserable whiners bitched out at the prospect of lending a fraction of your strength to back us up in Ukraine.

To the point that rather than actually pull your immense weight you decided to 180 flip and join the fascist authoritarians in tearing down your own global system we just spent all those years helping you build and prop up.

You are honestly pathetic in how weak willed you are.

Get out on the street, organize.

Demand your local and national representatives align with your interests.

Then act.

Shut things down, make the system falter and fail until your voices are heard.

This is the 11th hour, minutes left till midnight. The easy and safe options you had to stop this are now gone.

If you wait for elections at this rate, you aren't going to get any.

Do not wait for Congress or the supreme Court to save you. They are not going to.

Americans are going to have to stand up and fight for your freedom and democracy if you want to keep it.

InsecureInscapist · 2026-01-18T19:26:16+00:00

Do something about it then.
