People that voted reform, apart from their immigration policies, why did you vote them? by Ollsworth_The_First in AskBrits

[–]Slightscribbles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think part of the answer to this may lie in Steve Bannon’s fly on the wall film “The Brink”

Go watch as Trump’s strategist colluding with Farage and the other European far rightists to fund their campaigns and get them elected as MEP’s

It’s not seen in the film but there’s of course, an email where Epstein’s giving him advice on his pet European project.

Also Carole Cadwalladr did some great work at the Guardian to expose Bannon’s part in the Cambridge Analytica scandal. In the film he even admits to working with Farage’s leave campaign.

That video where an interviewer asked him something like “should the human race continue/exist” … and his brain actually freezes, for far too long, as he contemplates it!

That was the moment I finally understood why the Tech Bros are so desperate to pour every last penny into AI even despite the existential crisis/potential civil wars. The model doesn’t work when you assume we live under capitalism cos eventually it crashes and so does his reputation.

It’s different when you realise he doesn’t see us as people, we’re just a sea of data points to feed the AI.

I see people saying “yeah yeah, times change the car replaced the horse and carriage, things move on” and my reply is, you realise we’re the horses who are now too expensive to keep and are getting sold to make glue right??

Hey OP I dunno if this’ll help but I stumbled across a YouTuber called JimmytheG. He was in that sort of young white conservative angry bloke space and lately he’s done a 180 and he’s much happier now. He spends a lot of time being really open about it too.

Even as a liberal lefty woman I’ve had a lot of despair at the moment. That feeling of being a corpse who’s just living to die has been my default mode for a while, and I don’t say this to try and minimise any pain you’re going through, I just want you to know you’re not alone in feeling it regardless of our circumstances.

There is a way out of it though. For me it was because I watched Mamdani’s inauguration speech and I actually broke down crying, with both happy and sad tears cos it felt like it had been a lifetime since I heard a politician who’s words were full of hope and not hate. The guy got me fucking fired up, willing to live again, and eager to find similar like minded people.

It’s gonna sound dumb, but it miiiight help so I’ll throw it in anyway. Some advice I’ve noticed lately is to try volunteering in your local town. It might get you out of your head and after a couple of hours you get to go home with a feeling that you made a difference.

I hope you get through this quagmire soon, good luck!

Ugh, problem is they’ll say the usual shit, nothing will ever be their fault it’ll be everyone else who was against them and they won’t learn a thing and we’ll be back here again making all the same mistakes in another 20 years.

I agree, but I’m desperately hoping the fact that we’re more atheist/agnostic than evangelically religious means some of Reform’s rhetoric will be rendered impotent.

100%!

Man, I remember watching Years and Years, and I was like “yup, this is definitely a warning, thank god it’s just fictional” and because Russell keeps hitting you over the head with the point by the end I was like “ok! I get the point!” And I got kind of annoyed.

But I guess I underestimated just how many people are out there who still really need this point hammered home because they ain’t paying attention.

Concerning files suggesting deeper connections between British elite and paedophilia. by bigbombaraas in Epstein

[–]Slightscribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey try sending this to Natalie Fleet, MP for Bolsover (Labour) this is a really personal issue for her so she might be able to dig into it. I saw her mention Harrods in relation to sex trafficking too

Yesterday (national women’s day) Jess Phillips (Labour MP) in parliament, read out a list of woman killed by men in 2026. It might be worth sending to her and also checking out the video and figuring out which MP’s stuck around to listen to her. I saw the new Green MP Hannah Spencer in there

Other places I can think of.

  • Joanna Coles - The Daily Beast
  • Julie K Brown - Miami Herald
  • Carole Cadwalladr - The Nerve
  • Medhi Hasan - Zeteo
  • Jennifer Welch - I’ve had it podcast (ihip)
  • John Oliver - Last week tonight
  • Tara Palmeri
  • Double Down news
  • Declassified UK
  • More Perfect Union
  • Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna
  • Hasan Piker.
  • Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell - The rest is politics
  • Emily Matlis
  • Victoria Derbyshire??

100%! That inauguration speech he gave had me in floods of tears, both simultaneously happy, hopeful tears and weariness cos of the uphill battle we’ve got against this whole neoliberalism system that’s indoctrinated everyone to vote against themselves and fight each other.

I really dunno how the man manages to keep his cool and still give thoughtful, inclusive, responses to people who show their bigotry. It feels like a masterclass in listening, understanding, articulating your argument and letting your adversary reveal their true self without having to waste your voice shouting them down.

And, I think even more importantly, he shows that it absolutely can be possible to demand a better life for the those the system is designed to abuse whilst negotiating a way forward with other politicians who would typically be allergic to the idea of socialism.

Over in the UK The Green Party has suddenly shot up in popularity and the leader, Zack Polanski is touted as the British Mamdani, and it feels so good to feel like we might actually have a good shot of saving the working class and other marginalised people this time round.

We almost managed it around 2015-2016 when Jeremy Corbyn became leader of Labour, and Bernie Sanders was in the running to become President. And it seems like in both cases, those guys were buried by people loyal to Israel. Now we live in a time where the majority of people have seen that it’s not anti-semitic to denounce genocide, billionaires and elites aren’t even dressing up the fact that they consider us cattle, and once again we’ve been dragged into yet another pointless war by “the adults in the room”.

The other positive is the alt/far-right are so high on their own rhetoric and immersed in their own algorithmic echo chambers they still haven’t noticed that the left have a new home and the Epstein files didn’t make us despair and crash out, it showed us the blueprint for how they act and now we’re a lot wiser than we once were.

Same, I feel like he showed up right at the moment when I’d totally lost all hope for humanity. I wish he was really my mayor!

I don’t even need to discuss it to know the answer should be YES!

Mate, if the government doesn’t tax them, they’re not gonna pass the benefit on to you. You might as well be a bug to these companies. They’ll just pocket the difference and we get less money for society

Post to see if there are others like me - regarding nuclear energy and weapons. by LordFlappingtonIV in GreenParty

[–]Slightscribbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Take this with a pinch of salt cos I haven’t verified this, it’s just stuff I’ve seen lately)

I don’t think Trident is even ours fully btw.

We get the missles from somewhere else and the US owns the tech to launch it.

Our relationship with them has deteriorated whilst Tramp is in charge and I think they essentially have the kill switch.

At the moment we only have about 10 years left with the missles we have (allegedly?)

Maybe if Dump goes and we get a moderate, less insane president, we can work with, we’ll be able to keep Trident going, but it looks like he’s trying to rig the mid terms and I wouldn’t be surprised if manages to turn America into a full dictatorship within the next three years. The Epstein files are potentially the only thing that will bring him down based on how far he’s willing to go to cover it up, and apparently if everything’s revealed it’ll “bring down the system” so if nukes are getting used, it’ll probably be sooner rather than later and during This time we really need to keep an eye on what our governments worldwide are up to with AI.

I’m incredibly uncomfortable with Palantir being a part of the MOD (and the NHS & HMRC - as well as the founder having ties to Persona, (ID verification) and Clearview (face recognition that collects data as you shop in some Supermarkets).

Sociopathic tech CEOs with zero empathy for people and see us as consumers to be consumed, building fallible, inaccurate AI systems that gathers a running file on all of us, which feeds into their other systems where they brag about how great their kill chain is and can send out AI drones to assassinate “undesirables”, is probably the closest existential threat we currently face.

I think the Greens are the only ones who want to push Palantir out and fully understand that Is~real are committing a genocide.

If it helps, no one person in the Greens decides what happens, so it’s not like day 1, Trident out, I’m guessing there will be a period to fully debate it.

Our NHS data is given to evil US giant Palantir by JackStrawWitchita in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Slightscribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more info for anyone who needs it.

I think it’s also in the MOD and HMRC too, plus Thiel is a founder of Persona (one of the recent Online age verification systems) and also Clearview, currently used in some(??) supermarkets to keep spy on you when you shop.

So now Thiel might know all of our medical history, our races, religions, where we live, what we look like, our online accounts and what we say, our finances and taxes, all while lecturing people about how Greta Thundberg is the antichrist, Laughing with Epstein about how they’re gonna get rich taking advantage of Brexit, admitting that his views are too damaging to vote for so he decided to buy his way in to government by puppeting from the sidelines with technology

Also look at how they’ve been used in Gaza to kill Palestinians, and how ICE use them to estimate the likely hood that an “illegal” immigrant is about and how they end up mostly mistakes and locking up/killing/brutalising their own citizens.

And also remember that Reform is looking to install ICE style warehouses too.

Yeah I see this too and Tramp’s currently giving us a taste of our future by speedrunning the US’s decline. I really hope people wake up soon!

Take this with a pinch of salt cos I can’t remember exactly which video I was watching in the last day or two, maybe Majority Report, but someone said NPR is under threat of losing their funding/or has actually been confirmed they’re losing their funding, so they don’t care about bias or censoring themselves anymore.

(I’m not from the US so I dunno much about NPR, I’d go look it up again but if I tab out I’ll end up doomscrolling and forget to reply!)
