"We’re all dying all of the time" - Tilda Swinton, unprompted, 2024

[Clash Report @clashreport]

French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:

Gross domestic product. I dig a hole, GDP goes up. I fill it in, GDP goes up.

I get into my car, drive into a wall, GDP goes up because we have to rebuild the wall and repair the car.

GDP is just a monetary valuation.

The unspoken thing here is that the jaw drop is not actually due to the scale of the dust plume but specifically because it is happening in New York. The same video taken in Beirut or Tehran would never get the same reaction from the viewer.

Zack Polanski, "When I studied history at school. Tudors, Romans, a bit of WWII. I don't remember talking about empire or colonisation"

Historian William Dalrymple, "It is possible to do at A'Levels modules on the British empire, but very few people do them"

"Which means most British people are entirely ignorant for what is for better or worse the most important thing Britain ever did"

"Britain drew it's empire, completely changed the face of the world over the course of 300-400 years"

"Not only did they change it within a local European context, but they completely upended flows of global trade and eco-systems which had existed for millinia"

"For most of history, India and China dominated the world economy, and Europe was an add-on"

"They were producing about 70% of the world's GDP, that's still the case in the 18th century"

"When we're looking at the world today, China already the world's number two economy, and India about to be number three overtaking Japan and Germany"

"What we're seeing is a reversal of the trading system to a pr colonial period - it's taken 80 years since the British left India"

"We're seeing the world recover form this brief blip where Europe smashed its way around the globe moving populations and natural resources around, looting some places, bringing wealth to Europe"

"If you look at the big National Trust country houses, if it's a big palladian house, the sort you'd see in a Jane Austin Sunday night drama"

"If it's on the east coast of the country, quite probably it was built by the East India company money, in other words the looting of India"

"If it's on the west coast, near Liverpool or Bristol, it's more likely to be slave money, from the Caribbean"

"These two sources of wealth brought capital into Britain, and cotton into Britain, which was then milled in the industrial revolution, which gave the seed capital for Britain to accelerate massively through the industrial revolution"

"Which catapulted England from an upper middle position in Europe"

"It transforms Britain and the world"

"But what gives us great prosperity often detracted from the prosperity of the looted countries, or countries that have been plundered for enslaved people"

"And it remains a strange quirk of our history system that we learn more about the wives of Henry VIII, than we do about the entirely looting of India, or the Caribbean slave trade"

"Two crucial moments in Britain's and the world's history"

"The reason we don't learn it, is because when the British empire ended, it became something people stopped talking about"

"By the time you get to Monty Python in the 1970s or late 60s, the Empire is a joke"

Highly recommend reading.

The state of Israel subverted democracy in Britain.

They secretly took down a man they could not buy off and replaced him with a ma subservient to them.

And both British society and Palestinians are paying a huge price.

Apartheid ended because it was no longer economically viable and sustainable. Not because white people saw it as immoral and had a sudden change of heart.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Natasha Devon, "I hear this accusation all the time, that anti racism groups don't do enough to include Jewish people"

"I just want to try and pour some clarity on that if I can"

"When the appalling stabbing happened, Keir Starmer called a COBR meeting. He brought together some leading thinkers to ask what more could be done to tackle antisemitism. The Met police called for more funding to protect Jewish communities. The media gave it pretty much its undiverted attention for days"

"That is the correct response"

"That response did not happen when a Muslim woman was targeted by a hit and run"

"When a Sikh woman was sexually assaulted by a racist who thought she was Muslim"

"Or when 50 mosques were targeted between Juen and October 2025"

"We don't see the same response"

"Antiracism campaigners are looking at where they are needed"

"When these appalling attacks happen to the Jewish communities we have the correct response"

"When it happens to other communities: women, LGBT, black people, Muslims, not the same urgency is applied"

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

There was 3 counts of attempted murder.

They ignore this and falsely report 2.

Why?

Because the third person was Muslim and that doesn't fit the script.

Dystopian stuff.

[Paweł Wargan @pawelwargan]

Hitler aimed to do to the east what the US had done to the ‘wild west’: Exterminate its people and seize their land for settlement. 27 million Soviet citizens were killed in this crusade — some in the very same camps in which the Germans massacred Jews. The war of extermination against ‘Bolshevism’ was repeatedly and explicitly named as the principal driver of German imperial foreign policy under Hitler. The denial of this genocide and the Red Army’s singular role in defeating Nazism has been a central instrument of historical revisionism in the hands of the West for over half a century. It has allowed imperialism to wash its hands of its colonial crimes, while preserving its core white supremacist foundation.

This is the correct view to hold on China

[SweetIrishGhirl @Newrygal1]

So the 'protests' is for the government to take notice. A TD heads down to support them and hes chased!!! They have just fucked the 'we are doing this for everyone's line because if it were solely about fuel costs they would have welcomed a TDs support regardless of other views

Make no mistake that some military historian is gonna steal this entire post and publish it in the future as their own lol

What a sharp analysis of Sinwar's plan and determination though!
