For those that don't know, this is the former Chief Scientist at the UK AI Security Institute. Before that, he worked at Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Google Brain.
@AtomF11@Skeleman71 The problem is that you can't be trusted not to do it again every other election, because MAGA isnt going away, its completely taken over the base of one of your two parties
@Soppalot@SenatorLuma They might not view it as the top issue but it is absolutely going to be a bar that a candidate has to clear to be considered by a lot of primary voters
@TankTheThird@CogitoEdu Americans almost never even make that distinction themselves, how many say Palestinians deserve what's happening because of Hamas? Your sanctions alone cause civilian suffering specifically to undermine governments you dont like and they have lead to millions of deaths
@MtLemonLookout@DrewSav@StatisticUrban It's simplistic to dismiss the slide of the US towards fascism as "bad choices" and ignore the fact that the movement behind it is locked into your politics. "China bad" is just deflection, even if you manage to elect a Dem it'll be right back to MAGA afterwards with Rubio/Vance.
@MtLemonLookout@DrewSav@StatisticUrban The world still remembers and the actions of this admin have made it worse. Tariffs, annexation threats, causing an energy crisis, supporting a genocide, disappearing people into camps. We can't trust people who will vote for this movement every other election.
@MtLemonLookout@DrewSav@StatisticUrban The hate towards the US for those wars by Bush didn't just go away when you elected Obama and the wars didn't end either though. And now you act like you want vassals instead of allies. Most of your allies now view China more favourably than the US. Who is going to repair that?
@MtLemonLookout@DrewSav@StatisticUrban This isn't just some blip, far-right nationalism has completely captured one of your two parties. The Republican base is going to keep voting for it and you'll elect them at least semi-regularly if not more often. You're not trustworthy allies while that movement holds any power.
@Sandrogenic@YourPalAshtro @restsinagony This doesnt excuse the far greater number that were smuggled to Argentina through the ratlines, including people like fucking Mengele who they explicitly protected from "political persecution"
Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.
Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.
On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.
And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.
But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.
History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

@SuperFa50629144@paulmasonnews@AyoCaesar Maybe we're just not understanding how attacking the welfare state, quoting Enoch Powell and supporting a genocide advance class struggle from a Marxist viewpoint like Paul

@JoshuaYJackson If you don't think KS will advance the class struggle you're possibly not understanding social democracy correctly from a Marxist viewpoint
Yes. Nor does the UK. Otherwise Scotland wouldn’t have been able to have an independence referendum to break up the UK. Borders and governments and governing regimes change all the time.
People have a right to exist, not states.
@b0n0myt1res@nocontextEFC Everyone had known about Mandleson's epstein ties for ages by the time of his appointment. Doesnt say much about the competence of Starmer that he didn't see this coming
