One of my friends wrote this about big tech’s contempt for everyone else, an eloquent critique in my opinion

“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening. I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.”

Milton Friedman, organize the neoliberialism, which is the destruction of the west, the "huge plundering" as I used to call it. He won the nobel instead of a good shiny guillotine :P
I’ve been reading “Hayek’s Bastards”. What shocked me is how racist they are. All the so-called “race realism” has roots in neoliberalism too.
Sooooo... we realised at the weekend that the blog Moira originally wrote about Althea Gibson for is offline.
Luckily, we kept a copy on file, so today we have a NEW blogpost with a revised and updated version.
Yesterday Dutch parliament shamefully passed an extreme law criminalizing being undocumented, and also criminalizing aiding undocumented people. The Dutch national police has now released a statement that they can't support this. Most appreciated. https://www.politie.nl/nieuws/2025/juli/4/00-reactie-politie-op-instemming-tweede-kamer-met-anmw.html
@ChrisMayLA6 He’s indefensible, because he and the party flat out lied to everyone. Voted for in slim numbers because a great many people already saw through Starmer, and those that did now feel very betrayed. His articles in media like The Sun, his recent Enoch Powell speech, his reversal of all environmental policies, the parties acceptance of millions in ‘donations’ is sickening. As for his complete betrayal of human rights - that really is the bridge too far. Whether he’s cancelling the very existence of trans people, or pronouncing peaceful action as terrorism - it’s the opposite of everything Labour ever stood for. That’s before we even look at taking money from pensioners, keeping families in a two-child cap, and being unimaginably cruel to those disabled and to carers.
And then there’s his alignment with Donald Trump and understanding his ‘family values’. Starmer makes me sick and very angry.
