Ben Judah @b_judah Follow The shift from an industrial society with mass parties whose culture was based around books to an internet society with fandoms based around content is the mega trend of our times. It ticks through political fandoms going viral, only to pop, without the slow thinking, slowly buildup party formation to be able to truly reform or govern. This isn't, of course, the only thing behind the bubble politics of recent years — Corbyn, Brexit, Boris, Farage, Greens — but it is an important and little recognised background. Politics beats like the internet. And now Polanski has gone viral.
The Spectator @spectator X.com Those school children and students of ten years ago, with their highly moralistic, Manichean politics and otherworldly theories on gender and race, are now the voters of today. They are also our first post-literate generation, a demographic which doesn't read newspapers, which doesn't read books willingly, who instead get their politics on their smartphones from emotive TikTok videos devoid of nuance, depth and context. This is the demographic with a reduced attention span that doesn't even listen to radio bulletins or watch the news from reputed broadcasting organisations. & Patrick West
Luke Tryl • @LukeTryl • 3h X We're obviously used to it by now, but the speed and acceleration of the collapse of the two party system remains striking. In our latest poll the two main parties received just 37% support between them. The combined vote share of the two main parties has fallen to just 37 per cent
I see that “we’ve become a post-literate society” in the first two images here is now the explanation for the absolutely comical polling nosedive in the third one. How about this instead: “Your leaders tried to prop up an obviously broken system, and clowns like these two helped them”?
it says it here. but i also did not hear about the second or third www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...
Israel and the US are literally the biggest sources of child murder in the world.
US and Israeli missiles have just hit a 4th school in Tehran.
This is an intentional massacre of children
I wrote about the war on Iran, the racist colonial narratives that suffuse it, the rank obscenity and stupidity of it all but especially that of the Australian government’s response so far. sakr.substack.com/p/albanese-t...

Hey @axios.com, any remorse about hiring an I.O.F. intelligence officer to poop out 25 articles about Biden’s supposed frustration with Netanyahu over the first 13 months of the U.S.-backed Zionist genocide?

I was, shall we say, “slightly resistant” to receiving help after this money was stolen from me, but I’ve been sufficiently cowed by friends privately chewing me out for shame and pride. Dylan has kindly offered to do this for me, and many others have wanted to help directly. Options in replies.

The epitome of EVIL. "Former" CIA Democrat.
As a former CIA officer who served three tours in Iraq. I have no love lost for the Iranian government. They're a state sponsor of terror, responsible for the deaths of Americans. I saw it up close in lraq and elsewhere."

My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.

These same people are *also* using chatbots as therapists, giving sycophantic retroactive justifications for their actions, further meddling with their memories.
Their past becomes, in a real way, a shifting surreal dream-scape as incoherent as the slop they consume.
What's funny is that we know from generations of experiments that human memory is ridiculously, cartoonishly malleable.
People manipulating their pictures like this are literally fucking with their memories. They will remember that event differently, because of the meddling afterwards.
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

“This is why we can’t have nice things” & Glonzo & treatlerite jokes blame an imagined supermajority of backwards Americans for impeding social progress. The purpose of these jokes is to scapegoat abused and exploited people for the predations of their abusers
We murdered 170 people, mostly children, in an elementary school bombing, and our partner, an apartheid state that is committing genocide against a captive people, is now forcing hundreds of thousands to leave the Dahiyeh suburb of Lebanon. But the truly mad thing is how this will affect gas prices
So many “misfired Hamas rockets”

It is wild that European countries want to join a war that was started illegally by and for a man who is wanted for war crimes and genocide by their *own* institutions.
Just heard the clip of AOC waffling about Iran. The most common demsoc L is fucking up foreign policy
