The UK Election

As we approach the upcoming election in the UK, let’s examine our choices. Over the past 40 years, we’ve seen strong degrees of negative leadership: initially vile and evil, then evil and vile scum, and more recently, incompetent vile evil scum. It’s hard to imagine worse politicians.

In this next election, the Labour Party under Keir Starmer, who is a known lier, is likely to win. From a progressive perspective, we hope that he’s still lying and not truly as incompetent and vile as he appears. The best option in the current political landscape is to hold our noses and vote for these lies, optimistically believing that his dishonesty might work in favour of positive change.

This is the only viable path within the framework of mainstream politics right now. Let’s vote for lies is not the best rallying cry, we can’t keep doing this mess.

Update:

The blindness of fluffy and spiky liberals

The last 40 years of social and environmental mismanagement have brought us the onrushing disaster of #climatechaos and social break down. This situation highlights a troubling reality about society. On one side, we have the powerful and fundamental evil hard right anti #mainstreaming entities responsible for the harm. On the other side, there’s a small movement of left anti manstreaming activists pushing for urgent and necessary change. Caught in the middle are the mainstreaming majority, the “common sense” liberals, who by default align with the #mainstreaming evil forces that side with the hard right to resist this push for needed change. This alignment is a #blocking obstacle to addressing the root causes of our environmental and social crisis.

What I’ve been doing through the #OMN (Open Media Network) the last 20 years is to support the left and targeting these middle-ground liberals, aiming to grow their perspective and support towards meaningful change. It’s notable that #XR (Extinction Rebellion) has also taken the fluffy side of this approach in recent years. Currently, liberals represent a #blocking force. Overcoming their resistance is essential to addressing the challenges posed by dogmatic power and achieving the transformative change our we and the wider ecological planet so desperately needs.

It’s a desperate time for people have to work past their prat’ish “common sense” to compost this mess.

The liberals criticising the #deathcult are worth listening to https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-11/joseph-stiglitz-the-road-to-freedom-neoliberalism-fascism/104210670
