The US president's historic second state visit has begun - with him telling journalists upon arrival "everyone's looking forward to it". But not everyone greeted him warmly.
It’s odd because the ”slide” is overseen by the political alternative to the outright Trumpian fascism, voted in on a mandate of indifference to do maintenance on an economy in inescapable decline. Just wait until Farage takes power after the next general election.
Labour were voted in on a mandate of “change” specifically. Literally, their one word slogan used during campaigning. Now, obviously they’re the single transferable party, so nothing was actually going to change, but I do want to make sure no-one forgets that was their one promise.
In capitalist electoralism, all “sides” are subsumed by the needs of capital. Imperialism and neo-colonialism have stripped the last bit of fat from the corpse of the global south, and now the psychopaths turn their gaze homeward and begin to cannibalize their own. Our only hope is to drop the fake divisions of left and right and organize together as the people against the parasitic ruling class.
But they do it with British understatement, that’s why nobody around the world notices it. It’s not as shrill, when people sipping tea say things like “Jolly, they invited our neighbours to the conci-tuffy-encampment. I reckon we won’t having them over for tea that soon. My, my!”
WTF? Sounds like some authoritarian thought crime BS straight from China, North Korea or Russia FFS (and more and more the US).
That’s the UK these days. They’re sliding into fascism almost as quickly as the US.
As they did in the 1930s before certain leopards ate certain faces.
