National Labour Party now threatening their own Sheffield Labour Party!
They really are losing the plot. I hope Sheffield Labour stand with their residents rather than the Labour party machine that's arming a genocide.

kinda reminds me of how if you think about it for more than two seconds you realize that the entire economic system we live in was built around slavery and has been scrambling for slavery-replacement for like 150 years

Let's be clear: the Democrat tsunami is an overwhelming vote against the Iran war, against support for Israel - it's done. The Greens are at the forefront of history. As anti-Zionists, this is the time to press on, campaign harder, and keep saying it: Zionism is racism. No one can be politically secure supporting Israel. It's done.

🚨British strategic hot take incoming🚨
“Being anti-Israel is strategic in America, where I have no influence, but unstrategic in Britain, where I do.”

This is the reddest of red flags. So many young people are flocking to the Greens because the other parties offer neoliberalism (or fascism) and they've been screwed over by neoliberalism their whole lives. Othering them by calling them the "hard left" is disgusting.

Somewhat worse than hypocrisy, a zealous Atlanticist caste psychologically incapable of recognising the US as the principal warmaking power of the past 80 years which has, over the course of decades, captured the heights of political and news-media across the continent.
Please note the framing: “Russia’s war in Ukraine” is not followed by “the US-Israeli war in Iran” but by “crisis in the Middle East”. This, ladies and gentlemen of the Collective West, is why no thinking person outside and inside your little “garden” takes you guys seriously anymore. Your hypocrisy is now 100% transparent. You frauds.

"I don't understand why they're pushing AI so hard when we can all see it's making everything worse."
That's because it's not being marketed to you; it's being marketed to governments and plutocrats. They're the real target audience for these products, not you.
You are not receiving the real sales pitch for AI, because the real sales pitch would not appeal to your sensibilities. The real sales pitch for AI isn't "Hey check out this product, it makes some web searches slightly easier and it can maybe write your emails for you." The real sales pitch for AI is "This product allows you to surveil the entire population of your country. It can be built into autonomous surveillance drones and killing machines. It can allow you to monitor and control every aspect of your society. It can reverse the decentralization of information brought on by the internet age. It can take away the collective bargaining power of workers and give you the skilled services your company requires. It can nullify strikes, civil disobedience, and even full-scale revolutions, and lock humanity into your capitalist dystopia forever."
That's the real sales pitch. It doesn't sound appealing to any normal person, but it makes sense when you remember who these technologies are really being sold to, and why.

Sacha Baron Cohen: “my film flopped because everyone’s Hamas.”
No, literally.
Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G sequel lasted one weekend in theaters, and the Hollywood Reporter is blaming pro-Palestine activists, and discussing "Hamas-affiliated operatives.”
THR detailed a campaign by UK-based NewsCord, whose platform gave users AI-assisted templates to email cinemas; NewsCord says about 55,000 emails went out. THR then pointed to the group's support for Gaza aid flotilla participants, whose leaders the US Treasury designated "Hamas-affiliated operatives." NewsCord, which calls Ali G a form of blackface, accused THR of drawing "conspiratorial links."
Amazon MGM opened the film on just 23 screens, withheld box office figures, and moved it to Prime Video five days later, per World of Reel.

It has started.
The revenue was never there.
They're having to force AI down our throats, and most of us still don't want it.
It isn't intelligence, it's the biggest theft of intellectual property in history.
🚨 Massive CRASH in AI Stocks in the Last 48 Hours
$INTC: -32.9%
$GOOGL: -14.5%
$AMZN: -10%
$SNDK: -15.8%
This comes after disappointing earnings from major tech companies raised fresh concerns about AI spending and future growth.
Intel: Its Q4 revenue guidance came in roughly $1.1 billion below investor expectations, triggering a massive selloff.
$150 BILLION of its market cap has been wiped out, its largest single day decline in over 40 years.
Google: Reported 25% yearly revenue growth, but its free cash flow turned negative by $9.1 billion against expectations of a breakeven.
Nearly $500 BILLION was wiped out from its market value in a single day, one of its biggest one day declines in history.
Amazon: AWS revenue grew 39%, its fastest growth in nearly 5 years. But the company plans to spend $220 billion in capital expenditure this year, largely on AI infrastructure, with even higher spending expected in 2027.
Its annual free cash flow swung from positive $14.8 billion to negative $42.4 billion in just 12 months causing more pressure.
SanDisk: Even after beating earnings expectations with 378% yearly revenue growth, investors remained cautious as its quarterly revenue growth slowed from 51% to 23%.
Investors are increasingly worried that Big Tech is spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure without generating enough cash to justify it.
These concerns are now spreading across the semiconductor sector.
"There's a limited supply of drinking water and it's very inefficient for people to simply piss that supply away when we could maximise it's utilisation as data centre coolant. It's actually quite terrible to have people urinating everywhere. Data centres keep things clean."
Sam Altman says its bad that everyone's personal computers are using the world's limited supply of memory chips.
"It’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAMs sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization."

Ending neoliberalism is saying “let’s end neoliberalism” while continuing to impose it.
Ending the genocide is saying “Palestine protesters were right” while continuing to arrest them and arm a genocide.
Anyone falling for this is either paid or a chump.

this is some Paul Mason pipeline shit
@AyoCaesar, the 'master strategist' - despite having no record of successful strategic nous and simply being an unemployed grad that joined a conman's glorified MSM grad scheme - gives a word salad of contradictions and nonsense about strategy - and can't let it go that ZIR won.

Tom Watson spent years sabotaging Labour as deputy leader, then stepped away from politics, joined a gambling firm, apparently decided it wasn't evil enough for him and went to work for Palantir. Utterly vile.

I’m old enough to remember 48 hours ago on Politics Live when the media and political class were incandescent about a non-Jewish person explaining antisemitism to a Jewish person.
Any minute now they’ll condemn Michael Gove’s vile comments towards Zack Polanski. Any minute now.
from @declassifiedUK. Here is an angry non Jewish Micheal Gove claiming he knows more about antisemitism than @ZackPolanski the only Jewish party leader.
