The right loves AI-generated imagery. In a short time, a full half of the political spectrum has collectively fallen for the glossy, disturbing visuals created by generative AI. Despite its proponents having little love, or talent, for any form of artistic expression, right wing visual culture once ranged from memorable election-year posters to ‘terrorwave’. Today it is slop, almost totally.

”USA will be the most dominant state ever, economically”, says Trump.

This reveals a few key thigs:
- MAGA is and always has been about dominance. It is absolutely central and will not budge for anything.
- They are only seeking subservience from their allies. There will be no win-win deals.

Nations will fair better taking their business elsewhere.

#TheAmericanFascist uttered this morning.

“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.”

The left wing social democratic forces of the world (including the #Liberals and #NDP in Canada) have been so neutered and brow beaten into incrementalism and neo-Liberal corporate capture, that a right wing, billionaire-wannabe, near-Nazi fascist, and politicians who want to be like him (Pierre Poillievre) have stolen the rallying cries of working men and women (but mostly men).

These were the warnings working people and socialist forces screamed when Free Trade and privatization was born by Reagan and Mulroney, Thatcher and Chirac. The de-unionization of western economies, the decimation of public infrastructure for private “partnerships”…

Now here we are, it all got so bad that the regular person, struggling to put inflated food on the table, or put their children through inflated college, are so fed up that they submit to the regressive, racist, anti-human, bloviations of populist tyrants.

A pox on you, “Liberals” and “Democrats” of the world.

You chose corporations while you placated people with false promises and false hopes.

You enabled the worst of the human condition through complacency and greed.

Your limp, unconvincing defence of Liberalism and Democratic values destroyed both.

What will you do to win back the podium to speak for working people? Perhaps you don’t deserve to.

**Populism and the Social History of British Anti-Slavery**

Ryan Hanley

“_In the United Kingdom, the abolition of the slave trade and slavery holds a special place in national identity narratives, largely thanks to over a century of celebratory historiography, from the mid-nineteenth century to about the mid-twentieth. While this “Whig tradition” has long since fallen from favor among historians, it enjoys an uncanny afterlife among a certain cross section of right-wing populists._”

Now, how about that?! At least one of the knife attacks in Germany appears to have been organized by Putin. It makes sense: Russia wants the AfD and other right wing parties to win, as they are anti-democracy Putin-lovers. Putin pays for terror attacks, and makes them look like Islam/migrant motivated crimes… makes sense.

With Kent County elections coming up I keep receiving hate mail through my letterbox. From two sources; some evil sounding bunch called 'The Conservatives' and an even more extreme lot lot called 'Reform UK'.

Surely there's somewhere I can report this?

Yoon is gone, and good riddance, but the right wing hordes behind him expanded and further radicalized. A strong majority of Koreans supported his ouster, but the minority behind him is by no means small nor is it going away. This is a good article explaining who's in that crowd and what they're up to.

The Echo Machine: How Right-Wing Extremism Created a Post-Truth America by David Pakman, 2025

If there is one thing the 2024 election cycle showed us, it’s how the right-wing has benefited and capitalized on disinformation and the polarization of US politics. Critical thinking and media literacy are on a rapid decline, and our republic is unable to agree upon a shared set of facts.

Progressives may bicker amongst friends, but no one gets the knives out like the rightwing. Why? Because when your ideology is based around selfishness, greed, and sociopathic behaviour, that shit don't discriminate.

"As Conservative infighting over how the campaign is handling U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats spills into the open, sources within the party are describing a "dysfunctional" campaign with too much centralized power and belittling and aggressive treatment of staff.

More than half a dozen Conservatives, who spoke to CBC News on the condition they not be named for fear of retribution, describe a campaign that is "highly disorganized" and "a mess." The sources include individuals both inside and outside the campaign."

Yes of course this a #revolution, Elon #Musk. A #rightwing #extremist #billionaire revolution.

And if your fucking task is to protect that revolution by keeping everyone calm & quiet with your fancy #AI tools & #propaganda, but instead the people are coming after YOU with a #TeslaTakedown - than YOU have failed.

Not the people of America that you didn't care about anyway - but your fucking billionaire friends.

Pathetic #loser.

Having antisemites at an "antisemitism event" says everything that needs to be said about the movement and about Israel.

“_Our findings reveal that while newer versions of ChatGPT consistently maintain values within the libertarian-left quadrant, there is a statistically significant rightward shift in political values over time, a phenomenon we term a ‘value shift’ in large language models._”
