Many #American #Conservatives might like to critique the #UK as being too #Socialist, many of those critiques may be valid, however, the #USA is not a #Capitalist economic system any more than the UK is, with the #GDP of both nations being comprised of around 40% #government spending.
The USA has been for decades a mixed Capitalist/Socialist economic system. What's most sad about both the UK and #US is that the kind of #Socialism being deployed is actually #corporate Socialism, wherein #taxes are forcibly redistributed to #corporations and the most wealthy. The worst aspects of both systems.

So, no #Cronyism there then. [Sarc.]
..."If #conservatives put all of our #political eggs in the coming months, blaming most of our country’s problems on Joe #Biden, including #inflation, out-of-control spending, an invasion of illegal aliens through our southern border, war on police leading to more crime and murder in big cities, war on fossil fuel, war on Catholics, war on Evangelicals, etc., etc.— we’ll be at a loss on August 19th when the #Democrat National Convention opens in Chicago and President Biden goes to the camera and microphones and announces he is not running again.
However, he’s going to endorse his dear friend #MichelleObama to be the Democrat #nominee for #President of the United States. The convention hall will go wild applauding, screaming, and yelling for Michelle, and all of our attacks against President Biden will be worth little in the next 77 days."...

Maybe #Women Won’t Date You Because You’re Awful
The #Federalist says Trump is president because women won’t date #conservatives. But I thought we were all fat, lesbian, abortion-loving sluts?
Erin Gloria Ryan
..."The Federalist piece also presents a confusing portrait of the sort of woman these conservative men are angry will not date them. As a left-leaning woman, I’ve read a lot about how my type are fat unattractive lesbian sluts who are, despite their lesbianism and unattractiveness to men, frequently getting pregnant via having sex with men, and then having abortions. I’ve even seen articles to this published on The Federalist! We’re allegedly terrible. Why would any respectable real tough American-style guy want to date us? Why would our not dating the people who think we are fat unattractive lesbian abortion sluts make any difference to those people? I thought we were disgusting?
The entire piece is tiresome, for the reasons that other iterations of the same idea are tiresome. But it merits comment today because I’d like to offer a helpful theoretical answer for the question its headline poses:
Maybe women won’t date you because you’re awful.
Women refusing to date Trump-supporting men isn’t what caused those men to react and turn to Trump for solace. That women won’t date them is a symptom of their awfulness, like voting for Trump is, among certain populations, a symptom of a specific sort of awfulness.
Heterosexual women might be turned off by a man’s politics, by their philosophy, by their musical taste, by their affinity for talking about gadgets, the most boring thing in the world to talk about. But if the man in question is a nice enough person, if he takes care of himself and treats others with genuine respect, somebody will probably date him. The world is full of lonely people who will let things slide in the name of companionship.
If nobody likes you, the problem is you."

I guess the exposure was too much!
Wisconsin school-board president who backtracked on canceling free school lunch says it opened his eyes: 'I eat every meal every day. I cannot relate to being hungry.'
https://www.businessinsider.com/waukesha-wisconsin-school-district-opts-back-in-to-free-lunch-2021-9
- Waukesha was the only school district in Wisconsin to opt out of Biden's free-lunch program.
- This week it opted back in, as board members said they were unaware of the hunger in their district.
- But it was a 5-4 vote, and some members likened free lunch to mask mandates.

It sometimes baffles me how the global ruling class, whose core is tiny, manages to hold 99.9% of humankind under its domination.
The criminocrats use every weapon in the book to achieve this, from propaganda to police violence, from bribery to blackmail, from dishonesty to debt.
But one of their main ways of keeping us under control is to split us up into competing sects and camps so that we spend our lives attacking each other rather than focusing on our real enemies, the people at the top of the global pyramid of power.
The leading lights of political, social and religious organisations have all been corrupted and so large numbers of their followers are also corrupted, albeit indirectly and provisionally.
But many people in these various currents are there out of honest conviction.
Their hearts are pure.
They are the uncorrupted.
A long article, and of course there are points I or you will disagree with, but the article is worth reading and considering.
Conspiracy theories and disinformation mar UK local election
Conspiratorial narratives and rampant misinformation were used to influence the result of a recent local election in the United Kingdom, Euronews has learnt.
Ahead of the Uxbridge and South Ruislip byelection in July - which saw the Conservatives narrowly beat the opposition Labour Party by some 500 votes - there was a dramatic increase in false claims and conspiracy theories around ULEZ, a controversial environmental policy.

#Tories could use #Ulez discontent to save marginal outer #London seats, MPs claim | #Conservatives | The Guardian
Typical of them (a) to do something expedient to gain political advantage and (b) use the worst parts of populism to further their political ambitions in a way that harms the poorest most.
Since we have an aggressive politics party ruthlessly taking control, we may want to look what happens in other countries and what they give up, like Wikipedia and basic facial information

‘Slavery was wrong’ and 5 other things some educators won’t teach anymore
In the following, Greg Wickenkamp is an eighth-grade social studies teacher, and Noll is Superintendent Laurie Noll. This was Iowa.
She continued: “To say ‘Is slavery wrong?’ — I really need to delve into it to see is that part of what we can or cannot say. And I don’t know that, Greg, because I just don’t have that. So I need to know more on that side.”\
\
As Wickenkamp raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, she added, “I’m sorry, on that part.”\
\
Wickenkamp left the Zoom call. At the close of the year, he left the teaching profession.\
\
Contacted for comment, Noll wrote in a statement that “the district provided support to Greg with content through a neighboring school district social studies department head.” She did not answer a question asking whether she thinks teachers should be permitted to tell children that slavery was wrong.

White supremacists behind over 80% of extremism-related U.S. murders in 2022
Of course they were. All Americans know the most dangerous terrorists are conservative Americans.
The only question is why we put up with it. And the answer, unfortunately, is that money is always bound up with fascism.
