Similar to the likes of Owen Jones. They focus on the easy issues which they do a really good job with. But as soon as something comes along that threatens to disrupt the status quo then, by their deeds shall you know them.

Novara has publicly disgraced itself on multiple occasions. You can find plenty of dunkings of their credentials.

Ash friends with Zionists, Bastini heavily involved in the Corbyn character assassination.

Even from today.

Spread the good word. Everyone I tell is blown away and comes back to me later to thank me.

It's just really handy for correcting autocorrect typos.

The only time I see this term being used it when Trotskyists run out of road and have nothing else to say. Then they apply it incorrectly as a mindless slur. I don't see it applying to the Inside China Business guy. I don't know what you call him, a religious nut? A right winger?

I can't take anyone who uses this slur seriously.

A couple of things come to mind with this. Firstly, this reshoring has required a colossal subvention by the state. The money printer can currently go brr all day long, but if every reshoring that was needed required such intervention then this would not be feasible, especially considering the balancing act that's currently needed to counter inflation. Dedollarisation that's continuing apace further threatens this model. Already we have Trump recently threatening states that plan to trade in non-dollar currencies.

The reason for the deindustrialisation in the first place has not gone away. The inevitable march towards the export of finance capital being of primary importance to the imperialist state will continue. This seems to be a panicky flagship example. Root causes have not been addressed, and won't be.

But at the same time I do take your point that we're probably overstating the situation. I hope not by much.

And an anti-semite and homophobe?

Wasn't he also a rapist and colonial cop?

Anti-communist propaganda, history rewriting. Spreading double genocide theory...

Inspired by this.

I've been trying to remember a song for months now. It had a really well made animated video, probably sort of in the style of Cuphead. I seem to recall a cartoon wolf in it. The theme of the song was about this unspecified thing that was "gonna to make you go boom!" and stuff like that.

The video was the really memorable part, the song itself not so much, which makes it all the harder to google for. I think it was French.

"It's gonna make you... do x y z"... sorry I don't have much more.

 
 
 

Some speculation on the USA's intentions with its overly large force deployed to the ME.

tl;dr It's too big to be just for Hamas. Lebanon is too difficult, Hezbollah would demolish Israel. Iran too awkward...

But with Israeli bombing attacks on the airports of Aleppo and Damascus and its pre-war like warnings to its settlers, there seems to be good indications that Syria is again the target.

The neo-conservative lunatics in the White House may well think that they now have a chance to eliminate Russia's presence in the Middle East.

They will think of this as a revenge for their loss of the the war in Ukraine. They also believe that it will prevent, or compensate for, their geopolitical defeat in Gaza.
