Given the disastrous state of our world and the terrible existential threats now looming over it, it is more urgent than ever to seek out and discover the forces capable not only of (re)instilling the hope that is so sorely lacking among the peoples of the world, but also—and above all—of serving as an inspiration and a guiding light for their struggles. And take note: we must discover them not after the fact—in 10, 30, or 50 years—but now, in time, before the foretold catastrophe is upon us.

      To be fair. The mainstream articles on the internet have been trash long before AI. Now I just have a legitimate reason to not read them.

    It’s…. not that radical Mamdani is slightly left of centre. This is a good shift and a good contrast in ‘Mercian politics, but is only the first step on a true radical left path

      He’s radically left for America. You can’t measure him by a scale that includes lands 75% of the population couldn’t find on a map.

      It’s like we’re all moving through space at about a half a million miles per hour, but it still seems slow when someone is driving 5mph under the speed limit in the fast lane with their blinker on. It’s relative.

      But that’s okay. We could use a bit of radical left.

    imho the Left’s biggest problem is that we keep grabbing slogans and ideas that are easily turned against us.

    “Black Lives Matter” got turned into 'All Lives Matter." Now, instead of arguing aginst police brutality, we’re arguing over the words.

    Same thing with “Pro Abortion” and “Climate Change.”

    Most radical thing we could do is start calling ourselves “Eisenhower Republicans” and embrace the 1965 GOP Party platform.
