Spineless article.

If he implements tariffs, food bills will be higher.

Let’s call it the Rule of Law Party. One law for all of us. An end to elite impunity.

Or there needs to be an anti-establishment party, since the Democrats can never be one.

Dictatorship of the scum of the earth.

Never mind that it’s a crime against humanity, complain about the price. The American way.

So how do we stop it?

Leave your phone at home. Ride a bike or walk, don’t drive (defeats giar recognition, ANPR and in-car tracker software). ANPR cameras can also be disabled with black spray paint. Wear a hoodie. Use a VPN and an adblocker when you are online. Practice skeet shooting so you can shoot down drones. Also jam them if you can.

An ankle weight is less damaging. I doubt if gait recognition is all that valid anyway.

That depends on us.

Opposition to fascism isn’t going to come from the Democrats. We’ll have to organize from the ground up.

The time to start the underground railway is now.

If primaries are closed, the parties should pay their full cost.

So, about as worthwhile as a coin flip.

Worse, it’s a bit thin on content. Much more detail on the different modes of non-submission would be helpful: malicious compliance, outright refusal when it’s safe, dissimulation, foot-dragging, minor acts of interference, disinformation, leaking, flash crowds, graffiti, propaganda of the act, etc, etc. Though this is another topic, it would also be helpful to provide guidance on protecting yourself from pervasive, intrusive surveillance, since they’re going to try to use it against us this time, and our chances of seeing due process after that are close to nil.

Should have learned that lesson: first, come for the Nazis.

There’s an ethical obligation not to let yourself be a rube. They failed in that.

the paper’s ostensibly liberal/progressive line

They’re aligned with the Liberal party, which is a centrist party which is seldom if ever progressive. The Guardian does put up some articles by progressives, on occasion, but they also publish articles by conservatives. When the Labour Party was led by Corbyn, the Guardian was consistently critical of Labour policy and bought into the rightwing press’s phony accusations that Corbyn was antisemitic. Overall, the Guardian’s core politics are those of the metropolitan bourgeoisie, as can also be seen by their lifestyle and media commentary, as well as their general smugness. And on economic matters, their coverage is utterly useless. On that, the Economist and the FT are far superior, despite their occasionally odious politics in their editorial pages.

I still read the Graun, though, since the rest of the British press is far, far worse.

A couple of years late, but OK.

You didn’t get to choose your parents. And there’s no reason to force anyone to continue associating with toxic shitheads with no capacity for critical thought.

Write them off.

And if they need care in later life, put them in the shittiest home you can find.
