"Modern day Britain—and this is the sinister part—has evolved norms more akin to authoritarian societies than democracies, where people don’t speak up, where there’s no effective political opposition, where scapegoating works, because the cheap thrill of hate is all that's left."

"Every other society I know of would be struck with horror and repulsion by the tales coming out of modern Britain, of old people left to die of cold and illness, of kids being neglected on a mass scale, of an economy simply being left to self-destruct like a supernova."

"Britain is a nation with a broken spirit. It’s people have been left numb and shattered by decades of disinformation, Big Lies — Brexit is going to save us billions, not cost us even more than that — which culminated in scapegoating. Along the way, truth stopped mattering."

"Britain is the world’s preeminent bellwether of social collapse at this point in history. The rest of the world is dusting itself off after a rough few years, and restarting the engines of progress. In Britain? Well, the engines of regress are pumping sewage into the rivers."

"America’s establishment is desperately trying to *stop* Biden. None of the major networks even carried his speech—precisely because they knew in advance what he was going to talk about. Think about that—not carrying a President’s most historic speech." eand.co/bidens-philly-

.: "He stood up and called on everyone—everyone, not just Americans, but everyone—to fight this global tide of darkness and lies, put their minor differences aside, and unite in the house of democracy once again, or else it would surely fall. This, he said, was our job."

"Biden issued not just a political call — but something much, much more vital: he issued a moral directive. He reminded us that each of us has a moral stake in this life, in the project of civilization, and those millions of moral stakes are what the house of democracy is."

"The American Establishment is deeply uncomfortable with what Biden’s doing. They are trying to stop him. The networks didn’t fail to cover his speech and the Times and Post barely mention it — in some kind of coincidence. It’s how power works."

"Some speeches are just speeches. The tedium of democratic bureaucracy — new policies, updates, like Zoom meetings for a society. And then there are *speeches.* Ones which change history, because they remind people of it, where they stand in it, and how it’s made — or unmade."

I’m here for optimistic Umair! I agree, Biden’s speech was a historic turning point. He’s preparing the country for Trump indictment

This tweet was so painfully dumb, so transparently idiotic, that even my European friends at the dog park were roasting this idiot today. This dude is literally a worldwide laughingstock

There’s nothing unusual or wrong with a President delivering a political speech — it’s inherent in the job description — but doing it against a backdrop of two Marines standing at attention and the Marine Band is a break with White House traditions.

The speech @POTUS gave last night is one of the most important I've seen a president give. We must name the threat our democracy faces–including a MAGA faction that incites violent insurrections and rejects the rule of law—in order to overcome it together.

Donald Trump claims he’s providing financial support to the insurrectionists AND pledges to pardon them if he’s elected president. There’s a legal term for that: “giving aid and comfort” to the insurrectionists.

Yup. This is how societies change. It’ll take time. It’s not an overnight thing. But that really was a pivotal moment and it will take years for it’s effects to really be understood. After such moments there’s rarely going back

Wow you are very positive about this. You have been quite foreboding for years. I hope you are right. I hope it makes a difference.

It’ll be a fight. But now it’s not one they can really win. Call a bully a bully, stand up to them, and the game’s over. The spell is broken and there’s no going back. Yes, ups and downs will happen. But the odds are now very much on our side

God I hope you’re right but I feel like it’s going to be a long debilitating fight with many wins and losses where the outcome is still unknown.

That takes time. And real psychological growth. First we loosen the spiritual and social shackles of fascism and then these changes become possible. One step at a time.

It’s the end of the beginning at best, I fear. And there’s is no way around the discourse we need to have about how to re-calibrate democracy, reigning in capitalism, and take the planetary challenges we are facing head-on.

The one two punch of the justice department putting these fools behind bars and a grass roots movement led by a president speaking out forcefully and plainly against fascism globally? KO. The game’s over, they just don’t know it yet.

You can take that to the bank. Pundits won’t get it for years but that speech will change the world. This is what the fight against fascism needed for a decade or so at this point. Forget those idiots and celebrate it because yes it’s that big and meaningful

What you saw last night was the beginning of the end of this wave of fascism. It is not just a Big Deal for an American president to orient the world back to democracy, as a duty and a responsibility, it’s historic.

They hate being called fascists and extremists because fascism and extremism depend on falsifying reality. The entire idea is to paint yourself as the victim in order to then justify your subjugation of those with less power. When lies are power, truth is the antidote.
