The tory dirty tricks with twitter, is not just an issue of fake news, it also undermines the concept of full facts, which is very serious in itself as more and more with social media it will need independent verification, if the public can't trust F/F what can it trust?

Political advertising should come under Advertising Standards and be required to be correct.

Why do commercial advertisers get held to the truth but political parties escape such a test?

Because politicians make the laws

Tbf , the Tories proper fucked up on this , their Social Media advisors thought they understood Twitter and the backlash proves they don't.

So - Corbyn's Labour is pressuring the Tories to edge their manifesto ever so slightly leftwards, and Johnson's Conservatives are edging anarchists towards the ballot box.

Might as well give Labour the trophy now.

I don't think you've even managed to persuade one person to get a lock for their toilet, so you're somewhere below the vauxhall conference of influencers

I'm having a great Alan Moore week so far.



That's from 2016 but got dug up by some publication this week. Nails it IMO.

Is he a Dr?

 

[The39thStep]

Was. Tbf he’s about the only anarchist I’ve met in real life.

 

[The39thStep]

Is he a Dr?

Yup.

 

[The39thStep]

how did he do this?

To be fair it’s a complex formula of Brexit , an analysis of Labour being a coalition of w/class/ Islamacists/ identity politics and classic liberal tendencies in anarchism . Me I’d build something new but he thinks it’s gone past that stage .

he's probably the most important comic writer of the past 50 years - Wrote Watchmen and V for Vendetta among other seminal works.

It fits with the general tendency on urban, very visible at present, of a gradual drift from anarchism towards conservatism as people get older. It's just like the rest of society, but with more pretentious justifications.
