Episode 1 of Between Extremes is live. Communist regimes killed 100 million people. More than Nazism. One ideology has its symbols banned. The other is on university reading lists. We are asking why. Neither extreme gets a pass youtube.com/watch?v=uhu9Mwvm…

A celebrity born in Britain, educated in Britain, given her career by British institutions, now living in America telling her birth country it is uniquely evil. The anti-colonial ideological framework that produces this conclusion — that western civilisation is the singular source of human suffering — is the postmodern successor to the Marxist oppressor and oppressed binary. Different categories. Identical structure. The west is always the villain. History that contradicts that conclusion is simply not permitted to exist.

Mao killed between 45 and 80 million people. A commentator praising Hitler to millions of followers would end their career instantly. Praising Mao gets you a Twitch deal. That asymmetry is not accidental.

True
Socialists under Stalin killed 20,000,000 people. Under Mao 65,000,000 The National Socialist Party was **Socialist** All told, socialists are responsible for 100,000,000+ deaths in the last century. Think about that. They will gladly take 100 million more if given the chance. Because they think they are justified. Socialism is the worst ideology ever conceived by man. It is a form of religious extremism where the god is envy and worship is cruelty, justified by greed. It has never "worked" and never will. When idiots like Hassan Piker espouse socialism, they should be humiliated ruthlessly and potentially criminally charged. Same with university professors. Never give it a single inch.

The ideology responsible for these numbers is still on university reading lists. Its symbols are still on university campuses. Its intellectual framework is debated seriously in mainstream political discourse in a way that Nazi ideology — with a significantly lower death toll — simply is not. Between Extremes exists to ask why. And to examine what happens when that same ideology mutates into new language and finds new institutions to capture. Episode 1 out now.

Perfectly stated. @MarkRuffalo is the worst kind of hypocritical champagne socialist whilst orgiastically stuffing himself at the table of capitalism.

Hey Mark, you're worth around $35 million while continuing to land major Hollywood roles. You could donate $25-30 million tomorrow and still live an extremely comfortable life for the rest of your days. At a conservative 4% safe withdrawal rate, even a remaining $5-10 million would generate roughly $200,000-$400,000 a year in passive income, several times what the average family earns. On top of that, you own multiple luxury properties, including a New York penthouse reportedly worth around $7 million, and you're still taking on film roles that pay millions. Lecturing others while sitting on tens of millions yourself is peak Hollywood... As for Elon, his charitable giving has far exceeded your entire net worth tenfold. And as for the idea that he can simply "solve world hunger" by writing one giant cheque only demonstrates your fundamental misunderstanding of how global hunger actually works. It's not a problem that disappears because one wealthy person transfers money into the system. You need a basic economics lesson and a mirror, because your hypocrisy is matched only by your lack of self-awareness.

Ruffalo worth $35 million. Wealth redistribution for thee not for me. Ruffalo is not a hypocrite. He is the archetype. The revolutionary class has always paid itself first. Soviet elite. Mao's inner circle. NYC council members voting themselves pay rises. Hollywood activists worth tens of millions demanding redistribution of everyone else's wealth. Different century. Same first move. Always.

Sorry, what? In the aftermath of Ann Widdecombe’s murder much of the establishment tried to have us believe there was a “far-right terror threat” against Muslims in Suffolk when, in fact, the police just admitted there was no such threat at all?

No far right terror threat existed. The establishment invented one. The same establishment that concealed the Southport killer's Prevent failures for months, that arrested people for Facebook posts while grooming gangs operated for decades, that proposed controlling YouTube's algorithm to boost state broadcasters. The asymmetry is not accidental. Real threats to the public are managed quietly. Fictional threats from the right are amplified loudly. That is not incompetence. That is policy.

Oh my lord. 🫪 A student went off the rails because a police officer used the “wrong pronouns.” Officer: “He’s having a breakdown.” Student: “SHE!!!!! SHE!!!!!! JUST SAY THE RIGHT PRONOUN!” (screaming like a lunatic) We have a serious mental health crisis in this country, and it’s only getting worse. Truly sad.

Genuinely sad. Because an ideology has convinced a young person that their entire psychological stability depends on strangers using specific words. That is fragility engineered by a belief system that told them their identity was under constant attack. The ideology that promised liberation produced this.

🚨NEW: Andy Burnham will increase international aid spending from the current 0.2% of GDP to 0.7% of GDP It will cost roughly +£16.5Bn [@Independent]
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No such policy announcement has been made. Labour MPs and NGOs are lobbying Burnham to restore 0.7% aid spending, but he has made no such commitment. UK aid is actually set to fall to 0.30% of GNI by 2027/28, its lowest in cash terms since 2012. devex.com/news/what-woul… aol.co.uk/articles/labou… commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…

🚨BREAKING: Andy Burnham is set to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling when he becomes Prime Minister on Monday, breaking Labour's 2024 manifesto on his first day
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Andy Burnham plans to accelerate exploration of existing North Sea oil and gas licenses rather than issue new ones, upholding Labour's 2024 manifesto commitment not to grant new licenses. bbc.com/news/articles/…

First day. North Sea oil. Breaking the manifesto. Good. The manifesto was wrong. 200,000 jobs. £25 billion to the economy. Energy security. Lower emissions than imported LNG. A politician prioritising the national interest over ideological purity on day one is not a betrayal. It is exactly what governing looks like. Polanski is furious. That is the clearest possible signal this is the right call.

If you're worried about our future - Andy Burnham is very clearly signalling nothing will change. But we can still turn this around with the Green Party getting even bigger. No new oil & gas so we can all have a liveable future. We need your help. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Polanski. No new oil and gas. 200,000 jobs gone. Energy imported from Russia, Qatar, and unstable regions instead of produced at home. Higher carbon emissions from imported LNG than domestic production. Energy bills up. Britain dependent on hostile states. This costs British workers their jobs and British families their energy security. For an ideology.

Socialists aren't hypocrites. They're just liars. They are wealthy, privileged, downwardly-mobile losers who resent their father for being successful. So, they aim to destroy successful people and successful societies because that success reminds them of their loserdom.
Popular far-left French politician Louis Boyard discreetly took off his Rolex worth $50,000 before giving an interview ‘denouncing the ultra-rich.’ Hypocrisy at its finest.

Boyard removes his £50,000 Rolex before denouncing the ultra-rich. The revolutionary class always pays itself first. Soviet elite. Mao's inner circle. NYC council members voting themselves pay rises. French politicians hiding Rolexes. Different countries. Different centuries. Same first move. The ideology was never about equality. It was always about power.

Deeply irresponsible? 200,000 jobs. £25 billion to the economy. Energy imported from volatile and hostile states replaced by domestic production with lower emissions than imported LNG. Polanski calls Burnham producing it at home deeply irresponsible. The ideology that would rather import than drill at home is not protecting the climate. It is protecting the narrative.

.@ZackPolanski: "We know if we taxed 1% on assets of £10m or 2% on assets of £1bn or more, we could be raising between £15-£24bn.. & just as importantly, we would stop the hoarding of assets. Its that hoarding of assets that's creating the inequality in this country" 🎯

Hoarding assets. That is what Polanski calls legally acquired wealth. Not earning. Not building. Not saving. Hoarding. The language matters. Once wealth is redefined as hoarding — as theft from the collective — the moral case for taking it becomes straightforward. Marx made the same argument. Every government that followed it discovered there was never enough to take. The wealth always ran out before the ideology did.

The Government has just given the green light to hand Pakistan £153million in aid. A Restore Britain Government will end all immigration from Pakistan, deport countless Pakistani rapists, criminals and freeloaders, scrap all foreign aid and label Pakistan as a rogue state.

£153 million in foreign aid to Pakistan. The same government that cut winter fuel allowance for British pensioners, has NHS waiting lists at record highs, and cannot fund social housing for British families. The question of whether foreign aid to a nuclear armed state with its own space programme is the right priority for a government with no money is not Islamophobia. It is common sense.

The resurgence of political terrorism from the far left is not a surprise to anyone studying the historical pattern. Every revolutionary movement that pursues institutional capture eventually produces a faction that decides the institutions are moving too slowly. The DSA member says take America down from within. The next step has always been the same. Rubio is right to take this seriously. History is unambiguous about where ideological certainty combined with political violence leads.

This is a shocker. A mother of three from Gaza who came to the UK as a refugee has just won a human rights challenge to bring in 18, yes18, of her relatives - both parents, a brother, his wife and four children, a sister and her four children and another sister, her husband and their three children. None of them speak English and the mother only has room to house her parents with the rest taking up social housing away from British families. Not to mention the the cost of the 18 filling our schools and NHS clinics. Plus the signal it gives tens of thousands of Palestinian families that the UK courts are an easy touch and they should head here. Another bloody awful and costly decision by our courts. Labour won’t do anything about it as they look on the people as Labour voters of the future.

Human rights law designed to protect the persecuted being used to circumvent immigration policy entirely. The law was not designed for this. It has been stretched by activist legal interpretation until it means something its authors never intended. That is not justice. It is judicial capture. And somebody always pays for it. In this case — British families on social housing waiting lists.

I miss the days when democrat leaders were simply saying "well it depends what your definition of 'is' is." Now, these communists who've hijacked the democrat party have moved it up to, "well it depends what your definition of 'rape' is". Yikes.

The ideology that redefines woman redefines rape. The ideology that redefines borders redefines citizenship. The ideology that redefines history erases Little Italy from a map. Language is always the first institution captured. Once you control the definitions you control the debate. Once you control the debate you control the policy. Mamdani is not making mistakes. He is executing a strategy. We have seen it before.

The Supreme Court ruled that woman means adult human female. The Cass Review found puberty blockers were prescribed to children without adequate evidence. Detransitioners are living with irreversible consequences. The misfire was not basing women's rights on biology. The misfire was an ideology that captured institutions, silenced clinicians, and told women their concerns were reactionary. JK Rowling was right. The biology held.

Council removes England flags before a World Cup semi final. The same councils that fly the progress flag on public buildings, endorse Pride month officially, and would never touch a Palestinian flag on a balcony. The state's enforcement of what symbols are permitted in public is not neutral. The flags they remove and the flags they fly tell you everything about who they think they represent.
