Australian progressive activist group GetUp just put out a video arguing that Australia should preemptively surrender to China in order to avoid communal violence in our multicultural society. ''1.4 million Australians have Chinese heritage. They're our neighbours, workmates and families. We've already seen immigrants villainised and targeted, tensions ready to explode in our streets. War would ignite this fuse, tearing Australian communities apart.'' The idea here is that we must allow the Chinese Communist Party to conquer Taiwan and any surrounding country it likes so as to avoid communal tensions inside Australia. Hmm, what a wonderful endorsement of our multicultural system.

***EXCLUSIVE by @MishalHusain*** David Cameron says Britain should NOT rejoin the EU The former prime minister warns Andy Burnham that starting a conversation about rejoining would be “very long and painful” Speaking in a Bloomberg interview, Cameron urges Burnham not to trigger another “decade-long debate about whether should be in or out.” He also says the UK should not enter a customs union with the EU As the PM who led the Remain campaign in 2016, Cameron’s intervention will be seen as significant. He says Britain’s economic problems aren’t due to Brexit “Today, instead of launching an argument about rejoining, which I think would be a very long and painful argument, and who knows where it would end up, instead of that, focus on how do we be the best friend, best neighbour, best partner,” Cameron says The former PM also warns Burnham that talking about Britain rejoining could hamper future negotiations “If you start endlessly producing this idea that we’re actually on a path to rejoining, I think you’re in danger of getting a less good partnership deal because of course the EU countries will just think: well, these guys are gonna rejoin anyway, so what’s the point in giving them a good partnership deal… If you’re not going to, you know, commit to trying to make the partnership stronger because you’re flirting with rejoining, I think there’s some dangers there,” Cameron says “I don’t think actually necessarily joining a customs union is the right answer. If you look at the economic problems we have today, I don’t really think they’ve got anything to do with Brexit at all. I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit. We need a government that actually gets spending under control, gets taxes down, helps entrepreneurs, deals with our borrowing problem, reforms the welfare, and massively deregulates so we can build houses, build infrastructure. None of those have got anything to do with Europe. So that’s sort of, in a way, that’s my point. Do we really want to go into another decade-long debate about whether we should be in or out, when actually we should deal with our own problems while making the partnership model work?” “I fought the campaign to stay in on an amended basis, and I obviously wanted to win that campaign. I was desperately disappointed that we lost that campaign. But I’m a democrat, a believer in democracy. We voted to leave, and I think the right thing now is to try and become, you know, not just neighbors, partners, and friends of the EU, but the best friends, the best neighbors, the best partners. And I think we can make that work” Story by @ChaplainChloe: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Politico: The Tech Right Pivots Left Nowhere is that hard pivot more on display than with Alex Karp, the CEO and co-founder of secretive tech giant Palantir, which bet massively on Trump 2.0 and became an administration darling in the process Inside Palantir’s Manhattan lair, in an exclusive sitdown with Playbook, Karp — who once criticized the Democratic Party as “totally irresponsible” — deployed the word ‘progressive’ eight times to describe his philosophy while acknowledging Democrats ‘absolutely’ corrected in 2026 enough to win back his support in 2028. Karp: “I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I grew up in a far left environment. I know more about being a progressive than almost anybody on the planet, and I absolutely believe Palantir— all of our products are essentially progressive.” Link to article: politico.com/newsletters/pla…

New Zealand's excellent reputation as a country is completely undeserved. The entire country is full of stupid ass bumpkins and racist geriatrics who hate Māori.
