I only see two classes - the Elites who own and control pretty much everything and the rest of us - some of whom may be very wealthy and some not, so not Marxist, as I am not against capitalism per se, but I am opposed to global capitalists, particularly their cynical use of disaster capitalism. Also not keen on their Eugenics and transhumanists views. Are you still pinning all your hopes on 2 party democracy? |

You see no facts supporting a shadowy Elite you say so you think that Sleepy Joe and now Trump have been running things - you really do have a cartoonish take on the world 901. The good news for you is Trump is controlled by others he may be allowed to have his head to promote the illusion of democracy, but it is merely a simulation and once the people cry enough, he will exit stage left having served his purpose and it will swing back to the democrats and all will be well again in your life - rest easy my friend, sleep well. |

You have asked me this question before Ian and I will give the same answer - no I am not an anarchist, although at some point anarchy could be preferable to tyranny - it would certainly be a lot cheaper! But it would always run the risk of turning back in to tyrannical government by degrees or being controlled by Narcos type gangs. We are clearly witnessing a move to neo feudalism where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few again. I don't see that as nihilistic, it's just realistic. Politically speaking its hard to know a way out other than encouraging those around you to see the battle is not left/right, it's up/down and always has been. The collective will of the people can resist and overturn actions of government as in the Poll tax. What I am convinced about is this is not sorted through our present 2 party political system, which just enables the oligarchic system. If you want to stand as an independent to clean up the mess, you have my vote Ian. |

Are you having an epiphany 901? The world is run by psychopathic oligarchs who are leading us into a dystopian future. Most swallowed the Covid totalitarian scam, so now you get new world order via Trump's funders, Musk and Peter Theil etc who will bring us a technocratic future and all that that entails. It is pointless looking for better leaders, as they are all in the same club. If the heat gets too much on Trump, the next "assassination" attempt" will be for "real" and he will get a quick makeover and be retired off to some sun kissed island to see out his days. J D Vance is lined up - he was hand picked by Theil and despite comparing Trump to Hitler gets picked as his running mate - did he have a change of heart? No, they're just reading from a script. It's theatre, which is why The Epstein files won't be released and nothing changes. You thought it was better under the senile child stroking Biden? It wasn,t better, it was just differently bad. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss - don't get fooled again. |

The BBC is toast, young people are not interested, it is irrelevant to them. The imposition of a mandatory license fee if you watch any TV is both outrageous and unenforceable. Those still tuning in are watching the final death throes of a media giant, maybe that is entertaining? |

I'm guessing you are projecting here?? Andrew Tate is a construct and a grotesque one at that, I'm not the slightest bit interested in him. Joey Barton may indeed be a thug but to be quite honest mate you act like a thug on here, so maybe you should look in the mirror before giving your opinion "Noddy" |

Unless you are referring to the old babylonian occultic religion, I think you are way off beam here, which is not to say organised religion does not get corrupted or infiltrated, but clearly the biggest influences now via entertainment, western politics etc is secularism, consumerism, atheism and materialism , they come from a very different source. Impressed that you know Joey Barton so well that you can interpret the state of his heart. |

I don't understand how you blame religion for this and what do you mean by the brainwashing of religion - are you referring to parts of islam which is aggressively patriarchal, perhaps you can explain? Surely the problems of society are due to the heart of man and the propensity to do wrong - being selfish, self cantered, thoughtless etc. I don't see someone's upbringing as mitigation for their acts, as we all have to take responsibility for our actions, however life is not a level playing field - some of us had two loving parents who taught us right from wrong, some of us did not. A realisation of this may help us give transgressors a second chance. |

Strange for suggesting that there may be redemption for people that do bad things? Would you advocate capital punishment, life imprisonment or sterilisation or all three? Thankfully most of us don't kick women in the head, but it's a very bold man who says he has never done anything he is ashamed of, maybe you are the exception? If you are then I will be coming to you for lessons in piety. Joey Barton is pushed by the algorithm. There are people who can express his views in a much more articulate way, without his baggage but his thuggishness suits those who push the left/right divide. He is merely a pawn, a distraction, part of divide and conquer. Getting maniacally angry over flawed minor celebs like Barton distracts us from those who subjugate and immiserate us and promote war that our children may die in and countless other things that affect us personally, that we have a right to be angry about. |

Wow, that's quite the reaction, displaced anger maybe? I'm going to wish Mr & Mrs Barton and their child every happiness in the future as I would any couple. This from the BBC suggests the judge saw it the same way; Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring said a mitigating factor was that the couple remained in a "happy relationship" with a young child, adding: "That is not something I want to interfere with." |

Haha, are you a shrink now Ian? No there is nothing particularly special about me, it's just that you can't unsee what you see. You have to remember I would have argued like you do now for most of my life - are you open to changing your mind Ian and dismantling your world view or is it a closed book? |

The price of speaking the truth is to be misunderstood by both the ignorant and the arrogant. People love to be part of the herd, but it's a deceptively safe place for the hoi polloi - enjoy your mind control! |

You're never going to survive on the left if you don't learn to cancel and snub the likes of me friend - that is their very raison d'etre, I'm sure there is someone round here who can give you lessons.... |

Good grief 901, you sound like a conspiracy theorist - you just need to stop questioning the players and question the whole game instead. |
