Howard Cox @HowardCCoxI have said on behalf of #fairfueluk that the only way EVs can succeed is to legally but unfairly knock out Diesel/Petrol cars via the draconian 2030 ban, keep tax subsidies and remove any vehicle tax. Well it seems this u-turn infested government is to do exactly that. And tens of millions of fossil fuel drivers will have to pic up the tab. This is not a free market economy, it’s a state control attack on our freedom to drive and choose what we want to drive. @Ed_Miliband @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP. https://x.com/HowardCCox/status/1927384014240788612

James Lindsay - Cultural Narratives and Power: The Rise of the Woke Right

In this episode, James Lindsay explores the notion of the "woke right" and its impact on political discourse. He characterizes the woke right as a cult-like phenomenon that adopts leftist methodologies while aligning with right-wing politics, emphasizing that both the woke left and woke right share similar dynamics but channel them in opposing directions. Lindsay connects the rise of the woke right to historical authoritarian movements, drawing parallels between fascism and modern conservatism's reactions to perceived Marxist threats. He discusses America's unique identity as a nation defined by ideas rather than ethnicity, advocating for principles grounded in shared values. The conversation also addresses criticisms of Israel, differentiating legitimate critiques from anti-Semitic sentiments. Throughout, Lindsay highlights the complexities of individualism and collective identity, urging a nuanced understanding of contemporary ideologies and societal norms.
