  • Modern conservative governance, not just in the UK, has failed to address the significant social, ecological, and economic changes facing our global society.

    Unfortunately, despite these shortcomings, the fear of change and a reluctance to embrace progress ensure that conservatives won’t easily lose elections. It’s a recurring pattern seen not only in the UK but also mirrored globally. The past 13+ years of Tory rule highlight the challenges of an electorate that seems somewhat ignorant and self-centered.




  • Since Ariel Sharon, conservative ideologies have been deeply ingrained in Israeli politics, and Netanyahu’s resignation may not bring about a fundamental shift in this longstanding trend.

    The political landscape has been characterized by continuity, and despite changes in leadership, the core ideologies often persist. The implications for the lives of Israelis and Palestinians might not undergo a substantial transformation.

    Obligatory: Fuck Hamas and Netanyahu














    1. Provocative: Offering simplistic solutions in an ever-complex world.

    2. Missed Opportunities: Failure to reform parliamentary and democratic institutions, as seen in Renzi’s unsuccessful attempt.

    3. Post-2008 Fallout: Economic challenges exacerbated by Germany’s austerity policies, evident during the Covid pandemic.

    4. Middle-Class Struggles: Ignored or worsened by neoliberal reforms, coupled with challenges of an aging society.

    5. Disinformation Game: Undemocratic players like Russia and China exploit Western disparities to destabilize opinions.

    In summary, it’s a confluence of economic, ecological, and political challenges ignored for years. Neoliberal and conservative leaders failed to prepare the public for these fast-approaching changes. The current era of transformation is overwhelming, with parties seeking change challenging the status quo.

    Right-wing and fascist parties globally tap into the frustration, promoting a familiar narrative: “Return to simpler times by blaming refugees, migrants, trans, homosexuals, and others. We offer stability and structure.” It’s a playbook used a century ago and likely to resurface in the next crisis.
