You get 1/10 for facetiousness Rented. Wouldn't have anything to do with political connections and insider knowledge would it?

The only good thing about Red China is it looks good on a white tablecloth. Admittedly.

But da man wif da pinko lingo who likes to spend his time here (strangely) still doesn't pronounce Bargearse, Bargearse.

Derail averted....and lol@souffs again!

"Pinko"...."Lefty"....dumbo epithets courtesy of that buncha drunks at News Ltd.
Murdoch and Right Wing research in the US cited “older less educated men” as a key demographic for anti climate science campaigns. They were considered easily mobilised by conspiracy theories and ready to scoff at experts. Campaigns were orchestrated to encourage them to take pride in their opposition to scientists and intellectuals.
Now Murdoch has done a switcheroo and become a champion of renewables all in the cause of gettin' Smoko re-elected - who'd give any cred to the right wingnuts? Lookin' at you Jaxie.

Poor old Europe and UK relying on Russian gas for heating this winter.... Costing 5 times it did last year... Never saw this happening...A lot of discontent building with renewable policies.

Poor ol' Europe indeed pressured by whom? The good ol' USA, to block the new Nordstream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Europe - suuuuckers!
England imports 1% of its gas from Russia - its problem is Brexit - suuuuckers!

I’m not 100% onboard with everything Paddo says, but you gotta give him credit - his work is well written and he broadly (at least) makes a compelling case.

I’m not convinced by his assertion that historic (and current) attempts at Communism failed due to meddling from the U.S. I’d say they failed due to “meddling” from human beings, I.e. we as a species will always seize power in one form or another, as a way of benefitting.

I also think that while your Murdoch’s, etc, deserve your ire and suspicion, you cannot forget that so-called ‘left’ (or progressive) sources are waging their equivalent war on truth. NYT, for instance literally employs terrorist sympathisers and conspiracy theorists and allows them to publish editorials. They have a history of that shite. I’m sure many of the independently owned, progressive sites also have serious reach - although less mainstream.

Add to this, that the medium has expanded and misinformation from across the spectrum really is pulling society apart. I mean look at Twitter - EVERYONE has a channel and a platform. The algos take care of the rest.

In summary, fck Souffs.

A sensible post.

Yes his work is well written, but it's clear it has been a LONG time since he got laid.

Look, I enjoy a well written piece of fictional prose as much as the next guy.

God knows we need some good old fashioned escapism in this day and age...right kids?
