I have absolutely no clue how many people this will reach - but I strongly strongly recommend everyone who does read this to go onto Spotify and listen to one of the latest episodes of The Rest Is Politics - Rory Stewart makes an absolutely well articulated point about the global turn to the right. The comparisons he makes about rhetoric that's flourishing right now about repatriation (e.g. in Austria, Robert Jenricks comments) and how we've seen this before in Nazi Germany and the Balkans, how it began as 'peaceful' missions but were some of the most violent periods in human history - and similar rhetoric is being spread now.

I do disagree with some of Rory's wider beliefs and policy (i.e. the monarchy) but his defence of the importance of the liberal world order against this rise of the far-right is so well articulated, and it really well expresses what and how the Overton Window of global politics has shifted. Like they said - comments like the ones Jenrick are making would've been unthinkable in the Conservative Party under May or Cameron, bearing disturbing similarity to Enoch Powell and his "Rivers of Blood Speech".

They touch on Elon Musk and his detrimental impact through the spreading of fake news, particularly the bearing this is having on UK Politics

We all owe it to ourselves to really understand what's going on right now, because that's the way to challenge it - and I really recommend The Rest Politics and Rory Stewarts analysis.

^^ there's the link for anyone I've managed to convince.

"gordon freeman was 27 he should have been at the club" before getting his Black Mesa job dr. freeman spent a chunk of his twenties in europe in the late 1990s. the reason half life 1's soundtrack is all industrial techno is because that's what's playing in his head 24/7

#half life #germany is not austria i know this #but cmon. german industrial techno.#cmoooooon
