Versus Wikipedia:
Politico (stylized in all caps), known originally as The Politico, is an American political digital newspaper company founded by American banker and media executive Robert Allbritton in 2007.[4]
In 2021, Politico was reportedly acquired for over $1 billion by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company.[6] Axel Springer SE’s CEO Mathias Dopfner said that Politico employees would be required to adhere to the company’s principles of support for Israel’s right to exist, support for a United Europe and a free-market economy.[7]
In 2024, Politico was handed leaked confidential materials from the Donald Trump presidential campaign. Politico confirmed that the documents were authentic but refused to report on their contents. The Associated Press wrote that the decision by Politico to not report on the Trump campaign leaks stands “in marked contrast” to Politico’s extensive reporting on the leaked email communications of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, John Podesta.[110]
An investigation by The Intercept, The Nation, and DeSmog found that Politico is one of the leading media outlets that publishes advertising for the fossil fuel industry while failing to adequately distinguish between independent journalism and native advertising.[111] Journalists who cover climate change for Politico are concerned that conflicts of interest with the companies and industries that cause climate change, obstruct action, and engage in greenwashing through sponsored content will reduce the credibility of their reporting on climate change and cause readers to be misinformed.[111]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politico
Axel Springer SE (German: [ˈaksl̩ ˈʃpʁɪŋɐ ɛsˈeː]) is a European multinational mass and online media company, based in Berlin, Germany.
with numerous multimedia news brands, such as Bild, Die Welt, Fakt, and the US political news site Politico, which Axel Springer acquired in 2021.[5]
The company generated total revenues of about €3.93 billion and an EBITDA increase of 12.8% in the first half of 2023.[6][7] Following US private-equity firm KKR’s majority-stake acquisition in 2020, Axel Springer’s revenues have increased by a total of approximately €1 billion.[8][9][10] The company, including its subsidiaries, joint ventures, and licenses, operates in more than 40 countries.
In the United States, Axel Springer is ranked among the top four digital publishers, alongside USA Today, News Corp, and The New York Times.[6]
Gudrun Kruip, a scholar associated with the Stiftung Bundespräsident-Theodor-Heuss-Haus, has claimed that Axel Springer SE, along with its subsidiaries, exhibits a pro-American stance, often omitting criticism of US foreign policy.[60] This observation is then backed by allegations made by two former CIA officers in an interview with The Nation, claiming that Axel Springer received $7 million from the CIA.[61] The purpose of this funding, they allege, was to influence the publisher to align its editorial content with American geopolitical interests.[61] Although no conclusive evidence has come to light, Springer’s admission in his autobiography regarding the financial challenges faced at the outset of his publishing venture, suggesting the necessity of external funding for the company’s rapid growth led Kruip to believe that the allegations of CIA financial support are credible.[60] As of 2001, the Axel Springer SE names “solidarity with the libertarian values of the United States of America” as one of its core principles on its website.[62] This explicit stance has led to critiques from scholars and independent observers regarding the company’s perceived alignment with American interests.[60][63][64][65][66] Furthermore, an article in Foreign Policy has critiqued Axel Springer SE for a history of compromising journalistic ethics to support right-wing causes, implying a longstanding pattern of bias in its publications.[67]

This is not a source from which we should pay any heed.

5·7 days agonato does not have any democratic principles in its rules because was assumed that everyone in it wants the same thing, so everything needs to be done with full agreement.
Consensus decision-making is a group decision-making process in which participants work together to develop proposals for actions that achieve a broad acceptance. Consensus is reached when everyone in the group assents to a decision (or almost everyone; see stand aside) even if some do not fully agree to or support all aspects of it. It differs from simple unanimity, which requires all participants to support a decision. Consensus decision-making in a democracy is consensus democracy.[1]

Consensus is far more democratic than majority rule, which is the norm in most Western democracies.
For the ignorant, watch this. It’s a bit intense but very eye opening.
HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex “real world” and instead established a simpler “fake world” for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on BBC iPlayer.[2]
There really is nothing nice about USA
You go to the hospital you gotta pay
The dollar is the language that they all speak
They don’t really bother about the radiation leakFuck the USA
They keep their secrets undercover
The rich don’t bother about those that suffer
This ain’t the land of milk and honey
Cause all they want is money money moneyFuck the USA
Nuclear bombs are fuck all new
You’d better start running when they drop on you
Run into a shelter, play hide and seek
Cause when you die your body reeksFuck the USA

Not too dissimilar to how one of the officers struck a protestor with a sledgehammer mere seconds before.
Watch the video yourself, it has been released.
The officer was signed off for 3 months. For a back injury. That’s nothing as back injuries go. The other officer that they tried to spin as also brutally mauled by barbarian terrorists wasn’t even taken to hospital because the injuries were so superficial. This is so clearly an attempt by the police and government to spin one action done in the heat of the moment in an act of self defence as the premeditated actions of an entire group.
Even if the intention was to grievously harm an officer, GBH is not terrorism. GBH by one member does not reflect the entire group and its intentions. If that were the case then the police are also a terrorist organisation (wait… actually…)
It’s kayfabe. Blindboy (Irish musician) explains it well here with Ash Sarkar (English journalist/activist):
If you watch the video that was released you’ll see it’s not as clear cut as your comment makes out.
For example, the officer was also wielding a sledgehammer, a protestor had just slipped on the wet floor and as they were getting up again the sledgehammer wielding officer used the handle to shove them to the ground again.
Only parts of the footage have been released and the parts they did release didn’t paint the picture of an innocent bobby being brutalised by terrorists, as they tried to portray in multiple press releases beforehand.
They also released the footage during the midst of an active trial despite having it for months prior.
The police’s actions are not those of an impartial or innocent organisation.
31·29 days agoFuck off with this xenophobic derogatory stereotyping.
Also, if you’re going to be a bigot, at least get it right and use sheep shagging as your insult, Buckie and heroin are stereotypes of the central belt, not Aberdeen/shire.

Haven’t you seen? He’s rounding up all the foreigners, anyone else he deems “other”, and picking a fight with Venezuela. What more could you possibly want him to do?
Gut international aid?
Shut down the education department?
Remove science from the centre for disease control?
Use the media regulator to pressure and shut down dissenting voices?
Threaten universities?
Deploy troops on the streets?
He’s doing these things already. America will be great again™ in no time!

This article is a fun read.
The system only works because millions of cogs step in line and allow the machinery of that system to work.
I have been part of a larger evil system. Because where I grew up that’s what everyone did, you went into the industry propping up the local economy (oil and gas). As I grew older I learned of the evils of fossil fuels, about climate change, and no longer work in oil and gas. I have no intention of ever doing so again.
So you could quite rightfully call me a bastard. But I left and will never be returning, does that absolve me of the bastard title? I don’t know. But while you’re actively part of the machinery you’re definitely a bastard. Especially if you’re the part of the machinery that is systemically racist and assaults and restrains people on a daily basis.
Intentions vs actions.
All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption.
Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they’re told.
Anyone who still approves of him is a fucking idiot.

Always has been.
2·1 month agoScots is common throughout the country. There’s also a local variant in the north east called Doric which to others is near impossible to understand. It’s perhaps more rural only, although there’s certainly still people in Aberdeen that speak it.
Do you know where in Scotland this person was from? That might help narrow it down.
Was there a lot of Fs? In Doric the “wh” from English questions is changed to an F.
What? - Fit?
Where? - Far?
When? - Fan?
How? - Foo?
Why? - often how is asked to mean why, or just fit why will be askedIf you are in a Doric shoe shop you can legitimately ask “Fit fit fits fit fit?” which means “Which foot fits which foot?”
This appears to have been under the previous Conservative government.
However, with the actions of the current Labour government against pro-Palestine groups and supporters it wouldn’t surprise me if they are doing similar.
Westminster is full of scumbags. Scottish independence can’t come fast enough. Fuck the union, fuck this racist, classist, moralless, support of genocide. Fuck the intimidation of war crimes prosecutors. David Cameron should be prosecuted as an accessory to genocide for doing so.
Go do 20 minutes on your paper.
What’s 20 minutes?
You got this!
