#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianAishaDown ^[Muckrack] "Donald Trump's state department intends to allocate $12m [USD] to organisations in the UK founded by the prominent Conservatives Jacob Rees-Mogg and Toby Young, the Guardian can reveal. ... The 878 group lists its founding directors as Jacob Rees-Mogg, the former minister of state for Brexit opportunities, and his former special adviser Dr Radomir Tylecote, who has appeared on short-lived former prime minister Liz Truss' YouTube show. During his appearance, he claimed: 'We are not a functioning democracy at this point ... it's a worse system than in the United States.' ... The group notes: 'We take no government money and have no political agenda'. But critics see it as a partisan rallying point for 'anti-woke' grievance which has campaigned on issues that have become conservative causes célèbres. Rees-Mogg, Young, and Tylecote were all scheduled to speak in London this week at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the inaugural British spin-off - organised by Liz Truss - of the influential US event. Earlier this month, Young appeared on Rees-Mogg's GB News show to warn that the UK's 'Soviet-level censorship' of social media risked angering Donald Trump and JD Vance." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/17/trump-administration-to-grant-12m-to-groups-founded-by-uk-conservatives-jacob-rees-mogg-and-toby-young #IRLJournalistTobyYoungAKAToadmeister #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyJacobReesMogg #AdvocacyAELegatumInstituteRadomirTylecote #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyLizTruss #PhenomnBrexit #NMUKGBNews #OrgRUSovietUnionOfSovietSocialistRepublicsUSSR #PhenomnCensorship #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPJDVance #AdvocacyUKFreeSpeechUnionFSU #AdvocacyUK878 "Our name - from the pivotal year of 878 AD - conveys the urgency of our own era. Britain and its closest allies are facing peril. But through the rediscovery of our ancient culture, making the right choices, and finding the will to face down our philosophical and military adversaries, our civilisation will survive and thrive. Now more than ever, it is incumbent on us all to rediscover and nurture the roots of our shared English-speaking civilisation in order to defend it. At 878, we are renewing our Judeo-Christian culture and civilisational mission. Future leaders in Britain and America will need to appreciate the deepest roots of our political life and our freedoms. Working with scholars in Israel and other closely allied nations, we are rejuvenating knowledge of the origins of our constitutional tradition. We build friendships with our closest civilisational allies to restore both the fabric of our countries and the resolve of our future leadership." #878_BattleOfEdington ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorWarfareUnderAttack #MetaphorVersusDefencelessHostile #BeliefTheismJudeoChristian #IdentityPanEuropean #NarrativeValuesBritish #NarrativeValuesAmerican #PoliticsNationalismBritishEnglish

"I get the whole alt/clean energy pitch, and yes it's relevant. However, do y'all realize what it would take to retool industries of the world to accommodate a zero carbon footprint. The Green New Deal is just a way to steal more of our tax dollars. We don't need the Green New Deal. Industries are already investing in Alt/Clean energy; including the oil & gas industry. The last thing we need to do is create another gov't bureaucratic monster that needs to be fed more of our tax dollars. Private/Public industries always do a more effective, efficient, and cost effective job than our government.

Addendum #ReasoningArgumentRejoinder to #CauseActivismClimate perspectives (as a rhetorical response to hypothetical scenarios). The opening claim that "I get the whole alt/clean energy pitch" is a #ReasoningArgumentBadFaith i.e. "The hallmark of a bad-faith argument is that it disguises the core point of a debate rather than addressing issues, beliefs, and values head-on. Bad faith arguments aren't 'real' positions; they're proxy positions people take for rhetorical purposes. In some cases, a bad faith position can be intentional." https://medium.com/s/story/a-field-guide-to-bad-faith-arguments-7-terrible-arguments-in-your-mentions-ee4f194afbc9

Context "the inactivists - a loose coalition of fossil-fuel interests, conservative ideologues and supportive politicians and journalists - seek to redirect responsibility for the problem away from the fossil fuel industry and towards individual consumers, as well as developing nations in the global south.

"Habermas sees the modern public sphere as, in many ways, the victim of its own success. As it expanded far beyond its original basis of educated male property-owners, material inequalities could no longer be set aside, but rather became the subject of public debate (1962 [1989: 127]). And this debate was no longer a matter of rational-critical analysis of state action by the assembled public, but of negotiation between interest groups which bypass public reason. Instead of the approximation of society to the ideal type, what emerged was an impoverished pseudo-public sphere, lacking its original capacity for rational-critical discourse, easily manipulated by states, corporations, and interest groups using the techniques of 'public relations' (1962 [1989: 176, 236]). Its role now, as in the feudal era, is to acclaim decisions which have already been made." ^{[encyclopædia]} #IRLPhilosopherJurgenHabermas #TheoryThePublicSphere #PoliticsFeudalism ^[Wikipedia]
