"Critical Thinking" is a right wing trope? Please enlighten me… or did I misunderstand? Genuinely never heard of this!

Anyone capable of critical thinking would quickly switch away from GB News.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. A bit more critical thinking around the place would be a good thing.

I think there is plenty of critical thinking going about but there's a sort of person who thinks they're one of few capable of it and never shut their mouths. The world's a mess and I'm the only one who can sort it, those types. Tends to come from the middle-aged (God nearly there myself now...)trying to battle their irrelevance by kicking against progressive values. Despite espousing about critical thinking they most often are staunch defenders of the status quo.

Like you say Routine Builder, it'll be interesting to see who the critical thinkers are. Based on previous releases it'll be reflective self criticism.

As a middle aged man, I don't see many critical thinkers who'd excite me when it comes to Manics lyrics.

So it'll be Nicky lamenting how he's lost his anger, or how he struggles with losing it?

The new breed of Critical Thinkers are the "Do your own research!" crowd - which involves watching a YouTube video of a ranting maniac, usually. Not read Peer Reviewed research, talk with experts etc.

That was exactly what I thought when I first saw the title Orwellian!

This is an impressive picture of James playing one of his other new Eastman guitars.
Just think... Everything we'll hear from them from now on will probably have been played on those instruments!
