staberind posted:the fact that you feel the need to qualify that means that you don't understand what "help" entails. Help entails rendering assistance. However, one cannot render assistance beyond ones available resources. This is not an argument against rendering assistance in the first place, it is simply a recognition that people of different means possess different abilities to offer help. I don't see how recognising this fact negates the help offered? I do not understand the objection. Lord_Adonis fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Jun 29, 2017 |

I think that you are being rather hyperbolic- I fail to see what Hitler has to do with a discussion on the dynamics of rendering assistance to people? If one's resources are unequal to the task, then one can pool one's resources with others inclined to help. If that is not sufficient, then how can one, or a group offer help without the material basis to do so? It would be akin to setting out to build a house without being able to obtain bricks and mortar. If one is in no position to help, then they cannot help- where does the logic falter? Of course, it could be the case that a person declares their resources insufficient to employ in help when they are in fact sufficient, but that is for the person asking help, or other observers to reason out and judge the truth of, and does not negate the principle that help can only be provided where the ability exists to do so.

At the end of the day a hard Brexit is going to hurt the economy, but who suffers is going to be determined by who's in government. The Tory idea that a weaker economy means everyone will be worse off than they are now is a lie.

ThomasPaine posted:QT is going to give me a loving stroke Tonight's crowd seems especially rowdy. I also don't know how many "we can't politicise this" lines I can take. Is the link between political decisions leading to policy leading to a social effect really that hard to understand? And taking that chain backwards to from the impact of regulation (or a lack thereof) to a political decision is suddenly "scoring points"? Also Nick Ferrari is a massive poo poo.

Corbyn giving the boot to the Front Benchers that voted against the whip isn't a surprise. I imagine the same would of happened if Corbyn was a front bencher in Blair's government. The only difference being that Corbyn wasn't going to be selected to begin with where as Corbyn has not much choice. Though it would be very loving hypocritical if Corbyn decieds to do anything against the backbenchers for rebelling considering his track record. Though I very much doubt it.

Pochoclo posted:While I am a bit disappointed about the whip thing, I also understand that there's just no loving way at this point that we get a Norway-style deal so it doesn't really matter all that much. Yeah this is my assessment as well. I think a Norway style deal has always seemed fairly unlikely, even before the referendum; it is simply too good and non-punishing a deal from the EU's point of view. In addition the lunatics have been screaming about the hardest of hard brexits for literally a year now so Norway deal wouldn't be likely on the other side either. I really hope I'm wrong.

I think that we might be talking past one another. It seems to me that your example demonstrates that people can believe that they are helping, when they in fact are doing the opposite, rather than a situation where people are constrained in their ability to help by a lack of resources. Let me put it another way: How does one give something that one does not have in the way of help?

Every time I hear his voice, there's this amazing Pavlovian response where my teeth start griding, and I get the overwhemling urge to throttle the fat oval office. Watching QT this week was another exercise in restraint at not putting my foot through the TV, when both him and loving Liam Fox appeared together.

There is absolutely no mainstream left wing brexit narrative and I'm not happy to see Corbyn making symbolic capitulations to the racist thumbpeople Britain.
