I'm kind of miffed that the internet rat/meme people are appropriating and ruining Jacob Rees-Mogg. I was introduced to him through the british Ali G show when he interviewed him and I just though wow, this guy is amazing. He also had some great speech in parliament about how the monarch is the golden thread that holds the UK together, "not a cotton thread or a woolen thread, but a golden thread."

Congratulations on having a frame of reference so narrow that "golden thread" is an amazing bit of oratory and not a really tired cliche used by people to demonstrate they read Classics at Oxbridge and have literally no actual skills or creativity, I suppose. It doesn't even actually work as a metaphor because the golden thread didn't bind, it showed the way.

You're probably going to plotz the first time some twat talks about Greeks bearing gifts when discussing the eurozone.

I got my dad the book on the russian revolution by china melville; my dad's a terrible liberal but he read the first chapter and really liked it because it's really well written and he loves history (technically it's just me giving him the book since I'm finished with it but I wrote a 'merry christmas dad' note on the title page so it still counts)

I also learned during our extended family Christmas dinner that my great uncle's half brother's grandfather was apparently saved by hitler in the first world war after receiving a gunnery injury (I think) and being left for dead, and volunteered to fight for the white army in the russian revolution, which is pretty bad

also met that guy's wife's ex-husband who is literally a wheelchair-bound nazi who talked about putting Corbyn supporters up against the wall and who I'm pretty sure I overheard loudly praising Himmler? His ex wife and my mum pulled me aside before dinner and warned me not to talk to him because they said 'he's basically a nazi and might become apoplectic if you reply to anything he says about politics' which was mostly the occasional incoherent rant about communists or catholics; he was only around for a few hours though, and the rest of my extended family is very pleasant (everyone else also disliked the elderly nazi but he was tolerated because family, which is pretty terrible, but I'm probably never going to see him again so I guess it doesn't matter) so I had a pretty nice christmas overall :)

Yep

There were more family nazis in the preceding days; I met one second cousin a few times removed or however that works a few days ago at a family lunch, I learned later he was the literal failed product of a late term abortion which made him kind of stupid (which is sad in itself) but still able to function in all areas of life and hold a conversation, and who spent the entire lunch going on about 'black scum' and immigrants and boasted about openly mocking and harassing homeless people (which sort of precluded any chance of me feeling sympathy for him(or anything good really)).

I was kind of shocked that someone would openly say that because I'd never heard that sort of blatant hatred stated explicitly out loud. The pregnant, married woman I was sitting next to, who he was hitting on (which was also super gross but he didn't touch her at least, and we developed a safe word where we could extricate ourselves from the situation), was also shocked, but we went along with it because etiquette and he seemed like he had a fragile ego which we didn't want to poke too much.

I wonder how much appeasement of terrible social and political opinions is just due to the fact that the people who hold them have such fragile egos that any sort of conversation that isn't just straightforward agreement agitates them to the point of outbursts, which normal people don't want to instigate in the middle of family dinners and otherwise pleasant social functions?

Anyway I think my family might just have a relatively high nazi quotient in general but the nazis are quite peripheral I think, it's easy to manoeuvre around them, noone pays much attention to them because they're all pretty worthless people also :)
