He’s bang in the centre of Labour politics, AIUI: he didn’t get the pro-Corbyn slate endorsement for the last round of elections, but is conciliatory enough to Corbyn that he got a lot of votes from Corbyn supporters who couldn’t countenance voting for someone who was strongly accused of being anti-Semitic.

Everything went a lot easier for me back then when I was a tall, heavy meat-faced man who faced adversity with threats of violence. Back then I cleaned the coal dust from my naugahyde skin with a sluice of ice water, scrubbing myself down on the hard winter lawn inches from the pebbledash walls. Gin and lager swim behind my eyes, filling my mind with contempt for this flaccid man I've become, a custard-fed warm-shower slug who daren't raise a hand against his own sissy grandson.

Wow so true. Guess we should have done what we would if it was an Islamic terrorist massacring people at a church and instead demanded that moderate whites condemn white radicals, forcibly silenced and deplatformed white hate preachers, and deported white nationalists back to Caucasia or Atlantis or wherever even if they were born here. Wait where are you going?

Always remember the wingnut projection factor: these folks come up with these narratives because it's what they want to be able to do and are shakingly furious about their inability to, or the unwillingness of their Strong Daddy social and policy leaders to do so.

DrNutt posted:There's a decent Chapo lately that's just Amber and some leftist UK Professor who talks about why the EU was bad from a leftist perspective, mainly how undemocratic the EU is, how it allows for extreme worker exploitation, and how it essentially is a big boon for multinational corporations and World Bank more so than the citizens of EU countries. Like I'm sure there were beneficial things that have helped some EU folks, but it sounds a lot like how NAFTA in the Americas was beneficial to wealthy/middle class people by providing cheaper goods via lovely exploitive labor practices. Which is becoming more apparent as wealth inequality grows and more of us keep getting slotted into the hosed over labor classes at the bottom rather than a functioning middle class. Unfortunately, Chapo is chronically terrible at economics, social policy and history. Yannis Varoufakis (the leftist economics prof who ran Greece for a short bit during the crash) isn't even fundamentally opposed to the EU, more so to their crappy austerity policies. What the EU does that NAFTA does not, is assure the free the movement of peoples as well as goods/capital. This goes a long way to defraying some of the horseshit inequality caused by capitalism. Polish tradesmen (for example) can/could go and work and live in Britain (while transferring some of that wealth out of the British economy back to their families), making sure that Poland isn't trapped in some endless cycle of comparative advantage hell, where say Polish natural resources are strip-mined but Poland isn't able to develop a functional local economy (i.e. many developing nations). On the other hand, a skilled Mexican laborer is stuck legally waiting on the other side of the border for about 15 years, while the surplus value of their labor is exported to the US, never to return. Incidentally, part of the racism driving Brexit was caused by East European trades moving into the UK to work. Basically, Brexit will take Britain back to the NAFTA stage... all the free-market exploitation without any of the labor mobility. It will be significantly worse for labor both in and outside the UK. International trade is both a boon and a curse, but opting for Autarky or less labor mobility via a "lexit" is about the same kind of nonsense.

One of the problems specifically pointed out in that episode is that "free movement" means that a Polish laborer, for instance, working in Britain, is subject to Polish labor laws and wages rather than British ones. So while it might be good in some ways, it also means Britain can import an essentially endless supply of exploited laborers, which can certainly lead to hosed up local economic issues. If that's not accurate in some way then I'd be happy to be corrected in my understanding.

If that's not accurate in some way then I'd be happy to be corrected in my understanding. What you're talking about are posted workers, which is a specific subgroup of workers who temporarily move across national borders for their already existing work. (I.e. if the German branch of airbus sends an engineer to work with in a French office for a month to coordinate a project). This is distinct from workers who emigrate and then open a business in their new country, those integrate into the local labour market and have to follow its laws. Now, to be clear, there's plenty of abuses of the posted workers directive, but they are not the entirety of European labour migration. re: Varoufakis: He is actually currently working on campaigning for the Democracy in Europe Movement, which is a transnational party running for the European parliament on a platform of reforming the EU to be more participatory, so if there's any Eurogoons itt you should check that out, especially those from Germany, as he is running on the German ticket to get into the EP.

Pembroke Fuse posted:Incidentally, part of the racism driving Brexit was caused by East European trades moving into the UK to work. Part of the thinking behind it was that previous waves of necessary migration (African-Caribbean people moving to the Mainland from the British West Indies after WW2 to help rebuild; South Asians moving from East Africa and Pakistan in the 60s) precipitated a massive racist reaction, which led to the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962 and Immigration Act 1971 (which in turn sped up the process of the Caribbean territories saying "lol gently caress off then" and declaring independence). So the idea was something like "if we build up a mobile labor pool of white people, they won't be an easy target like with previous waves of migration". This worked well.

So much good bullshit in this one Lol I love the "telling people not to wear gold chains in slums is not victim blaming" - no, it literally is that. You're telling a theoretical robbery victim that they deserved it. To say nothing of how unlikely it would be for a poor person to decide to gently caress with someone that would clearly call the police.

I don't know.. Like sure, that may be true on a theoretical level, but is it a good idea to encourage a person to accept drinks from random strangers? Of course it would be great if we ever reached a point where that would be fine, and of course it's not the victim's FAULT that they got roofied, but you can still do things to avoid bad outcomes without it being your FAULT if it happens anyway. You can still get in a car accident even if you're a perfect driver and weren't at fault and it's not victim blaming to tell people to drive carefully. The rest of it betrays their true intent, though and the people who give this kind of "advice" to women ARE victim blaming and coming from the angle of "women are temptresses and men can't help themselves" so gently caress them.
