If you're a Labour supporter and your MP is one of the largely right wing ones, do you still volunteer for canvassing if able?

So my dea dear sister's birthday is tomorrow and has asked that instead of giving her gifts we donate to a fundraiser she is doing. Which is all very nice, but she's raising money for PETA UK. I don't want to be a dickhead to my sister but I also don't want to give money to those wankers. What do?

Yes because it still might get Corbyn in

Then campaign internally for the MP to be replaced by a leftier one when the opportunity presents

Tell her you did the donation and instead donate to a good charity that actually helps animals. She doesn’t need to know and you’ve done a better job of satisfying what she really wants.

Go to Oxfam and do one of those "buy a goat" things, or donate to the RSPCA in her name or something. PETA do more work in advertising PETA than anything else and should gently caress off, signed a life long vegetarian.

Actually, that's a lie, my gran once fed me sausages because I don't think she was very happy that her daughter-in-law was a vegetarian.

Depends heavily on what kind of relationship you have with your sister.

For example with my siblings I could tell them "don't be a loving wanker, PETA is loving terrible you idiot" without fear of offending them, but if that's not a possibility then politely tell them you've been involved with another charity and tell them you donated there instead, or if you have a weird distant relationship just tell them you did and don't I guess

It was called Bar Lebensmittel. They also had shot glasses with Mussolini on them that said NOSTALGIA on the front, but they spotted me taking photos and I thought I'd better get out of there.

Sure, you could donate to local foodbanks or homeless charities, or you could donate to Chris WIlliamson's crowdfunding campaign to get sue the Labour Party. Never mind that he's paid £79,468 a year and could be funding this himself (or y'know, could have stopped putting his food in his mouth several years ago but that's asking a bit much).

Offa's Dyke trip report, day 4:

Walking 7/10: Not quite up to the spectacle of yesterday's romp across the Black Mountains, but still a lovely long ramble through the borderlands countryside. Getting a little worried about all the commons hilltops being absolutely covered in ferns, cant be good for the biodiversity? Otherwise many lovely sheep, but I wish they'd stop pooing on the path.
Sogginess 6/10: persistent drizzle and low clouds for most of the day meant that we spent 95% in our rain wear, thank gently caress I got a very nice hard shell from my fiance. Pant status mainly dry, but very soggy shoes that may finally need replacing.

"Life is easier when you don't have to look over your shoulder."

Okay, great, that works if everybody stops carrying knives, but not just if you do and others continue to.

Like, that's one of the foundational ideas of civilization, most of which is just *schniff* abstractions of violence. You have a justice and welfare and civil guard system that's good enough, you don't need to go around armed at all hours. You have an excellent one and you don't have to go around armed ever. This is always because of other people/systems being willing to do violence on your behalf, but through so many layers of abstraction that it stops being 'you get stabbed and die' violence.

Guess what happens when a group of people feel that systems are unwilling unable to be relied upon to do that abstract violence on their behalf.


This, it's this that happens.
