But it doesn't have to be. What if there was a life philosophy that said you should act like a teenager all the time and that by doing so you would actually save the planet and human society and make your own life miles better, what if you could have all the good things and none of the bad.

Lexit was clearly never an option in a public slapfight between Cameron/Osborne and Johnson/Gove, but it only needed to sway <1% of people who voted and convince others to stay at home because it was a public Tory game of shite.

Guavanaut posted:Tankies in 'regressive fuckwits' shocker. Getting into an online slapfight with some ML-Terf group on Facebook was easily one of the least enjoyable ways I've spent an evening over the last few years. They're loving obsessed with trans people. I just don't get why. Even if you subscribe to their dumb analysis why do you care so much about this issue that has zero impact on your life? Are there not more pressing issues? No, apparently. And they are absolutely convinced of their own Correctness. It's super weird. They really, really don't like it when you ask them to consider why it might be that all of their citations on the evils of the trans menace lead back to the American religious right lol. E: a bonus story, same sort of people (very radfem) are almost always extremely anti prostitution. I made (what I thought was) a fairly innocuous point on some thread about the evils of this industry, essentially saying 'middle class camgirls and high class escorts are in a very different position to trafficked street-corner hookers and that's an important thing to recognise in any analysis, because the latter have to be a priority'. I was then accused of being a big misogynistic woman hater (?) and quickly banned. Hilariously though my partner was still in the group and could read the thread, and they outright admitted that I was right but 'that was obvious and they had to make a performative example of me on account of my being a penis-haver', it was all extremely weird but whatever then I stopped arguing with online USSR larpers and started following Weetman instead

Bobby Deluxe posted:It's one thing saying Russian billionaires weren't the only factor, but come on. They may not have started the fire but they certainly threw a lot of money on the pyre. Anyone focusing on anything other than neoliberalism as the overwhelmingly major source for the discontent that lead to the complete lack of faith in the political class that lead to Leave winning the referendum is an act of pure idiocy. I'm not saying the perfidious Rus wasn't a factor I'm just saying that it comes so far down the list that there's no loving point being concerned about it, it's not exactly Operation Gladio.

Rustybear posted:This is a perfectly good take but it's nothing new for the 60s or any other era; "philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it." dead gay comedy forums posted:If we could interrogate the concept, leftist thought as a whole may have a lot of difficulty accepting it but the evidence is there: the motivation, the volition, drive, the very animus of revolutionary thought was criticized, ridiculed and dismantled in the West but no substitution was made. The effects were not immediate, but for those born in the 60s and 70s, it would make a tremendous effect in the shaping of their ideological thought: the supports and anchors built from other decades were broken down and cast aside, without replacement. They would be particularly receptive to neoliberalism. Like that leads directly into the "you can't change things, better just drop out" of the Gen-X slacker stereotype, which in turn leads to "caring about things isn't cool, if you're offended you lose" of the early 00s edgelord, which in turn leads to Nazis. Which I guess in turn leads to a resurgent left that does care, but I prefer the path with less Nazis. *analyzes methods of analysis and falls into own navel*
