That #10 bullshit rings horrifyingly true. On the plus side, my uncle came down over the weekend and through an evening of booze and jazz I think I talked him out of joining Extinction Rebellion and into voting for Labour. So  Anyway, have a guardian article about just how stupid the idea of a fantasy football government of national unity is: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/07/fantasy-national-unity-government-gift-brexiters-second-referendum "Tom Kibasi writes in a personal capacity". Because we wouldn't want to besmirch that editorial line. E: Comments are wildly entertaining, even for the guardian. RockyB fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Oct 7, 2019 |

Guavanaut posted:Yeah I guess it's a preparation thing. That's why mushroom ketchup was a thing (and you can still get it and it's amazing for preparing Sunday roasts) and also why people initially always prepared tomatoes into ketchup in some parts because they were convinced that the raw ones were poisonous. Raw tomatoes are powerfully poo poo though. let them actually go red and they're good, salt and oil on 'em if you need it! the cultural thing makes sense though: Swedish style: I will carefully research this and prepare any edible parts in a delicious way UK style: *stuffing entire thing into face* PROJECT FEAR

Tomatoes are the best thing ever and it's the one silver lining of being a species of insane fucks that just went around eating poisonous things until we stopped dying from it Same with coffee and spicy peppers, we just took something that nature made to keep us away and turned it into pleasure Pochoclo fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Oct 7, 2019 |

Just reading an article by Vince Cable https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-referendum-final-say-referendum-violence-leavers-a9145941.html (Shan't copy it here) but he wrote this "foreshadow an imaginary, all-out civil war if passports are not blue by 1 November." This led me to ponder: If everyone who was bothered was issued with a blue passport, how many brexiteers would think we had actually brexited because what difference do they imagine brexit will make to their lives? As all bad effects are dismissed as project fear, then the only observable effect in many of their eyes would in fact be the blue passport.

I've been saying, ever since Leave won, all Cameron had to do was go to Juncker and Tusk and say, "look, can we just tell everyone we've left the EU, but not actually do it?" But no. He resigned in order to spend more time with his swine and let people who actually thought going through with it was the plan take over.

There are also these two beauties: "Our legal advice is clear...Different lawyers see the “frustration principle” very differently"- Clear as mud then? "countries which oppose delay will go the front of the queue...on things both within and outside EU competences"- So countries within the EU, for whom the EU negotiates collectively, some are going to the front of the queue and some to the back then?

why can't xtinction rebellion just be like ok? SO before they didnt do anything, now theyre doing a bit. Maybe later they'll do more? UNless they're like a secret counter protest group setup to drag people down to be less protesty? It seems kind of fine? And people on the internet moaning about it are basically the epitome of critics being hypo.

They sometimes come into more radical actions and demos with their hippy nonsense and talk to cops, despite being told over and over not to talk to loving cops. Parts of XR Youth and a few other XR groups are pretty great, but general XR sucks a lot of money and energy into ineffective action. Good for tying up police resources and a good place to recruit people into more radical groups though. Also hosed up to encourage people to get arrested blocking roads - realistically they should be doing things like shutting down power stations, the offices of oil companies, etc. Hitting them where it really hurts. They also promote the idea that we don't have to end capitalism - which is frankly harmful nonsense and might literally end up getting us all killed (and is already killing millions in the Global South).

NotJustANumber99 posted:Has there been much effective action on climate change? There's been some really cool effective stuff around fracking, and there's some decent anti-HS2 stuff right now. Don't get me wrong, on balance I'm glad XR is a thing - they're just also a bit insufferable sometimes and need to actually engage with politics (not in the parliamentary sense). Saying the climate change struggle is 'above politics' is just so laughably and pathetically naive that it makes it hard for a lot of proper lefties to take them seriously. It is good fun to start gently caress the police chants at XR events and watch the middle class centrists get all mad at least.

Cumming's approach is powerfully dumb, especially if he doesn't realise that the 'differing opinions' of lawyers won't mean poo poo when it's the supreme court that decides. Of course the government can find lawyers that agree with them, they're paying them.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Has there been much effective action on climate change? If they all spent their time and money and effort campaigning for Labour we might be carbon neutral as a country by 2030. XR's stated target is 2025 but they have no actual formal plans on how to get there beyond "declare a climate emergency" (which Corbs has done) and "citizens assembly to monitor progress" which is meaningless.
