Every form of sustenance can be both posh and proletarian. It is only when viewed through the lens of class consciousness that we may determine our tendency
Bread cheese and meat: Maccy D's quarter pounder or an artisanal charcuterie platter.
Port and blue cheese: posh. Port and blue WKD: Cheeky vimto.
We must cast all these aside and instead feast on morsels plucked from the garbage can of ideology.

Unless you're eating cold beans from a tin you're not displaying sufficient class consciousness, but if you own your own house and eat cold beans from a tin it's cultural appropriation.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm middle class too. It's just pretty funny when this thread becomes a self parody and starts talking about cheese and wine nights or burning £50 notes in front of homeless people or whatever it is you people get up to in your free time.
If having a cheese plate after pudding at Christmas dinner is extremely middle class then where does nan bringing a trifle fall?

Is that bourgeois expropriation of her domestic labor by the custard eating class?

If its a trifle that has more then 3 fruits in it, guillotine.
Or hand made sponge cake.

Proper working class trifle is made from white bread and 2 fruit max (tin of fruit cocktail allowed).

Because I'm not having a trifle with two loving raspberries in it.

Guys, I'm sure that in the two hours where she was offline Weetman had a moment of serious self-reflection and decided that posting all day isn't good for her, mental health, that its better to be humble than condescending and that there are a lot of things that she needs to learn about politics in Britain that she won't be able to glean from Comment Is Free.

I can't imagine that shes returned just because she has absolutely nothing else to do.

Ancient Greek philosophy starts off great with questioning techniques and a raising of self awareness, but there's just something about Europeans that makes us go from "wow we did a good thing" to "we should rule over everybody because this good thing makes us better than everybody".

Dude, that's just about any philosophy that ever got boosted by the upper class of anywhere.

Guavanaut posted:

The worst philosophy for this just by it's sheer magnitude has to be Liberalism though, in all its ideology-free rational hands-off while millions die glory.

In some regards, liberalism is quite on the money with its conclusion of "nothing matters lol". When someone power hungry ends up in charge it's trivial to dig up an arbitrary philosophy to justify having more power, or to just pretend that the philosophy of being humble and knowing your limits means you should humiliate others to impress upon them their limits with extreme prejudice.

labour in a minority government would probably not be able to pass anything, a majority of labours MPs oppose corbyn's platform let alone the tories and LDs so i'm not sure that a minority labour government would be a good government anyway

It wasn't last time that happened, but the second General Election in 1974 did give them a majority. I would expect things to go much the same way this time, except if Labour can point at the SNP's effective refusal to go into coalition and ensuing opposition to a left wing Labour platform then this time the majority will come at the cost of the nationalists.

I'm really not the only one

every time we have this argument there are many more votes for banning her than there are to keep posting her but we never get any actual ruling from a mod

so every couple of days we have to go through the whole loving routine again because some people just love indulging their hatecrushes or think that a specific "self-own" is worth sharing to the entire thread, when anyone who actually loving cares has already seen it because it's not actually that difficult to type www dot twitter dot com slash francesweetman
