I was about to go WHAT to that Poll, but its for London so of course.

Also I think Brown Moses needs to do what all of us need to do, sit around for a bit and think about ideological blind spots/ things we don't know as much about.

It's one of the reasons I dislike twitter in that it's considered a good idea to just post everything all the time.

This is genuinely pathetic, and I strongly empathise with the frustration Postol shows. Sometimes someone is so bad at debating that they fail to even understand how badly they are losing. Thank you for the demonstration, Brown Moses.

BM's debating tactics: talk over everybody, refuse to answer any questions and instead spin your own barely related questions that demonstrate your own failure of understanding, go for constant ad hominems, use airquotes to ridicule the word 'science', appeal vaguely to authorities that you try to avoid naming, load your voice with scorn and when you hear "one at a time, please" assume "oh, that must mean me!"

He apparently wasn't lying being "about to vote Labour" as he posted a few minutes ago, he *just* sent off his postal ballot. And then you probed him.

Well I found an indie journo type who also thought it was proper shite (that person was AAV - Another Angry Voice, who makes leftie memes on FB to share and flood boomers with .etc), and pictures of that leaflet + talking about how evil it is to scare people who don't have a lot of money, via a fake bill, have now been shared 1.6k times.

THUNDERDOME LOSER 2021
A letter came through the door today.

quote:


Better hospitals. Safer streets. Improved schools. Let's unlock Britain's future.

The last few years have been frustrating. I get it. I've been just as frustrated as you.

We've had nearly three years of a hung parliament that agrees on nothing except more arguments.

But we don't have to go on like this. Together we can end the doom and gloom.

This country needs a majority government. And you can secure it with your vote.

The great thing about a majority government is that it can get stuff done. And that's exactly what we'll do.

Passing our Brexit deal - which is agreed and ready to go from day one. It protects jobs and trade. It means we can leave the EU by the end of January. And it means we can get on with the country's priorities.

£33.9 billion extra for the NHS. So your local hospital and local GPs can give you the healthcare you need.

20,000 extra police officers. With the powers they need to keep us safe.

More funding for every pupil in every school. So your child gets a better education.

And a growing economy that creates jobs and pays for our public services.

Let's put the last three years behind us. Let's get on with the country's priorities.

Britain has spent too long going nowhere, spinning round in a hamster wheel of doom. That's why your role in this election is a huge one. Because you can get us out of it.

Your vote can secure a majority government - if you vote Conservative. Last time we were just NINE seats short of a majority. This election will be just as close.

So I'm asking you to use your vote for the Conservatives.

Let's end the delays. Let's get on with the country's priorities. And let's unleash Britain's potential.

Yours sincerely,

Boris Johnson
Prime Minister

My brother had a whinge about being blocked by that guy, something to do with calling him a crank for posting things about 'welsh council workers controlling the media'. He backed Yvette Cooper for leader though so I'm generally sympathetic to whoever he's opposing.

I kind of love that advert, in the same way I have a soft spot for Rocky IV. It's pure hegemony, they didn't even bother cutting it with 'nothing matters' or 'self depreciation' before putting it out on the street.

Listening to other people, mostly. And also a basic willingness to properly introspect, which is a skill the vast majority of people don't have (and would consider it a grave insult that they might be asked to learn it)

So not what BM did lol
