I left SA for a few years because it was making me sad, but I got sucked back into it when the Donkey Kong stream happened and I couldn't believe SA was... good? Again? Then I came in here and saw the change in mood was cos you threadbanned Pissflaps. Oh yeah, I transitioned somewhere in there too, that's relevant, I guess.

OwlFancier posted:Apropos of nothing but my slow trek through daniel kahn's back catalogue of old yiddish songs brilliantly translated to english, I have discovered a song that puts We Have Fed You All For A Thousand Years to shame in terms of being dark as hell. 'Oy Division' is absolutely incredible. What a pun. That alone should cause any antisemite to go "Oh wait poo poo no Jews are great actually", even Jeremy Corbyn! This song bangs, too. HoI4 has trouble simulating the True Nazi Experience because it casts you as a kind of gestalt overmind of the country you play as (same as most others in the strategy genre) which inherently makes it difficult to handle things like, well, how the nazis actually acted. The authentic experience would see you trying to fight when five different companies are providing your fighters*, all badly flawed in some way, and all without interchangable parts and ammo. 60% of your Me-109s are lost to crashes because the thing requires extremely skilled pilots but the boys they send you have 20 hours in their log books. Meanwhile the supplies have ended up three hundred miles away, for reasons you may be able to fix, or not, or may not even be able to find out - but a significant proportion is going to move people to the camps, and anything made by slave labour is of low quality to begin with, even when it's not deliberately sabotaged. You troops straight up don't have clothing suitable for any time after September. The SS is running around doing whatever bullshit and could have you executed at any time for any reason or none. You get moved to the West and the Western Allies are obviously coming for Normandy but you're in Calais and the Fuhrer won't allow you to relocate. The nazis were one of the most dysfunctional societies ever, and could have been no other way. The only remarkable thing was that they managed to roll a few nat 20s in the late thirties that gave them momentum. *Only three make planes, one makes cars, and one decided to branch out from making novelty ceramics.

I think the Queen probably gets along with people who 1) Don't treat her as a deified image of Her Maj and 2) Probably would be on the same side during the war. Which none of the other spivs and poo poo heads would be over the past 40 years would be. Alongside that I've been out meeting up with a friend, they are going through a similarly tough time and have been talking about Socialism in a positive way, so that is good.

This song bangs, too. It is and it does, also lyrically would probably make a pretty excellent death metal song. Honestly it's great discovering this basically parallel set of excellent historical leftist music which is easily on par with if not better than the stuff in the IWW songbook.

The queen is dead. The government are keeping it a secret until the election is over and a suitable wait for things to have calmed down. Gibbo has been dragged away by the secret queen ninjas. We will never see or hear from Gibbo again.

The Max Gapes extended universe is going hard on selling "senior sources say she' ll resign" and a Chuka leadership bid right now. Seems to be getting traction, I will laugh my arse off this is the second thing after Squirrels that Swinson has to deny in mainstream media. In other news David Graeber, author of the article "Stop talking about Jews it's dangerous" has a new video out called "Stop loving talking about Jews dick heads you're going to get us all killed by fascists" https://twitter.com/davidgraeber/status/1201950245804027904 Watch the media ignore it like every other pro-Corbyn Jewish thing.

The blitz spirit is mostly invoked by people that didn't live through it, or if they did were well enough off so as not to be materially affected as far as I can tell.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Ok, so these are the two relevant pages of the manifesto: Thanks for the big effort reply, and for calming my nerves a little. Honestly, I expected the launch of the disability manifesto to be more bold and radical than this, which at first glance reads like "we'll change the names, keep the assessments, and it will just magically be better because it's Labour doing it". I still don't understand the point of assessments at all if they're just going to look at medical evidence and agree with it, and so I'm suspicious that the Blairite wing won't use that as an opening to keep some element of testing as part of the process. We are, after all, still talking about electing a party with a significant right-wing element, and if we're going to rely on charitable interpretation of the manifesto then we might be setting ourselves up for disappointment. This also makes me nervous: Breaking Down Barriers posted:a personalised, holistic assessment framework that provides each individual with a tailored plan, building on their strengths and addressing barriers because they're not being clear about who will determine the end goal of this plan. I expected to be excited and motivated by the release of this document, because the manifesto was worryingly light on details. Instead this has really knocked the wind out of me, and I'm worrying about how this survives contact with a bunch of PLP shits who thought a pharma lobbyist was good party leader material. e: this is the document I'm quoting btw https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Breaking-Down-Barriers.pdf Tarnop fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Dec 4, 2019 |

If he is voted out, it would lead to a unsupported Government and a General Election... Even if Murphy got non-con FG would probably have huffed and puffed and just put down a confidence motion in the government and got FF to back them on that because Martin has been pretty clear he didnt care about this vote and he doesn't really want an election until after Easter (and any enthusiasm FG had for an early election evaporated with the byelections). In summation Ireland will have an election sometime next year when FF and FG politely agree that maybe they should have a vote now sure it's the done thing

Someone posted about the Tory councilor fleeing the Lewes hustings earlier, but the full details are amazing: https://twitter.com/murphy_simon/status/1201955433302372354 quote:However, when she left via the fire escape she found herself outside in a dead end as the school gates were locked. Rather than trudging back through the packed hall to get out, she pondered her predicament for up to 45 minutes before opting to climb over the fence.

If it is it's probably only grammatically, so you'd be saying like "I see nothing here" instead, latin grammar is dumb.

Oh dear me posted:Unemployment benefit was turned into Jobseekers allowance in 1996, Blair went on about handup not handout in 1999. The downside is that unemployment support might still probably be vulnerable to lovely blairite ideology, but hopefully the 'guaranteeing a minimum standard of living' part will help. Tarnop posted:e: this is the document I'm quoting btw https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Breaking-Down-Barriers.pdf * Though as previously mentioned, some physical disability campaigners can still be pricks about learning difference / mental illness, so hopefully it's consulted on by the relevant disabilities.
