After a lot of thought i have decided i will be voting Labour. My constituency Dumfries and Galloway has been SNP and tory since it was created in 2005, i consider myself a Scottish nationalist not due to any hate of the English but because being bad at colonialism shouldn't result in my countrys natural resources being used to fund tax cuts for the wealthy or to fund the privatisation of our utilities. That said i would be delighted for it to be used for the benefit of everyone, tories are the obstruction here, the SNP can't stop them, so im for Labour. *poster reserves the right to continue to shitpost post GE.

Had everything from ‘why can’t they just put their heads together and Sort It Out’, through literal fascists, wannabe small businessmen going ‘I know I should vote labour but maybe I should look out for me’, young parents too busy and downtrodden to see any point in anything, to old people gleefully admitting they don’t give a gently caress about anything except getting their Brexit.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I don't think I have a single track recorded this decade. I'm old, IDGAF. My comfort tunes are definitely the usual old reliables. A lot of metal from the '80s & '90s metal, & my hip-hop tastes tend towards the older as well. Plenty of post-punk & hardcore from the '70s & '80s & all. But for me, I still get the raw excitement of listening to something new for the first time and being blown away. Just that first time listening to a record & knowing "oh gently caress, I'm still going to be spinning this in 2 decades time", it's an absolute delight. But also I'm lazy so I always end up with a massive backlog of stuff come December because keeping up with new releases is hard. So normally I just wait for all the end of year lists to come out and sample a bunch of them and see what sticks & it's usually a joy where I come across something entirely new to me. (The Bandcamp blog is real good) Like right now I'm playing American Pleasure Club & I have no idea where or who recommended this to me but it's this wild mashup of a shoegazey/dream pop vibe with really abrasive almost Death Grips style moments & it shouldn't work but it does and it's just drat nice. This is also the only time of the year I think about using Spotify more so their algorithms can get to know me enough to recommend new poo poo but effort. I really don't want to be "old fart who stubbornly insists there was no good music after Year X" like my dad.

Yeah I have a good friend in the UK that I've known for years who lives in St Albans. He tells me the entire cadre of boomers who are voting this election do not really trust or believe in the UK Government's ability to deliver on any of its promises including the majority of the Labor manifesto. He cites past failures to protect greenbelts, failure to deliver on promised investments in infrastructure and a lack of limits to migration. Basically I'm told migration, teen pregnancy (not sure how this falls into things) and a complete lack of faith in government has pushed the UK population into a chaotic state where everyone just wants Brexit really badly and that's it. So as boring and awful as it is, it seems "Get Brexit Done" is an effective campaign slogan that is carrying the Tories into an almost unprecedented majority a decade into their term. But above all else I really have to say I am severely disappointed in the media, especially the Guardian. It's horrifying just how much they're hammering away at this anti-semitism thing just to prevent good things from happening. I can totally see people getting pissed off and start mixing their hatred for the greedy landlords with Jewish people in general and then it all goes downhill from there.

I’ve found in the slightly wealthier areas I get a few people who tell me they’re not voting because of weird decorum related concerns (seriously) or ‘because they’ve done nothing for three years’, and though they’re very annoying to talk to I can usually embarrass them into at least considering Labour. In the really rough places they’re replaced mostly by Brexit oddballs, ‘they’re all the same mate’ or total apathy as you say. I find the last type the most draining on my morale

The media is a business like any other, it is self interested in its own existence above any other motivation and exists as a propagandist or flatterer for the bourgeoisie as a means of survival. Once we prove their internal and constantly self referencing narrative as incompatible with a fair and decent society it will be swept away and replaced by other means of sharing information and actually criticise the oppressive structures we live under. Sadly that's a real uphill struggle and a right pain in the arse to do.
