Is it too much to say I hope the troubles 2 find themselves at the British medias literal doorstep or do I need to go chill out for a bit

Edit: like, I can't be the only person who thinks the coordinated, cross media smear campaign is going to go down as a deeply criminal action?

all i can say is that if that happens lmao im not feeling sorry for them

I'm not british and I don't post here but I'm sad.

I'm not as left as some but I keep hoping that the sheer abhorent nature of the right wing parties in western democracies would get people to vote for a progressive government. Yeah Jez had flaws and had to contend with a hugely hostile media but at this point it really seems like the left is going to have to run an amazing candidate and somehow not gently caress anything up to beat these disgusting monsters

yet over on the conservative side they can gently caress everything up, run candidates who even their supporters think are braindead goldfish and still win somehow

which makes me sad because it seems like things are going to have to get a lot worse before they get better

people talk about the under-30s and the under-35s but even if the 45 and under set had been the only ones voting Corbyn would have run the table. the old people hosed you guys.

the next fight is definitely to keep the red tories from oozing back in, but given that a huge chunk of their leadership cadre split off into the CUK shed and then lost their seats, I think you can do this. sending you my leftist energy

I'm surprised people are talking about the future of the Labour party now. As opposed to, you know, how to immigrate to Ireland or raise chickens or stockpile medicine.

I admired Corbyn so goddamn much.

This was clearly about Brexit but me oh my even the BBC is nonsensically portraying this as a rejection of social democratic values.

tbh I think it really depends on what happens with Scotland. If they successfully break away then I think a lot of North Irish people are going to wonder why they're still stuck on the sinking ship with England and Wales.

Corbyn participated in the bourgeois farce of parliamentary elections and was a stinking social democrat, which is the left wing of fascism.

Also that person keeps saying many Jews were leaving the UK for Germany/France because of Labour, that's bullshit right

You accurately see the situation, but have inverted the conclusion. It's not bad, it's good: the worker is more precarious, more exploitable, and easier to extract from, they are split and more dependent then ever. Now normally this would mean these folks would be unable to afford an adequate standard of living, but if you stretch that system worldwide... creating tremendous downward pressure on certain goods, massive surplus labor populations focused on cities where the "industrial capitalism" went... folks maybe we can get some buy in, we may have something here.

so all these companies paying massive rent and wage bills are doing it for some potential future payoff?

The payoff is for the landlords, not the companies who have to pay out for rents based on insane property values. It's a necessity of doing business where capital is the most concentrated.

the same people who can't distinguish between nationalist-driven colonialism and nationalist-driven independence movements i guess

basically a whole bunch of people who want the left to eject the state as its first revolutionary act, not its last
