tbf I think that's a question of resources as much as anything. It certainly is possible to get people onto better paths through more beneficent means, but as long as we have a lovely capitalist society loving everything up, that's going to be little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke, at best.

e; gosh hecking darn it

In 67AD, the apostles Peter and Paul would be martyred in Rome. Sadly, this wouldn't stop the ultimate erosion of the cool religions.

I admit to knowing nothing about negotiating international trade deals but would their level of friendship actually have anything to do with it? I'd have thought it would have been handled by a load of experts and then those two would declare it an amazing deal even if it was poo poo.

The experts involved will include lots and lots of lobbyists seeking to protect their market share while tearing down any "red tape" elsewhere. Any agreement will include painful political choices that'll need to be accepted by parliamentarians that seek to protect and promote the business interests in their respective duck ponds, knowing full well they'll be held responsible for voting in favour of something that's perceived to gently caress over their constituents. Even agreeing to include something as potentially negotiable will be hugely controversial, there's basically gently caress all that can be done without cutting off some very choice powers over domestic social and economic policy.

Other than that you're right afaik on how any deal will be sold to the public, if they ever manage to put something on paper. but there's too much attention on this to work out that way

Looking forward to the tail-between-the-legs look on the remaining gammons on the occasion of the English & Welsh EU Accession of 2041 where we are just another rando country with no special considerations instead of one of the three top dogs with an awful lot of concessions and a huge say.

If Scotland don't veto us ofc :laugh:

Most of the things the UK used that huge say for was protecting tax havens and forcing expansion.

This discussion all got very metaphysical but isn't this way too pessimistic? Aren't there plenty of charities that are successful in turning people away from gang violence etc.? Think there are some counter-extremism ones also?

I'm using this to glibly refer to the work of world destroying ultracapitalists and not to normal people making hard / poorly informed choices in poo poo circumstances like gang members etc.
