Going into the toilets at work after lunch is like a scene out of Backdraft. As I found moving up here, people either are vegetarian, or don't eat vegetables.

That Torygraph article is like Modern Conservative Values Bingo. 1) The creepy, fashy idea (seen also as a justification for austerity, Brexit and a whole lot else) that the modern world is too soft and decadent and we (the people who write these things never actually mean We, they mean Other/Poorer people) need to have a bit of hardship back in their lives for their own good. I heard this deployed re:Brexit in a "that's all just project fear but even if it did happen it would be a good thing, modern generations are too pampered with their holidays, exotix fruits and iphones...' way. I was gonna say it's amazing that there's now political currency in literally saying 'We Will Make Things Worse' but people only actually hear 'We Will Make Things Worse For People Not Like You', which is as old as the hills. 2) The weird disconnect between conservative policies and their outcomes. Guess what? Four decades of pushing an individualistic, self-centred, short-termist, no-such-thing-as-society ideology leads to people being less altruistic, communal and outward-looking than they might have been in the 50s and 60s. Surprise! This is just that thing where modern (Thatcher onwards) conservative economic policy is directly hostile to the older social side of conservatism that a lot of the party's voters still think is part of its core values. Hence the appeal of the Big Society, where you could replace social services with charity bake sales on the village green. Except that no one has time to bake, no one knows their neighbours personally and the village green has been sold to Persimmon.

Maybe if we keep destroying society then people will build their own to replace it in times of hardship that we created.

Boris Johnson is backing the UK out of the European Patent Court, which we agreed to join last year (signatory: Johnson, B). Nobody was consulted, least of all UK patent lawyers who were quite looking forward to us hosting one of the three planned courts.

Like Biden got smashed by the under thirties or whatever the demographic is but the last thing people want is a bunch of snot nosed kids telling them they've been doing it all wrong all this time. If Bernie was less popular with young voters it might actually serve him better overall, as it is Biden seems to have provided an easy out for people. I don't get this. Why don't older people ever seem to want to change/ improve? If someone was telling me something was wrong I would at least listen.

It would mean them, even subconsciously, acknowledging that a lot of they've done and voted for in the last 20-40 years (certainly in the post-cold-war period) was at least in some measure wrong. That a lot of the certainties they were raised with, and many of the things that brought them to the current level of (relative, not everyone etc etc) comfort was on the back others who got shafted. You know how hard that is for people?

They think they know how 'the system' works (or have been boiling frogged into it) but change brings uncertainty which means mental energy having to be spent on yet another thing. I have always thought that the Thatcherite 'freedoms' (choose your kid's school, choose your hospital, choose your GP, choose your dentist etc), worrying about pensions, or your funeral costs and so on, is about keeping people so bogged down in daily minutiae that they don't have the mental energy to be worrying about what their Lords and Masters are up to. If you could send your kids to any school, go to any hospital, get NHS treatment at any dentist, and all those services were very good in every place, your mind would be freed up.

Because you don't get to be old, generally, by doubting yourself. Most people get there by cruising around on autopilot their entire lives and never actually being challenged on their dumb impulses. You are an uncommonly self questioning person.

It's easier to assume things are just fine, so you never have to question anything - including your own attitudes and choices. It gives you a pass to ignore anything you don't like (it's/they're wrong), to be as mean or uncaring as you like (it's their own fault they deserve it), and never feel really challenged or responsible or like you're ignorant of anything we have a culture that impresses a bunch of behaviours on people as they grow up - admitting you're wrong means you're flawed, not knowing a thing is a weakness, knowing your place and being content with your lot and never demanding more. That's changed over time, which is why people from older generations get scared and angry when that reality they've grown up with gets challenged by younger generations who don't seem to accept all this stuff and behave according to it. Not only is it hard to accept these ideas, there's also the fact that it opens up the possibility that you're wrong and didn't know things which are ideas they've been conditioned to reject So there's a lot of cognitive dissonance there and the easy out is to just smile and say nope, it's all good, lazy millennials it's their own fault etc. Someone was posting in the Super Tuesday thread about this idea that when someone promises young people the electoral opportunity to change things and make their lives better, their parents and grandparents will turn out in force to crush them. And I think there's something to that, there's an forceful reaction that happens when a narrative starts to get traction, and it's not just about fighting for a particular political ideology - it's a response to a changing world too, people fighting to keep themselves at the centre of it

Sorry if this has been thoroughly discussed, I'm always about 50 pages behind in this thread. I've got my ballot for the leadership vote and I'm not sure what happens if you leave someone off your list? Will not placing Starmer anywhere mean he doesn't get any points or does it just put him as my 3rd choice?

I think it just means that if your first choice loses the round, and you haven't put a second or third choice, then there are fewer votes going into second / third round. I just put RLB - couldn't decide between Nandy or Starmer. So just means if RLB doesn't get through round 1, that's it for my leader votes. (I still think Starmer will win round 1 because of all the £25 entryists).
