That's definitely what people are doing and taking issue with rather than your persistent refusal to communicate properly even when it is clearly annoying everyone. Twisto that looks like another excellent informationpost and I will read it when my brain stands half a chance of taking in any of it properly.

thespaceinvader posted:There was a LOT of suspicion about this at the time from the queer circles I'm in on Facebook, and a lot of people were varying between a little concerned and absolutely terrified that this would erase the meaning of the rainbow flag from public life - and I can understand the terror, to be honest, especially as it wasn't just 'kids drawing rainbows' at the highest points of it, it was people buying literal pride flags and hanging them 'for the NHS'. And that means that the pride flag becomes less reliable as a way for queer people to find venues that we can be a little more sure of being accepted in. Thanks. Glad (in a way) that it wasn't just something I cynic-ed up but it's a shame that people were genuinely worried/terrified at the possibility - but the bolded bit is good. But it honestly wouldn't surprise me to find there was an ulterior motive to it. thespaceinvader posted:It's the kind of thing that would sound like conspiratorial horseshit, it being a planned ulterior motive to devalue the rainbow flag, if I wasn't such a complete cynic about literally everything at the moment when it comes to poo poo the right wing will do to wage culture war.

Communist Thoughts posted:anyone know any good books or media about this? Treasure Islands by Shaxson is a really good, very accessible book about how colonialism never actually ended, the capital streams were just diverted into finance, and it's written for a layperson to be able to understand. Would absolutely recommend it for anyone who sort-of-knows that The City Of London is one of the top ten most currently active evil institutions in human history but would like a few concrete arguments why to have in their back pocket.

ronya posted:that is orthodox Marxist patter on enclosures as an urbanization push factor... the question arises as to whether labour's quality of life actually decreased as urban migration accelerated under industrialization. Over time the debate has shifted in the opposite direction, especially since the 1980s - not only did real wages fail to decrease, and fail to even stagnate, across the 'long 19th century' all three of real wages, nutrition, and life expectancies all increased as industrialization set in. So urbanization as a pull factor is probably more salient the question arises as to whether there's more to quality of life than wages, nutrition and life expectancy

gh0stpinballa posted:my post was clearly discussing london as an economic hub kept afloat by money laundering for organized crime, which puts something of a dent in grand talk of its positive aspects yes but is necessary context. i said nothing at all about the normal people who live there. there is no need to lash out like this due to some sense of shame, i don't hold you or any other ordinary londoner responsible for the undeniable fact that it is a gigantic washing machine for blood money, "the most corrupt financial power in the world", as described by investigative journalist roberto saviano and proven in multiple investigations by e.g. antimafia prosecutors. “When I said ‘your mum’ I was obviously referring to the stereotypical role that female parents are forced into by the patriarchy, and the lack of respect given to child rearing by capitalist forces, something we should all be contemplating very seriously. And you really shouldn’t consider yourself responsible in any way for your mother’s own libertine sexual lifestyle.” London has existed in one form or the other for literally thousands of years, and it’s primary purpose is housing 9 million people, who at the last election fairly overwhelmingly voted for a government led by Jeremy Corbyn (a London MP), the only region in the country to do so. God knows financial crimes go on here, mainly in an area of a single square mile, home to almost no one. But capitalism happens everywhere, and if it wasn’t London, it would be somewhere else. Meanwhile, Londoners are often the most acute victims of these crimes, as the events at Grenfell Tower, for one example, show. E: Also, free Twisto, jesus that’s some low-quality modding.
