Don't know if anyone in here is familiar with photonicinduction but he has reappeared online after a two year hiatus and is kicking off with blowing a 5000amp fuse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mGhhdPgXG8 In case you need an introduction, he's... interesting. I get slightly BNP vibes from some of the stuff he says but his incredible ability to pull insane power off the national grid in the service of blowing industrial electrical components into hot plasma is worthy of respect.

If someone were to say "I don't think climate change is real because a lot of leftists think it is." or "I don't think COVID-19 came from a lab because Nigel Farage said it did." Is that a logical fallacy? Which one would you consider it to be. I was think Appeal to Spite, but I'm not sure that fits.

Was having a little think about Islington North in the next General Election, whenever that might be. It seems unlikely, as it stands, that Corbyn is getting the Labour whip back. Do we think he'd stand as an independent in that case? And, would doing so result in him being kicked out of the Party as a member? You're not supposed to be able to remain in the party if you've campaigned for a non-party candidate, right? I feel like that's one of the possible reasons why he might not do it, other than being fairly old and not wanting to go through the absolute circus that it would involve either way.

In general it's a genetic fallacy, in that it's based on the origin of the argument.

Tesseraction posted:In general it's a genetic fallacy, in that it's based on the origin of the argument. It's like the difference between "Donald Trump proposed this medical treatment, so I don't trust it" and "Donald Trump also believes in this medical treatment, proposed by doctors, so I don't trust it". The they're both fallacies in the technical toga wearing debatebro sense, but distinct, because Donald Trump probably by statistical chance believes in some medicine that works, so it's fallacious to distrust boner pills just because he trusts them, but I'd be far more skeptical of trusting the random brainpoops he claims to have thought of. But yes, they're both forms of ad hominem attacking either the source or the associates.

I'd be very surprised if Keith is still leading Labour by the time we get that far. The next by-election looks like it'll be another loss for Labour, and that should probably be enough to get him chucked out of a window, politically.

starmer presumably doesnt really have any actual resentment for corbyn because hes kind of too pathetic to have that kind of strong opinion. So with minimal pressure applied in the right places surely corbyn has a way back in, he must have enough friends? If he wanted it that is. Like he was so lame at beating people up has he really made enemies with the people that actually know? The people that chucked him on the leaders ticket in the first place. Maybe they've learnt? LOL

the most depressing, and also the dumbest, outcome is that Corbyn never gets the whip back, so that's my guess there's a lawsuit about it ongoing i think so that will probably turn out to be a massive victory for Corbyn... in 2026 or so, when he has long since retired

sebzilla posted:Was having a little think about Islington North in the next General Election, whenever that might be. The local party overwhelmingly backs him, but I could see a quiet-but-hard conversation being had along the lines of "if it becomes a choice of standing down or standing as an independent, that puts all the rest of us in a very difficult position, and it could well end up like 1983 all over again, maybe it's best you stand down and focus on the Project for Peace and Justice, and then we can all concentrate on repelling the inevitable attempt to impose some idiot on us who if they somehow get in will only lose the seat to the Lib Dems or Greens". (Corbyn was first elected in 1983, standing as the official Labour candidate against two incumbent MPs: both John Grant for the SDP, whose Islington Central seat was being abolished, and Michael O'Halloran as Independent Labour, who left for the SDP with much less hesitation than Grant and was then unsurprisingly irked when Grant was selected for the seat he was currently holding.)

Communist Thoughts posted:Is there anyone for progress to replace him with? I imagine they'd have to be pretty sure to take that gamble The absolute dumbest timeline would be Labour puting up a blairite against him and dropping whatever cash they have left contesting the seat only for Corbyn to return an increased majority. So that's my assumption of what is going to happen.

It'll be interesting to see the centrists in Labour arguing that after Keith continues to have all the presence of a wet teatowel and leads the party to a more crushing defeat than Corbyn could have dreamed of, the answer will be to elect an even more triangulating, focus-grouped empty suit nerd. How do you even spin something when you've been proved wrong so many times? Things change and shitheads though they are they will have to adapt and stop cargo culting Blair eventually, because there'll come a point where their own cushy jobs are actually at risk. Probably not for a good while yet though. I really hope the unions withdraw funding and put their money towards a new party. A properly resourced actual left party doing organising and grassroots stuff alongside a decent media strategy could begin to make real inroads today, if it accepted that it wouldn't be winning and elections for a while. E: the absolute worst long term outcome next election would be an unconvincing win by labour under Starmer (or similar) due to the tories making GBS threads the bed, but I doubt that will happen because with the pandemic rhetoric and him claiming the successful nhs vaccine rollout happened because of rather than in spite of the government, I can see bojo locking things down for at least another round.

Constituency redistricting that massively benefits the Tories but also quietly eliminates Islington North and is therefore entirely unopposed by Labour

I looked into that legal defence fund for Corbyn thing from a while ago. They've got 370k sitting in a go fund me account but can't start a bank account for some reason? Because banks won't let new businesses start current accounts? Bit weird.

Maybe it's time for Biden to take full advantage of the fact that the UK's nuclear deterrent is not independent. (You can read this as either "and hobble all the missiles, making Britain look bad and weak" or "and turn Whitehall into a puddle of molten basalt that will hopefully solidify in an interesting pattern so that tourists enjoy taking photos on it in 50 years" if you wish.)

Most of the NMM stuff is kept at a separate off site place now. I think that, short of using one of the truly massive bombs, the archive would be fine. The British Library one has most of the same stuff on site, so it is probably stuffed yes, that is a problem.

I think the latter would be a far faster way to read every document archived at the British Library, since your options are either reading more documents or reducing the number of documents archived.
