I really do hate that increasingly large amounts of governments world wide seem to believe that they exist for the sole reason of ignoring what their own constituents ask of them and that the idea of "doing something" is seen as something inherently daft.

Neoliberal decline may have ruined politics by allowing every social matter to be poisoned by the false easy rhetoric of personal responsibility, no matter how inaccurate, but we only have ourselves to blame.

Feels like the white guy is the ultimate punchline of that bit though, although it is a bit "heh they talk silly". I'm not a fan of his stuff but I didn't think he built a lot of racial stuff into his sets. But if he's gonna defend Carr then he can get in the bin too idc

I missed Jimmy Carr's execution, will it be on the BBC iPlayer to catch up? Could do with a giggle.

So while it's an overall defence of "comedy that offends", he didn't specifically do go to bat for his good mate/early model Terminator, Jimmy Carr.

What did Carr do? His stuff has always been on the line for crass and way too many rape/paedo jokes for someone who looks like him so I'm not surprised he went beyond.

the entire history of European post-war social democracy should tell you that it is an incredibly bad idea to affix one's hopes to a social democratic party, not least one that is explicitly called the Social Democrats in conclusion, socialism or barbarism e: vv meh, you've got me there vv Venomous fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Feb 8, 2022 |

I will vote for SocDems in the hope that they can partake in a broad SF-led coalition with leftist tendencies (not that SF are especially leftist in a European sense). But I don't really expect them to hang tough if FFG offer them something good to support another Grand Coalition. Labour and Greens are just hosed tho

soc dems gave us that baldy prick but most of their other candidates are solid centre leftists. I wish they were more left than they are but they're way better than labour. I could see them going into government with SF over FF/FG/+whatever

He conned me, and so many others into electing a loving FIANNA FAIL TD. BURN IN HELL STEPHEN DONNELLY YOU ABSOLUTE SACK OF poo poo!!! edit: I speculated a while ago about whether Donnelly was either an idiot or a narcissist, and watching that clip, I think he's a delusional idiotic narcissist. He thinks he can change fianna fail from the inside, single-handedly. He's a very limited, not very bright person, who has convinced himself he can change a long- established, cunning, ugly party to make it 'different'.

The Question IRL posted:The last time there was an "anyone but Simn Fein" scramble in the Dail, they were asked and they said no. I'm not saying "everything is bad" or whatever I'd just encourage voting for the larger left wing party (SF) ahead of the soc dems or voting for a more left wing party (PBP or whoevers local).

Beware some of those left wing parties will betray you in office. It even seems like SF are softening on Vulture funds since getting nearly elected. Maybe behind the scenes lobbying going on.

Yeah, this argument is kinda moot due to STV. Put the smaller party first and if they don't meet the quota it goes to the bigger party. Put the bigger party first and your vote might go to the smaller party on transfers but there is no guarantee. My preference last GE was PBP first because they are the furthest left and I spoke to my local candidate who addressed my concerns with them (mostly supporting a vote for Brexit in the North, even if it was from a left-wing criticism of the EU that I don't disagree with). She didn't get in so my vote went to the local SF candidate, then the other SF candidate, the the Green representative. We had no SocDems candidate and I was hardly going to give a vote to Labour. No decent independents in the area either.
