Did he? I remember there were two almost interchangeable teen guys who tried the right wing pundit grift. One of them was working class and the other much wealthier, and iirc the working class one obviously got dropped the second he stopped being useful and ended up back in his mum's house living on twitter. Ofc the wealthier one was fine, I guess that must be the guy you mention. I just find something desperately sad about them all, particularly the useful idiot working class ones who we all know are being laughed at constantly even by their ostensible supporters behind the scenes.

I don't even think they experience cognitive dissonance, I think they simply operate on an entirely different way of thinking, I don't think right wing people look at the world and reasonably decide based on observation that it works a certain way, and update that view in response to new information, I think generally they just do whatever is most immediately emotionally satisfying, and so their politics are storybook and everything ties into whatever pet idea they are attached to in whatever way is convenient. The whole worldview provides an endless stream of emotional validation, that's the main point of it.

Yeah, Harwood was the one with connections to get himself on every major news channel with his campaign to become NUS president that received <5% of the votes. Craftywank Grimes is the one who was out in the cold for a while but they seem to have taken him back in.

ThomasPaine posted:A very tiny part of me feels kinda sorry for the handful of edgy right wing teenagers who keep getting buttered up by the reactionary media. We all had our dumbass Exceptionally Wrong phases back in the day but while were mostly allowed to forget it they never will. Social media is one part of this, but they're actually being courted and made to feel as if they're respected, serious political commentators by ideologically driven outlets desperate for young people who'll push the right line. They have no idea how little anyone outside of that tiny bubble takes them seriously. When they get a few years behind them and realise how dumb they've been being it's going to be brutally humiliating for them to look back on it all and realise how silly they actually looked and how nakedly they were being cynically lied to and exploited. that was me and that's how it went, yes

happyhippy posted:Just came into my head there, what about Eurovision this year and Ukraine? Ukraine asks EBU to ban Russia from Eurovision and suspend its membership from the broadcasting union Belarus is no longer allowed to compete at Eurovision, so Russia wouldn't even be the first. I expect some wags would say "the UK should be banned for having boring songs" or "every country should be banned" or something. Edit: and I don't know about "all 12s", but from what I can tell, the Ukrainian song seems to be fairly popular on its own merits. I like it. I wish the UK would send something more folk music based, but we're probably going to send something like an unremarkable Dua Lipa impersonation.

Everything hosed me up as a child, especially Animals of Farthing Wood and Blake's 7. Christ alive British TV was grim in the 70s and 80s, it's like they mandated every filmed drama had to be set in a rundown brutalist nightmare or a quarry.

It’s the most disturbing thing I have ever seen I saw it when it was first shown, when Reagan was going full Jack D Ripper. I was 8. The next day they tested the London flood alarms - which are the same as the HANDEL air-raid warning system. There's a reason for my almost pathological need to know about nukes and their effects.

This would be loving stupid. Sanctions that impact ordinary people in Russia will be spun by Putin as "the evil West destroying your life". Just take Putin's money and then do the same to all of his friends and backers.
