0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Same as anything that needs cashflow to function - they won’t be able to do anything.

Mass dissaffiliation from the remaining unions would own and would probably the most important thing that could happen in British politics in terms of taking baby steps towards changing things for the better.

Got it. I'm just wondering how likely that is. If they keep going on TV and being dicks how long is it before all the unions stop giving them money and we end up with a newer Labouring party?

Yeah they are just absolute loving cretins.

I think part of why liberals jizz so much about how amazingly competent everybody in charge is that their brains would explode if they realised just what an absolute fuckwit every single person in any position of power actually is. Realising this also makes you think that sortition would likely be better at producing good outcomes than picking whatever prick's Dad knows the right people to lead us (i.e. how it's done right now)

Genuinely agree. I rag on/am very bitter about the Grate Britane Public, but gently caress it, overall they agree with the strikes, want nationalisation, and are unsympathetic to terfery, which puts them ahead of 95% of the shits in Parliament.

Brexit still providing great benefits lols

quote:

On 23 June 2016, Geoffrey Betts, the managing director of a small office supplies business in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, had high hopes for his firm, and the British economy, when he voted for Brexit.

“I thought we would be like … ‘here we go, here we go. We are going to become the most competitive country in Europe and we are going to be encouraging business.’ Now I think: ‘What have we done?’”

How do these business owners think that not having frictionless trade with the massive econemy next door would be a good idea :confused:

At least the Netherlands appears to be doing well with the British businesses setting up there to avoid the effects of the thing they voted for.

As she says, recruitment is rising at older universities. So surely this is humanities students shifting from one university to another, not that they are going to be denied the opportunity to study them?

This is still bad - free market competition in the universities sector lowers standards because uni's care more about numbers through the door and keeping them from failing rather quality or standards of education, which also means they care less about research (especially humanities research which doesn't bring in grant money) because it's not directly profit-making. But this sounds more about recruitment squeeze by expandition of universities with more cultural capital than end results.

Universities are also slowly being cordycepted by the parasite of management courses. Because when a particularly bright humanities student graduates, if they get a position at the uni, it's teaching. When a particularly bright management / business student* graduates, senior management snap them up.

So when it comes time to allocate resources or decide which courses get cut, you have a room full of soulless briefcase wankers who think a subtext is something you send your boss at 3am to get a promotion.

*E: no, I see it now. I mean one who scored highly on the right tests, if they were actually bright they would be doing a real job.
