I read the novel when it came out and I thought the bit where he tries to get in with the modern-day neo-nazi movement but they kick the poo poo out of him because they think he's an Andy Kauffman-style piss-taking YouTube comedian was a pretty funny spin on how things would probably go.

I read it in German, which I'm near-native in, and it was hard going - just because it's written in the first person, and therefore in very fancy formal language (I guess like Hilter wrote in?), where you don't find until the end of the very long sentence what verb is actually being used, out.

It might be a popular policy but it's bad for capital so the answer is no. That's what Labour's game is. It doesn't matter if they win or not, they exist to mark the leftmost point for acceptable political ideas.

Yeah, it makes sense as soon as you look at it through the lens of the Establishment parties being there to sustain the status quo rather than reflect the wishes of the voters. So what if there's been a solid majority for renationalisation for years and years: the billionaires don't want it, so it's not on the agenda. gently caress you plebs: have some more austerity instead.

A verb though, "out" isn't.

It's the second half of the phrasal verb "find out". Rewrite it using a word like "discover" instead.

Yeah I mean that's the thing isn't it. Businesses/sectors which actually justify their own existence easily by being a public good mostly don't have to get involved in giving large amounts of money to politicians. It's the ones that are dodgy as poo poo, inherently exploitative, terrible value or bad for the population in general (so gambling, landlords, polluters, privatisers etc.) who do, and subsequently that's what's behind every bloody mainstream politician barring like 5-10 in the UK.

My favourite bit in the Truss reacting to the fall clip is after she recovers, she side-eyes Rishi and then slowly moves towards the body. Some real "did she drink the poisoned water glass meant for me?" vibes

So it's an adverb then.

Mostly joking I see your point, but in say Latin you'd still put the verb part last.

Imagine the most absurd way you can realistically think of to own your posting enemies on the internet. It is more absurd than that. The sheer force of retaliation combined with the utter improbability of having the material components to hand. Just unfathomable, you could never expect it.
