It's called a fool's paradise because only fools believe in neoliberalism. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

sinky posted:They are doing more austerity because there are still some institutions it didn't destroy. They've got 2 years to get what's left. that's just not very good public stewardship, at least imo. destroying social institutions - and then very likely having to build them up from nothing at a later stage - is considerably harder and more expensive than keeping them alive by alloting appropriate resources on a long-term and reliable basis. quote:I think it is important that we look at a state which is extremely large, and look at how we can make sure that it is in full alignment with a lower tax economy. it's weird how the tories' pitch is always 'we want to make things worse for almost everyone' and voters either don't get that they're part of that almost everyone, or they figure that they can take it as long as it means someone else gets worse hosed than them.

Well they just won't do the building them up from nothing at a later stage part I think. That's the plan at least, also any other future government that tries to do that, they can loudly heckle from the sidelines if they do try.

And then the news like today is filled with people who've just left establishment roles so don't mind going on the record, or MPs not too close to power, or supposedly shocked Tory voters saying "I can't believe the politicians would do this, it's not right" but somehow never saying "Oh, this is what I have supported/enabled/voted for (and will do again)". It's such an enraging arrogance and blindness that Tory voters seem to have, where even things that now affect them that they have actively supported and voted for, are somehow someone else's fault. See also: the entire media class.

A friend linked me this unfiltered rant in the MEN, anyone know what's going on here?quote:A former member of Stockport Momentum, Coun Wynne now describes himself as a ‘cult survivor’ and believes he is being ‘purged at any cost’ as ‘retribution’. He also accuses Mr Mishra of being busy ‘setting up the conditions for a toytown revolution in Stockport, the next step being control of the Stockport Labour group of councillors’. A moderate councillor getting unspeakably mad at not being selected is nothing new, but it seems to have the backing of the party bureaucracy and former Corbyn guy Nav Mishra is a Starmer whip.

It's a lot harder for all this to get you down when you aren't trying to convince yourself things aren't going to poo poo. I can focus on the things I want to do instead of getting angry about things I can't fix. Also not "him".

Bobby Deluxe posted:It relies on everyone raised on Thatcherite individualism thinking "well it'll never hit me" and then by the time it does, all of the other people thinking it'll never hit them rally round to come up with reasons why its the victims fault, and coming up with completely derranged things they could have done differently, like living off porridge. I'd have thought it was spite and resentment, that's a hell of a drug. individualism is mostly placebo really

There's still a lot to sell off. We have the 8 'freeport' zones that are going to be sold off to random 'global companies'. We still have MOD and HMP real estate that can be sold and released back or redeveloped. There's a huge chunk of the NHS to sell off too. There's still a load of equity tied up in private pensions and real estate that need to be grabbed before they are forced out of power. etc etc etc fuctifino fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Oct 1, 2022 |

Investing in stocks and shares ISAs and buying the market with the lowest fees possible is a good place to put money if you have it. It's a long term investment that will definitely fluctuate (mine has gone down by a few % this year) so best to invest and forget about it until retirement.

the ISA is only as good as the allowance goes though, if you suddenly make a mil on the markets it doesn't really matter. Personally I'd rather not have my monies in any locked in contracts with banks at the moment because *spoiler* they're going to trade it away and then tell you that you can't have it back or limit you to £50 withdrawals a month or something stupid because Banks are a cancer.
