Ignoring this post

Diet Crack posted:

You did the right thing - people shouldn't have cats if they can't accept that poo poo is going to get scratched or things knocked over. The idea that they'll run rampant for 10 days instead of just sleeping most of the time is absurd.

I reckon they prefer to knock things over when humans are around anyway. They like the effect it has.

Ed: draw me like one of your French cattes taxxe:

If the Brazil thread is to be believed, coups need US support and the US has told Bolso to get hosed. Hope he does, I enjoyed my time working in Brazil but wow they had a lovely government back then.

Without commenting on Bastani more generally, I imagine he follows Mogg because it’s his job to follow and comment on politics, and he wants to keep an eye on what he’s saying. I wouldn’t really take that as any political inclination. I follow a bunch of people who I know to be good comrades, who a bit annoyingly do the same thing, meaning I get some utter shitbags in my feed sometimes. I recently had to tell Twitter to stop showing me tweets from Lee Harpin so often for exactly this reason.

I'm not sure that's the case with Bastani

Better to criticise the guy by what he has actually said, they often make fun of politicians' tweets on Novara, as has been said there are solid journalistic reasons for following a prominent politician, and he may be attending that event to actually battle with some bad ideas, hence the title. It's important to push back against the fascists.

Happy to retract my support of Bastani if actual evidence he is not politically or morally sound can be shown however.

The fash, because they are impervious to thought. It's the reason for not arguing with them; when you fail to change what for lack of a better word I shall call their minds, it looks like your argument isn't strong enough.

Why are these 'Battles For Ideas' always about the worst loving ideas possible?

Like there's lots of ideas out there, some even very controversial and excluded altogether from the wider debate, but you'd never get "communal childrearing cultures give better outcomes for children than ones that obsess over property and paternity" or "the hard problem of consciousness can be explained by certain quantum effects experiencing one another relativistically" or "monotheism is inherently intolerant and we should encourage polytheism", whereas looking at the line-up you will definitely get "I should be allowed to shag kids" and "indecent photos of kids, good".

Bastani does have a very strange habit of treating fash-adjacent trad-right folks more cordially than their politics and platforms really deserve (as opposed to, say, just ignoring them like the rest of the millions of diverse and exciting weirdos in this country). He's still on Twitter speaking terms with awful right-wing union guy stereotype Paul Embery, for instance, and writes for the tiny crank-Conservative website Unherd.

Also King Charlie's been pissy about it, from what I gather - he set up his own pre-summit bash for attendees, which Rishi Will Attend. Not surprising, given the environment's always been his thing.
