We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
I'm of the opinion that we should just create a Brave New World style reservation but for neolibs, strip them of all their accumulated wealth, and leave them to have fun in the truly free market they claim to love so much. Could even turn it into some kind of Victorian-style anthropological zoo thing and turn it into a tourist attraction.

A way bigger loss than Leslie Phillips is Kev O'Neill passed away. Of Nemesis/League of Extraordinary Gentlemen/Marshal Law fame. A unique and amazing artist, surprised no-one else mentioned it as I assume a fair amount of you grew up on 2000AD. RIP.

Hey gang, need a bit of help. I need some of your best examples of the media, TV, print or otherwise, demonising benefits claimants, the homeless etc. Basically any example of the media stoking tensions between members of the working class. Not so much going for a racial element - I'm going to mention it but far more interested for the purposes of this in stuff like Benefits Street, 'VILE PRODUCT OF BENEFITS BRITAIN' front pages, that sort of stuff. Nothing where it isn't quite immediately obvious - it's just for a cutaway sequence during a documentary so each element will just be flashed on the screen quickly as a sort of montage. Cheers!

Like genuinely the older I get the more I start to think the idea of mindless vengeance being less just than inaction is patently wrong. There are so many people who have just made the world worse on an incalculable scale, and who it is beyond human capability to extract due restitution from, but the idea of them just being left alone seems like an affront to all concepts of morality.
The biggest damage has been caused by the degree to which the Michelle Obama poo poo about 'when they go low, we go high' has penetrated every level of political discourse. You can have people like MTG in the US nod-winking about how maybe their political opponents should have been murdered in their offices, and there are absolutely no consequences.

Now I'm not saying there should be material consequences, certainly not in an actionable sense. But I think the idea that "the left shouldn't threaten right wing politicians or they'll think they have carte blanche to kill / threaten ours" kind of ignores the multiple times right wing maniacs have tried and succeeded in killing left wing figures, even nominally centre left figures like Owen Jones getting physically attacked on the streets.

gently caress it, there needs to be an equal threat to those advocating right wing poo poo. Send in the catgirls.

Is there something else that's bothering you Mr. President?

Lately I've been engaging in actual IRL organising, for the first time really, I did some tenants' union door knocking things today, and for the first time I saw the face of a stranger change as they realised that I and the people with me had turned up out of nowhere, for them, to hear their problems and try and do something about it, problems they thought would never be addressed. I'm not sure how to describe this feeling but, lurking this thread for years has been a big factor in how radical I am today, without it I'm not sure I would be any kind of marxist at all really, so I just wanted to say thank you UKMT. I don't even post itt that much but, thanks :)

Conversely I have been feeling particularly dire of late and genuinely I am cheered to hear you are having a better time of it, I really hope you continue to have positive experiences and also that all of your revolutionary hopes come true.

We have a political atmosphere where right wingers are free to say the vilest poo poo imaginable, openly, and the people who should be fighting back are either 'taking the high ground' or doing the keith maneuver of waiting for the public to be sensible and not racist and not listen to them. Which will obviously happen any day now.

Meanwhile anyone who dares to publicly say that maybe people should be a bit nicer gets death threats, swatting and a billion weirdos in their mentions, and we all just accept this as normal.

I'm losing my patience with the whole act so yeah. Make racists afraid again.
