I had forgotten nobody cares about politics until it affects them and only reads the headline to confirm what they think anyway ![]() looking forward to see who embarrasses themselves on my street by clapping this evening. I am guessing 1 person will half-heartedly give it a go, shout at people to come out, then go in as other neighbors pop their heads out wondering what day it is.

That assumes that veracity is important, the guy gets paid, the paper gets to print something they want to print, people who already think that get to read it and have those views reinforced, at no point does actual factual reality enter the picture, it is just money and ideological maintenence.

Comrade Fakename posted:Joly's really one of the better ones, but these people aren't radicalising, they're returning to normal. For years these people considered themselves left-wing, and probably even radical. They complained about Tony Blair being too far right. But when the actual possibility of real positive change arose, they all slunk into their true selves. Now that the threat of anything worthwhile being done appears to have receded, they're slowly returning to their ideal forms - being able to passionately complain about injustice, safe in the knowledge that nothing will actually change and they won't be effected.

Just heard the bit on podcast 61 about the British Embassy - could have told you that back in 2011. Worse than a chocolate teapot. Loving AI Keith Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Jan 7, 2021 |

Grey Hunter posted:Why does half naked horny man have a penis tattooed on his stomach? So right with the last part in brackets. I stayed up too late watching various livestreams from around the US last night. Here's a fun summary of what I caught from the crowd outside the Governor's house in Olympia, WA: - A pale, ginger young edgelord with a gun and a knife, openly stating that he was a fascist. He was hurling anti-Semitic and other racist abuse at other protesters, whose response was not - 'what the gently caress, it's an armed fascist' but: 'You're just a democrat plant, get out of here' - A Fox News reporter got accused of broadcasting 'fake news' and punched the guy in the face - A lone, teen/early 20s antifascist punk showed up to confront the several hundred remaining racists Also, in Salt Lake City, a lone female protester showed up with a 'Trump lost, go home' sort of sign. Some Proud Boys wanted to go and 'talk' to her but she was protected by Hawaiian shirt-wearing, gun-holding boogaloo boys. I'm not saying that the UK is all fine and dandy, but poo poo can you imagine if pretty much any of the above was going on here?

Then when they come to open the cubes in ten years time the statues are mysteriously missing, a manhunt begins for david blaine as the lead suspect, but they can't catch him because he's also disappeared.
