Helsing posted:I guess this counts as good news. Labour are polling basically the same as they did in 2015, the problem is that the Tories are hoovering up all of UKIPs votes now that Farage has hosed off and the party has no reason to exist after Leave. See the graph above where half the country are either open ethnic nationalists or just in the closet about it.

get that OUT of my face posted:lol if you think that the death of the olds will heal any society One of the cool things about Corbyn is that Labour & Momentum are now full of cool socialist grandpas and grandmas My grandpas not a socialist but he did once tell me stories about hanging out in Devonport dockyards with Michael Foot and communists. "It was the 40's" was his explanation

Helsing posted:It's grimly fascinating when you realize just how many British atrocities are acknowledged by historians but completely invisible to the public consciousness. People are sort of vaguely aware of the Irish potato famine but all those Indian famines, right up to the midst of World War II, went right down the memory hole. Sure, you can look them up in a few obscure sources or the occasional book published in the left-wing press, and serious historians don't actually deny that they happened, but the amount of selective forgetfulness is astounding. Even the potato famine was taught much more as "this terrible thing that happened" rather than an the logical end result of British colonial policy. The Almighty, indeed, sent the potato blight, but the English created the famine.

get that OUT of my face posted:i'm confused as to why they use the word "murdered" for jo cox instead of the spot-on word "assassinated" Assassinations are only the province of marxists and brown people, unlike noted gardener and good lad Thomas Mair who just went a bit mental because immigrants were going to take his council house. The Daily Mail said so!

Yeah it's hilarious to hear how Corbyn has killed the party when they're looking to get bang on the same amount of votes as 2010 and 2015. Only problem is that UKIP and the Lib Dems have totally poo poo the bed and Scottish Labour are the party equivalent of a gigantic flaming turd I can't wait for the Lib Dem tears when they win like 4 seats and Tim Farron gets shitcanned while Corbyn stays #libdemfightback

Baloogan posted:i think lefties and tankes have wrapped their bubbles so tightly and simply don't talk about economics with anyone outside their bubble, or if they do they immediately dominate the conversation so its one way. we all know tankies who are like this lol Leftie economics is good when you start asking questions like "why don't we renationalise the railways" and "why does the guy at the top of the company get paid 300 times what you do", it's great to watch the ultra-rich squirm and try to justify their existence to the masses It's also good to point out to people who have massive nostalgia for the 50's and 60's that there was like a 90% top rate of tax back then

I'm always amused by people trying to portray Corbyn as some kind of master Trotskyist revolutionary at the head of the personality cult because blairites can't accept that the reason he keeps beating them is because they loving suck and no-one likes them

rudatron posted:So Corbyn or not, it seems that Brexit hasn't had an 'even' effect of the UK political landscape - it's boosted the conservatives significantly while cutting labor up. That's totally nuts. Hungary and Poland have pretty much straight up fascists in government. Sweden are on the verge of doing so while 35% of French voters voted for a fascist over Macron. Britain's political uniqueness in Europe is that the main centre-right party has totally embraced ethnic nationalists in a short term bid for power, not that it's had the biggest turn to the right in Europe
