New prime ministers always get a bump in the polls, it’s not something to worry too much about.

Or, alternative, it’s proof that being a brexiteer means you’re a stupid loving child. Take your pick.

It's all a bit Hypernormalization. Maybe I'm overthinking things, and I just need to sit back, turn my brain off, and enjoy it all while buying lots of canned food. Isn't neoliberalism plus nationalism pretty much straight-up fascism though? It's just saying the quiet parts of neoliberalism out loud.

I suspect a lot of the Labour -> LD vote is based on ignorance regarding Swinson. It may not survive a campaign that highlights her more-tory-than-most-tories voting record.

Nah, fascist corporatism is way different from neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is inherently about a global economy while using xenophobia etc as a cover to give the illusion it's not.

Citations Needed had a great bit about this - how marches used to be an instrument of change, and were useful because they drummed up support and the like for other action. But now marches have become an end in themselves, so people can say "look how many thousands we had" and then go home

In vague defence to Krispy Kreme, the one you get in the Tesco cabinet have been sitting there hours and hours. Doughnuts are always fresher better. Since it was payday yesterday, I got myself a wee treat from "Tantrum Doughnuts" on my lunch break, it was great.

thespaceinvader posted:Isn't neoliberalism plus nationalism pretty much straight-up fascism though? It's just saying the quiet parts of neoliberalism out loud. Depends on which definitions you're using. In the article, Davies uses some parts of the social aspect of neoliberalism, referring to a combination of forced optimism / positivity and risk-taking, where as an individual doesn't know what's going to happen (neoliberal approach to uncertainty and irrationality), they are expected to meet it with positivity and an open-minded "responsible risk-taking", and accept the result as part of a disciplining process. He seems to apply this to a state's politics to get a sort of state-as-neoliberal-subject idea, afaict. I'd say fascism relies more on the idea of past imagined glories, and returning to the supposedly known. Johnson's approach hasn't so far relied on that, or of treating the EU as an external enemy. That could change, of course. There are some similarities between neoliberal philosophy and fascism, but they don't really apply in this context. vvvv lmao CGI Stardust fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Aug 1, 2019 |

There’s some boutique doughnut shop/stall on Fleet Street where each donut is £6.50 or more. I’m not really that surprised considering only lawyers would ever go there, but still. That’s two meal deals and an apple!

JAB, who own krispy kreme and pret and a bunch of other stuff, have a history of using slave labour and described themselves in the 40s as a purely Aryan business who fully supported race theory.

Can someone give me the sparksnotes on how Living Marxism went from ridiculously crude third-worldist 'anti-imperialism' to the turbo-conservative Spiked? It's such a fascinating transition that I'm sure follows some coherent progression but I've yet to find an account that doesn't assume some knowledge of the minutiae of 90s fringe-left groups and figures.Sanitary Naptime posted:looking to gain diabetes with a smile on their face. please don't do this tia
