The only thing that's really changed is what is considered "The Nation". We have seen a new nation form since the second world war, one that transcends state lines. This nation is sometimes called "The West", other times "The First World" or "The Global North". This is the nation that is the focus of both neoliberalism and modern fascist movements

I um really don't think that's true. Otherwise you'd have the Kippers welcoming Polish people over here with open arms, instead of, y'know, that other thing they actually do.

Ask a Kipper if Polish people are "Western" and then ask the same question about a group of immigrants that Kippers do not take issue with, such as Americans or Australians

E: This touches on what is possibly the biggest disagreement within neoliberal and fascist circles: Does The West extend beyond the Anglosphere?

It is definitely 'the first world' and 'the global north'. If you're going to say 'English speakers' instead then sure I guess but that's a different argument and I'm not sure it makes any sense to say they consider the anglosphere to be a 'nation'. Aaaaaalso, even if we are talking about the anglosphere, try asking them what they think about the Irish.

I'd like to find a new job but I'm a bit nervous about making a switch and then immediately being laid off because of Brexit. At least at the moment I have the benefit of state redundancy to the maximum amount.

Is there anyway to limit the risk of this, anyone else hanging on to a job that makes them miserable due to possible implications of Brexit?

Work for a software company. No import/export issues because no physical goods and the pound going through the floor is actually good for you if your customers are paying in dollars.

Oh yeah Ifoeget that some places don't have Chinese chippys.

Pretty much every chippy in Liverpool is always a Chinese chippy. You only get a few "proper" chippys and they always sell the best fish!
This one place in town does deep fried haggis and it is lush as gently caress

Where I live there's a Chinese right next to a chippy, owned by the same (Chinese) people. You have to order separately though.

It's kind of an interesting thing because in some BAME communities there is a hierarchy of 'blackness' where (depending on the community/culture/class etc.) being light or dark skinned is seen as being more desirable.

Being dark skinned is seen as being more desirable pretty much nowhere tbh but yes the other thing is a thing, brown paper bag test etc; I've heard of US universities where there's one sorority for the lightskinned women and another for the darker skinned. To white Americans, ofc, black is black.

After reading that I can clearly see she's in pain and deeply miserable, but I still can't tell what Mieville actually did. I'm guessing he was sleeping with other women behind her back?

Or promising her a committed relationship in bad faith so he could get into her pants. But we only have her side of it from that and, yeah, she uses a lot of very florid language which i find kind of offensive to actual abuse survivors to...not actually lay out a clear grievance.
