Jesus Christ. Mark Blyth was right. The Tories have four weeks at the most before the remaining pro-EU Tories split off completely, and Jeremy Corbyn will have no reason to stay Labour leader afterwards because he'll have done what he wanted to do in the first place: destroy the party of Margaret Thatcher.

Can anyone recommend antidepressants that don't cause you to put on absurd amounts of weight please? Have been on Citalopram for years but to be honest it's not really doing wonders for the anxiety and depression and also I'm just gradually getting bigger which is depressing in itself :(

I want to recommend Sertraline, but (a) my positive experiences with it aren't reflective of everyone else's experiences (b) I don't have any experience with any other antidepressants

This is probably a dumb question, but why are Lib Dem’s bad? I can’t really imagine them saddling up with conservatives after the last PMQ.

Liberalism in general is dumb and bad tbh, because it assumes that individual solutions to capitalism are possible while keeping the system intact when they're really not

Also, the Tories have shifted the Overton Window so far to the right that orthodox liberalism in Current Year is pretty much straight-up Thatcherism

Basically, the Lib Dems are bad because when given the choice to either kill the poor or not kill the poor, they will kill the poor every time

w/r/t Lib Dem chat: when Democrats in the US say 'vote blue no matter who', they're really saying 'I don't give a gently caress if I vote in the second coming of Ronald Reagan as long as I'm not voting for a Republican'

the UK is not the US, mainly because it has (at least since 2015) a strong social democratic party with a high chance of being elected, whereas the Democrats are a(n increasingly Reaganite) liberal party with a social democratic minority

but hey, at least the US Dems have socdems in their ranks, unlike the Lib Dems

if I were still living in Stirling, my MP would be Stephen Kerr, an odious Tory bootlicker who was only voted in because the students had just left for the summer and the Women's Equality Party candidate drew enough votes from the SNP incumbent to give the Tories the win

worst case scenario (that I really, really, really don't want to happen and would be loving appalled if it came to pass) is that the Tories do a Guy Fawkes in the House on Wednesday while their MPs are away at conference and use the commotion to declare martial law, fascist dictatorship, force through NDB, etc.

I mean, I'm fully aware that this is me catastrophising, because democracy is asset insurance for the rich and the Tories surely know something like this would blow up in their faces, but hell, I'm running super low on hope at the moment tbh, especially since this whole powder keg is full to bursting

Have you considered making youtube videos about the innate superiority of the white race because the crusades brought democracy to the barbarian muslim world? Cos that seems pretty lucrative!

And none of the people doing it right now have any understanding of history at all so you could definitely produce more smart sounding content!

Do it in a weird mask too so it makes your grift look more mysterious + makes it harder for folks to ID Lord Fashypants as Leftist Something Awful Poster ThomasPaine
