Happy birthday, Ms A. May the Prince of pleasure seize your desires in his sexy crab claw

I'm on holiday with my friends, we've been looking forward to it all year and all bar one of us are sick as hell.
My gf has recovered from tonsilitus but has gone temporarily deaf as a result from goopy ear, a worth it but unwise shagging means I've now got the tonsil part, our friend has some kind of serious stomach bug and had to get a doctors finger inna bum.
Our remaining friend appears healthy but God knows what we're gonna do once inevitably the throat infection and stomach bug team up to destroy us all.

According to googling we should start to get better around... the time we leave and my gfs hearing should recover sometime around... January????

Pray for us Goons

Nah bojo loves PMQs I think it's the only bit of being a pm he really does enjoy

He gets to be the centre of attention, banter at everyone and nobody is allowed to call him a liar or follow up on his nonsense, it must be like being back in the good old days for him

So Corbyn is definitely unpopular - but Johnson isn't very popular either, and that number can keep going down. The 'Brexit at any cost' will I suppose keep him a certain base, if he can keep deflecting the blame, but I don't think the sexual misconduct angle is going down well. Labour (or it's '''outriders''') should focus on that, I'd think.

They should hammer him for it anyway, but I don't think the sex pest stuff will affect him much cause everyone knew he's one all along and right wing women will vote for a misogynist if he's racist enough.

According to some guy who claimed to have tory internal polling data the actual weakness for bojo is competence. Even the brexiters aren't sure that he's competent enough to do brexit properly and that becomes more and more serious as brexit approaches.
He got a bounce from being a banter lad, a change from maybot, but now that is waning.

I'm confused. Where the heck did Islamism come from in that?

E: Wait what, male chauvinism? What the heck is going on here

It's great cause on top of being transphobic, islamophobic and antisemitic it completely undermines its own point.
Anarchism and islamism are entirely different ideologies and don't really even approach each other so even in the insane world of that diagrams creator its better expressed as two directions moving away from each other. Same with male chauvinism and third wave feminism.



ThomasPaine posted:

no it's a real identifiable school of thought op

when the fash say postmodernism they actually mean 'all critical theory'

I've never seen a fash have any idea what critical theory is, I've only ever seen them use postmodernism to mean cultural Marxism to mean judeo bolshivism

ThomasPaine posted:

I agree. What I'm saying is that postmodernism is a real thing (though postmodernists would probably disagree because they're like that), but that when fash use the word it's completely divorced from the reality of the tradition and, yes, is used as a dog whistle.

Also you don't need to know what critical theory is to instinctively dismiss it, hence the populist right's consistent anti-intellectualism, particularly towards the humanities and social sciences

Sure, but in relation to that diagram it's pretty clearly done by someone who is using it as a dog whistle since like half of the labels and their placement are dogwhistles.

As an aside it is v v funny that the lady who posted that is so ill informed about modern politics that I doubt she has any idea at all what it tells an informed person about the politics of the author. I.e. Theyr a transphobic right wing racist.

Having seen several liberal friends of mine get radicalised by taking part in protests / occupations which were violently broken up by the police, can confirm that this will change at least a proportion of them.

Yeah I was gonna say exactly this only that it's odd they haven't yet been radicalised. It makes me wonder if the XR higher ups are insulating themselves from this somehow.

Cause yeah I've seen that happen to my friends too, nobody thinks cops are there to protect them after their first legal protest gets charged and kettled

I think it's pretty nebulous how well bojo would fare in an election or not anyway. But his position isn't likely to get much stronger over time.
Even his crash out then trigger an election plan has a huge chance of backfiring, presumably because its cummies plan and cummies wants us out and doesn't care about bojo or the tories.

The obvious risk through playing the clock is to the country not to labour's election chances imo

Agreed that the moment has now passed; just have a nagging feeling that 'leavers won't vote for Boris if Brexit is delayed' is the 'Michigan voters won't go for Trump' of our current cycle.

Doesn't mean we should have just blithely followed any timetable Boris set but it does mean we should have been more careful about being welded into the establishment alliance.

It is equally possible that "leavers only care about brexit in a GE" is also an optimistic assumption from the tories. Or that leavers are impressed with the tories performance on brexit. Or that the base of rabid brexiteers is as large as bojo assumes it is.

Not saying you're wrong but I find this all genuinely hard to call, it could go any way imo. So I'm basically in delusional optimism mode rather than delusional pessimism mode cause gently caress it why not. Its easy to switch you just go read the first couple pages of the Cspam UK thread where everyone was almost suicidal with despair when the 2017 GE was called.

Also cursory googling reveals interest on a NL mortgage is at the lowest its been in a longass time. Apparently you can also get a mortgage of 100% the cost of the house without a deposit there.
Also the avg cost of a house in Amsterdam is 200,000 quid lower than the avg cost of a house in London

Granted AoF has made no reasonable effort to seek help or take any kind of protracted break from the thread. Hopefully an enforced break will be the impetus he needs to seek help, and he's lucky to be able to afford to do so if he can, but I don't think the idea that mildly well off people can't be depressed is a great one to be playing around with.

*in narrator voice* and so finally the concept of money shaming was advanced in the UKMT

Actually I think that's a good point but otoh gimme that money I'm pretty sure I could increase my happiness with it substantially
