Sykic posted:I really can't tell if being unable to engage in politics for 6 weeks is going to be a nightmare or a blessing. Looking forward to the first time a canvasser knocks on the door and I just have to stand there, muttering "Purdah" while staring them down like an absolute psychopath. I've got an email in to my line manager for permission to campaign during purdah, which should be granted as I'm not grade 7+

Azza Bamboo posted:I like the idea of voluntary euthanasia being legal after a certain age cutoff. I'd like to have the mercy to choose my date of death, have that be known and prepared for, and to thereby avoid the indignity and suffering of a slow demise to age related disease which is the end most people will have. I don't get the age cutoff here - assisted suicide should just be legal. A right to life should be a right to die too.

Ugh, McCluskey piping up about keeping restrictions on freedom of movement which hopefully Corbyn will ignore. Unions own but their leadership are almost poo poo to the man. Also stop engaging the stupid SWERF tankie who thinks that women don't know what's best for them E: here's your page snipe: gently caress SWERFs they're a gnat's fart from TERFs

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:I'm a trans woman. Our liberation is only possible through the complete abolition of gender. Doesn't stop you being a TERF or parroting TERF poo poo, and big shock it's gone hand in hand with SWERF stuff. Also let's not pretend like the abolition of gender is an agreed goal of the trans community; it's specifically very important to some of us.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Alright, explain how gender abolition is TERF poo poo then. njsykora posted:And abolish gender has been a smokescreen cry of TERFs for years and years, because the way they see it when gender doesn't exist neither do trans people. Basically reducing gender dysphoria down to just clothing and presentation. Seriously there's no difference in your arguments and those of a Greer or Moore

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Because they literally use it as a smokescreen, a genuine belief in the abolition of gender is now TERF? Are you loving kidding me? We need to continue to promote a violent system of domination and division of labour in order to make sure trans people can be properly recognised in our gender as either abuser or abused? You'll understand that, given the rest of your posts today, I'm not exactly intending to give you the benefit of the doubt on it being a genuine belief

Shakespearean Beef posted:WhiskyWhiskers raises some good points, i'm not sure why you're shouting her down. Gender abolitionism has been a strong point of marxist gender politics for a long time. Heck, even Engels wrote a short and good essay on it, when he was writing about the capitalist construction of the family, which any marxist feminist worth their salt should read https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1884/origin-family/ch05.htm Probably due to the utterly dreadful takes on sex work. As I said, after all that poo poo I don't trust them. There's arguments to be made for gender abolitionism but it's not the only approach and needs to be discussed with nuance given how critical gender can be to some trans identities. Also hi Shakey Beef it's been a while

Shakespearean Beef posted:Python is great to learn with, but still doesn't teach you about the dis/advantages of type systems and stuff, unless you strictly enforce type hints. Maybe something like Kotlin is nice to play around with too? Java based, so has a strong type system, but with a bunch of nice stuff around it to make it feel less like that you're faffing with Java. The other alternative if you want Java without all the loving bloat is Go

The YouGov MRP poll being held up as super-accurate was done literally the day before the election, 7 June. This methodology is specifically way more accurate the closer to polling day we are. If this was a couple days out from the election I'd say it's over but the wind is absolutely blowing our way and we can win this poo poo.

willie_dee posted:3 days ago I had someone decry me for being a socialist for criticising landlords on twitter and pointing out that leaving your tenants home made chutney didn’t make up for the extreme exploitation of the renting class by the land lord class. I’m fairly sure some posters in here have had my back on Twitter and vice versa, maybe they don’t realise it’s me because I only post in here when I want to be told why I’m wrong. willie_dee posted:How dare you fash. The police were just out to murder. The public had everything under control. I’m sure one of them was calmly discussing with the attacker that the vest was fake and he was just about to deescalate the situation and everyone could of got up and walked away with no more injuries. Gonna be honest you're not doing a very good job of convincing me you're in here in good faith to learn why your poo poo take is poo poo

CyberPingu posted:Like in the US where several mentally ill (and coincidentally black) people were shot without even attempting to restrain them. Us having hardly any armed coppers is one of the main redeeming features of British policing. Ending up like America on that front is one of the worst things that could happen.
