I'm praying for a stonking majority, but I will be happy with a hung parliament and Labour as the largest party or a small majority for Labour.

Just worked 7 days straight (one day I came into work because they were low on staff and I could get time and a half for working), but really tired. I've seen nothing but positive stuff towards labour on my feed, most of whom are fairly normal folks, but I hope it is getting shared widely.

I was about to go WHAT to that Poll, but its for London so of course. Also I think Brown Moses needs to do what all of us need to do, sit around for a bit and think about ideological blind spots/ things we don't know as much about. It's one of the reasons I dislike twitter in that it's considered a good idea to just post everything all the time.

I do think that if I was very very wealthy and had a job where everyone is supposed to listen to me I'd also find it hard to think "Maybe the hegemon I serve under is in fact poo poo. Is there any way to see ourselves from the outside and do self-critique without it becoming masterbatory "I am so sad, wahhh" stuff?

I think the Queen probably gets along with people who 1) Don't treat her as a deified image of Her Maj and 2) Probably would be on the same side during the war. Which none of the other spivs and poo poo heads would be over the past 40 years would be. Alongside that I've been out meeting up with a friend, they are going through a similarly tough time and have been talking about Socialism in a positive way, so that is good.

Gonzo McFee posted:It's just centrists being centrists. They're completely out of power in the Labour party and they'd rather everything went to poo poo than the left win and make things better. They know Labour are the better option but if they're not in charge they're going to take their ball and go home until everyone agrees to play another game of means testing and sensible bombings. "But I don't understand why I am being unfairly called out about this" I say as I force feed more poor people into the gaping maw of capital so that I can continue to write editorials. "It just seems so unfair" one opines as they put down homeless spikes outside of tesco so that they don't have to see the results of their own feckless narrative. "I'm a human being" another says as they pretend that everything happening in a foreign country isn't anything to do with them whilst wearing a shirt saying "Bombs away". Why is it that being human is always conditional on being just like these feckless sacks of poo poo rather than being human.

Can't imagine what a right wing poo poo show labour would be with him as leader. I like to think he would have lost as badly as his brother and we'd still have ended up with Corbyn and more of the Right wing would have eaten themselves. Part of me wishes we could look into other worlds to see what would happen if things had gone differently

Oh Owl, I'm sorry to hear this mate. I know it's hard but you are doing good work out there. It isn't bad to feel overwhelmed, it happens to all of us on occasion.

Deketh posted:I wonder what causes a change like that. Any changes in meds or recent traumas or massive stresses pop up for you over that time frame? Not to pry, of course! I've been feeling much more tired as of late and I've offended a bunch of my friends so I haven't been talking to folks as much and I just got a new job and I am going into therapy soon. I think in general I am just vegging out a lot at the moment. I am feeling a bit emotionally distant from myself as much as anything else.

I think one of the most important things is trying not to get very cross at all the people who seem to think that once Corbyn is gone everything "goes back to normal". Why are these people so sure of it when they keep getting every other thing wrong?

I think it's probably because they are just convinced that things were "normal" and "sensible" in the late 90's and early 2000's. But now they are faced with the slow collapse of their foundational idea and instead of trying to change or grow everything else must be sacrificed in order to prop up the failing structure of their own ego.

None of it matters worth a toss, there’s not even a pretence of procedural rigour and ten hours from now nobody will ever care about these numbers ever again.

How long before the Guardian (the observer  ) goes full right wing and says that Labour must be stopped before they let poor people into our houses.Also, not been able to do as much as I would like this week as I keep getting home and just falling asleep because I am depressed, but I am trying to share things and get as much done as possible. I love you all, and I really hope we win this.

I think it is sad that this is one of the things that has stuck. Saying that though I think I was able to persuade one of my co-workers to vote Labour tonight by understanding her views on anti-semitism whilst also saying how poo poo Boris has been and how much good Labour can do. She was at least never going to vote Tory or Lib-dem so that is good. All we can do is hold on, I hope we succeed. All power to the Soviets (as in the workers councils, not the imperialist power) and I can only hope that we see us all through the other side.

The thing is that suddenly a lot of those who have been decrying the left have suddenly realised. "Oh no, we aren't court favourite anymore! WE MIGHT NOT BE HERE IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING!!!" Fecklessness, pure and simple, but if it gets us a win or cripples Johnson then so be it. Also, I am hoping for at least a hung parliament on Thursday, I like to hope we can get something more, but I can only hope.

No. I will not let this be the end. Not of me nor of the people I love. I think if there is anything we can do now, it is organise it is build ourselves things that cope and care for people, it is be as kind as we can without limit. I'm sad and have the terrible sinking feeling in my gut that comes from fear. But all we can do is fight. Probably forever.
