Azza Bamboo posted:Is he worth a vote? He's definitely on the left of the party, super critical of Blair, was always solidly pro-leave which would be advantageous in appealing to the north (but no longer has to campaign on it so wouldn't alienate remainers). He's scrappier than Corbyn (who he always supported) and from Tyneside so hard to paint as a middle class London elite. He has made some silly mistakes like posing with his son who dressed as Michael Jackson for a fancy dress party rather... enthusiastically, which are issues. I honestly think on balance there would be worse candidates for leader, at present we don't necessarily need a perfectly good person to take over, that was Corbyn, we need someone effective. E: he's also has the correct take on why labour lost, I.e. by going de facto remain ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jan 1, 2020 |

I do hope that Corbyn endorses a successor, if only to identify a clear continuity candidate and avoid exploitable left-vote splitting

OwlFancier posted:Wait jim jones was a maoist??? Yeah the people's temple (and Jonestown) was, superficially at least, based around a Christian-flavoured anti-capitalist ideology with some obvious influences from Maoism in particular. It attracted some good, well meaning people. Real shame the guy in charge was obviously cynical, exploitative, narcissistic, and increasingly unhinged, while cultivating a cult of personality. It couldn't have ended any other way with that setup, but many of those who died had genuinely gone to Guyana to build what they hoped would be a better society.

Invading Iran would be another Vietnam, quite possibly worse. There's a very real chance the Iranians win, especially if the Americans go in dumb and just assume they'll win through brute force. I don't relish the idea of another pointless bloodshed but if nothing else a clear military loss will make trump (and johnson if he jumps on the bandwagon, which he will) look weak, which is never a bad thing. E: I'd be very surprised if the US actually was willing to risk the fallout (lol) of a first strike nuclear attack. It's completely unprecedented and they would make zero friends and a lot of enemies. That said, loving trump in charge of a decaying empire is the exact time that poo poo would happen if it's going to. In other news, HIGNFY is hot garbage and I'm embarrassed that I ever used to laugh at their sneering bullshit https://twitter.com/haveigotnews/status/1212686086767620096?s=19 ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 11:57 on Jan 3, 2020 |

Beefeater1980 posted:E: The only response is terror attacks, isn’t it. It’s not like Iran has any capacity to mount a conventional attack on the US. There's a certain dark part of me that would find it extremely funny if Iran pulled a troll move by retaliating via assassinating pence or some other high profile US figure, which tbqh they probably have a solid enough intelligence apparatus to pull off if they really wanted to

HJB posted:I read it your way originally but quite clearly hundreds didn't so I second-guessed myself. It felt very 'lol poverty how quaint' from people entirely out of touch with the reality of it, and after the labour holocaust joke I'm extremely done with giving them the benefit of the doubt. In any case, however it was intended it's in super bad taste.

Coohoolin posted:I'm not sure what the point here is- 2017 labour campaign could win where 2019 labour campaign failed, therefore Starmer for leader? Lawson is a very strange fellow who often has very good takes but then just as regularly spirals into centrist handwringing. He's swallowed the 'electability' kool-aid hard. Though there is something in all this. It's easy to do that because there just isn't a potential candidate this time round that possesses Corbyn's quiet (almost anti-) charisma, honesty, and outsider status which really won it for him. We've now got a significantly leftier field than last time on average (a victory in itself!), but no obvious standout. RLB is good policy wise, but seems too quiet and unconvincing, Lavery is a great scrapper and broadly Correct but that blackface photo and the NUM financial stuff are pretty significant skeletons in the closet, Lewis is I think considerably less left wing than we think and would tack right, similar story for thornberry. The others are all clearly some flavour of tepid centrism or outright blue labour types. I really hope the hustings make things clearer.

Julio Cruz posted:It's basically a toxic masculinity thing - you might worry about getting into a fight in the pub car park, but how to avoid situations like the victims of this oval office is just not something you ever have to learn, because men are big and strong and only women have to worry about getting taken advantage of. Many years ago when I, a man, was 19 I was thrown out of opium in Edinburgh for being a drunk state, and because the people I was there with were in a loving nightclub I could obviously not get through to them. Long story short there was this middle aged bloke just sitting there in his expensive merc outside the club (in retrospect a classic sketchy character - all greasy slicked back hair, gold chains, and slightly too many shirt buttons undone), and while I'm standing outside working out what to do he leans out and offers to give me a ride. I was steaming and cold and briefly considered it like a total dumbass but thankfully just then one of my friends appeared looking for me then got the others and we moved on. Now he might well have just been Scotland's sleaziest taxi driver, but the car was unmarked so I'm doubtful. And if not what the hell is this guy doing just idling in an expensive car outside nightclubs in the early hours offering lifts to random drunk men young enough to be his son? I occasionally remember this and as I've gotten older I've become increasingly convinced (and troubled) that I might have actually quite narrowly avoided being assaulted or worse.

Trump thought he could pull a ridiculous power move without consequences and got called out, this is exactly what he deserves and I have zero sympathy for him or anyone who picks up a gun in service of the country he leads. This will be awful for Iran but it's nonetheless going to backfire massively on trump, so silver linings

Saros posted:I am less sure it will. If anything a few Americans + a lot of Iranians & Iraqi's will die and a tremendous amount of money will go to the MIC but unless Iran is prepared to escalate to state sponsored assassinations and terrorist attacks in the west or to really gently caress with the strait the most likely outcome is Donald loving trump gets a second term. - I wouldn't put it past Iranian intelligence to pull some seriously ballsy moves, this is an existential threat not just for a state but an ideology - This + other factors also means any land war will make Vietnam look like a picnic, and the Iranians have been waiting for this for decades. It would be bloody awful but they're not about to roll over like Saddam did, and they don't be beaten with air power alone (which is far from guaranteed). The US could legit get its rear end kicked unless they just nuked them, but if that happened then well we're well and truly through the eye of the needle. - don't the gulf states have a fairly pally relationship with the US, particularly the UAE? - other complicating factors: Israel + its neighbours, the other global powers response (esp China and Russia).

I'm not saying the US couldn't do it (they totally could) but they can't do it from a standing start or without losing a lot of planes and people in the process. Yes but remember trump is actually insane

I lived in Scotland almost all my adult life and have a very different experience, but maybe you're right.
