I think we are all going insane in our own ways and at different speeds. It's showing in different ways. The extroverts broke first and are overtly just ignoring the rules. Introverts are going hard the other way and are trying to reduce the risk of infection to 0.0% which is unsustainable. We have no hard proof that the nearest vaccines will work. No time table. If you are being hardline about quarantine how long do you think you can keep it up? What about people who have to go into work and can't work from home? Are they expected to lock themselves down in their off time but they do have to go to work in person? There's also personal acceptance of risks that will be different for everyone. Like some people won't even accept 1% and others seem fine going 'if I get it I get it'. So yeah, we're all going strange and we're going to make each other worse from incompatible outlooks.

See I still don't understand why it was so easy for the right to regain control. Did the left massively gently caress up (beyond losing the election) or was this always going to happen?

Going back to work in closed rooms was never safe. They lied but have no idea what to do. I just wonder whether they are nihilistic and don't care or are panicking and just assumed we'd have 'something' that would make things better.

justcola posted:A friend of mine is against burqa's because he finds them oppressive. I am for them because people should be able to wear what they want, as what we wear stems from culture. Although on a deeper level I am against all traditions and identities and people should be able to be whatever they want. It's a very thorny issue. 'Coerced intent' or 'internalised coercion' or whatever you want to call it, essentially the status of thinking the choices you're making are yours alone when in fact they may not be, is a subject that requires a lot of nuance. Sometimes it's not enough for a person to just say 'it's my choice' because there may be 9001 factors behind them including the obvious ones like patriarchal control. Is the person really content or do they just want an easy life so they're saying everything is fine? Is the choice to just minimise confrontation and act like everything's fine actually valid in of itself? Everyone has their own thresholds to both the main and the sub-questions.

Unless he's just going to locally lockdown everywhere and just not call it a lockdown. That'd still be too clever. What useless plan is he going to come up with. It'll need to be something cruel but also does nothing to slow the spread.

I mean the SNP have a fair deal of faults but they're not at the level of utter disdain for human lives as the tories, at least. Hopefully she shuts the border without permission and we can kick off the next stage in this disaster. Might as well move things forward.

Yeah it's not actually that hard for Keir to turn things around. He doesn't need to go after the megacorps or defund the police. He just needs to stick up for the poor and protect the NHS. Basic poo poo that has support over a very wide political spectrum. But he can't manage it. I don't think he's personally to the right of Blair but he sure likes acting like it. I don't really understand what he's doing. I can't figure out he's a big poo poo and actually is the second coming of Blair or he's trying some weird long con where he gets the press back on side by being pally with them and supporting center right poo poo for political capital only he's really incompetent and it's not going to work. They fact he went after all the remaining socialists in the cabinet on his own initiative does not bode well. He has the press at least nominally onside. He didn't need to shank RLB. Love to know what the gently caress masterplan he thinks he's following. Regarde Aduck fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Sep 25, 2020 |

Buried in the BBC article about the 16000 lost cases poo poo is a line about Kate Bingham, head of the governments corona task force saying that the vaccine is for over 50s, care workers and health workers and 'vulnerable'. So if you have no obvious comorbidities and you're 49 you just have to hope you don't die? I can't tell if this is a weird new stance or if there's just a lack of information because it's just one quote stuck in an article about the IT cockup. 180. Darts.

More anti-lock down poo poo trending on twitter. From what I can tell the right has cultivated a situation where there needs to be some kind of lockdown in order to control the disease enough for them to pretend everything is fine. At the same time the right is stirring up the fash to demand an end to any control measures at all. I guess the plan is we'll all be convinced by the persuasive gammons screaming about 5G and bill gates and then economy good.

justcola posted:Look at this "self-he" I took just the other day. The moderate position is pivoting to matching the right. People just have to shut up and die. Containment is over. They aren't even going to give people money to shield. They'll just tell the vulnerable that they should shield but give no help in doing so. So it's then our fault when we die of covid because we wanted to not end up homeless. Vaccine better work or our society is over. There is one thing keeping them from just washing their hands of it all. The NHS. Despite what the dipshits say, if they just give up on lockdown completely the NHS collapses and people have to notice. So watch for them building new 'hospitals' that are just places they send people to die because there isn't enough doctors and nurses to treat everyone.

Nostalgic Cashew posted:I haven't been tracking Brexit super closely, but have done some reading of articles and the like- and track this thread, but it seems like there is a distinct lack of terror of punching out to WTO rules in 12 weeks. Am I missing something? A catastrophe is optimistic because it means things are changing even if by virtue of violence. The more likely result is slow grinding poverty and decay. The only way out would be the kind of unrest that unseats a government but the UK doesn't do those kinds of riots so I don't know what the gently caress anyone can do other than move out the country if you can.
