To be fair, most of them found it funny once I was able to get the gist of it across. But the phrase ‘terrorist flash-mob’ was used at least once.

It's exactly this kind of flippancy that allows Team Rocket to get away with so much trouble

didn't you hear, all criticism of Jewish people is anti-semitic now

All criticism of capitalism too, because the concept of rich people controlling the world is an evil antisemitic trope

After all the talking to police chat earlier I am still unsure what type of solicitor you talk to when you've done a crime and want to get away with it. To avoid moral quandaries we can take a hypothetical unambiguous good that is also a crime, like maybe you played Iain Duncan Smith's head like a bongo and he uncoolly called the police on you and wants to press charges.

You go on the dark web, and then 6 weeks later a paralegal in beige linens hacks through kudzu into a clearing and kneels in the entrance of an adobe hut. "We need you back, Ace." He gruffly replies that he's done with that poo poo but then his eyes stray to the powdered wig hanging from the wall

I mean the work has already been started by extending the Corbyn smear campaign to conflate anticapitalism with anti-semitism. It's only a hop skip and an extremely stupid jump from there to suggesting that if you think Jeff Bezos should pay more tax you're basically in ISIS

Johnson was found in high court or whatever the gently caress to have acted unlawfully in proroguing parliament (was it?) and a million other things and no one cares.

And Matt Hancock has only recently been found to have done a Widdle Fucko Boingo with COVID contracts. A bunch of Twitter melts get to recharge their orgone batteries by pretending this is a magnificent Toby Ziegler-style dunk on the Tories and then everything carries on as before

The most recent Chapo had a screed about how there's no desire for accountability in right or centre-right politics because they're just two slightly different methodologies of assisting capital, and so the only expectation of your elected representative is to be "on your team" and own the people you don't like. And if the people you don't like include both the Tories and loony lefty Joebbels Crobnoy, then it's easy to see the appeal of a sensible tutting module like Keith

I got extremely bummed about the giant shrug that Texas has done in response to the ice storm and started to worry: why wouldn't the Tories subject us to Austerity 2 as payment/punishment for all those lovely free vaccines? There are apparently no consequences for this poo poo. Hopefully it won't be quite that bad, but I do think that this is the last lockdown we'll get. As others have said, if we get another peak, the vaccines will be used as proof that the government "did all they could"

It's like that Times article I posted where the journalist raises the issue that it's kinda the point of the Opposition to want to throw the government out and replace them and Starmer always gives the impression that he doesn't particularly want to do that. I've talked before about his bureaucratic instincts - he treats the Tory government not as an enemy to be defeated but as a rather irritating department that his own department nonetheless has to work with as best as possible, for the greater good of the company. For all that we dislike Blair, if this crisis had happened in 1996, he'd have built a popular narrative of Tory incompetence, cronyism and failure and lashed the government mercilessly with it and he'd have been right to do so.

Holy poo poo this is perfect. Sensibly adjusting all the different levers until you unlock fully data-driven end-of-history space centrism, ignoring the fact that most of the levers are guarded by a hooting mop-headed gargoyle who flings skulls at you and fucks your wife if you come anywhere near

What actually is British nationalism these days? Like, I know what it's for - to distract from the existential dread caused by being a largely superfluous appendage of the City money laundering machine - but what does it look like? Eating a cream tea in a garden beneath Union Jack bunting? Blokes who look like glazed hams drinking pints at the footie? 50 year olds tearing up to Dvorak's 9th and pretending they were in the war? Maybe it's just that I don't "get" it but it's all so dreamlike and insubstantial

Fake edit: the news coverage of Captain Sir Tom's funeral answers my question with leaden sincerity. It's got everything: flags, war, planes from the war, Her Maj, Michael Ball, the lot
