They spent so much energy and probably money loving over the labour left so even if they discovered that yes, the british public would actually really like leftist policies, they can't anymore. Their choices are gently caress around in the middle committing to nothing or move right chasing the tories. We're so blessed that they have currently decided to merely be useless centrists. Remember, leftism is now anti-Semitic. Can't backtrack now.

What's the issue with

anyway?

Not the on-paper issue, the actual one? Is it that the extended family has always been at odds with the state to some degree, and the nuclear family, being unstable without state support, works better for a managerial society?

It’s racism. White Anglo culture is to flee your home the moment you are an adult and sink or swim.

Posting bad takes from The JC is shooting fish in a barrel. It's just another far-right rag, except with the gimmick of claiming to speak for an entire religion in order to deflect criticism.

It's worse than that. It's actively demoralizing. Bad faith arguments meant to disparage everything the left stands for, directly into our brains. It's not something that will spur discussion or that anyone can do anything about. It's just gibberish by the media class which is currently a cult dedicated to centre-right politics.

The worms will be spreading both ways. I assume western culture war bullshit is loosely coordinated and the UK has shown that it is a very good stick to beat the left with. There's usually much more pushback in the US through, I assume because there's many more young jewish people who really don't like the way Israel is going.

It's unfortunate that some people have preexisting conditions, such as children or active social lives, that make lockdown especially hard for them. But IMO their sacrifice is a small price to pay so that childless asthmatic shutins can continue to live normally.

Seems like a hot take but I’m not sure tbh

Like it seems like ‘childless asthmatic shutins’ has an implied judgement but I dunno??

I get that there’s tension between groups but this really seems like you think we’ve reached the point where we should triage the childless, the asthmatic and the shy

The advert for me on that page was for 800quid ps5s on ebay. lol gently caress.

I guess it makes sense if you're so deep in the capitalism bubble that you haven't even considered just making everyday items arbitrarily rare and expensive would be a bad thing. To a good capitalist it's a perfectly rational thing to do. What happens when everything is too expensive for the plebs is something for other people to think about, those economist people, they get paid to sort that stuff out.

Bleak, but not unsuprising given that they've been basing every policy on scattershot whim for the last year, regardless of what every epidemiologist has been saying - more interested in speedrunning to "normalcy", not having to function as an actual state to help people, and a return to their default of siphoning off money for them and their mates.

And now they know they can get completely get away with it, given that they're standing on 110k+ skulls and no-one seems to care. They have a supine media, and compliant opposition on their side.

I mean we care and what are we doing? What can we do? There’s probably lots more like us. What do we do about any of this? I feel like the time for blood was before covid even happened. Much like I feel a functioning country would have had to address the cultural gammon/everybodyelse 50/50 split we find ourselves in. Instead we’ve limped on and now I don’t know what the gently caress. But I don’t think any of it is because no one cares, or worse, likes what the Tories are doing.

I feel people are just wasting energy that's going to be needed later. It's not like it's just Labour politics that are hosed. The whole nation is dysfunctional. No one is happy and no one knows what they even want. The worst of the gammons actually think any day now we're going to sail out with our battle fleet of 800 ships and colonise the world again. Any day now. How the gently caress is anything supposed to work when these are your voters?

ANYTHING YOU SOW posted:

What makes me stay in Labour (for now at least) despite the Labour right being terrible and in ascendancy is that I think the left has a chance in taking back the party.

The thing is that although the right is ruthless and absolutely dedicated to trot bashing, they are also deluded about their levels of support and just bad at politics.

Example include:
It was the right who wanted to introduce OMOV and the £3 supporters, which completely backfired on them.
They hosed up the suspension of Corbyn with the NEC reinstating him.
Someone was stupid enough to store their incriminating backed up whatsapp messages in their official party email account.

This is just my opinion but i'd strongly disagree that the left's ever getting power back in Labour and even if they did its tainted. If there's any hope for the left then its in a new party, optimally one made from Labour left splitters, that then fights in the ongoing 'culture war'. One with fire in its belly that outright states all landlords should get in the sea and other incendiary poo poo. Be the dangerous leftists the press says Labour is anyway. It's loving tiresome, this circus of pretending everything is normal, or that we can even get back to normal. Covid, climate change, unrest, inequality. It's all going out of control. Nothing is going to put these fires out. They're going to have to burn themselves out. The Tories and Labour are dinosaurs that won't survive the violence to come. The fight is going to be what new politics emerge out of the rubble.
