Starmer embracing All The Worst Bits of flag-hugging is not Cap Brit at all.

/\ Is MI;13 the series that had the punk Tinkerbell and 'John Lennon was a Skrull defector'? because if so yes. That said the panel says she's Cap Brit and that was definitely the vibe I got from the defending-London-Bridge-and-the-Sword-accepts-her story but fair enough, will not pretend to expertise on modern Cap Brit.

The Israeli security services did not train the police who killed George Floyd. They did not learn that tactic from the Israelis. The American police are quite capable of figuring out how to oppress people all by themselves - they’ve had enough practise. Drawing a link between George Floyd’s murder and Israel where there is none is what? An innocent mistake? A classic antisemitic trope is blaming Jews (or the Jewish state) for all the ills in the world. US police are trained by many other countries but only Israel was mentioned. Curious.

To be very loving clear I don't think any police service in the world trains its officers to murder civilians. Call me a bootlicker for that if thou wilt.

To merely state facts Israeli security services are defending a settler-colonialist state from aggressive locals, and the majority of US states do combined training between local police and Israeli contractors. Peakes was making an observation, that you are absolutely correct she shouldn't have stated as fact, that Chauvin vs Floyd looks a lot like IDF vs Palestinians.

What's "curious" is that Judaism has literally nothing to do with any of the discussion, cannot stress enough that my mates/frankly any jewish person are not an ethnic shield you can use to defend systemic nationalistic wrongdoing.

I... think the US literally does do that, though. They have a whole bunch of programs about poo poo like "warrior" and "sheepdog" mentality where they literally train cops to be basically judge dredd, and that everyone is trying to kill them and that they shouldn't think twice about doing whatever they think is right because they literally are the law.

I suppose, if you're very charitable, you could interpret this as being well meaning but the practical effect is that they are literally just training their cops to murder civilians through a combination of perceiving everything as a threat and dehumanizing non-cops.

Right but that cringe poo poo has to be weighed against the legal responsibilities and workplace guidelines US cops nominally, and let's be real broadly, have to follow, ACAB etc but I'm 100% certain that a random group empowered with US cop powers and no accountability would behave significantly worse than the current US cops do, and given that cops tend to be authoritarian right-wing bullies that suggests the accountability measures are doing something positive.

In the End of History days the NHS was just something to extract profit from to help the rich, the pandemic has shown that a functional health service can reduce potentially much bigger economic hits to the rich from being so severe.

you know, if i recall the last time i had this particular sensation of working against the UKMT was, if my recollection serves me i think back in the people's vote days - i would say, "that's insane" and "that would cost us the election" , and "people would react in an extremely negative way to their vote being negated and we would the north for a generation", etc and i would get back "brexit is a racist endeavour", "people deserve a vote", "labour may lose the cities (lmao) if we don't support this" etc - things possibly trivially true but completely unrelated to my point.

it was impossible to argue about the instance that we were talking about because instead people listened to their social media bubbles and the press, got told that the second vote was possible, moral and desirable and that corbyn would survive it - in fact could never possibly survive not aiming square for his own foot. i think about that sometimes.

They already wasted the first lockdown in the name of making number go up, 100k are dead and they show no sign of breaking the cycle, or even being challenged to do so by current Labour leadership. So no, I'm not going to feel any better if the rules are relaxed and I can exercise properly again, when I know that the process of doing so is going to kill even more in another wave.

Apart from ATOMS stupidity is there a particular reason not to think about voting Green? I know they're a bit melty but look at the competition here.

As a former Green member and paid employee for the party they are profoundly unserious about achieving any of their stated aims. If you've ever read Polly Toynbee you'll get the vibe, it's people that are happy, comfortable and well-paid pointing out problems but actively shrinking away from doing anything difficult that might materially help the solutions be achieved because the status quo is comfortable for them. The leadership are over-paid hobbyists exploiting people that actually want to save the planet.

https://twitter.com/sianberry/status/1321825660030095361?lang=en

On the day that Corbs got kicked from Labour there were obviously people that were previously in Labour feeling that's a bridge too far and they quit the party, don't think that's smart but some people were obviously gonna do it. The response from the leader of the Greens, the obvious home for those people, was complete aggression, it was cosigning all the obviously biased, bad-faith, hateful media presentation that people who wanted a lefty alternative to lovely neoliberalism were actually inherently suspect bigots. It was disgusting on it's own but was also emblematic of how useless the Greens are, if the leadership actually gave a gently caress about systemically helping the planet it would recognise that there is no possible loving path to saving the planet that involves actively placating the Daily Mail, the existing power structures will have to be tackled at some point, but that's not what the Greens choose to do.

I've never seen a good argument against flight mile quotas. Basically everyone gets a certain number of miles they're allowed to fly each year, enough that a normal person wouldn't hit the limit. The rich with their insatiable plane-lust will obviously want more so they can buy more miles from poorer people that can sell the miles they wouldn't have been using anyway.

Creates a new market that efficiently transfers wealth from rich to poor people and normalises the idea of flight restrictions, which assuming no magical clean tech emerges is going to have to be limited at some point so the planet doesn't die.

Scikar posted:

This would be lovely for the same reasons as fishing quotas and carbon credits. The airlines, who don't care who is flying as long as somebody is and pays for it, would continuously lobby for the quota to be as high as possible. The tiny proportion of frequent flyers who currently account for a vastly disproportionate amount of the travel and carbon emissions would argue that their travel is now not causing any problems so long as they pay for the credits. And you just know that any money people did make from selling their credits would be deducted from any benefits they might receive anyway - it's unlike to leave the poorest any better off. All that effort, little help to those who need it the most, no effect on climate change, and the rich have an excuse to deflect blame for it. If you're going to put up quotas, they should be fixed, non-transferrable, and tax the everliving gently caress out of any travel that exceeds them.

Airlines will lobby against anything which limits flights to address climate change, without magic clean tech being imminent that's a fake argument because it could be applied to literally any measure that reduces flight miles within capitalism. There's no reason to declare flight miles would necessarily be reduced from benefits, that's stupid 'ugh donchaknow any policy idea is actually bad because hellworld' it's a massive catastrophising assumption.

Borrovan posted:

Anything that wasn't deducted straight from benefits or hoovered up by predatory brokers would be negated anyway when most of the population immediately starts selling all of their miles every year and markets adjust to suck the extra money straight back off them (much like UBI without rent/price controls). The only effect would be that only rich people can travel at all, which they continue to do literally all they want.

Why do you idiots assume that this would have anything to do with benefits, the entire concept is that it's a universal measure and please give me a more specific definition of 'predatory brokers' because a single desirable commodity with a perhaps floating but fundamentally reliable value seems like 'predatory brokers' would be a non-issue. "The only effect would be that only rich people can travel at all" is such a massive reach that you need to justify it at least somehow.

FYI it's fine to say 'i dunno that policy might cause problems' but you morons are declaring it awful based on absolutely no logical reasoning.

You claimed it would be an efficient wealth transfer from the rich to the poor, and you didn't even bother to claim it would actually reduce carbon emissions from aircraft, only that it would lay the groundwork for future flight restrictions (when? after it's already too late?). You made these assertions without any reasoning or consideration for how they would actually happen. But of course, the people pointing out ways that it might not work are the idiots.

If all citizens equally recieve a resource that the wealthy luxuriat and business fliers disproportionately use and a single specific market mechanism would allow that resource to be traded then you are insane to say it wouldn't be an incredibly efficient wealth transfer mechanism. It would also be politically popular, or at least achievable, because '99% of people get money directly from the richest 1%, it's not charity or taxation it's The Market' is npt a contentious or difficult concept it's populist in the best possible way.

"(when? after it's already too late?)" now you have to do more than critique because you're claiming a flaw of the policy is that it's insufficient and only lays the groundwork for future more effective policy and yeah no poo poo, I acknowledged that in the first post. If you think it's bad then suggest a more effective policy.

Scikar posted:

I disagree that it would be an efficient wealth transfer. Maybe you could include some numbers here so we could evaluate what qualifies as efficient. I also don't think it would reduce emissions, presumably you don't either as you didn't claim it - assume the airlines get no say in this policy, and you limit total passenger miles to say 50% of current. The airlines could reduce the number of seats on planes and raise prices - same number of flights, similar level of emissions (maybe we can be generous here and say they will favour smaller, more efficient aircraft, but aircraft purchasing cycles are measured in decades), only now that one holiday abroad per year is too expensive for some people who can currently afford it.

If you want to say this is a good policy, show some working. Maybe then you can call people idiots.

I legit think that doing the numbers would support my point, and if you want to keep being an obnoxious wee prick in defense of (?) then we can do that but your disagreement that a resource distributed universally wouldn't lead to redistribution seems logically incoherent.

Also you seem to be assuming a flexibility of assets that is literally impossible for the airline industry, planes are a big deal.

If the meal were presented with toast then the hash brown can gettaway, if not then the mushrooms but would be extremely sad to see them go.

Tip those beans right in the bin. I'm not sure why there are two different types of bacon but I'm willing to roll with it.

They did the thing where the body of the rasher is cut off after it's cooked but then the streaky bit sits in the pan for a few more seconds to crisp up a little, it's god-tier cafe stuff.

Edit: I'll grant you that the lack of definite toast absolutely reduces the relative value of the beans but under no circumstances does that mean put them in the bin, behave.

The toast is under the egg. A savvy move, as toast typically takes up an insane amount of valuable plate real estate.

Good spot, it looks like not enough toast for the meal but is enough that the hash brown is 100% the discarded item.

It's missing chips, peeled plum tomatoes cooked until the juice reduces and thickens, and that fried bread is gonna go soggy under the egg, it should be on a plate with the toast there instead on soak duty

If toast is ever on the plate from the start then we're looking at an imperfect breakfast to be fair, side plate or that wierd little vertical rack is fine though I'll admit a preference for a side plate if only to butter on.

Chips at breakfast is just wrong.
