With ID cards, it's a combination (in retrospect) of most of the concerns about civil liberties either happening via the government anyway, or being taken up by the new giant tech companies like Facebook et al. Building a giant database with everyone's details in is more concerning when it's the first, rather than the forty-fifth and ten of them got hacked last month. Plus how absolutely dogshit New Labour were at tech procurement in a way that the government is still dealing with and will be for years to come. If they had built and maintained the system and Theresa May hadn't performatively shitcanned it, it would be loving garbage on a level to make "Gov.uk Verify" weep.

The Rosie Kay thing is funny to watch the terf press try to dress up as another great injustice - even the BBC article, which opens by explaining at length that she's a great talent we should unconditionally respect - leaves you with a good impression of exactly what kind of boss-at-the-work-barbecue she was.

ThomasPaine posted:They might try but it isn't sustainable because sooner or later pandemic fatigue kicks in and people just start ignoring it en masse. Arguably it already has amongst lots of the population. I doubt lots of people would pay a bit of attention if the govt called a lockdown tomorrow, and even if they tried to criminally enforce measures - whether or not that's a good strategy in the first place - there comes a point where the sheer scale of it means you just can't arrest everyone. The virus also kills businesses. The Tim Martins of the world might want to insist otherwise, but a dead employee can't sell a poo poo pint to a dead punter. That's the pattern we're seeing - while the virus isn't absolutely rampant, the government does nothing, when it is, they intervene once the number of ill people is actually loving everything up. I don't put too much stock in pandemic fatigue as an actual mover. The vast majority of Britains have stoically ignored the last ten years of creeping authoritarianism, why start objecting now? Piers Corbyn will march on parliament with 20,000 supporters, get kettled and go home. Periods of being told slightly less to do nothing but work and school followed by periods of being told slightly more to do nothing but work and school. Jedit posted:There's also the passing fact that the Tories don't give a tuppenny gently caress about human life other than their own. Definitely not arguing with this.

Comrade Fakename posted:This took me quite a bit of research just to work out what this was even about. For the benefit of anyone who needs it: these two are a pair of extremely pretentious girls who have an ostensibly leftist podcast called Red Scare, which has become notorious since they’ve galaxy brained themselves into becoming chummy with Alex Jones (of Infowars, not The One Show). The blonde one with the Russian name is also the girl Greg gets with in the most recent season of Succession. There's buckets of deeply worthless red scare twitter lore to get into (or avoid) but I just wanted to put across the basic irritation of two new york podcasters dressing up in city shirts and saying they deeply feel the "Mancunian Ethos" of The Smiths.

One of the thing that's stuck with me from reading part of a big book on millenarism during lockdown is the incredibly long (1000+ year) history of people pointing to things and saying "yep, that's the mark of the beast alright. end days a-coming."
