He doesn't have any say in it. Once he's no longer party leader, the Tories send their new chosen leader to request Her Majesty's permission to serve and he/she becomes PM. If Boris then refuses to leave Downing Street, there's an armed officer on duty inside at all times who will escort the intruder from the premises.

Summary: Boris will step down, or he will leave Number 10 either in handcuffs or a body bag.

LOL at believing this

my dad gave me his book post-capitalism ages ago and i remember thinking it was dumb even then

its basically about how the left is too concerned with long dead old european thinkers like marx and lenin, but actually theres this OTHER long dead russian guy who got it all right and we should all follow instead. then no ideas on how to apply any of it

e: by far the "best" lefty book though was Capitalist Realism which was all about how miserable and poo poo everything is, but dont worry we can come up with an alternative together.
then before that happened the author killed himself because his GP couldn't see him coz the NHS is dead

blindsight is like 30% of a really good scifi idea then 6 other less good scifi ideas including vampires, then the sequel is all about the bad ideas

in terms of goon book recommendations its better than Malazan at least

Everyone itt is a good bunch of lasses and lads and it'll all come out right in the end

And if it doesn't well it ended so it's fine anyway

And if doesn't end well there was no way for it to all come out anything so its also fine

I aim to force some sort of existence after I die purely so I can find the person responsible for things generally and make them unhappy about it.

Which will be very easy because I will also be unhappy about it.

I hope nobody spoils the somewhat obvious twist at the end

We aren't getting independence sorry, the snp have one of the cushiest positions of any political party in the world, running a 1 party state where they take credit for everything good without accepting any blame for anything that goes wrong and not having any actual work to do besides putting gaelic on roadsigns

Meanwhile Scottish politics stays completely static because everyone keeps going "well at least independence might happen" for a decade now

I mean yeah, he lied to the membership to get elected and anyone who voted for him was a rube. That's politics.

Like all the complaining about left wing purging, it's just the labour left announcing how hard theyre being owned. They shoulda done some politics too while they were "in power"

The labour right are just playing the same game better, the Labour left are just a lot worse at sabotage when out of power and purging while in power.

If I was a lefty Labour MP I'd be trying to stop Starmer too

RRR is good, definitely very hindu. Also kinda funny I've seen multiple people defend it as pro Muslim because one of the MCs pretends to be Muslim while in disguise and I guess nobody insults them for it.

Its funny cause if anything it majorly downplays how cruel the Raj is
Then they get slaughtered by the hundred it owns

Arguing over individual votes is stupid. Your individual vote makes gently caress all difference so just vote for what you'd actually want.

Fucks sake, my ol grandad didn't fight jerries for you to get pressured into voting against your interests and call it tactical

If you're talking collectively then yes, obviously it'd be better if everyone voted for good parties not poo poo ones

Re lesser evil voting:

I completely get being revolted at the current state of Labour and would not begrudge anyone the right do do as they see fit as a result.

I do think it's important to be honest about what not voting will actually achieve, though. All this talk of forcing Labour left by not voting is sheer fantasy. What will instead happen is they will work harder to capture the votes of those who *do* participate and everyone who doesn't vote gets hosed.

The only hope of achieving proper leftist representation is through a change in the voting system, and that will only ever happen under someone other than the Tories. That's just how it is.

You probably should at least bother voting, just don't vote for what you don't want.

Voting for tiny lovely left wing parties at least registers somewhere that you and people like you support these ideas and would vote for them.

Not that that actually materially matters since currently Labour is actively hostile to left wing ideas anyway, theyr not going to suddenly become good because there's votes in it, we've seen that over and over.

But if you vote for Labour despite not being a thatcherite... Well what message is that meant to send them?

Tactical voting is an obvious fraud if you think about it for five seconds, but it's important nobody does otherwise we don't look very democratic

A party that wins via fptp isn't gonna get rid of it. New Labour pledged a referundum on it in 1997 and then just didn't do it iirc

The idea of voting for Starmer, as a lefty, to make things better is just as much pointless cope as wishing for a revolution imo
Theyr both just that, vote for who you want and don't think it's so drat important, theyr just gonna drag us all to hell regardless or they'll hit some reality threshold and be deposed.

I don't think that's always the case, but it is with our options right now. But to some people the idea of both of our whole TWO parties being poo poo and harmful for an election cycle or five is inconceivable.

do truss or rishi even have as evil a past as starmer?

rishi is a sachs man which is pretty loving bad but i dunno if it quite matches up.

starmer made his whole career out of solemnly saying the tories didnt do crimes then apologising when it became clear they had, punctuated by cracking down on protestors, being outflanked on the left by theresa may while trying to get an autistic guy put in US supermax and helping MI6 cover up genital torture

he's REALLY not the kind of person you want as PM he'd be very dangerous, i think you can see where he stands as a lawyer with his complete non-opposition to the spycops bill that trashed the rule of law and made crimes legal for cops

hes the avatar of the authoritarian current in labour which has been very bad for the UK and leaves us in a much worse position every time the tories take back power

Man you do see that sometimes. That 'everybody else just needs to admit that they want to gently caress kids, like I do!' attitude. It reminds me of a lot of the times people get furious about 'virtue signalling' because it's easier for them to believe that somebody is faking 'virtue' for attention than to believe that someone else has different thoughts and values to them. Or how thieves think everyone steals, and rapists think everyone rapes, but that other people just get away with it more. The 'I'm just saying what everyone's thinking' bit. It's astonishing.

Yeah I got a mate who said he wouildnt trust any of his male friends to be left alone with a kid

So now he's the only one on my list of male friends I wouldn't trust with a kid lol

Now the thread is just gonna be AI art. Here's my goes:









It's interesting, I got into this stuff while reading Making of the English Working Class and now I'm seeing concept art basically get fully automated. You can make some really good art with this thing.

I've been using it to make front covers for books in my brain, npcs for rpg campaigns, concept art for games etc. It's great for inspiration. It also kinda puts the means of art production in the hands of the masses without a gate of technical skill.

I was also checking out the AI writing and AI music and... Yeah you could basically make AI content already thst would be at least as good as most online content.
