I reckon CBT will age very poorly, maybe there's some real research there and the tories are just loving it up, but being "treated" by what seems to be a 20 year old who went on some seminars, and that treatment essentially coming down to her making me write a list of my bad thoughts and then promise not to think them, is some kafkaesque poo poo.

The NHS has a kind of cultural inertia that means there are even tory voters who support it, but that's only because it already exists. If the NHS didn't exist and you suggested it today, most of the Labour party would just laugh at you.

You don't even need all the spices, a lot of the time that "chef" taste in food is just a lot of salt and butter used in the right way. This is basically the backbone of French civilisation.

Nowhere in the UK has any value to anywhere else other than as a tax haven or Being London. Build a bridge between Aberdeen and Amsterdam. Simple.

feedmegin posted:I mean, I get your point of view, but substitute 'loving cunts in the home counties' for 'Polish people' and 'the EU' for 'England' and you could be up there on the stage with Nigel Farage. Right down to the 'it'll bankrupt us but OUR SOVEREIGNTY'. Sure, but let's consider it in context. One of these things is wanting to split from a larger whole to become more left wing, one is wanting to split from a larger whole to become more right wing. These are actually different things.

OwlFancier posted:As I said, I think the question is more whether or not the process is likely to lead to an improvement in conditions or whether it is far better placed to allow a different set of rich wankers to start funnelling a load of money to themselves, or arrange their own deals with the same rich wankers who funnel money out of everyone's pockets because capitalism is international and governments trend towards being its clients. Yeah but we should probably disconnect "conditions" from "GDP" and "infinite growth quarter-on-quarter". We could be getting happier as people while the "GDP" is going down, our purchasing power parity could go up even.

Scikar posted:They still don't get it. The plan is morally abhorrent and that's all you need to oppose it. There is absolutely no need to get into a discussion of whether it's technically feasible or how much it costs, that just suggests that somehow it would be more acceptable if only it were cheaper. Yeah it's worse if anything. If you ARE going to deport them, don't penny pinch on that, Starmer would probably save money by launching them to Rwanda on a big catapult if it focus grouped well (it would).

"An informal study from 2011 entitled "A Conspiracy of Hogs: The McRib as Arbitrage" illustrates a correlation between the price of pork and the timing of McDonald's offering the sandwich; all five of the US McRib offerings between 2005 and 2011 occurred during low points in the price of bulk pork.[31]"

One day the free market will decide we eat bugs and it'll be advertised to us and we will love it.

Tesseraction posted:Someone on the TrashFuture discord worked at the warehouse responsible a while back and said it's just a cascade of privatisation ruining everything. Yeah I guess you're right, but drat that's dark. If you go by the swiss cheese model of accident causation there's not even any cheese left, just a void in space. Capitalism designed and manufactured an industrial strength floor cleaner that is apparently indistinguishable enough from fresh milk that it can be served to multiple people and they will drink it, and many people in the chain had to distribute it alongside fresh milk in a way where they got confused for each other. Just one person in that chain could have stopped it but they were probably all powerless (or uncaring of the consequences).

People will listen to a source talking about the UK and think "haha, obvious bullshit" but then they'll listen to that same source talking about a different country on the otherside of the planet and then become an expert on how much "freedom" that country has.

OwlFancier posted:If there is a breakdown in society to the point that people are just shooting each other in the street then any sort of leftist organization is going to be utterly wiped out regardless of how many guns they have, and every day they persist in that fantasy that they can overthrow the government but in a good way, more children get shot to death because they all ultimately perpetuate the idea that you can and should shoot your way out of every problem and the only way to end an arms race is to win it. Yeah Marx wasn't some prophet who we have to follow, I know what he had to say about guns, but we can and should accept the material conditions around guns and the ownership of them have changed, and our tactics should change. No modern government is going to be afraid of a few hundred leftists with rifles. But they will love their brownshirts mysteriously ending up with guns and exact intel on where all the commies are. We're far beyond the idea of "Stop quoting laws to men with swords", because they're not swords now, they're flying jets with godlike power, and it's not just some oil and a leather scabbard needed to maintain them. The scale has changed.
