Ayup. https://twitter.com/jasongroves1/status/1631339561690308621?s=46&t=ARI_L-v32Oind1-d9B3a3Q It's grimly fascinating to see whether and for how long Labour can keep their gaggle of corrupt, racist weirdos out of serious press scrutiny, because it's so obvious that once the Great Noticing starts, they'll disintegrate even faster than the Tories.

Marmaduke! posted:Exactly, and by ignoring/encouraging/taking part in these behaviours under Corbyn he's absolutely setting himself up to receive exactly the same treatment when he steps out of line. Starmer will never have a single problem with doing as he's told/as he believes his job responsibilities to be (I think we need to acknowledge that he's not just taking orders, he actually is Like That by default, not least because he used to be one of the guys giving orders) and toeing the Establishment line. The problems for him will arise when things next go to poo poo for the establishment and someone needs a scapegoat, or perhaps when the awful, soul-grinding machine he's devoted his life to causes him to blurt out something so monstrous that it causes organic, grassroots public outrage that the papers choose to spur on for sheer devilry.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:But further to my previous point about the tories having discovered that nothing matters and you can do or say anything, the very fact that Keith got through the interview and didn't answer the question could be viewed as a success. It shouldn't, but I bet he sees it that way and I bet it won't influence anyone either way. Essentially, it's a test of the media's largesse. He made it clear that it's an awkward question that he doesn't want to talk about it, and so whether they choose to dig into it like hungry spaniels with an entire roast chicken is entirely down to how invested they are in monstering him are this particular moment in time.

Genuinely still reeling from the fact that the government literally put out a poster saying 'we will legalise slavery' and the main opposition attacked them for being soft on immigration. That's it. That's seriously it. There genuinely is no bottom now. Fuckin' legalised slavery. They didn't even use any polite euphemisms. Just straight-up 'it's OK to enslave these people'. https://twitter.com/rishisunak/status/1633158789103747072?s=46&t=ARI_L-v32Oind1-d9B3a3Q Welcome to fascism.

Though I think it's fair to say that they're significantly outnumbered by gentile Zionists with the same views and an obsessive urge to police any actual Jews who don't share said views, as we saw with the Labour antisemitism mess.

I was mainly curious for myself about how deeply they acknowledged their intellectual debt to Mussolini/embraced his ideology for themselves. They were fascist, sure, but did they see themselves as fascists in those exact words? I can believe that they did, but I don't have hard evidence.

Bobby Deluxe posted:The quick response is usually "They arrested and executed people for being socialists [name], that doesn't make any loving sense." Though that's not necessarily that convincing a counterargument when you've seen Trotskyite sects at work... Really, the biggest argument against Nazism actually being socialist is looking up which government first coined the term 'privatisation'.

Found the transcript, and he really does make it 100% clear. quote:We are fully conscious of the fact that a second revolution, where the assumption of power occurred earlier than it did in our country, proceeded parallel with ours. The Fascist Revolution, too, yielded the same results. Complete identity exists between our two revolutions, not only as regards aims, but also as regards methods. Over and above this there is our friendship, which is more than cooperation with a purpose in view.

Guavanaut posted:The relevant parts: I think he's going further than that - he's saying that Nazism is 100% fascist, in a way that gives Mussolini direct intellectual credit for all of his policies. He only separates the two as a token of respect. In that light, I think Hitler is a good source on the subject, seeing as he states outright that he actually tried to make Nazism as fascist as possible.

The Perfect Element posted:Love how Labour's core press strategy is 'avoid upsetting racists at all costs'. I think it's a sincere ideological position. Starmerism is extremely Blue Labour - and I don't mean that as an insult (even though it is one, and deservedly) but as a very specific description of a discrete ideological tendency. Making the party a safe place for bigots who might be up for a vaguely socialism-flavoured expansion of state power is an actual policy objective, not just a result of apathy and cowardice.
