LET ME SEE YOUR WAR LIPS YOU BLOODY WANKERS! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmn0jke547r5o
<If the UK suddenly found itself at war, would you know what to do? Do you know what would be expected of you?
>The government wants us all to start preparing for severe disruption to our lives. It wants us to stockpile canned food and drinking water, strengthen our civic resilience, and plan for the possibility of war.
>Work has begun on the government's so-called "war book", which hasn't been updated in decades.
>The UK's most senior soldier has sounded the alarm. The Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton this week said the threat from Russia meant Britain was living through the "most dangerous" period of his 35-year career in the armed forces.
>But what is the threat? In 1940 the danger of a German invasion of the UK was very real. But the chances of Russian tanks rolling up Whitehall are surely negligible.
>"It's not the tanks you need to worry about," says historian Margaret MacMillan, author of War: How Conflict Shaped Us.
>"It's the cutting of cables on the ocean floor. It's the hacking into systems on which so many things depend. The possibility for asymmetric war, for cyber war, is growing by leaps and bounds."
>But are we ready? After 80 years without war on our own soil, are we, as a society, psychologically prepared for it? Are we ready to approve large increases in defence spending, and for the sacrifices that that might entail in other areas of our national life? Or does the threat seem too far-fetched to be real? Leninhat threatened me in Croydon
They do realize they’ll need BAME soldiers if they want to have even close to the manpower needed for war right?
>>2917112I am not one of those "White people are just objectively worse" liberals but there is something to be said that the average provincial Briton (and I specifically include Scots in this, Welsh I am not too sure I feel this may be true for South Wales but not North) essentially has no concept of civic life. Thorough suburbanisation along with an inverse population pyramid has essentially killed any public culture that wasn't perpetuated by deep rooted tradition (think Abbotts Bromley and its stag dancing). Rural communities made up of a plethora of different kinds of farmers, agricultural labourers, and supporting industries are extinct in Britain. What that leaves are villages mostly full of those with intergenerational wealth or urban emigres who hate anything public and live entirely within the walls of their homes (which is also a part of the death of the pub). In contrast, most 21st century migrants come from places with active street culture (especially thinking of the arab world/MENA here) which fundamentally makes them more personable. The ones who aren't are usually lumpenised and quasi-organised into gangs (which the racialists will never admit is in essence a mirror of their white counterparts, something that has a long tradition in britain including the street gangs of the victorian era, the razor gangs of the interwar period, and the "Drugs" of the 1970s) and do make the public realm hostile. However in comparison you get the rest of everyone else. Any youth who wants to live in a thriving society moves to the cities today, so you get working class and middle class civic culture in London, Manchester, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff, Edinburgh etc. This is in essence a personality/psychological brain drain where those who want to build and preserve a public realm are pushed to urban areas and what is left behind are parochials who are fundamentally asocial. There is no real way to "fix" this essentially, it is a vicious cycle that would require social engineering that the british state isn't competent enough to do to fix.
>>2917069Questions a bit late to be asking after announcing we produce drones for Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with, knowing that often results in civilian casualties.
>>2917172North South divide is fake. Just fucking northerners loving to whinge about how they believe they have it worse than everyone else.
>>2917177No, no.
It's certainly true that there is a class and cultural difference between the North and South of England. This is not just Thatcher-era rubbish.
>>2917178This image doesn't show a clear north-south divide.
>>2917179The Midlands and up are considered as approaching the North (e.g. Birmingham typically being the middle-ground between each), and in the most Northern parts (East/West), we see the most deprivation.
do you think if there is a war we will get footage of lefty pollers being droned to death in some random empty field in eastern europe?
or have all of leftypol escaped to south america and thailand by now
>>2917182Is scotland not in the north? Is Wales not in the south?
Also the SW bit hides a lot. I have spoken time and time again how parts of Bristol constantly ranks some of the worst measures on poverty and mobility related issues in the country.
Northerners are obsessed with spitting on you and telling you how much worse the rain is up there. I really despise it.
>>2917191North/South refers to England
In Scotland you also have the Highlands and Lowlands
>>2917201>He's not a true Sheeran!Some serious blood feuds happening here.
>>2917184The hyperwar is not happening and in the first place Russia can't deal with Ukraine. Going to war with all of Europe would be suicidal for them and European governments don't want it either. The militarization shit is being shilled because they want an excuse to securitize society through mass surveillance and stamp out dissent to another 1000 years of liberal fascism with technocratic characteristics.
>>2917200It's kind of weird what's happening to Ed Sheeran, I mean I know he's a zionist, but people keep "denouncing" Ed Sheeran or "supporting" Macklemore without ever mentioning Palestine or Israel a single time. He's pretty much a PR opportunity to launder OTHER zionists and if his own family is putting him under is because it's timely, holy shit it's so fucked how little Palestine matters, and also Ed Sheeran's family is every bit as ghoulish as Ed Sheeran himself.
>>2917201>upper class wanker is a wanker and everyone who knows him irl hates himcommon trope among the upper class, you dont get into the 100's of millions without some serious personality malfunction
>>2917191Scotland isnt the 'north', the cutsoff at the border.
Scotlands deprivation is more city and town based with the highlands being composed of either extremely poor or extremely rich, very little inbetween.
>>2917262At least mackrellmore gave his monies from the tour to Palestinian organization and tells his fans none of that nonsense matters. so fair enough.
>>2917172Sorry but this is mostly wrong. There is no real "white flight" in England (it couldnt exist in Scotland or Wales). What you do have in England is a upward mobility of working classes moving to New Towns (Stevenage, Epping, Kettering etc.) and a middle class outfilling from the cities (which is largely from the metropoles to commuter towns). The former is all but ended but occured when the working class was hegemonically white (tho sectarian and ethnically diverse; catholic irish, askhenazi jews, plenty of slavs & eastern europeans who later assimiliated). The latter is an ongoing process but is also "colourblind"; plenty of middle class blacks and certainly asians are moving to hertfordshire from London.
Also you are wrong the North does have a strong culture of hospitality; something that is being degraded by southern migration to the northern metropoles. Ask anyone in Manchester and they will tell you how people used to talk on the buses but don't anymore.
>>2917262Also the bad thing wasnt "Ed Sheeran being a zionist" it was a zionist billaionaire censoring Macklemore. Sheeran was a lackey.
>>2917359so you're saying zio-ed is just a dog of the zionists?
>>2917164I basically agree but would also caveat that pre-collapse rural life was also terrible in its own way.
We have - but are moving to reverse - the only policy the state is capable of implementing to ameliorate the situation, mass access to higher education. Give someone unfortunate to be born in one of those areas a token sum to move to a city. The minute they've dipped their toe in the water of something better, moving back becomes unthinkable. Then you just let demography do the work.
>>2917177It's very real and Scotland is an obvious illustration of how. Scotland and Northern England are broadly similar demographically, with most differences disfavouring Scotland, yet Scotland generally gets better results per-head than northern England because it has been given a modicum of autonomy through devolution.
There's been a long-running distaste in southern England for the north. The industrial revolution briefly tipped the balance the wrong way, but pretty much every major state initiative has been designed to reverse the trend: the postwar centralisation of the railways so that instead of regional companies everywhere you've got 4 big firms headquartered in London, then nationalisation after WW2 - again, headquartering the lot in London - then Thatcher's smashing of local councils, privatisation of firms to rent-seekers all based in London, and so on.
(And I say London here metonymically, but I'm not just London bashing: London, after all, lost
their council under Thatcher. What you should resent is not "the South", but centralisation in general.)
https://tomforth.co.uk/whynorthenglandispoor/ >Without this constraint, Thatcher could destroy all government power outside of South East England. She did just that. Michael Heseltine, the Minister who made so much of the destruction happen, describes it as the greatest regret of his political career and he has spent much of his life trying, with some success, to undo the damage he executed.>The Metropolitan counties were abolished, fragmenting Northern cities into powerless chunks. Buses in those powerless chunks, one of the last remaining local services, were privatised. The Northern cities (London was treated differently for underlying reasons which should be obvious if you’ve read this far) were banned from interfering in public transport in any way. The Mechanics Institutes which the North had built largely in the face of a ban on Northern universities and which had evolved into Polytechnics and Technical Colleges were removed from local control and have since been run down to shadows of their former selves. Right-to-buy forced local governments to sell social housing, among their largest asset bases and a stable source of income, to tenants at well below market rates and give a portion of the proceeds to the central government. Powers of local governments to raise taxes were substantially removed>While Thatcher promoted the market and competition for the private sector, she created a central monopoly on the power of government. Northern cities did not privatise their remaining services because Thatcher won the argument for liberalism. Northern cities privatised their remaining services because their leaders would go to jail and Thatcher would do it for them if they refused to. The last flicker of the Northern power that the industrial revolution had created was stamped out.>"You can just do things" is an emerging meme in the pro-growth community, but since Thatcher that has been largely untrue in North England. Most of the time, someone from central government will block you, if you succeed they will try and stop you, and if you continue succeeding they will subsidise your competitors.>Britain’s equivalents of Detroit (Birmingham), Chicago (Manchester and Liverpool), and Pittsburgh (Sheffield) have not been able to bounce back from deindustrialisation in anything like the same way. They have nowhere near the same powers. Alternatives to Austin, Miami, or Phoenix similarly have no chance of emerging, lest they pose a competition to South East England. We cannot just do things.>Scotland could see what was happening. It had signed up to be part of a United Kingdom, not complete rule from London. Support for independence rose from below 15% to over 40% under Thatcher. Tony Blair’s devolution to Scotland brought that back down and freed Scotland up to outperform North England, but the return of the Conservatives to power and the huge centralisation of government within England over the last fifteen years has pushed support for Scottish independence back up to a majority view among the working age of Scotland.+
https://tomforth.co.uk/unreasonablesuccess/ on Scottish devolution.
and for the record, I think the majority of Scottish governments have been duds. It's not like they're super-competent and everyone else is shit, they're just actually vaguely close to the people they govern!Though Scotland, too, has that most British of diseases, love of centralisation… this time in Edinburgh. Reminder communists should refuse to fight in any stupid wars our government might try to conscript us for.
Unless it's a proletarian war against imperialism & colonialism or total class war I'm staying at home.
That said, a period of enforced mass conscription and the shipping off of British soldiers to foreign lands would however be the prime time to take action against the state.
>>2917356>No white flightMiddle class Britons leaving the UK is part of the White flight
>Southern hospitalityI was referring to the American South
>>2917393Most "patriots" call the king a Muslim these days
>>2917384i wish there were more anti-war neoliberals. if you just total up the economic cost, in cash terms, even perhaps excluding the value of human life and focusing only on the destruction of capital investment, war is still one of the most grotesquely stupid things we engage in.
the case is in some practical ways stronger (or at least more stubborn) than the anti-imperialist one, since one can always rationalise why this particular war is actually cool and leftist (and people will be paid overtime to do so in the event a war actually breaks out - incidentally, MI5, i'll take your money to do so if you let me. this is an open application for the job.) but you cannot do the same with a monetary argument. it does not matter which country is in the right if you can do the maths and realise either would do better to immediately capitulate, since even naked inefficient looting by foreign occupiers would be less costly than blowing the whole place up. there is nothing any government wants that is worth burning down a factory for, let alone dying for.
but pacifism appeals to bleeding hearts and neoliberalism to sociopaths, so this never happens :( >>2917614bourgeois gays need to be gulaged

>>2917392>Middle class Britons leaving the UK is part of the White flightMiddle Class brits don't leave britain though, they move to the countryside. Working class britons leave britain (for Spain, Australia) which is more down to purchasing power (a taxi driver can afford to retire at 55 in Spain but not in London).
>>2917614The actual story is really funny. He was with this escort on a coke bender and started getting paranoid the escort was going through his computer and spying on him for the paparazzi and chased him down the street naked, as far as i remember.
>>2917700>He was with this escort on a coke bender and started getting paranoid the escort was going through his computer and spying on him for the paparazzi and chased him down the street naked, as far as i remember.Yes but the thing he specifically went to prison for was that after chasing down the the Norwegian male prostitute he'd been doing coke with, he kidnapped him, tied him to a radiator, and whipped him with a metal chain to try to force him to confess he was actually a secret paparazzi spy.

>>2917802It is really odd that the only non-captured England party is the center-right free market party, you'd think it would be labour or the greens. Is it due to them being unconditional Eurocrats?
But then again i remember Theresa May also being quite progressive on the question, and even pre-grift Liz Truss (rip). May was also the last half competent PM for other reasons.

>>2917135Ofc it’s AI because most recruits will be zoomers, and we all know zoomers will do anything short of sexual prostitution to get free housing, a decent education, access to above-average healthcare, and a humane wage.
>>2917364That’s an interesting contrast to the more decentralised Germany and the better-designed Netherlands.
For example, Berlin is Germany’s capitol and most populous city and even then its far less populous than London. Likewise, the UK is far more car-centric and its urbanism is less developed than that of the Netherlands. And this extends to the German economy as not every major company is HQ’ed in Berlin, many are located in Hamburg with their own decentralised supply chains located across the country.
As for London, are you even surprised? That metropolis might as well be its own country considering how much it differs from the rest of the UK. The gap is comparable to the socioeconomic one between Dubai and the rest of west Asia, which doables as Dubai is one of the financial centres of the world, cosmopolitan and is basically a striver capitol city.
Besides the City of London being a self-governing entity for centuries to the point that even the London assembly has no jurisdiction over it, London seems to be like a Norman camp meant to cajole in Anglos and other imperial subjects, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that London was founded OG as an ancient Roman military settlement and still retains those traits, down to having its own police force.
>>2918147You're optimistic if you imagine the government would offer such incentives for recruits.
>>2918132My ad hoc theory is that it's because they're the only party not motivated by spite and resentment at an emotional level, being sort of nice genteel middle class types playing at politics, so transphobia has nothing to offer them emotionally (where as Tories/Reform are nothing but nastiness and Labour is run by people who can only orgasm if it upsets a left winger), but this is only a partial explanation since plenty of similar types catch the ambient malice going around. At an overly rational level perhaps they're trying to triangulate tactical Green votes without losing Cameron/May type "I don't care if you're gay just give me money" selfish Tories alienated by the new Tory policy of burning down all civilisation just to annoy the libs.
>>2918181The money part makes sense since the LibDems are completely reliant on members’ donations for the party finances.
On the other hand: Does anyone have any coherent explanation as to why John Cleese, Richard Dawkins, Carl Benjamin, Graham Linehan, and other older shitlibs just chud out completely?
Particular mention goes to Cleese who used to support Amnesty International before Islamophobic brainrot got to the best of him to the point of becoming a Restore Britain founder. Same with Dawkins going from “I support gay rights and mild pedophilia isn’t as bad as bad pedophilia” to just go full TERF.
Either it’s a personality disorder, old age making them more chauvinistic (especially given their class status) or just that the exclusivist worldview of British liberals is being under siege as China and other powers are undermining the liberal idealism that forms much of the British intelligentsia’s ideology. And let’s be honest here: The entirety of British philosophical tradition in modern times is just a bunch of bourgeois cunts endlessly reconstructing 19th century liberalism to cope with the fact that their beloved British empire has ended.
And this can make sense when taken into account that both Dawkins and Cleese among other old shitlibs were born in elite circles back when Britain was still a massive empire.
So their chudding out and their distaste for Islam going from mindful critique to full-blown civilisational sneering can be seen as part of the larger reactionary balding over the fact that the UK is turning into an irrelevant backwater of northwest Europe regardless of immigration, racial homogeneity, religion, and ofc trans rights.

>government announces an anti-disinformation unit but promises it won't be used against domestic dissent and sadly probably means it, or at least won't use it against the right
>Farage says they're going to use it against him anyway
is it really so much to ask for Labour to be the party Farage is going to accuse them of being anyway.
(yes, tragically)
>>2919043maybe, but if reform were proscribed we could go back to the lab-con duopoly moderated by liberals which has served everyone
who matters to labour MPs anyway so well for so long. the next biggest threat would be what, plaid? (on paper maybe the SNP, but their internal problems are huge.)
i'm not sure Labour's so cynical. maybe the right combo of stupid and cynical, but if they were cynical then Labour governments would have lots of right-to-buy type policies: e.g. policies that use state money and assets to create hoardes of Labour voters, just as Thatcher created new Tories. Yet even where Labour have blundered into this (mass access to higher education, for example) they both hate it, and try to alienate those voters, and propose to scrap the policy. it's like they hate winning.
>>2919041Has Labour always been so, how to put it, compliant and effete? Or is it a modern developement?
Pretty much any left of center party, even cucked ones the PS in France post-Mitterand have some sort of will to rule and crush the ennemy when they have power, you know what i mean? Labour seem to only have vitality when it's time to repress their base on the behalf of foreign/parasitic entities (Israelis, terfs etc). How is a center-right middle class eurocrat party like LibDem more masculine in their approach than them is a mistery.
British Greens are also included in that cuck-left entity by the way.
Green party membership are going to hold a vote at conference on whether zionism should be classified as a type of racism
If it passes then members can be disciplined or expelled for racism if they say or do anything pro-zionist
Polanski tried to cancel conference as a result claiming they should "focus on the upcoming by-election" in Starmer's constituency
But he was overuled by membership so it should still go ahead afaik?
Will be interesting to see how that vote and the debate pans out
>>2919170They tried to vote on this previously and the Zionists filibustered the conference to ensure they couldn't, so let's see if it goes differently this time
>>2918576DT is almost certainly a glowie he was released early from prison then suddenly sets up a group which data harvests the street right. Thing is I think the UK gov is Protopopov'ing itself.

Crazy shit…
I'm seriously considering leaving this country. There are blackshirts marching around, setting everything on fire, beating up minorities, committing crime 24/7 and its just…crickets. The media and police appear to support them and the government are actually fucking terrified of them. And "the people" don't seem especially worried as long as Netflix still works… At least Americans fought and died protesting ICE, and they were state backed militia, we can't even do that against a bunch of drunk hooligans.
I think this country is actually done for. I haven't seen anything about this country during this period that shows its up to challenging the assault of the far-right. The NHS is now held hostage by palantir, "immigrant" is now codeword for "second class citizen". Its just a long spiral downwards toward oblivion. At least Americans have seen the light on Trump.
Wild things are happening in Scotland. Today's proposal: merge all councils into 6 strategic authorities that handle all the relevant stuff currently done by 32 councils (education, bins, etc) with 150 odd parish council tier local bodies beneath them (that piss about putting plaques on buildings etc)
Particularly funny given that the geographically massive Highland council area being the lowest level of local government is already the go to example of just how centralised the UK is.
The underlying reason is that Sturgeon fucked up negotiations for how Scottish funding would work after the devolution of income tax and now Scotland is punished for every year it grows slower than London, which has been basically every year in Scottish history. This was known but she didn't want to appear as though she was looking a gift horse in the mouth, she just wanted her photo op, as always. This means Scotland will require big unavoidable spending cuts going forward.>>2919301If you can, you should
Kemi Badenoch has said if the Tories win power (LOL) they would ban those who claim benefits from purchasing alcohol, cigarettes, or gambling.
Would mean if you're unemployed or disabled the state would be constantly monitoring your bank accounts and and purchases, and if you buy yourself a beer then you'd get your bennies sanctioned, the more you buy booze and cigs the more sanctioned you'd be until ultimately you'd be denied any benefits at all.
So much for personal liberty and economic freedom…

>>2919623Where is the lack of profit?

Being a NEET is praxis. Never Work. Do nothing.
Stay up all night drinking, smoking, watching anime, and playing video games.
Both the Situationists and Italian Autonomists attested to this as a valid method for resisting the bourgeois state and its institutions, which is desperate for you to toil 9 to 5 and accept capitalist society as normal so as to keep their systems running.
>>2921189Praxis for what?
>>2921286The heat death of the universe
>>2920800>>2921189I'm not pro-NEET, but it's funny to me how moralistic people get about it. People act like we're all really in it together working on some grand collective effort instead of atomized individuals in a "rat race" trying to "get ahead" and get one over on each other. The ultimate dream of life under capitalism is to not have to work anymore. How many people really have a job where they can say they are proud of what they're doing and making the world a better place? Most corporations and enterprises are probably actively making the world worse in fact.
>>2921310There are two adjacent sicknesses at play
- the LARPy left-wing one, which confuses the valorisation of workers with the valorisation of work.
- the more standard stodgy one, where one's job is imagined to form a key component of one's identity. which NEEThood must fracture.
i was thinking about this recently at work, reading some labour gobshite (starmer's speechwriter maybe?) on my phone at lunch. he was posting his labourist fantasies (he is a self-defined "labourist") and it struck me. there's this basic assumption that what we need is to get people as invested in being cleaners or social carers or shelf-stackers as they used to be in being miners or whatever, and it's just silly. there's nothing wrong with the direction we're drifting in (where you, say, do the tills at tesco but this is just something you have to do, like sleeping, and your identity is actually formed around your friends, hobbies, pretentious posts on /leftypol/, etc, the stuff you actually like doing.) and this no-no-no it's actually really important that you've got this job that you don't like approach is unlikely to satisfy anyone. we're just in an awkward transition period where we, perversely, become more individually liberated through
greater alienation from our labour.
i am basically optimistic if we can survive the next 40 years or so. if the old world doesn't kill us all out of spite, the new world will be basically fine. most changes are just changes, neither better nor worse.
>>2921341I actually kinda value "worth-ethic." Or respect it I should say. I think in a communist society, whatever work that needs to be done needs to be done, and people who do it should feel happy and happy to do it. I think the current insanity is because we obviously don't value work or workers. Eating shit with a smile is the humiliation. I'm a cynical lazy kind of person often myself, but I was working with this older dude, like 50s something, doing some decently hard physical labor, in the elements, and this guy wasn't really like my boss so to say, not getting paid much more than me and we're basically just partners, but he was like the lead, or the guy personally calling the shots because he knew everything that needed to be done. He was like a slave-driver. We were setting up these tests everywhere in the world, and sometimes, we needed to let the test just run for a few minutes, and I would just be standing around, taking a rest, and he'd get on my ass, like "what the fuck are you doing? you're on the clock, go clean up the car, go find something useful to do." But this old as guy, we would really take half of the main work each, plus he did a little more clicking the buttons on the machine and writing the numbers down, dealing with the boss, etc. and he would constantly fucking lap me on the two halves of the same physical work we were doing equally. It's just fucking shameful getting lapped by this old guy. And like I said, I'm cynical and lazy, it's fucking crazy right, the faster we work, the less money we make. This dude like I said was the one who dealt with the boss mostly, so he was the one getting shit and the disrespect, yet still he fucking worked like a motherfucker.
And anyway, off the long rambling, I think I came to an epiphany about work ethic, it's like your job is where most "proletarians" spend most of there waking hours at. It's kind of mentally fucked to spend most of your waking hours doing something your bad at lmao. There is pride at being good at what you do. The problem in our society is we don't value work or workers.
Check out this clip from this banned Australian documentary about the Soviet Union. I don't know if I trust this information, I've never heard it anywhere else, but it's crazy.
<13:00 in the vid>dock work is hard work so it has a high status in the soviet union high status usually means higher pay and nikolai earns up to 600 a month more than the captain of a ship or an executive in a factoryImagine if that was the case in our societies. Dock workers get paid more than executives. I guess very patriarchal. I mean, it's kinda like that already on the shit tier, most blue collar workers get paid more than most service industry workers, but more than an exec is crazy.
>>2921355I found this part of Lenin's speech interesting.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1921/oct/17.htmShall We Be Able To Work For Our Own Benefit?
>We had deserters from the army, and also from the labour front. We must say that in the past you worked for the benefit of the capitalists, of the exploiters, and of course you did not do your best. But now you are working for yourselves, for the workers’ and peasants’ state. Remember that the question at issue is whether we shall be able to work for ourselves, for if we cannot, I repeat, our Republic will perish. And we say, as we said in the army. that either those who want to cause our destruction must perish, or we must adopt the sternest disciplinary measures and thereby save our country—and our Republic will live.
>That is what our line must be, that is why (among other things) we need the New Economic Policy.
>Get down to business, all of you! You will have capitalists beside you, including foreign capitalists, concessionaires and leaseholders. They will squeeze profits out of you amounting to hundreds per cent; they will enrich themselves, operating alongside of you. Let them. Meanwhile you will learn from them the business of running the economy, and only when you do that will you be able to build up a communist republic. Since we must necessarily learn quickly, any slackness in this respect is a serious crime. And we must undergo this training, this severe, stern and sometimes even cruel training, because we have no other way out. >>2920955I can't tell what they meant by this at that party conference
>>2921367I mean, we know what time it is, these faggots spend millions a year on their security team that are allowed to carry automatic weapons and what not. The infamous Luigi incident showed how unprotected the ones even relatively high up the chain are.
My position is we are all legally in a position to execute these people. These people can all be executed legally. Even in countries that have outlawed execution.
I mean, I am a compassionate person. Recant to save your life.
What's all this about some RAF bases almost getting bombed?
>>2921376
Well I don't want to become involved in your whatever, but I think yes, people are afraid to express their hatred. I live in a country where people are executed. It's all a system of hoopla and subjective opinion. But people should be executed. It shouldn't be hard in a supposedly democratic society that executes people to execute most or all of these rich people.
>>2921378
Yeah sure bro but pitbulls will still be banned under communism. No one wants those homing mutt missiles biting off kids' arms.
>>2921367i've got to admit his yacht is actually in good taste. Did he commisioned it or was the previous owner the one with good taste?
>>2921397Under communism all dissidents will be forced to house a scary shitbull into their house actually.
They blocked the "parade" at Drumcree lmao what the fuck did they expect to happen.
>>2921433Bitch if you think any woman would be greatly displeased to have their husband forever immortalize them onto a yacht you're smoking crack.
>>2920779Actually bretty good. Better vibes than CPUSA that's for sure.
>>2921477rs21. For all of its faults its democratic and has a pluralist culture.
>>2921479That really hasn't been my experience, I've been in it for a few months now and I've found it to be stultifying, it's extremely badly organised but also hostile to any improvements, and everything has to be done through the prism of "good vibes" where it's extremely rude to not validate someone else's opinions. It also just seems politically confused and not sure what it is doing or why.
I don't know if I just have a personal problem or something, maybe I'm too autistic and I can never understand. Every group I try to be involved in, I always end up feeling alienated and cynical because it doesn't meet my expectations.
>>2921481Place your bets: Islamist or Nazi?
>>2921477The CPGB-ML is the only “left” organization in Britain worth taking seriously, assuming that by “left” you mean communist Marxist-Leninist. One of the very few self proclaimed communist orgs in the entire imperial core that’s actually Marxist Leninist and anti-revisionist and hasn’t surrendered itself to fascist idpol insanity
>>2921485So being a sexual minority is itself fascist? Their behavior indicates that’s their position
>>2921483Why would Nazis attack a US airbase in this country?
>>2921487They are putting rapefugees innit innit
>>2921485>CPGB-MLIf you want to work for the Russian Embassy just apply for a job there don't join the Brar Cult and get put on a list withouth direct monetary gain.
>>2921482I am sorry to hear that, I think it must vary based on which region you are in. I will agree it is badly organised but that is largely down to expanding rapidly without much direction (a lot of disaffected Marxists joined post-YORP). It does have a "nice" culture but that is also the only one that actually allows people to disagree on stances without getting purged.
>>2921491Even the Gallowayites kicked the CPGB-ML out for being weird cretins.
>>2921485When are you going to get sober and realize Marxism Leninism applies only to the semi feudal semi colonial nations? It has a zero percent success record anywhere that has more workers than peasants.
>>2921493I haven't been purged (yet) but I can tell that nobody likes me and nobody is really interested in my ideas.
I mean honestly the 'local' branch has been okay but they're not in the same city as me, so I don't really feel that connected to them, I try to use the national communication avenues but they're so hostile to actual substantive discussion.
I dunno I'm just in a bad mood I guess partially, I wanted to get involved in an org so I can actually contribute to socialism rather than be just a armchair commentator online, but I feel like all the orgs are messed up in some way. I also feel like I'll never be able to blend in with normal people anyway due to my autism/personality/etc. I try to be nice and friendly and whatever but I still end up on the outside.
>>2921485I just want an org where we are anti racist, not transphobic, etc, but also aren't weird SJWs about everything, why is that so hard to find? Do these radlibs actually like being in an environment where it feels like a work MS Teams where you can't actually say anything you think or you'll get fired or ostracised?
>>2921502>I haven't been purged (yet) but I can tell that nobody likes me and nobody is really interested in my ideas. You won't get purged from rs21 except for rape (which yk is why the organisation exists in the first place).
Trying to engage with rs21 nationally is mostly pointless because you said he doesn't really have a national basis in which it operates.
Which city are you in if that isn't a Dox? There may be some local groups I know of that are worth getting into.
>>2921490hey man that's russophobia
>>2921559Нууууууу я люблю русских(((
>>2921481sad they got caught, kill anglos
>>2921481In the past Welsh patriots attacked airforce bases. But this no longer happens…
>>2921448just wait until you see the bores they're subordinated to.
>>2921477none really is the answer. gun to my head i'd probably say RS21 or the prometheus lot but there's very little basis for that. RS21's stickers on lampposts don't annoy me and prometheus seemed alright for gossip on your party.
i will go to bat for the idpol ones over the conservative ones any day of the week, but we'd lose less than nothing if they were all shut down.
if you'd let me include them, i'd back the Greens, SNP, Plaid, or (and here you're going to need another gun to my head) Labour. these organisations are not great, they are not really advancing anything either, but they do
sort of have a point. they do get politicians elected and argue for policies in ways people will actually hear and all that sort of thing, which means when you go to have some low-level meeting followed by pints it can feel like something more than circlejerking.
but this is a POSWID analysis, rather than a moral endorsement of electoralism or whatever. the purpose of the major parties is what they do - play politics - and the purpose of the microparty cults is what they do - twitter drama and boomer posting.
>>2921482in general, irl, it's nice to validate other people's opinions even with a vagueposting "yeah".
but fundamentally i don't think you're going to find validation in any of our left-wing orgs. they're all pointless.
>>2921485they're a cult which achieves nothing and contorts themselves in weird ways to back George Galloway
but i will give them this: their conservatism is at least funny. give me "the reactionary nightmare of gender fluiditiy", 10,000 words of incoherent rambling with revealing lines how women and ethnic minorities aren't interested in the party, over the CPB's "under the sewell convention and the scotland act 1998, and in line with the ruling of the supreme court, it is sound british law that: fuck transhumanists. we call on all sides to observe THE LAW, and deplore the Scottish government for having erred IN LAW."
>>2921502i don't mean this in a bad way, but you should find other hobbies. you shouldn't feel guilty in any way about just having a laugh with it. the progress of socialism is a gigantic societal-scale force and it's entirely acceptable for your contribution to it to be "has the word socialism in his bio while posting deltarune fan theories" or whatever else tickles your fancy.
(others will disagree, but their contribution to socialism is arguing on leftypol, so…)
>>2921503if you want a cynical answer: it's because it serves as a mechanism to exclude a different kind of bad person.
i don't like controlling what i say, but i like an environment where people have to control what they say because it excludes those who are incapable of controlling it. e.g. not being able to say our home secretary was obviously appointed because of her race is a small price to pay to not have to put up with other people ranting and raving about transhumanists or arguing we should throw immigrants under the bus. it means we can move the discussion on to something else.
(though i will admit this usually devolves into a kind of self-important posing that i have no time for, that's fine, i just don't join the group and ignore it. but virtue signalling is much better than vice signalling!)
>>2921485CPGB-ML are a Third Worldist NazBolite cult, run and controlled entirely by the Brar family, and are worse then the ACP.
If anything their ideology and conduct is explicitly anti-communist.
They're not only transphobic, but also openly very homophobic.
You see, to them if you aren't on the very extreme end of holding to social reactionary beliefs you're doing "idpol". They don't however consider their own Hitlerian social views to be idpol.
This goes to the point that an ex-member quit the party and then revealed online he had done so because he'd been forcibly locked in a room against his will and interrogated for a full day simply for posting a tweet saying he thought it was acceptable to be gay.
They also control members diets, dress code, and hair styles. This specifically is why I call it a cult.
Unironically, all the bullshit lies Western media invents about North Korean state control over individuals personal habits, the CPGB-ML literally does to it's own membership.
They state in their own leaked internal documents that they believe that you need to dress like, act like, and have the haircut of a cokehead football hooligan to appeal to the masses, which is how they justify their cultish control of member's behaviour and appearances.
I think that also show the extent to which they're tied up in their own cult bubble and detached from the average Brit's perspectives on things.
>>2921574> the prometheus lotThe prometheus lot ARE rs21. Source: me I know them personally and have written for prometheus.
>>2921583Black guy in a doorag is 100% a UK born and bread no migrant is wearing that at what must be his 20s??
"They" are talking about it being Iran which would make sense; they often hire petty criminals to do property damage without telling them what it is for. Russia does this too.
>>2921580didn't one of the YORP gossip accounts (sorry, whoever you are, i'm sure you've moved on to better things but xcancel is down so i'll never know) have a recurring bit of playfully denying being RS21
fairford is a legitimate target as its being used to bomb Iran also what bullshit authoritarian bollocks can we expect to be implemented in the name of national security?
>>2921587how about mandatory ID cards, they've been wanting that for years
Where did Labour go wrong compared to other Anglo bourgeois socdem parties? Both Australian and NZ labour have made the transition to being the socially liberal progressive party of educated service and public sector workers reasonably elegantly while British labour clearly loathes its own voters (despite, under Blair, having had perhaps the most explicit aim of courting similar people) and hates even its own history of relative social liberalism.
It's odd because if you were laying bets in the 1980s and 1990s, UK labour would look to be on the same track: status quo econ + left victory on culture war issues. Yet even Blair rejected and loathed this in theory, despite bringing some liberal measures forward under the auspices of modernisation.
Is it that we think too much, or too little? Is it that we are a fundamentally sick society and they are not? Is it something in the water? I really want to know.
(The Democrats are a similar case, with the oddity that Labour was probably still better than them under Blair/Clinton but is now clearly worse… but aus/NZ Labour are more directly comparable.)
>>2921653Honestly I feel like either Zionist/fed influence has to be involved in a major way, like they sabotaged Labour on purpose, there's no explanation otherwise that makes sense to me
>>2921653the rulers of the US and Israeli are way more obsessed with Britain than with Australia, Canada, NZ etc. Their attention is poison.
>>2921653I agree with this
>>2921659 but to add the current Labour Right was crafted in the cold war to be puppets of US interests against not just communists/marxists/pinkos in Labour but also a sovereigntist soft left (Wilson, Kinnock) that the US saw as a threat. This lead to the atlanticist labourite that now dominates the party, who due to malign american influence are becoming more and more reactionary as the years go on. Aus Labor (IDK about NZ Labour) were already pro-America and anti-communist so weren't forced to undergo the same process.
>>2921700

not even 24 hours have been passed and they've all been bailed? seems rather odd doesn't it. To put it into perspective the six the raided the Elbit factory in Bristol spent 18 months in custody awaiting trail.
>>2922274probably because the manufactured lies by the press are complete fabrication and the lads where just stealing petrol from a local farm
>>2922285Apparently this all started with a resident phoning in, so i'm kind of expecting this to be the outcome.
It's been bugging me out how the van is fucking empty.
>>2922299Also further speculation - the lads likely where on intelligence radar for this attempted theft because they are retards and likely referenced 'meet me near X airport/military base' in communications. I bet intelligence services have keywords that flag your social media comms on whatsapp to them. Acting on the intell is another matter though as nothing happened (supposedly) till someone reported them, as it likely has a hierarchy of threat level and this one was low.

Dude why is this thread completely dead unless it's for talking about rgen X footy hooligans harassing BAME folx in public parks.
Burhnam just announced he will make gammons and geriatric radfems homeless and pensionless which is actually great and progressive and not even a post about it while leftslopper like Corbyn and Polanski are calling out Burnham for wanting to kill our ennemies.
>>2923336Our enemies are a bunch of feds running around doing false flags? Well actually that's correct but that's not who the press are saying are "our enemies".
If you're talking about the triple lock, didn't he basically clarify that it was a nothingburger and they just want to change how to works at some point? Not saying they'll get rid of it
>>2923336Talk is cheap. It'll give him some credit for at least talking, which might save his dogshit party from electoral suicide, but I have less than zero expectation of follow through and even if he did I'd still resent him until he touches the live wire that is "ending the persecution of transgender people by the EHRC."
(You cannot credibly market yourself as a progressive party while being complicit in this and weak sauce deference to unelected institutions can't handwave the problem as it does for the SNP. A PM must act, or at least speak, morality and constitutionality be damned, compelling reasons as they are, on marketing grounds alone Labour goes woke or goes broke)
>>2923392Oh to follow up: what's actually happening here in my supposition is that voters are being steered back towards Labour/Con to minimise the potential of an actual rupture with the status quo for those who run things.
This could be quite elaborate, e.g. nationalisation is not actually incompatible with protecting the income and status of the individuals behind the firms affected, so we may see superficially radical measures which are actually pretty dud.
But more likely is that nothing at all happens. Most of his interesting proposals are for a 2029 manifesto, not something he'll legislate now when he has a huge majority, and governments rarely get more radical over time.
>>2923392I agree with you what Starmer-era Labour did regarding transgender appartheid was despicable and if Burnham doesnt correct course he's gonna cuck on everything else. But now, as far as the gammon welfare thing go, just toying with idea is a progression from the past. Also much of the anti-trans hysteria in this country is a byproduct of those privileged saturn elderly and their veto, Labour included. When you see videos of young labour members on tiktok half of them are wearing trans rights pin.
>>2923436the real root cause of anti-trans hysteria is that for some reason the US ships every single plank of their culture war here first for testing. We cannot restore Britain to the normal atmosphere of broad West European wokeness of previous decades until we have banned all US media, especially social media. The Chinese are way ahead of us on this.
Okay I will give him credit, teasing rejoining the EU is actually really funny levels of chatting shit and is well calibrated for appealing to British "liberals".
If this works it will validate my underlying feeling that electoral politics is now basically marketing an identity product.
>>2923336I did ask:
>>2922989But yea, said all the right things, interesting they've dropped 'working people' for the working class, but yea i'll wait and see for the follow through over the words.
>>2923436>>2923336>leftslopper like Corbyn and Polanski are calling out Burnham for wanting to kill our ennemies.which 'enemies' are those exactly? Hamas and Hezbollah? They don't give a shit about us and have never harmed a single British citizen (except for some of those sickos that went and voluntarily joined the IDF). Israel on the other hand kill Britons all the time, like those 3 ex-military guys who worked as aid workers to feed Palestinians and who Israel triple-tapped to make absolutely sure none of them could live to tell about it. Their names were John Chapman, James 'Jim' Henderson, and James Kirby.
They also used to lynch 19 and 20 year old British conscripts (who thought they'd be fighting the Nazis and were sent to occupy Palestine instead) and hide IEDs in their pockets rigged to kill the poor bastards sent to cut their hanging bodies down. They blew up the British-owned (and mostly British-occupied) King David Hotel in Jerusalem, and even after Attlee caved and gave them everything they wanted they kept on blowing up British homes and businesses across the Middle East in admitted false flag attacks because it was a convenient way to frighten the Jewish populations of those countries into making Aliyah and bolstering the colony's demographics. Convenient specifically because they knew Britain was too cucked - to them and to the US - to do anything about it.
Burnham isn't fighting our enemies, he's: giving them billions of pounds of our money; caving to their favoured media narrative on Islam and refugees instead of just fucking saying that either all immigration is a problem or none of it is; and brutalising & locking up (judicially and extrajudicially) anyone who dares to voice even the vaguest, most libshit criticisms of those genocidal maniacs. Corbyn would have prevented ALL of this. We'd be there with Ireland as the only two Western countries not licking Israel's reeking gooch all the time, instead of sinking ever further into the inescapable abyss of permanent US-Israeli vassalage and total civilisational Burgerisation. Which is why he had to be destroyed at all costs.
>>2923607means testing ALWAYS costs more than just letting the few applicants who don't absolutely need it just have it. It's purely a way to punish people for being poor, (by making them jump through an endlessly growing number of hoops in between their 4 zero-hours contract jobs and 'side-gigs' doing 'contracting' for a US-based multinational) for the delectation of rich suburban sickos to prove they're 'the deserving poor'. It also adds massive expense to the benefit which makes it harder to pass the commons and easier to scrap it down the line, which is why they love it so much.
>>2923731>means testing ALWAYS costs more than just letting the few applicants who don't absolutely need it just have it.Surely it depends on how many applicants you're wanting this to affect?
What would your suggestion be regarding the triple lock? I just don't see how it won't eventually balloon into being unaffordable - especially when rising more than wages
>>2923731In fairness this is unlikely to be the case with the state pension. The reason means testing costs so much with something like PIP, prescriptions, or unemployment benefit is that they apply to a tiny fraction of the population which is mostly poor, while the state pension is the single largest part of the social protection budget, which is itself the single largest part of the national budget. You could nuke about 25% of that by not giving it to people with more than the national average income. Even if you go crazy and assume it would cost billions to administer, there'd still be huge savings.
I'm not in favour of means testing in general, but the combination of the reactionary voting tendencies of pensioners and the massive sum of bribe money it unlocks makes it a no brainer for a cynical centre-left government. You take a PR hit, sure, but you've got more than enough money to throw at new shiny things to offset that. Free bus travel across all of England is just £700mn of the £38bn you'd get from the means test articulated above. Even assuming you lose 5% to admin, an insane figure, you'd still have enough to balance the budget and still have the same amount again - £18bn - to play with. You can also stretch that really far with cheap gimmick schemes like Scotland's baby boxes…>>2923874The ironic thing is that the triple lock is actually less expensive than the previous system, since even though it locks in a minimum 2% increase, it also sneakily changed the inflation index from RPI to CPI. CPI is generally lower, so we've not overshot where we'd be with RPI yet.
You could, in theory, achieve some of the same ends by increasing taxes on wealthy pensioners, or by doing something truly insane like scrapping the state pension entirely and replacing it with some kind of universal minimum income (more like negative income tax than UBI, you wouldn't pay it to anyone above that income but wouldn't administer means testing either) though whether that'd lead to cost savings would depend on a lot of factors.
The most basic and least controversial step should be to scrap national insurance and fold it into income tax. at the moment you don't pay NI above retirement age (or as a landlord) but it functions exactly like a second tier of income tax. (there's no special reserved fund where your NI contributions go, they just feed into general spending.)
>>2924062Corbyn was too weak to protect himself, he wouldn't have accomplished anything, we need to stop worshipping a false idol
>>2924062He cucked out over insane jews calling him names because he worship jewish feelings and openned the flood gates for zio+terf subvertion of the party as results. I don't "hate" him but his weakness as a politician and as a man was a disgrace mate.
If you cant stand people being mean to you you have no place in politics.
>>2924125>>2924129Yeah he fucking sucks, he's like The British Bernie, but he got a little farther I guess. I dunno, what else do we have? The Zara Sultana "Your Party" fiasco?
Surprised by no discussion of the labour move to PR. Would mean the labor party breaks up and a left wing faction emerging.
Would be big moment for any organised socialist movement.
>>2924144"We will pass electoral reform after an election we win" = "you are being fooled"
>>2924144If they were actually going to do anything then it wouldn't be "after the next election TM"
Is this your first time in politics or something. Labour have a supermajority right now, they could probably abolish the monarchy if they wanted
>>2924134Zarah is clearly an opportunist but she was a lot more right about YP than Corbyn was.
We don't really have anything, we need to try to return to first principles. Our politics needs to be based on mass organisation not charismatic individuals who will only let us down in the end.
>>2924144Nobody ever wants to change the system that they got elected through
>>2924161Corbyn kind of was though, in that Corbyn's election was a product of the anti-austerity movement.
Honestly, the fact that Corbyn couldn't see that Starmer was deliberately undermining him, sabotaging the party and positioning to stab him the back, shows that he just wasn't ruthless enough to be cut out for the top job.
Honestly not sure how he would have handled covid or the Russia-Ukraine War.
Personally I always thought McDonnell > Corbyn, and its a shame we never got to see him as Chancellor.
As for YP it was always going to fail: Zarah is an annoying narcissist and just not that good; and Corbyn has become more and more bloody-minded. Starting a political party in Britain is hard, you need serious money behind it. Right wing parties can do it because they are parties run by capitalists to work for them and as the media is controlled by capital it naturally supports them, and gives them plenty of coverage. Whereas their response to YP was to point and laugh as repeat the old lies and not actually allow them to be heard, but their distorted version.
The Greens have only in this decade really broken through despite being over 50 years old. Scargills 'Socialist Labour Party' are an example of a lefty wing party that never really got off the ground. Unless they got serious trade union backing and a media platform that was at least willing to let them be heard it was never going anywhere.
>>2924198Is Zarah a narcissist? Idk maybe, but Corbyn and his cronies are the ones that wrecked YP not her. If you were actually involved with it you would know that.
>>2924198Corbyn's never been that serious outside of being a good local candidate, I get the feeling he kinda fell upwards.
Reminds me of Dianne Abbot, just appealing to vague progressiveness without actually having any substance to back it up and being content with just being a liberal centrist backbencher and cashing cheques while making vague feel good appeals to the left.
>>2919031If you needed further proof that is is the Conservatives that are the party of mass immigration. You would think these RWNJ sheep might have woken up after Johnson and his "Boris Wave" but they are still too dumb to see how the Neo-Liberal establishment uses immigration to undercut wages and conditions all whilst telling you about how the ones they imported are going to destroy Britain and that its the "lefts" fault.
Capitalists like the former 'dishonourable member for 18th century morons' only serve themselves; and they really love immigrants as it helps further their political and business interests.
Can any scotanons explain who the Scottish Socialist Youth are? They don't appear to be the youth wing of the SSP but they are going to Manifesta and shit so.
>>2924198The problem isn't really that Corbyn is weak or stupid, even if he was the more assertive version of himself, someone like Melanchon, the problem is actually the political strategy which is just to ride a 'left populist' movement to win an election and form a 'left labour government' as if that won't inevitably be a massive fucking failure sabotaged and and choked from all sides, or simply forced to play ball with the financial markets, either way utterly discrediting the left as a result.
Unless your theory of change is based on hoping that the moment Corbyn or someone like him wins the election there's a military coup against them and this creates a revolutionary situation in which the masses rapidly radicalise and bring to power some vanguardist sect that's been waiting for this day then left populism and return to social democracy/old labour is utterly hopeless and a mirage actively deceiving the working class.
Until we're ready to let go of left populism and all other iterations of the 'british road to socialism' and return to marxist party building we're doomed to keep repeating the same mistakes and running on this hamster wheel.
>>2924144They basically have no plan to actually do it. Blair did the same thing in the 1997 manifesto, he even got Roy Jenkins to write up a big fancy report about how Britain should adopt a special snowflake electoral system that would boost the Lib Dems while still leaving Labour with a huge majority, but despite getting exactly the answer he wanted he then went lol lmao no let's keep FPTP.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_Commission_(UK)This was one of the many areas where Blair fucked up even by the standards of a sort of idealised modernising
Blairism. (You don't truly hate a politician until you've arrived at the conclusion that they're a traitor to
themselves, and both Blair and Thatcher certainly qualify…)
>>2924161What's Zarah up to nowadays anyway? I don't keep up with Twitter since they killed xcancel.
If she'd gone Green they could've become the true poster's party.
Obviously it won't be a popular opinion here as such but it's unreal just how much Blair fumbled the ball on creating a more liberal, European, modern Britain by pandering to reactionaries. Like it's easy to go "oh, why didn't he simply legislate to bring back the status quo ante circa 1979", why didn't he simply use his big majority to legislate a classless stateless moneyless society and due true communism, but that's all easy mode shit. It's easy to go: bourgeois politician ran the country for the bourgeoisie and me no likey. It's quite another to realise: hang on, you could've run this country in a way that was better for the bourgeoisie and better than everyone. You fucked up even on your own terms!
BBC calling french Democratic Socialists "far left" but won't call Reform / Restore far right.
If the DemSocs are far left then one must wonder what they'd call the communists.
>>2924357They’d call them “communists” because communism isn’t leftism and never was
>>2924358What fringe sect do you belong to where you refuse to accept communists are leftists? Why can't you see how retarded it makes you sound?
>>2924357Just typical BBC things. As Andrew Marr said over a decade ago the BBC has a liberal bias, socially liberal and economically liberal. It’s why they were so blatantly anti-Corbyn and the moderate policies he ran on. Also worth remembering the fact that the head of the auntie is a Tory peer.
Even funnier when you consider the French PS is much like the Labour Party and actual socialists are very much sidelined.

>>2924370the BBC hasn't had a claim to being socially liberal for a long time. in 2021 (2 years before the government tried to play up trans stuff as a culture war thing by vetoing the Scottish GRR) the BBC wrote an article about how transhumanists pressure lesbians into sex with their sources for this being an e-mail poll of 80 people by an astroTERF charity and a porn actress with sexual misconduct allegations of her own.
and then another BBC journalist went along and compared it, positively, to the BBC's coverage of jimmy saville.
any remotely legitimate government of this country would do to the BBC what the Hungarians did to their state broadcaster: make them run a shame-faced apology for being lying propagandists who've abrogated their responsibilities as journalists, then take them off the air.
any left-wing or even liberal government should think seriously about how to dismantle rather than to save the BBC. at the very least by removing news and public affairs coverage from their remit (either without replacement, or with a new agency which handles these matters) and, frankly, considering everything up to shutting them down entirely and replacing them with a variety of other stuff for open-ended public media funding. (The BBC budget is 4.5bn, the department for culture, media and sport budget is 1.6bn. Why not shut the BBC down and give out ~3bn more in grants to people to make stuff? A documentary on the BBC is not inherently more valuable than one on YouTube just by virtue of having been rubber stamped by dickheads. (See also: "Panorama: Is Labour Anti-Semitic", and, for any establishment figures reading this, their famous "we didn't actually make it, we just contracted someone else to do it" excuse for that misleading Trump edit. Well, if
you aren't making the programs then
what is the point of you?)
yes, i do wish i could simply hate an institution to death for declaring laudable goals and then not just failing, but actively working against them at every turn. why do you ask? >>2924386>any remotely legitimate government of this country would do to the BBC what the Hungarians did to their state broadcaster: make them run a shame-faced apology for being lying propagandists who've abrogated their responsibilities as journalists, then take them off the air.Truth nuke but the brits, especially left-leaning ones, worship their legacy institutions too much to think of doing that. This needs to change.
I remember we had "revolution now!!" anons there seriously telling us to stop attacking The Guardians UK for similar pro-trans-appartheid coverages (let's call it what it is) because it's le wholesome cool oldfag leftist media of ye old time mate or something.
At some point you either correct the subvertion and root out the ticks or you cut the funds and let the bloated beast fail, the latter of which wouldnt be hard to do to BBC/NHS/Guardian as they cannot sustain themselves financialy and their output have been dogshit for decades.
There is case for retarded austerity liberals where libdem or even fucking reform leading the country and doing an afuera to save gammons pensions could have a beneficial second order effect on that front.
>A documentary on the BBC is not inherently more valuable than one on YouTubeA propos of nothing but on arte.tv (french-german eurocrat channel) any time they air BBC documentaries they bought to fill airtime they're always the worst dogshit available compared to the stuff they produce in house.
>>2924386>>2924628>just destroy the BBC so all the Tory media can fill the gap GR8 B8.
BBC has its issues but all this crap is basically a way to fully surrender the most major news source in the country to the right, at least the BBC has a pretense of being balanced and is actually accountable to the public and elected officials. Better than what you get with the "free press" like the Wail or Torygraph.
But the bbc isn't pro-trans enough so it must go. Actually give your head a wobble if you aren't just being disingenuous.
>>2924643>tories are pro-benefits They always have been. Look at Michelle Moan or other companies that benefited from corrupt government contracts.
pro benefits for the wealthy
anti for the poor
>>2924649This, if your fantasy after getting put into power is slashing state funded media instead of making it your personal propaganda machine (or at least replace everyone you dislike to make it a better media), the fuck are you on about
>>2924653>>2924649If they are full of subversives (they are) you root out the subversives; if the termites layed egge everywhere, you have to let it fail.
As for the sarcasms about "not pro-trans enough" regarding NHS/'BC/Guardian they have been on an violent anti-trans campaign for years, the NHS now shutt down entire services in Wales because of a dozen insane hags on social medias feeling uncomfortable. The ticks are there and well established.
Trying to disregard the problem because "at least it's not the daily mail!" will only bite us in the back on the long term, it arguably already did, especially when the radfem subvertors are also insane zionists that cares about womens'n'jews feelings more than anything left of center. The culture wars we launched on their behalf in the 2010s from metoo, to manspreading to censoring everything "antisemite" because of Richard Spencer in Charlottesville have also been massivey disastrous for our organisations and our reputation.
>>2924649The BBC
IS Tory media you dunce. Their "balance" consists entirely of averaging out the views of our deeply reactionary press. Dominic Cummings openly bragged about how their them politics editor would repeat any old shite the Tories would tell her!
It's not just about being actively anti-trans (different from "not pro trans enough") it's that it is reactionary on almost every front. Have you totally forgotten the Corbyn years?
>>2924653You have to slash weeds to grow nice flowers. You cannot simply take over a reactionary institution and make it progressive, sometimes you have to abolish it entirely and rebuild from the ground up.
(Imagine for a moment we put the money wasted on the BBC into subsidising newspapers like - iirc - Norway. Not by giving grants to existing papers, but by underwriting anyone who wants to have a go on a new one. No real difference to the bottom line of the incumbents and no real risk of making things more right wing, but a boon for trots and other left wing eccentrics, and perhaps for general investigators of actual news, especially locally…)
Oh and another thing: you'll note that the BBC want to make their coverage worse to appeal to Reform voters, but you never heard anything about tilting left to appeal to Corbynites or Greens or tilting towards more Scottish content to appeal to SNP voters.
(Well, they moved the official production location of a few geographically mobile shows to Scotland once nationalists pointed out Scotland pays 10% of the licence fee for like 5% of the output, but that hardly counts.)

>>2925456Okay fine, it's not even centrist, unless you mean the centre between centre left and far right (aka just being right-wing).
>>2925421Whats the point in even posting this rubbish? I have a longer memory than a goldfish so I can remember the 14 years of Toryism we just had and they continually promised this type of shit all the time, they aren't even half as ruthless as they like to make out. "Cut the international aid budget", "cut the Civil Service", "cut benefits muh muh bunch of slackers", "hard on illegal immigration" same shit for the last 5 decades, and at most its ever just reducing the benefit for the lowest which is a measly sum relative to the welfare budget, let alone the National.
At worst they will cut 20k civil service jobs before realising they can't actually run the country whilst being at civil war with the service, or actually get things done without them. They won't cut Foreign Aid by even half that much because they will be convinced they need it for "prestige" purposes. And all the "slash net zero" and "destroy clean energy" whereby you plan to but thousands out work is quite at odds with how they are supposedly the "party of business" and the "party of workers" or "the only party to get Britain working"

Breaking: The Green party motion equating Zionism with Racism has just successfully passed.
That means anyone in the party who identifies as Zionist or belongs to any Zionist group can be expelled in the same way you would expel someone in the party who was openly a racist.
Hopefully that will result in the Eco Tory wing totally dying off now and people can push for the party to move further to the left…
Meanwhile at Tory Conference, Kemi has announced a new policy of "Free state funded childcare for millionaires and billionaires".
>>2925773Even if that was the actual majority's opinion; homosexuality, feminist opinions and people engaging in interracial sex were all considered a mentally ill or agents of social degradation, yet i am sure this guy support all of these fanatically therefore the anti-trans but pro-everything else opinion is based on bigoted sentiment and not a rational concern over social and cultural degeneration or even safety.
There is just something ridiculous in people stating it's morally sound for Wes Streeting and Sam Altman to marry and buy children together but Bruce Jenner getting surgery and putting on a dress is a step too far in paraphilia. Either the woke liberation theology or the chud normative reaction are correct but there is no middle ground in the LGBT question, and i have never seen a sensible argument for LGB drop the T that ever made sense.

Scrumonkey was originally a right-wing political youtube channel hosting the podcast "Starman and the Boomer" from November 2020–1, co-hosted by Scrump (John Sweeney) and Boomer (Trigger Happy). Afterwards it was then rebranded as "Starman and the Zoomer", with the trans woman Evelyn Grant as a permanent guest, and then a co-host. After this time, it lost its seriality and became episodic until this day, with the Boomer (Trigger Happy) dropping off and Evelyn taking his place. John and Evelyn by this time had established an event known as the Nomos conference from October 2021, which bore relation to other right-wing speaking venues, like Scyldings and the Wittan. Evelyn Grant was previously Duncan Grant, who transitioned around May 2021, with previous presentation as a male. John Sweeney is a confessed trans chaser, reportedly dating multiple trans women in his life, and having his real start on a trans talkshow called "Seal of Approval", hosted by the right-wing trans woman Rose of Dawn. He appeared on this show from June 2020 – July 2021, which is between the time that he met Duncan (around December 2020). Evelyn has reported being disabled with arthritis and is supported by benefits. She has also claimed to be depressed and wishes to stop being terminally online, preferring a fantasy of existing in a real life community. On Twitter, she is bullied by fellow right-wingers for being trans. Of course, this is the "community" she has chosen for herself. Scrumpmonkey is also connected to John Dee (a British homosexual right-winger). Each of these characters have extensive fraternity with Neema Parvini (Academic Agent), since they are all inspired by Austrian Economics, and exist in a post-libertartarian cluster. Neema has been reported to have flirted with Evelyn, despite being married (twice). Evelyn has also been on the autistic Edward Dutton's show, where she is described as a "based beautiful lady😍🥰".
From this fraternity of characters, we see the impurity of the online British right; a trans chaser and his sexual object, a homosexual, an Iranian-Welsh larper and a race scientist whose best friend is a Jamaican black man. We may also add Carl Benjamin; an ethnonationalist whose granddad was black. As far as I see things, this is the equivalent of the American online right; Fuentes is a Mexican, Gaines is an Arab, Sneako is a Black Muslim, etc. It seems to be social dysfunction, and blind antisemitism which creates this.

The response to the media should be that anti-Zionism is the same as anti Islamic terrorism. Mosques that support ISIS are banned, so synagogues that support Zionism should be banned.
>>2927809All these parasites just want to jump on the gravy train and know they can't ACTUALLY be anti Zionist lol.

>>2928318>>2928346>>2928369What exactly is your problem?
Why do hitlerites and schizophrenics obsessed with hating minorities feel the need to spam their demented reactionary ramblings here?
Trans people are scapegoated by the press constantly (9 anti trans articles per day on average in British newspapers according to Amnesty), they are banned from single sex spaces and sports, face several year long waits for basic medical care, are thrown under the bus by politicians, have to jump through hoops to get any legal recognition, are pretty much the one minority you can openly harass, mock, and use slurs against.
There's a reason trans people have far worse health, employment, suicide rates - because society is actively hostile towards trans people.
>Twanz genocide is when a man in a frock gets arrested for jacking off to little girls in the bathroom during a moment of “gender euphoria”Why do you spend your free time thinking about such vile imaginary things?
You want to know how many trans people in the UK have ever been arrested for committing crimes in single sex spaces?
Zero. The answer is zero.
There's never been a single documented case of a trans person ever being charged for that shit. Only cis men and to a lesser extent cis women.
Your obsessive hate and fantasies are directly at odds with reality.

>Literally just a couple days ago a male
>A male
Exactly a male. Not a trans person. A cis man committed a crime. Not a trans person.
Yet you're a trans obsessed fascistic schizophrenic mentaller so you find a way to do mental gymnastics to try to blame trans people for the crimes of a cis man.
In the UK trans people face a segregation from the general population and can't use facilities like changing rooms anymore because of liars like you claiming that trans people are the threat despite having zero evidence.
>TRA lobby
Yeah the all powerful trans lobby is behind all I'm sure LOL. There is no such thing. Meanwhile in reality the Hitlerite/TERF lobby in this country is bankrolled by far right republican and evangelical groups like the Heritage Foundation.
Literally everything you have posted has been some sick paedophilic fantasy you've invented in your own head, and then said "but what if a trans person did this!!!", or a crime committed by a cis person.
You are literally unable to provide evidence of trans people doing the horrific crimes you fantasize about because it doesn't happen.
Same logic used to be used under segregation too btw. Racist clowns would invent fictional perverted and disgusting scenarios of rape and murder in their heads, of brown people harming children, and then say "But what if this happened!" as if it were an arguement to ban brown people from white spaces.
Then the same thing happened again with gays and lesbians to try to ban them from bathrooms and so on.
And now today the exact same tired tactic is used against trans people.
Only this time, in Britain, it was successful in convincing courts and parliament from banning trans people from public facilities.
>>2928401In a previous thread a long time ago, I showed how trans people are massively underrepresented in criminal activity based in prison populations. The hysteria is scapegoating, as you say. All of the evil in the world is projected onto a human sacrifice.
>>2928408This is ahistorical.
Racial segregation didn't have this pretext.
>banning trans peopleThis is also an overstatement.
It is up to the discretion of a property owner to pursue exclusion.
Most trans people are still obviously using their preferred spaces.
The letter of the law isn't the spirit of the law.

>>2929397The waiting list for ADHD is caused by underfunding of the NHS. it's partly artificial, intentionally there to gatekeep medical care because this is cheaper. This is all a symptom of capitalist decline. And of course, they blame it on the people trying to get diagnoses in order to get the medication to live normal lives, when its the NHS who are failing to provide medical care.
>>2929397Abolish the British Broadcasting Corporation. You cannot simply redeploy right wing propagandists with a right wing propaganda apparatus by emailing them the new party line. They must be sent to the dole queue, the machine dismantled and replaced.
>>2929424It's not really that it's cheaper in and of itself, it's that it's the cheapest option that preserves the position of people inside the NHS. You could just hand out the cheaper, safer end of prescription drugs with simple and fast checks and assessments, but that would bring gatekeeping-based-cost-reduction into question in general and threaten the jobs of gatekeepers in particular.
It's important not to have the illusion that the NHS is basically decent. It is less evil than many other parts of the state but still basically amoral. Even those who mean well become instituonalised and imagine that the gatekeeping is actually good and helpful.
>>2929443Same thing is happening with weed, instead of legalizing it they insist you goto a paid private doctor and pay them money to have a '15 minute consolation' so they can rubber stamp you and you can get weed.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/oct/11/zack-polanski-green-party-british-politics-government-unity-democracyPolanski has bowed to the Zionists (quelle suprise) and confirmed they will try to get rid of internal democracy;
"our party has grown to a size none of us could have anticipated when I became leader. Our party democracy must now evolve to meet that – creating wider engagement for members, giving leaders more responsibility to set the party’s strategic direction, and making our processes as robust and accessible as possible."
>>2930555Reading this in pairing with the Guardian article reporting this as news (
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/oct/11/zack-polanski-signals-green-party-overhaul-after-row-over-zionism-vote ) really gives you a feeling of Kremlinology.
Like the fake neutral third person tone of "writing for the Guardian" - that's this fucking newspaper! Then going through point-by-point how it interprets what he said and why, with the interpretation really mattering more than the actual words themselves.
Can't exculpate him for "In my view it’s not the job of a political party to tell people what to believe" though. Stupid thing to say. If someone doesn't believe what the party believes - and can't swallow the contradiction or change policy - they can always go away and join another party!
>>2930781>gay, British, trump-supporting, anti-abortion neckbeardsYou've got to laugh, don't you?
UK government has released new guidance on tackling misogyny in schools.
That should be a good thing… right?
Only, can you imagine what the primary point of discussion in the new guidance actually is?
That's right! It's not actually about male violence against women at all. It's all about trans people!
According to news outlets briefed on this guidance by a government source;
>The UK government's plans to address misogyny in schools are inextricably linked to transgender issues because the updated Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) guidance explicitly ties the teaching of gender identity to the prevention of online radicalization and misogyny.
And so, according to the latest government guidance against misogyny in schools, they claim that being trans is the result of males undergoing online radicalisation, and is inherently misogynistic.
Should we focus on young cishet men actually being violent against women? Not important! Hating on trans people is how you protect girls apparently.
Again, according to news reporting;
>Gender Identity as a Vector: Officials argue that discussions about gender identity are often used to distract from or complicate the teaching of misogyny.
>The government posits that focusing on biological sex is foundational to understanding gender-based violence and protecting female spaces, while treating gender identity as a separate, "contested" concept that should not be taught as fact.
So the government will teach children that trans existence is just a meddlesome ideology invented to distract from real misogyny and the very existence of trans people is "contested".
>Curriculum Boundaries: Under the new rules, schools must teach the law regarding biological sex and gender reassignment but are prohibited from teaching that all people have a gender identity or suggesting social transition is a simple solution.
>This approach aims to prevent what the government describes as "disturbing content" or ideological indoctrination, while still tackling misogyny through factual legal and safeguarding frameworks.
In other words what should be important PSHE lessons tackling the real harm of misogyny becomes a "biological essentialist" gender critical lecture on why trans people don't exist but are also simultaneously "disturbing" and also to blame for cishet male violence.
The new curriculum is now: Maths, English, Science, and Terfism.
Of course this gender critical ideology that will be indoctrinated into children as fact in British schools denies basic biological reality - that there are numerous scientifically proven physical differences in brain anatomy prevalent in trans people that explain for transgender identity and gender dysphoria.
Before the TERF anons show up, here is a list of scientific papers proving trans identity and gender dysphoria is both real and caused due to biological factors, namely differences in brain structure where by trans people's brains more closely resemble those of the gender they identify with than their birth sex:
>Mueller et al., 2021 - The Neuroanatomy of Transgender Identity
>Manzouri et al., 2017 - Structural connections in the brain in relation to gender identity and sexual orientation
>Guillamon et al., 2013 - A Review of the Status of Brain Structure Research in Transsexualism
>Zubiaurre-Elorza et al., 2013 - Cortical thickness in untreated transsexuals
>Luders et al., 2009 - Regional gray matter variation in male-to-female transsexualism
>Garcia-Falgueras and Swaab, 2008 - Sexual differentiation of the human brain in relation to gender identity and sexual orientation
>Kruijver et al., 2000 - Male-to-female transsexuals have female neuron numbers in a limbic nucleus
>Zhou et al., 1995 - A sex difference in the human brain and its relation to transsexuality
I do not care if gender criticals have captured the political and media establishment of the West and if their word is taken as gospel.
To believe in gender critical ideology you have to deny the validity of all the above science.
In effect, it is no different to being a flat earther.
Which is why I do care that Terfism will be taught as fact in schools. And no less than in lessons that are supposed to be about preventing misogyny. The irony.
Even having even wisps of burgeoning independent thought whilst going through the British school system is psychological torture.
It speaks in Helvetica like a politician. Kier Starmer - not his politics, but the man himself - perfectly encapsulates life there.
It's like being surgically sewn into his womb. Thank fuck they didn't have anti-trans indoctrination lessons while I was there.
>>2930829This is distateful and will god own the same way as the Bush admin pushing bible stuff in schools in the 2000s, especially when feminist ideology is on the way out with all male demographics (i wonder why?). However we are not gonna go anywhere without adressing that doing feminist struggle sessions funded by the state directly to radfem geriatric and BAME contractors to "fight misoginy at school" anywhere in England or anywhere in the west in 2026 as if the we were in Afghanistan is some kind of farce at best, an cover attack on civil liberties and education at worse.
This is the logical end of all 2010 feminism and wathever preceeded it, by the way. There is a straight line from "manspreading" to feminist rentseeking over every facet of society and this Orwelliean abomination.
>>2930829>That should be a good thing… right?No. Policing people shows a lack of trust.

>>2930855>This is the logical end of all 2010 feminismIt's the logical end of all feminism. Don't fool yourself.
Re the "attack on education" part is that in the near future if you want an actual education for your children you will have to go to expensive private schools run by principled enlightened liberals or old catholic conservatives if you want them to have an actual education and not being sent into an purposefuly enshittified institution that doesnt teach anything besides debased INGSOC slogans taught by rent seeking regime golem, that doesnt get you a network at the end either because everything is made to turn you anti-social there. What politics like these are leading to is the "socially progressive" version of Red America public school becoming full bible stuff and outdated bullshit by RW activists.
None of these things will lead to more security from violence for puppils in general by the way, it's there for geriatric radfems and feminist BAME social workers to extract money.
Leftist DOGE fully needed in Britain once again. Actually even LibDem DOGE would be good at that point. Too many bloated ticks.
>>2930861You don't go to school for an "education"
It's babysitting for kids while parents are at work.
>>2930864Idiotic, else the elites wouldnt send their kids to very good schools. Also, most people's parents are asocial while their extended families are atomized and scatterred all over the country these days, so even a pro-social school environement that let the youth gather just to do nothing without being harassed by rent seeking regime golems would be a net positive with 2026 age demographics.
>>2930873>very good schoolsVery expensive schools*
Do you think Boris Johnson is more intelligent than you?
You are confusing status and skill.
>>2930829My gut reaction is honestly a little optimistic since whenever the government tries to force something in this way it doesn't work (has anyone held off on drinking or doing drugs because of schools telling you not to?) and is just cringe.
It continues to baffle me that everyone has gone through school and yet people still come to positions of power imagining that they are functional institutions that you can just pull a lever and have output
successful ideological indoctrination. We spend £7,800 per pupil per year
after a real-terms funding squeeze and we're definitely not getting £7,800 of value out of that. Long before I picked up serial contrarianism, I've had the underlying conviction that the average person would be better off if - after primary school, which we'll keep out of an abundance of caution - you just gave them that money. The best years of people's lives, so they say, and we lock them in a dismal little prison to get TERF lectures from an underpaid bore.
>>2930861>if you want an actual education for your children you will have to go to expensive private schools run by principled enlightened liberals or old catholic conservatives if you want them to have an actual education This is, so far as i can tell, already the case.
If i couldn't homeschool my child i'd send them to a montessori school.
of course i post here, so i have no child and could not afford to do either, otherwise i'd be out flying my private jet in circles around my big yacht. Anything else strikes me as some level of abuse. (Even homeschooling would probably warp them.)
>>2930864This is partially true but, so far as it is true, it highlights the grotesque waste of the current system. For £7800 a year you should have a ratio of ~3 kids per babysitter, rather than the current class sizes of 23.
But there are other roles for the current school system. I believe it's functionally designed to socialise you into a maladaptive way of living.
>>2930873Not necessarily contrary to what he says. e.g. very good schools may be no better at actual education (just better at teaching to the test and - very important - setting expectations), but enable them to network with other rich people and so on. The educational function of most British institutions (eton or whatever) is clearly secondary to their ruling-class function.
I don't think this is entirely true, of course, but I don't think either of you are wrong.
>>2930879>wastePeople don't want to hear this, but on average, private school teachers receive less pay than state school teachers due to a lack of unions. If unions act as a cartel to overvalue teachers, then that's where waste contributes. Unions are typically strongest in the public sector.
>maladaptationI see incompetence, not malice.
You must remember that general education is basically a 20th century phenomenon and might not be the best path for civilisation - at least not the "K-12" system. Vocational alternatives would be preferential.
Turns out the lad who jumped into the tigers cage was actually significantly mentally disabled and in the available footage was trying to tell the tiger to stop using Makaton.
Makaton is a sign language for both deaf people who lack the intellectual capacity to learn normal sign language, or mentally disabled people who aren't intelligent enough to use spoken languages like English.
The question is, how can a 23 years old who clearly has the mental age of a small child and zero understanding of danger or self preservation manage to travel to and buy himself a ticket to a zoo all by himself?
I can only image someone else must've done so for him. In that case, why didn't he have someone with him?
>>2930979>The question is, how can a 23 years old who clearly has the mental age of a small child and zero understanding of danger or self preservation manage to travel to and buy himself a ticket to a zoo all by himself?

>>2930886Eh, I think the underlying model of education provision is fundamentally wasteful and that's a bigger problem than any inefficiencies from unions. We've got NHS unions too yet the NHS is reasonably cost-efficient while doing a much harder job. (£5k/head - admittedly with a much larger denominator.)
I'm a little sceptical of vocational education, perhaps unwarrantedly, since I find it far too easy to imagine it repeating many of the problems of the current system, just nominally tied to a job the learners don't want instead of to a subject they don't care about, with the net result that it's as bad at turning out good workers as the current system is at turning out good learners. Really, once you've got reading, writing and maths down people should be free to learn whatever takes their fancy rather than whatever someone else could be arsed drawing up a curriculum / employer for. Hell, even for the first three, it's on the educator to get the person interested in the subject matter. (Maths suffers the most here, it's madness they've not integrated the whole thing with computing to show you the cool stuff you can do with it instead of having you solve kafkaesque fake problems at the behest of a babysitting prison guard)

There are some kids who just want to play footy and will never have the interest to learn maths. I think these people would be better off doing a full day of PE rather than maths, since elsewise there is mutual deficit. I believe in highlighting what is particularly useful in people rather than imposing a general education. Of course, some sort of baseline should be met (same way you need passing marks in college), but ut shouldn't overoccupy itself. Being bad at maths doesn't make you thick, it just makes you suited to different things.

>>2931299I basically agree but I think a lot of people who could be interested by maths and have some abilities in that area get put off by how things are currently structured. Speaking personally, I'm perfectly capable when it comes to mathematical logic/manipulation, but I can be careless with arithmetic. In a world where you can use a spreadsheet or program for the arithmetic part and some common sense to judge the final answer, that's no major problem, but in the current education system it's fatal because they want to see the right answer in the test. So instead of being sent down a route of being encouraged to explore what I was good at, I got steered away from it entirely and towards the write-a-wall-of-text subjects.
But for someone with no inclination to any part of maths, yeah, let them steer themselves towards what they're good at and what they're interested in. The very basics you need for daily life, sure, but beyond that don't force people to piss about.
>>2931377No. I'm the first to go out and attack the NHS for what it's shit at and advocate for not putting it on a pedestal because it's at-best completely amoral, but our health spending per-head is one of the lowest amongst comparable countries.

Besides they pay shitloads in laughably corrupt contracts to tech companies and have a million middle managers
>>2931679The wider point is that we pay
less per head to give everyone dogshit healthcare than we do per-pupil to give everyone a dogshit education, despite healthcare having inherently higher overheads.
(And on the whole, our healthcare system does its job better than our education system)
>>2931562>I basically agree but I think a lot of people who could be interested by maths and have some abilities in that area get put off by how things are currently structured.I think of my dad, who is a builder and is really good with maths as applied on the job, instant conversion between cm and inches, generally really good with maths outside of abstractions, yet if you ask him he'd tell you he can't do maths, because he was told he was stupid in school and stopped going.
>>2931679Your average GP who is a co-owner of their NHS practice is more likely than not to be on over 150 grand a year. Least last time i checked.

Really the entire political and media establishment loses their shit and starts calling you racist if you don't bend the knee to Israel.
>>2931980Based Portugal???
>>2931984I don't understand why honestly. They can't have every single politician fucking a baby on tape and the vassal state theory make just zero sense as there are plenty of those and criticizing them doesnt lead to such histrionics and unpopular shutdown. Sure there is lots of white guilt holocaust stuff involved but that cant be really "it".
>>2932089Israel is the second biggest foreign lobby in the UK after Qatar, they pay shit loads of politicians and that's not to mention all the powerful Zionist million/billionaires in the UK
And also how recent this all is. It's easy to buy the turd-worldist cope about the untouchable israel protected by the west since 1945 o algo but really even in the 2000 the mainstream press would release damning documents about Israel, far-right politicians would call leftist zogbots openly, many head of state openly disliked them and did not wanted their hasbarrah at home sometimes even naming their lobby (HW Bush/Reagan, Mittérand, Chirac). It just baffling.
>>2931676posed with a bible and a crossbow so definitely algobrained in some way
I wish someone would set up a left-coded anti-British Broadcasting Corporation campaign. There are anti-British Broadcasting Corporation groups out there but they're all generally right-coded, though often less than you'd expect. (e.g. they feel more like generic Tory c. 2010 attitude, rather than the general unified Hitlerism of modern rightoids.)
You could really hammer home one point ad-nauseam: if the British Broadcasting Corporation are going to be cunts with their huge budget, take it off them and have the government subsidise arts and culture piecemeal. Get every English literature, Media, Film, etc student or semi-professional with pound signs for pupils… It might even be net profitable, all you need is one big hit or so…
Even if it didn't succeed it could at least put the fear of god into the corporation, which is either malicious enough to believe its own bullshit or stupid enough to think left-liberal support is rock-solid so it can pivot to rightoid pandering, both of which are perfectly good reasons to shut them down.
>>2932324Honestly on the insta post I got this
>>2932271 from all of the people in the comments were saying boycott the British Broadcasting Corporation, a lot of them saying because they are zionist too. There is deffo scope for it.

>>2931423Is this documentary really the biggest news going on in the UK right now? Like 3/4 of the most recent posts. I went and looked it up and it sounds like it's going to not be too positive towards her social media shenanigans. The rightoids are convinced it's going to be a hit piece and they're also asking to defund the British Broadcasting Corporation because of it lol.
Anyway, whatever about her personally, she's still the biggest UK artist of this century. Probably the most notable British writer since Roald Dahl. Really not weird they would make a documentary about her.
>>2932563It's not about the documentary itself rather the timing and context in which it's happening.
>>2932563I'm sure it's not going to solely glaze JKR but probably will be like "well maybe she's bad but look at the random people making threats to her, she's basically an antihero"
>>2932560The problem is that there's no organised anti woke left that isn't just insane social conservatives
Except maybe CPGB-PCC but they have like 20 members lol
>>2932578Also they shoot themselves in the foot with inane shit like the recent "n word scandal" that was totally avoidable by them.
>>2932578There is: Starmer Labour.
>>2932605Still hoping for a glorious return from St Helena eh?
>>2932560>>2932578You cannot have a good anti-woke left for more than a very brief period. It's like asking for non-Scottish Irn Bru. It is inimical to the fundamental underlying appeal of the product. If, by some miracle, you do it briefly then it will inevitably collapse one way, the other, or both. (Think here even of /leftypol/ c.2016-17 and how it has ideologically changed since, in a way i'd glibly simplify down to 80% getting more woke and 20% getting completely brainwormed by rightoid slop.)
Instead of thinking of it in terms of ideological coherence think for a moment in terms of emotional or narrative appeal. If your whole thing is nostalgia for an imagined left that used to exist combined with loathing of the actually-existing left of today, you're already most of the way down a certain path. On the flip side, as I always hammer on about, plenty of people who didn't really care for the left in the past or who used to be much more radlib have trended left over time because the left caters to their emotional and narrative needs far more effectively. (e.g. scratch a self-described feminist under 40 and a pro-palestine activist with negative views on capitalism and positive views on socialism and maybe even communism will bleed.)
Or, if that doesn't land for you, you can get the right answer in this case with Schmitt: if the fundamental distinction is between friends and enemies, it doesn't take a genius to work out what happens when you put woke people on your enemies list…
>>2932563>she's still the biggest UK artist of this centuryand if that doesn't make you realise this nationbuilding project has failed and needs to go the way of Yugoslavia…
>>2932659I'm just so fucking tired of being spoken down to by wannabe HR reps in left wing spaces.
>>2932686The woke left have chosen their side.
They want to create right-wingers by making the left niche.
>>2932687Well so what do we do then? It's either be miserable because of woke radlibs or be miserable because of social conservatives. Why can't people just be fucking normal?
>>2932605They said 'left' anon, Starmer isnt a leftist
>>2932700>Why can't people just be fucking normal?They are, just not on radical politics forums.
Most people in the world don't even identify as "left" or "right", since these are fundamentally made-up terms that cause contradictions.
>>2932686I would agree but i feel like this died post Oct 7. Ironically 1.0 wokeness now only lives through the former anti-woke "populist" left who decided jewish feelings, "LGB" and "sex based rights" wathever that is are sacred ancestral law even though it only became a thing during Obama 2nd mandate.
Keir's Labour, Rowling and the few obsessed anti-trans anons we get in this thread represent this very well, they have one trillion sacred cows inherited from Obama-era liberalism and if you disagree with one of them or wants to push the enveloppe further to include more sacred cows you are some kind of naziradlibcommie warring against Western Civilization or English Culture, which encompass things that were considered disgusting, wrong or nonsensical by most of genpop and the elites before like 2012.
>>2932753These people always seem like total losers irl as well having met a few. They just radiate redditor and tend to get socially ostracized pretty quickly for being total freakoids.

In any case, leftism is not really a socialist politics.
That's clear enough.
>>2932757We're all freaks on this website.
Stop pretending like you are better than anyone else.
>>2931980>>2931985If you seriously think doctors should be paid less, you've lost your minds.
For the risk and stress involved, it's farcical doctors aren't paid more - as conditions in hospitals only worsen.
Nevermind that the inflated salaries in the private sector (whilst they went static in the public sector, particularly for doctors) put more educated/competent people off of studying medicine - or even leaving post-qualification.
Unless going the GP route, doctors in training will usually take 10+ years to even reach Consultant level
>>2932783Why should I defend doctor salaries? Most of them do a shit job anyway and don't give a fuck
>>2932777"woke" is an extremely efficient hueristic which allows people to know what you're talking about.
>>2932783This is non-materialist rubbish.
You set wages competitively, against the private sector.
If wages were too low, doctors would flee the NHS, etc.
"Stress" and "risk" are fetishised economic categories; not real.
But in any case, how much is too much? There is always a limit.
>>2932753>Keir's Labour, Rowling and the few obsessed anti-trans anons we get in this thread represent this very well, they have one trillion sacred cows inherited from Obama-era liberalism and if you disagree with one of them or wants to push the enveloppe further to include more sacred cows you are some kind of naziradlibcommie warring against Western Civilization or English Culture, which encompass things that were considered disgusting, wrong or nonsensical by most of genpop and the elites before like 2012.Yeah this is a TRVKE. I think that glaring hypocrisy is really one of the biggest problems with this holier-than-though self-righteous shit no matter what brand or flavor it is. People want to get all indignant and offended, "how dare you!" and then they go and turn around and do the same kind of behavior, maybe with a slightly different target.
>>2932764But I am better than everyone else
>>2932820>Why you doing that? >Is it for your GCSE? >TWAT!Waow,
someone got above a C in English. I guess everyone really is a rapper now.
>>2932686I won't pretend they're not tedious, but don't take it so seriously. It's just a status game.
Most "left wing spaces" in this country are a joke anyway. I will be very vulgar and speak honestly: what you want and need is not a political movement, but a hobby space with the kind of people who're cool enough to be left wing, but engaged enough with other stuff that it isn't the be-all and end-all for them. You achieve as much politically by discussing the shot composition of Mamoru Oshii's anime as you do joining any org in the UK at the moment, so you may as well watch weird cartoons about girls who don't talk and big robot movies that accidentally replaced all the robots with meditations on Japan's fake postwar peace… in peace.
>>2932687Not quite. We live in an age of niches. The idea of the mainstream died on contact with the internet. The trick, then, is to have leftism fit into every niche. You do not generally find woke-anime types policing woke-furry places, or woke furries policing woke trainspotting groups, or so on.
Since I'm just firing out theories here, this all comes back to Girard: you don't feel resentment at King Charles because you and he are differentiated by birth. A fundamental conflict in modern politics is this: conservatives do not accept that we are moving from a system where you are differentiated against your will, to one where you are differentiated according to your choices. e.g. a man and a woman can side-step mimetic rivalry by going "well, they're an x…" but this option no longer holds in a world where a man can become a woman and vice-versa, hence why the concept drives them absolutely fucking bananas.
But the left does not actually want an undifferentiated world and cannot deliver on one. Nor does it seek, really, to create a hierarchy based on politics. Instead, it meshes well with the basic underlying dynamic that we find our points of difference elsewhere: e.g. a weeb and a furry can avoid feeling status rivalry because they occupy basically different circles, even if they're both woke.
The future is basically optimistic provided we can pass peacefully through the final dying efforts of the old world to suppress changes that are ultimately rooted in technologies we are not going to give up.
>>2932700Don't be miserable, do what makes you happy. Don't take politics so seriously. You don't (and tragically, probably can't) become "apolitical" but you don't need to stress so much about things you've no agency over. You have supreme control over your own thoughts, so make sure they're serving you rather than vice-versa.
(Even if you think every single point I've made so far has been utter nonsense, that's the frame you should look at it from. I find them very helpful personally. e.g. I used to be very resentful of the nonsense people would spout as part of social status games, or wonder how people could come to irrational political beliefs.)
>>2932777Eh, it can be a helpful shorthand/shibboleth. Even if saying "woke" is loser-coded unless you do it ironically, it's a brand like any other and you can learn a lot by how people feel about it.
>>2932820what religion is he preaching
not going to watch 3 minutes of it, but I need that data to make a judgement
>>2932810>If wages were too low, doctors would flee the NHS, etc.That's not an option though, doctors have to do work within the NHS.
You do see an element of fleeing through increase in private work and leaving for medical work in other countries (e.g. Australia)
>"Stress" and "risk" are fetishised economic categories; not real.What do you mean economic categories? I'm talking about the very real qualitative effect of stress over working in a time-pressured workplace where wrong actions can cause severe harm, which can be irreversible and/or deadly.
Sure the time-pressure can be somewhat alleviated through getting better staffing numbers or funding, but you retards are wanting to cut wages which would deter people from working as doctors.
>But in any case, how much is too much? There is always a limit.Absolutely. But with how work conditions are in the UK, the public are lucky they get the care they receive, and the ingratitude seems not only unseemingly but misplaced.
Nevermind that ultimately, without good healthcare productivity will fall and the economy will crumble.
>>2932797> Most of them do a shit job anyway and don't give a fuckInstead of blaming doctors, why not consider the reasons why you would be unsatisfied with healthcare.
Could it not be that healthcare has become incredibly complex, with increasingly elderly population becoming increasingly co-morbid, with an increasing amount of medicines (with their own side effects and interactions), with an increased demand for services, and therefore less time to see patients?
Or perhaps there has been a push to offer longer-term cheaper care through employing less-qualified doctor replacements (e.g. advanced care practitioners; physician assistants)?
Or perhaps when the healthservice has a limited budget there is a tricky balance involved with how thoroughly certain presentations are investigated, and that there is neither the money nor physical resource to (e.g.) MRI scan everyone's whole body. Which of course therefore means there is greater risk people will slip through the net, conditions will be missed or found too late. A risk the public should be aware of but choose to ignore.
Whilst quality of doctors can certainly vary, it's not very "materialist" to chalk it up to most doctors doing a shit job.
>>2932819>I don't believe in doctor ownership. They should all be employees of the NHS.Sure, but to be clear this is a GP phenomenon and not hospital doctor.
>matched to nurses pay, who are drastically underpaidNurses should absolutely be paid more
But, and I may be misunderstanding you, are you saying you think nurses should be paid the same as doctors? I would struggle to see that being widely accepted or practical, given if a nurse will need to escalate something they will typically turn to a doctor, with the expectation the doctor is responsible (and that a nurse will be severely reprimanded by their own regulatory body if they have not escalated and something goes wrong).
Though with the caveat that if you are a senior nurse, or in a managerial role, you are paid significantly more than middle-grade (i.e. specialist registrar) doctors already - and the work is not comparable.

>>2932820Cool how they don't show any of what he was actually saying, the boomer is probably right they're preaching filth
>>2932850I saw 3 doctors that didn't help with my condition until I was lucky enough to see an advanced practitioner who was a younger guy that actually helped me, since then I could give a fuck about doctors gatekeeping their industry
>>2932845>what religion is he preachingBitchass. Boomer is correct whatever religion it was
>>2932853Sorry you had that experience, must've been so frustrating to say the least.
If the public want to be seen primarily by professionals who have studied less, don't do post-qualification/specialist exams, and work increasingly ill-defined roles (and above expected responsibilities) then fair enough.
I'd just be wary of the consequences. It's certainly not what I want for myself.
>>2932859It really depends on what you're seeking treatment for. e.g. basically everyone on an ADHD or transgender waiting list knows what they want and the NHS is just standing between them and it.
The problem is that the NHS as an institution is more interested in arse-covering and maintaining the illusion these things are big impartial judgements administering professional treatments and not a sort of ad-hoc "try this and see if it works for you" thing. Just giving people what they want undercuts that professional status.
>>2932898This shit just makes me scratch my head.

It seems to me all the Eritrean government has to do is promise to persecute these people they want to send back, then that would make their asylum claim valid.
>>2932816Sure – that's why you're a flagfag on a dying imageboard.
>>2932850>the public are lucky they get the care they receiveThey pay for it… Being a doctor is doing a job; not charity.
>>2932838>undifferentiatedBut this itself is entirely contradictory.
If there is no "difference" between men and women, why does identity matter more to the deviant than to the plebeian? Status is difference itself, as you already imply. My point is that status-seeking is retarded and vain. An actually-undiffentiated society is one with a common identity. Wokeness presupposes exceptionality, so can never be at peace with normalcy. It purposefully excludes the common – moreover, postured individuality is itself pastiche and boring. No one is more of a conformist than the pronoun performer (e.g. the current thing enjoyer). So, my advice is always be yourself, meaning to be boring and normal.
>>2932898The Ethiopia lobby in action.
>>2932838>>2933180And just to be clear, wokeness is not equivalent to the concept of civil liberty – but is still coincidental of "civil rights", as per Hanania's analysis. The positive law of a forced assembly called "integration" displaces any racial freedom of association which thus politicises the civil, and so confuses the categories. We see during WW2 that the British were naturally receptive to Black soldiers from the US, whilst the positive law of segregation made barracks separate, and so on, within American corps. It was alien to Britain to have such impoliteness, and so was spontaneously resisted where it was encountered. Overcorrection in the US case, by replacing one force by another, was transposed to the UK, which made racial minorities adopted by the state – a mediator between different people made voluntary association difficult, since it was contrived (e.g. by the Race Relations Act – you see this today, where the "British" and "English" identity is separated, between the state and society as such). This was made even harder by Thatcher's Public Order Act, which criminalised "hate speech", once more policing civil society by mediation. Effectively, honesty was censored. At the same time, homosexuals were petitioning for rights, and so postured themselves as a racial category; being "born this way"; homosexuality was now considered entirely accidental as an attribute, but was also protected by the state from discrimination. Not merely decriminalisation, but legalisation. Gay men and women were now sponsored by the state, and so lost immediacy to civil society. The same thing for the transsexual population with the GRA2004, which gave a legal title for one's preferred identity (e.g. identity seen as a legal entity, not a social entity, as it was treated beforehand). This also mediated between cis and trans women by force of the state, so denied voluntary means of association (e.g. the state is always anti-social in its contrivance). With EA2010, 'protected characteristics' were posited in mutual contradiction (e.g. as with the supreme court ruling, which by statute, overturns GRA, yet still leaves legal identity in limbo. Religious freedom is also implicitly exclusive of homosexuals, so declining a gay wedding, for example, is reserved – we saw in the US the controversy regarding a clash between religious bakers and gay customers – this would be solved by the freedom of association by medium of property, rather than the state in a normal case, but this is abolished). Wokeness is really in this tract; of abolishing society for the medium of the state to manage different identities. I believe in human goodness; woke people cannot, since they perceive the state as a shield against the public. Both TRAs and Gender-Critical Feminists are woke, and so deserve each other in this climb for government gibs. There is no civil humanity between either of them.
>>2933202How is having the right to gay marriage etc being "sponsored by the state"??
>>2933180Status seeking is basic human behavior. By typing a post you're seeking (you)s and perhaps agreement on /leftypol/. It's best not to hold people in contempt for such things.
The only way to be normal and boring is to, in Internet terms, not exist. And even then that means being a freak in private most of the time. (Say what you will about the most tedious tumblrite, I'd be them in a heartbeat over being publicly associated with this place, let alone 4chan)
>>2933202I prefer to think of wokeness as a civic religion and frankly one of the better ones that has existed. The emphasis on the state is overblown: in this very thread you've got people so negatively polarized by the state's anti-woke actions as to have become functional libertarians, to recognize that it's better to allow sinners than to have the state captured by the devil and mandate we sin..
(And as with status, you can't
not have a (civic) religion in this context. The question is merely what that religion should be…)
>>2933180>a flagfag on a dying imageboardExactly, I dont rot my brain on social media like most plebs.
>>2933180>Being a doctor is doing a job; not charity.Exactly my point
>>2933203Notice the framing.
It's not about rights to gay marriage, it's about rights from being barred from gay marriage – and this also misses the greater point, that marriage itself includes arbitrary legal protections to exclude homosexuals – the raison d'etre of so-called "gay marriage" was to remove obstacles, not to posit one's membership in a ceremony (e.g. the legal status of marriage allowed hospital visits, etc. But in essence, and de jure, all marriages since the 19th century have been treated as civil partnerships. With the right to divorce, marriage as an institution was effectively abolished – Marx by 1848 already discusses the abolition of the family, proceeding from Carlyle). The heteronormative illusion of moder. "marriage" is a bourgeois vanity.
>>2933208>you're seeking (you)sNotice how cynical you are.
I'm trying to have a discussion, and you're tallying points.
>wokeness as a civic religionRousseau was already false in treating state religion as civil religion
Wokeness is not an "ideology", it is a tendency of legal statute.
>state's anti-woke actionsSuch as? All factions are woke, that's the point.
>you need a civil religionNo you don't. Religion is a parasite on culture. Culture is organic.
>>2933229I am not tallying points, I am having a discussion. The moment friendship occurs is when two people notice they can freely swap places in the status game, e.g. they recognise it as a game and play it. I am simply trying to convey that there is no pure world free of status games amongst humans.
You draw hanania too far. You can explain elements of institutionalised HR wokeness by reference to legal and state structures, but this does not explain the part once termed "SJWism", whereas a dispositional theory - for example - is much more powerful.
There is either no such thing as organic culture (it is all man made) or religion (considered broadly) is an organic phenomenon. I share contempt for that which is generally recognized as religious faith but I do not believe the underlying impulses towards it have been removed from man. Politics, media, fandom, Internet communities, all are ersatz religions in one way or another. (And that's basically a good thing)
>>2933245>status gamesNo. Friendship occurs by a dissolution of competing status.
A friend doesn't care what you are signalling to others.
>SJWMaterial analysis.
What are the concrete demands of SJWs?
Political, economic and social power, relative to what they consider the hegemony of "straight (cis) white men". It is vulgar class war.
>man-made means inorganicWhat? We are humans, so everything we do is "man-made".
>worshipping your own alienation (objectification) is goodYou mentioned girard. What does he say about scapegoating, again?
Religion presupposes tribute to an alienated subject through which we become objectified. Capital is idolatry which demands sacrifice, etc.
>>2932820Not watching all of that though I really don't have that much sympathy for some of these street preachers
>>2933279By what means is the competition dissolved? By recognising it as a game where one can harmlessly play high or low depending on what is more fun at the time. It never actually disappears: many of the behaviours we engage in with friends only make sense in the context of there still being a generalised status game going on. Plus, of course, we still compete with friends (even if playfully) in various contexts. (Most obviously in actual games, where the general pattern is to try to win, but then switch to letting the friend win if you're winning too much. What most people really want is to be
just slightly above their peers, not enough to upset egalitarianism, but not
slightly below either…)
Moreover a friend absolutely cares what you signal: try never signalling interest in what they have to say and see how long they remain a friend!
I agree that SJWism is vulgar class war (broadly or functionally, most then-SJWs are now self-proclaimed socialists and communists) but this, if anything, reinforces my point that "wokeness" as a floating signifier includes these people despite the fact their existence is rooted not in a certain legal framework, but in other underlying material conditions. (the ones that have lead basically every first world country to electorally polarise politically by age, education, and to a lesser extent sex) thus, you draw Hanania too far.
>What? We are humans, so everything we do is "man-made".Yes. All culture is an artificial creation unless you want to go down the rabbit hole of whether some animals have culture. This is precisely my point.
If you look at all the contemporary ersatz-religions save perhaps the global Trump cult, they are less cruel than what has come before. To objectify oneself to Marxism Leninism or the TADC fandom or some other inane cause is a cultural leap ahead of doing so in the name of the supernatural. (Not to be confused with the TV Series
Supernatural, you can objectify yourself as a fan of that all you like.)
p.s. stop doing this quote line-by-line thing. You claim not to be here for point-scoring but the only reason to write in such a way is to score points instead of engaging with a post holistically.
