You know I get that nowadays we have to deal with them because in America politics has realigned solely around whether you believe in democracy or not, and this is a terminally American website, but I do really hate moderate conservatives acting like we share a language of discourse.

One of the best favours you can do yourself on this website is mute anyone who responds to a funny post of yours with a comment that is trying to be funny and isn't, in any universe.

Wild take but maybe if people obsessed with The Sports Question want to continue this game where they pretend they're not transphobic they can stop saying "biological men"
I'm shocked, shocked she's also transphobic, well, not that shocked.

i don't care for defending "the BBC" in the sense of the specific institution, or its works; not because i think/don't think those works are mostly good or bad. i care for defending the public broadcaster because it's good we have one

also way too many proposed liberal or even socialist responses i see to this problem essentially suggest just lying more ourselves
I agree. The narrative explanation for declining trust has become ‘political polarisation’ rather than ‘lying is now the norm’ which massively limits opportunities for adaptation and resilience to manipulation.

I can't believe Russians complain about being called orcs when they literally named a city Orsk. You brought that on yourself

i actually love people who crash out at me in a completely histrionic fashion and then get angry that i quote tweeted them and "invited a dogpile." i didn't invite shit, i just basically did the online equivalent of pointing and laughing, and because you were being ridiculous, lots of people laughed

i strongly believe that anyone who thinks dany/drogo was a truly romantic relationship belongs in prison and no i dont even mean that in the books she was still a literal child
But tbh anyone giving their kid that name was illiterate to start with given that to be frank what happened to Dany in /book 1/ is already horrible and not in any way desirable

I do find the way that most people choose names for their children to be absolutely horrifying and it's not really for the tragedeigh aspect of it either (i can take or leave that one). No, what annoys me is the fact that they don't care about things like etymology and cultural background

I do think it's weird that in UK governance in general it is far easier to now implement what are, whether you agree with them or not, basically paternalistic restrictions on consumption (the choking porn ban being the most recent example) than actually raise taxes and spend money.

I still don't know who Adam Tooze is and you can't make me find out. The economy may be real but that doesnt mean I have to believe economists are

Man, there is no need to want to know this.
Could someone explain to me what is meant when a British person refers to "the middle class" ? Like, in the US, as I hear it, it basically just means a person who makes a certain amount of money, not too far below and not wildly above the median. Seems like a complex concept when UK writers use it?

To put it another way, *capital* is perfectly capable of organizing decarbonization. The problem is *capital-owners*, who are political actors and not just the embodiments of the accumulation process. Elon Musk is symptomatic here.

The problem from their point of view is that rapid decarbonization requires public, collective decisions about the organization of production, in a way that threaten capital-owners' authority over both the production process and the political system.

in general ime, unlike straight women, who usually need to be encouraged to dump a Terrible Guy, so many breakups initiated by straight men really are quite stupid and should be questioned by a well-meaning friend looking them dead in the eyes and going "but are you sure, because this is nuts"

i'm not gonna lie lads i find it hard to take this notion seriously. you all seem to think it's really illustrative but i think, subjectively, that it's just whiny
I do in fact live with a person who doesn't eat the same stuff as I do, we have actually quite distinctive tastes, and all we do is basically just work around the issues because the notion of breaking up over that is silly.

the message of The Thick of It wasn't "Malcolm Tucker is a hero"
some British Politics Knowers relish just a bit too much the fact that politics is often dirty, dishonest, untransparent and closed, which are bad things that they don't necessarily have to be
Relatedly, I really hate seeing the affected internet leftist cynicism of "young people who are into politics are weird and it anything we should discourage them" takes, another instance of actually just mystifying and wonkifying political involvement and making the claim a self fulfilling prophecy

i'll grant you this makes me a particularly orthodox kind of pro-multiculturalism proselytiser, in that i can't take objections of that ilk particularly seriously even as a point to engage with
As a child of multiple generations of religions and ethnicities marrying despite generally accepted bans I think even abstract reservations about it kind of aren't valid.

Speaking as the former Co-Convener of a political party youth wing, I will die in the ditch of "youth wings are good, actually": the Scottish Greens got 8 solid years of quite intense activism out of me it'd have never have got had the Scottish Young Greens not existed and drawn me in!

Like I'm sorry but the average 20 year old wants to hang out with other 20 year olds, not old people. This is a societally universal phenomenon that has to be adjusted to, not "why won't people just"-ed
