TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Our population just seems to accept it with a whimper as well. A couple of low-key privacy groups make a little bit of noise for a few days then it disappears. Where's the outrage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of low-key privacy groups make a little bit of noise for a few days then it disappears. Where's the outrage? I think the porn thing might garner an outrage when it actually happens. Or people will migrate to TOR. The problem is, that just makes things more dodgy... Ultimately, we can't mobilise in defense of porn because our wives will leave us. I seriously think that's a factor here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19849 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) mcdonnell is doing a decent job here responding to hammond's first autumn statement. soberly picking apart the tory cuts without resorting to silly, pre-planned stunts like the debacle when he threw chairman mao's little red book at osborne.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 We're entering a prohibition era. Backwards drug laws whilst the rest of the world moves forward. Spying on your internet, restricting porn. Yet you can log onto a bookmakers site and lose your entire life savings on one spin of a heavily taxed roulette wheel.

Rayvin 4964 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Yes, middle England and now the Working Class. Why do we even bother. As a caveat to this though - I've heard Tories argue that the debt is rising because of interest and that the Tories have been working on reducing the deficit. Is that true? That would give them some justification here and would suggest that austerity hasn't been entirely for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Very strong article from the Guardian. I'm surprised they published it to be honest, it cuts to the heart of their whole ideology and rips it out. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/dec/01/blame-trump-brexit-identity-liberalism#comment-88592983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NE is full of people who care a lot more about shit jobs and shit wages than about feminism or whether gays can marry. That doesn't mean they are misogynists or dislike gays and don't think rights are good, they just care more about things that affect them directly. Shit like Corbyn not singing the national anthem and trident renewal (see Renton) also influences these voters and failing to recognise it at least is very short sighted.

I think the left needs to look past identity and just see people as people. They can then build a movement around it and work on economic progressivism - which is the thing that will actually help more minorities and more women than another 50 years of this identity politics nonsense. The only way that can happen though, I suspect, is if the left is torn down and rebuilt. Otherwise it'll look like a rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Biggest Psy Ops of all time. To factionalise and fracture identity. To distract the left from its core paradigm the fair and equitable distribution of wealth and oppurtunity. It's the only reason the left should exist.... Like the elite give a flying fuck about blacks, women or gays....No it was all about displacement...Who are you? And how are you going to fight back? Identity politics was all about sowing mistrust and creating a refracted image of society one that can never be pinned down...One that de-weaponized us and our old core groupings of fraternity and fair play. If you and your community don't really know who you are (under the myriad of new labels) how do you fight back? What's happennd with Trump and Brexit is the rolling back to a default setting. Brace for impact. Edited December 1, 2016 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
