- Comment on The BBC Is Just Nodding Along 1 day ago:
The BBC is so compromised and corrupt that it has willingly ruined its reputation over things like this. Not to mention their misreporting of the genocide in Palestine. Their coverage is even more biased than Israel’s own reporting on what is happening in Palestine.
Whatever the agenda is, they seem happy to burn the BBC in service of that agenda.

As a reformed public guitar player myself, good on that man for speaking up. It’s the first step in getting help for many of us.

My door handle is probably antiemetic if we go by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.

That is absolutely damning.

I hope you’re not suggesting there should not be accountability for abusing someone to the point of suicide. This man faced smears and disproportionate consequences because of his colour.

Is also wonder about a guillotine on little wheels.
- Comment on Don't Call Me. Ever. 4 weeks ago:
We never knew who might be calling. Now the phones tell you who is calling before you answer and still some people are freaked out. I don’t get it, but I think I’m becoming that way myself.

I was just thinking that one table might get a bit old, that’s great! Reminds me of the Neverputt game. Always loved those.

- Comment on In a hearing on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed a non-disclosure agreement? Officials refused to answer 1 month ago:
That’s tragic. I’m appealing to people who believe far-right conspiracies (without realising the source is far-right) to be careful of what they consume, but they’re voting.
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 2 months ago:
I’m not in/from Britain myself but it does seem to make him look foolish.
Like in a comedy when a volunteer is sought from a line of people and everyone but one inattentive person takes a step back.
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 2 months ago:
It’s impressive to see the other parties unified in their strategy, which also seems to be a smart one. I heard Zack Polanski say (can’t remember when) that the people of Clacton need to reject Farage, so I wondered if they were running a candidate, but that’s not the case either.
- Comment on I wonder why the world is on fire? A mystery 2 months ago:
That’s a good point. I’ve been voting for a party for years that started on 2-3% electoral preference. The general consensus at the time was that it would be nice to see them grow, but they’re a wasted vote. They’re now around 10-11% and even as opposition have impact.
We don’t have FPTP where I am, but I can see from our neighbours the kinds of problems it creates. Still, once you progress beyond FPTP, the kinds of attitude problems we have here still persist. I guess you’ll have a better idea of the next steps once you have proportional representation, because then you have a better idea of the government people really want.
- Comment on I wonder why the world is on fire? A mystery 2 months ago:
I would also argue that few people have made a very good case connecting peoples concerns to capitalism. So to many it has a Southpark-ish ring to it: capitalism is bad. Don’t do capitalism. It’s an abstract thing, and abstract ipponentjyst make people feel despair and impotence.
The most persuasive people I’ve seen don’t use that word often. They directly link peoples concerns to inequality (unfair taxation and employment laws), climate ( fossil fuel companies) and unregulated abusive businesses such as big tech.
Those are not faceless, abstract entities, so people can organise their (justified) anger better.
Has anybody else heard good approaches for helping people understand ?

My theory is we prefer to treat obedient and servile objects as people, and actual people as unavoidable collateral.

A good traffic management plan acknowledges that when child predators slow down to look, it slows everyone else down too. /s

I couldn’t have said it better. Some people are genuinely not suited to it without other interventions first, but for everyone else, it’s basic mental hygiene.
- Comment on Tommy Robinson detained at Heathrow under counter-terrorism laws 2 months ago:
He is funded by US/Israeli billionaire Robert Shillman, so likely already has more money than he’ll ever need. The point of asking for donations is psychological manipulation: when people “buy in”, it’s harder to leave the cult.
