Then look at the poo poo you normally eat that has long dates on it and buy that in too- for me it's lots of pasta and rice and then tinned stuff/spices to add to it. Tinned fruit for desserts. Multivitamins. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. And as you put everything in, note down on paper- or even better excel- what you have, how many and when the best before date is. I'm glad I did, because at a glance I can see I don't need to rotate much from the stocks built up earlier this year.

If you think about it, with global warming set to destroy us, only an idiot would attempt to sieze control of the country. It won't be around long enough to be worth it. Much better ro make aa much money as you can in the hopes that you can reserve a room in a bunker/on mars/under the sea. We can take some hope in the fact that as soon as the coasts are retaken by the sea, all the cunts who can afford to will gently caress off somewhere safe. Or at least 'safe'. So at least they'll leave us to drown in peace.

You need to post the long form version. His Divine Shadow posted:Now that I think about it I have three axes lying by the door. The zombie knife legislation is hilariously dumb, because they had to come up with something that would look like they're doing something, without actually addressing any root causes, so just banning something, but without banning useful tools like Yorkshire billhooks, so they went with some dumb vague "is a scary looking hooky choppy cutty thing that also has violent language on it"  Is 'bulldog' violent? I bet I can find several definitions on urbandictionary that are both violent and sexually graphic.

Borrovan posted:What? Yes it is. It's been happening for years, we've watched it in real time ITT - fascists are seizing power through democratic means all over the world, and stopping them means beating them in the streets and at the ballot box. There's a difference between revolutionary left change and fascism, though - fascism makes explicit some of the implicit tendencies and papered-over contradictions of liberal capitalism, and that's nowhere near as much of a shift as a leftwing redesign and restructure of an entire socioeconomic system. Much easier to bring fascism through the ballot box than socialism, it's just less of a change and isn't structurally opposed in the same way - it's not a revolution as such. I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of voting in socialism, though.

It's a bit easy calling Boris and his ilk fascists when really they are just capitalists. Everyone seems to want to put them in a little box away from everything else but that is not accurate.

Wow, not even the countryside people are taking this one well: quote:FARMERS FREAK OUT AS BOJO GOES PRO-ROGUE: U.K. farmers groups have condemned Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s move to suspend — aka prorogue — parliament on Wednesday. Critics have accused Johnson of trying to silence parliament in a bid to force through a no-deal departure from the EU if no agreement is reached with Brussels. Johnson insists the reason for the suspension is so he can present a new legislative agenda to the country.

There's no history of violent protest in the UK - and such no group that can organise as a vanguard to start confrontations with police and therefore the flipping of a crowd from a peaceful protest to a violent riot, which would be what is needed. So all these protests are going to just sit in a square, chant for a bit, and go home. People may be looming favourably at HK but the years of student activism there to create tightly knit vanguard organising groups there doesn't exist here- the students aren't even back at uni yet, and they are mostly hopeless anyways.

Guavanaut posted:What kind of axes? A heavy Gränsfors splitting maul, a small Billnäs axe and a middling sized Billnäs axe. I like the last one better than the heayv maul for splitting firewood, the small one is good for kindling and chopping of branches and stuff as well as woodworking. These are the Billnäs axes, both are probably from the 40s or so, I made new shafts for them and painted them, as they were originally painted black like that. Billnäs axes no longer exists but they were the finnish equivalent to Gränsfors. Picked them up at flea markets for a few euros a piece.

Like, opposing the prorogation of Parliament is essentially a liberal democratic position, nobody's gonna get their blacks on and take to the streets in defence of liberal democracy.

Borrovan posted:Militant trade unionist here, and this is wrong on both counts. Mostly. Not as wrong as I'd like it to be. Fairs - I've been listening to alot of Revolutions podcast recently, and the need for some act of violence - either the state shooting people or the protesting provoking them so they do - to turn many of the peaceful protests into angry mobs that do something has been a constant, along with the need for middle-class revolutionaries to coopt the violence of the working classes to achieve their liberal aims. Both which seem to apply here, except as you'd expect the middle classes have no way to cajole the workers into doing the revolutionary labour for them.
