Just saw Jess Phillips's book in the science and philosophy section at Waterstones so I'm anti-science now.crispix posted:4 is a genius policy. I honestly think any party could win a landslide by pledging to bring back Ceefax coupled with a policy to implement a nationwide rubbish sorting and processing infrastructure with local weekly collection of one, big bin from each household. crispix posted:You evidently don't talk to many old people. Too many confusing bins and recycling-gone-mad and lazy-bin-men-not-arsed-with-the-job-like-in-the-good-old-days-when-they-had-to-hoy-big-metal-dustbins-about-all-day is an issue that could make them forget all about Brexit in the space of a week Bins were better when people did their backs in to move half as much rubbish. Bobby Deluxe posted:Plus you can punch the Borgia antipope in the face, where else can you say you can do that? Bobby Deluxe posted:There is also the idea that you do need something like the assassins in an anarchist utopia, because assholes are always going to pop up and cause poo poo, so you do need someone willing to keep the weeds pruned so that the general population can get on with being free without someone using that freedom to gently caress everyone back into capitalism. Pesky Splinter posted:And also, as it's been six months, an updated Previous Threads list: e: The number 4 features a lot in Passover, for example there are four questions to be asked, one of which is "why is Jeremy Corbyn here with a beetroot?"

The original Deus Ex is pretty heavily COY(anticapitalist)A. The dialog and reading material strewn throughout the game tend to lean left and much of the game is you as an antifa supersoldier taking on a corrupt state. The endings are a bit of a letdown as they only really let you pick between 'benevolent' dictator, shadow government invisible hand illuminatus or a primitive anarcho-syndicalism but I like to think the benevolent dictator one means you can enact fully automated luxury gay communism at your leisure. The Revision mod that came out recently breathes some life into what is now an antique game but the gameplay and vast array of choices you can make has always been top notch. You can play it without killing except for one person which is really good fun.

I'm pretty sure when I did deus ex I caused the singularity. But seriously if you've never played deus ex you should, it's like if alex jones's brain was the setting of a surpririsingly good stealth-em-up with that wonderful unreal engine feel to it, and a loving incredible soundtrack.

Braggart posted:A genuinely good Ronya post. I see that this is becoming A Thing so I am going to nip it in the bud. For the record, this is what I said: ronya posted:
And then: ronya posted:
It would be callous to deride the importance of mental health policy or treatment. It is not callousness to argue that the given actually-existing professional politician will in fact tactically sideline mental health policy and treatment, as a claim based on actual past conduct - blasphemy it may be, but I absolutely refuse to accept that calling this out constitutes callousness. And I base this on the fact that he did: actually-existing Ed Miliband ran on reversing most of Osborne's welfare cuts and actually-existing Corbyn ran on keeping most of it. You can wish it were otherwise, you can say that Corbyn is only costing manifestos because of the perfidious liberals and the damned media and the accursed neoliberal consensus, but presented with that constraint, reversing austerity's impact on the welfare bill sticker price was the cause that was sidelined. (source; if this is counter-intuitive, this was the thrust of McDonnell's 'whole reform package'. Reversing austerity - cuts to working-age benefits - had a hard cap of £2bn, but policies targeting the squeezed middle got much better treatment) It's not that the new hard left loves itself some austerity, of course: it's that it has too many other priorities and all of those came first, like cheaper train tickets and cutting tuition fees and still getting that OBR stamp of approval. Electability is a hell of a drug. Other features of Corbynism - newfound love for the London Met, or (to say the least) that much-ballyhooed tactical ambiguity on Europe and immigration - are consistent features of the necessity of triangulation, not a curious aberration from his years as a GLC veteran. You might denounce the fecklesness of Labour in opposition in 2015 whipping to abstain on Osborne's welfare cuts (those brave rebel backbenchers!), but fast forward to 2019 and here is Labour, still in opposition, under a different leadership, whipping to abstain on a bad immigration bill for exactly the same reasons. It turns out that talk is cheap from the back benches. Corbyn is not unprincipled - see, again, a consistent opposition to imperialism in foreign policy - but amongst those non-negotiable principles, immigration is not one of them. Europe, neither, of course (7/10, to be precise). But neither is opposition to austerity. This is the champion Firos is righteously embracing as the difference between opposing austerity or not opposing austerity: he who boldly shifted the party from a commitment to reversing the Tory cuts to a commitment to keeping most of it. This isn't a hard-left-wing-man-makes-hard-left-wing-choices re: Brexit, this is just feckless credulity.

ronya posted:I see that this is becoming A Thing so I am going to nip it in the bud. For the record, this is what I said: You responded to a post someone made where they clearly indicated how loving dire their position is in a pretty emotionally raw post. You, bereft of any empathy, completely glossed over their post to make some point about Corbyn not necessarily making that situation any better, neener neener. No one gives a gently caress if you were Factually Correct in this instance, your reply was as much of a "Torybot beep boop bad things happen" as it gets.

Regardless of what you actually meant (& no I didn't read the word salad) it was thoughtless & insensitive, & no amount of graphs equate to a simple apology for being a dick and he's responding to people clearly upset by telling them to suck his loving dick, if you perhaps forgot the tenor of the thread he was sallying into flippant disregard for others deserves nothing better

ronya posted:and he's responding to people clearly upset by telling them to suck his loving dick, if you perhaps forgot the tenor of the thread he was sallying into I just want you to know that you are probably the second most tedious poster that this thread has ever known. You are categorically unable to grasp that other humans have experiences and emotions that influence their beliefs and ideology. Post as many graphs as you want but you've demonstrated to just about everyone in this thread that you're absolutely incapable of understanding the emotional gravity that should be afforded to lived experience. If my choices are between a chance that things might, maybe, be better for the sake of my girlfriend's actual life, and just bleak nothingness? The inevitability of the person that I love taking her own life? I don't even know why I'm posting this in response to you because you are obviously unable to understand. It's a non-choice. There is an absolute right answer here. And that answer is the same for anyone who has ever or will ever interact with the welfare state in this country in any meaningful way. You and your kind are what has made the world what it is now. A bonegrinding machine for the very worst off. And the fact you're unable to even apologise for the hurt you've caused is beyond pathetic.

Post as many graphs as you want but you've demonstrated to just about everyone in this thread that you're absolutely incapable of understanding the emotional gravity that should be afforded to lived experience. It's also the same answer, or should be, for anyone capable of any loving empathy at all. Finding fault with Corbyn just to be loving contrarian is infuriating because it demonstrates a personality that just does not give a single gently caress about the people Corbyn wants to help most. In this way fubpees are worse than the actual fash they enable, the fash are at least open with their hatred while the centrist just wants everyone to get along while they pull the ladder up behind them as fast as they loving possibly can. If the centre wasn't full of idiots with second homes in better weather, brexit would have won by a landslide and all of this would be moot.
