They got less votes than under Corbyn. It wasn't a successful approach, the way the votes split just happened to deliver a landslide. First-past-the-post is a stupid way to run elections.

Why do people impact invest? Many things motivate a lender to participate in a crowd-funded loan.

They're ready to attack Iran as soon as they decide why they're doing that 🀯

It would have been better if it did, I agree. I'm I can understand the sensitivity. But I'm not willing to assume the worst from the absence.

I feel terrible about that. But I actually haven't expressed any opinions, I was trying to better understand yours, and why you seem to only punch left. I asked questions. You accused me antisemitism & having no empathy. If you want my opinion, I don't think that poem is antisemitic.

So much time.

Thanks for modelling empathy for all of us, very inspirational. I'll do better.

I'm talking about the choice to consistently call out the people advocating for multiculturalism rather than the neonazis. I don't think anything I've said is flirting with antisemitism but clearly there's no point in talking further. Have a nice day.

I looked back through your feed and couldn't see any criticism of, say, Reform. But the Greens, clearly the most pro-multiculturalism party, release a video featuring a poem written by a homeless person during on immigration and you're scathing.

Fair enough. But you don't think it's even possible the homeless person wrote the poem didn't list Jews for any reason other than antisemitism?

The reflective assumption of bad faith isn't helpful I think.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

This kind of commentary is so bizarre.

People have a responsibility to just decide fascism is impossible, as opposed to a responsibility to not be fascist.

This is the thinking of a primary school student.

Will the process of going public give us that visibility into their finances?

American conservatives: everyone should have a gun to protect themselves against a totalitarian government

Also American conservatives: having a gun means the government can kill you

β€œEveryone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
