Talk Talk - The Party's Over (1982)

At the outset, contemplative and melancholy tracks like this are a clear signpost of the future direction of Talk Talk

If someone disagrees with me, a Wise Centrist committed to perfect balance, they are an agent of Chaos who needs to be excised from society as a threat

I am right at all times, nobody should disagree with me, this does not make my stance authoritarian

Very smart Centrist

First they came for the socialists etc. What if they came for some really small marginalized group of people (0.05% of population), and because we tied ourselves in knots trying to keep everyone happy, we never got into power, and never achieved anything.

absolutely wild to niemΓΆller at a person from one of the groups in the poem to argue that it’s good actually to let them come for some people because it’s a tactical victory.

β€œi read niemΓΆller & solved the trolley problem the omelas way” is what a surprising number of people sound like right now.

β€˜Better to die on your feet’? What even is that? How are you going to die from sharing a changing room?

Nothing sums up the TERF movement better than being unable to distinguish between mild discomfort and a threat to life.

Some people are making points, saying things, talking to others, interacting

Clearly that's alien to you, as you are an absolute misery with no interests beyond laughably bad debate club bullshit and the persecution of minorities that you personally dislike

It doesn't, women do have and require their own spaces and this has nothing to do with the tribunal

Simple yes or no question for you: Have you stopped stealing bull semen from the farm yet

"A lack of demonstrable leadership experience necessary to lead a high-profile public body"

Yes, but she appears very senior in the Gender Critical Ideological Movement (GCIM), so I'm guessing that's why she got the role. (see thread below)

Almost certainly what is behind the war on trans in the UK, the Truss budget, and a lot of other authoritarian nastiness over here. #r4today

This is not a court case about changing rooms

This is an employment tribunal about the conduct of this specific individual

You are attempting to flatten the point, to make it so it can only be discussed on GC terms

That is not related to the facts of this case

You are a bigot and a fool

She was in control of whether the tribunal would be held privately or not

Her record is less unblemished than politely ignored

This is not about changing rooms, this is an employment tribunal

She frequently uses racial slurs and shares racist jokes in work chats

Pick better heroes

It's possible, based on her past behaviour, as well as the fact she's demanded this tribunal, turned it into a media circus, and acted like she's the victim of a witch hunt, to surmise a great deal about her character. Namely, that she has none

"I've done my own research" is bigot code for "I've found someone white who agrees with my point and will paint them as a martyr regardless of how clearly fucking awful they are, and distort the whole situation until I win"

There's an episode of Burnistoun where they show a trailer for a hard-hitting detective show where the twist is that it was one of the polis that done it, except one character's in despair because that's ALWAYS the twist
