I urge you to note here how much of British politics and media - and indeed British culture in general - is just bullying, and little more. Itโs a daily exercise in enforcing the social hierarchy by reminding everyone who they can and cannot kick. Thatโs why our most famous sitcoms are like that.

I understand those sharing that their grandparents migrated here with very little & the children and grandchildren ended up doing highly valued jobs. I also hope we don't just value one another according to income or job. There are so many other ways people contribute to society and communities.

Quentin Tarantino is a sloppy bitch who runs his mouth unprofessionally and doesn't hide his foot fetish. It's true. But pretending his movies suck is silly. You may not personally like them, but he's not a hack.
I also kind of miss the time when not everyone was media trained to death.

some voters are in fact in possession of ideas that are a menace to society and decency. their mental structures are diseases and we will cure the disease by making communicating those views too costly for anyone who wishes to be able to interact with other humans.

some worldviews should be silenced rather than publicly debated
shame is helpful and useful in accomplishing this, and when liberals take back power we're going to shame a lot of people into silence so their sincerely held beliefs die with them (when they die of natural causes,after being silenced)

Screenshot of a tweet on 2nd December by the Reform UK party saying 'Nearly 1 in 3 schoolchildren in Glasgow do not speak English as their first language. This is not diversity. This is culture smashing. Reform UK will make this a big issue in our campaign.' There is a video of Nigel Farage speaking.
Feeling proud of the intelligent multi-lingual children in our city!
This tweet and the Farage video in it about "the cultural smashing of Glasgow" is getting rightly roasted by the good people of Glasgow on the other place...

the economy is understimulated because people aren't buying things
to counter this, we should stimulate the economy with stimulus checks
in order to bring stability, we should keep doing it consistently, perhaps every month, for every person, universally

Girlguiding decision important yet it all makes me sad. The Guides meant so much to me but the announcement is so grudging, so reluctant, so concerned about the impact on boys, I wonder if it can ever again give girls the brilliant, confidence building space in which I thrived.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

This feels like the central toxicity of these dude-gurus: They're feeding men an ideology that immediately casts it as "virtue signaling" whenever anyone states a moral value of any kind. An explicitly nihilistic worldview and a recipe for lifelong misery.

A screenshot of a tweet by Rohit Mittal @rohitdotmittal that reads "Friend in NYC who works at a hedge fund was venting about his dating life. He came from nothing, worked his ass off through school, landed a job most people would kill for. makes great money. stable. Ambitious. Has his life together. And heโs struggling on the dating apps. The average profile he sees is optimized for a completely different value system. He showed me that the most common requirements were: No Trumpers. Free Palestine. Make the world a better place (or something similar). And the average girl is woke, working in marketing or social media or a social worker type job. Nothing about building a life. Nothing about stability or ambition or partnership. Just political credentials and virtue signaling. My friendโs not even political. He just worked hard and made something of himself. But in NYC dating, thatโs almost a liability now. According to him, 'Finance Bro' is almost a slur. Making money is something you apologize for. But women are also willing to throw away all principles if the guy is hot and they really want him. Seems like women who value stability, who want to build a family, who respect hard work, theyโre either not on the apps or theyโve moved to cities where thatโs still considered attractive."
"Men need to spend money to get laid!"
