ok that doesn't clarify anything. there was no such system, and when people talk about it today they could mean one of several things

so you will have to specify further

i read the interview. she's a very dull right winger from central casting in basically all respects

the only thing we should be taking from it is how to stop someone like that from being put in charge of a human rights body. or anything important, really

having maintained a software system that had to appropriately calculate wages/levees/taxes on a weekly basis, i can actually relate to this

i've seen people talk about 2024 being tactical voting against the conservatives

but it looks like a better explanation is that a big chunk of erstwhile tory voters voted with their hearts -- for reform

in its own way it's a form of anti-politics. also, like your point about economics, it's something that only really worked once, for blair in 1997

It's a variant of what I call "anti-vaxxer logic" in which a theoretical and manufactured what-if risk outweighs the very real, obvious and serious threat.

yeah that's why a central argument is that there's an imaginary "conflict of rights" between trans people and women

currently my timeline is full of women swooning over this guy

and fellow men, there's something to pay attention to here

he looks healthy, but he isn't ripped. he has a calm, confident gait. he knows what he's doing

these are things that a lot of women find very attractive
