Another British leftist misjudgement is arguing with gammon types and using the point that "Well, we fought against fascism in the Second World War!" Honestly, these people don't give a shit, because they don't perceive it that way; they almost always talk about fighting "Germany," not "Nazi Germany." They're actually quite alright with fascism, as long as it's wrapped in the Butcher's Apron.

having a text conversation about #jobhunting and hitting that "oh you've got such specialised skills its gonna be hard"[proceeds to list tasks from strategic planning to grant writing to partnership development and maintenance to shippings and customs wrangling to safety management planning]...and *we haven't even started* on the "specialised stuff" yet, this is just preparation.It's yet another instance of how anti-intellectualism is deeply ingrained in Australia*sigh*

One of my friends has just said he’s going to be late arriving at #EMFCamp because he has to take his vintage electric milk float to London for the dayWhich is possibly the most EMF excuse for missing part of EMF I can think of

And also I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who looks at the vast, wonderful kaleidoscope of diversity out there, whether the natural world or the human experience, and thinks "I don't like this, I want to make it more boring"

I grew up believing that the future would be better for everyone. The ultra-rich stole that hope from all of us. I want it back.

@Quasit @Binder I left Germany just a year before the Berlin Wall came down. Just under a decade later, there was the Good Friday Agreement. I really thought the world was becoming a better place. Scooby Doo was right every time. The monsters always turn out to be evil old men.

Politicians are generally scum, but if you've ever mocked them for producing bloated bills, try getting just four people to agree on a policy for a small community theater -- a policy that still has to be debated and voted on by the entire board of directors .Our moderate policy went from a single pithy paragraph to four hefty paragraphs before we could come to agreement

"Blah blah...you should never talk ill of the dead."I'll speak whatever I want about the dead - if they chose to be evil wankerbutternoodles while alive & chose to be fascist bigots, actively harming people & planet.Shove that kinda of saintly crap, right back up your ignorant bunghole, if you are a turdbucket who tries to tone police anyone who refuses to not speak ill about dead shitbuckets.

Do not let the death of a politician fool you. You need to stake his heart, lop off his head and fill his mouth with garlic to make sure his political agenda doesn't reanimate at a later time.
