I think because he seems like such a weedy little prat then centrists can't believe can be a bad person. He is the epitome of the banality of evil

He's right, except he has the wrong elites and the wrong religious intolerance

Call me old-fashioned but I think it should be up to a political party to give you are reason to vote for them, not the voter to hold their nose and hope they change.

Until the Democrats understand this fundamental truth they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes

Being too dumb to understand what IQ is must have some sort of term for it beyond being ironic

Yeah. It didn't enable corruption. It exposed it. For those that want to see at least

I have to admit I was pretty sceptical of Polanski after hearing all the hypnotits stuff but he won me over with what he is saying and doing now. Sort of the opposite of the Labour party

My friend lied to me the other day by saying he went to the doctor and said he was a pair of curtains. I can't remember what he claimed the doctor responded with

I wasn't bigging her up. It was the first children's author I could think of. I wasn't aware of her horribleness. And maybe that's the point. It wasn't but it can be now

On the bright side she is absolutely fucking her legacy. She would have been remembered as her generation's Enid Blyton. Now she will be seen as an even worse Roald Dahl

I mean, capitalism is a big driver in destroying the environment

I can only disagree. I thought there were a lot of interesting things going on with and between the characters.

Is oil the set dressing for There Will Be Blood? The film is about the people and their relationships. The politics are just the setting for the story and I think people have run away with how much that actually means and then that is being used as a stick to beat the film with

Do you ever get a moment of clarity that people like you helped usher Trump in or is self-awareness antithetical to centrist meltism?

For me it is Corbyn getting shit for how he pronounced Epstein's name and now people who flew to his island are being given the benefit of the doubt

Sensible Labour twonks are constantly going on about Global Security without seeming to realise that the biggest threat is sitting in the White House scoffing Big Macs

It's almost like there is a large left wing demographic that propped Labour up during the Corbyn years and then got kicked out or left when he was stitched up and replaced with a neocon robot and are now embracing the Greens. That can't be it though

Stop trying to make "tariffs" happen

nothing says winning like telling people to eat offal

Plus you would have to be naive to think Starmer didn't know about the Epstein links. It is just that he, like all of them it seems, never thought it would come out

Please Please Me

If journalists did what they were meant to we wouldn't be in this mess

I think it is worse than that. Rather than being properly state-run they just pander to the state and do what they assume they want. This often leads them to go further than the state ever would

Yes and then Vance. Or Stephen Miller. Or...so many to choose from

For those sorts of people there are no bad actions, only bad intentions. The mere fact of being a leftie or liberal is the crime, and being right wing is righteous and so nothing they do for that cause is wrong

It just plays into the hands of the people who don't think we deserve better. Why can't Labour offer more? Why can't we show how weak their shit is by not voting for them? If you always vote for the lesser of two evils nothing ever gets better. How else do you show you aren't happy with the options?

OK why do you think we can't have better? And why is it the voter's fault there is nothing worth voting for?

Do you not see that constantly settling for "better than the Tories" and nothing more has led us to where we are now, not any specific election?

But again, why are you blaming the chooser rather than the choice? Why this hanging on to the idea that we can't get and don't deserve better?

Funny how these people blaming voters for letting the right into power were pretty quiet when every centrist on the country was saying not to vote for Corbyn

The lesser of two evils is still evil. All it does is move everything to the right, as we have seen in America and Britain.

Instead of blaming voters why not blame the politicians who offer nothing to most people

Again, citation needed. You throw out this stuff without backing it up in any way at all. You are spouting second (at best) hand bullshit and claiming it is fact. Why is it so important for you to deny the lived existence of a marginalised group of people? Bored with your bigotry now, bye
