it's why I've found 'he's an upper-class failson whose grandad designed the windows on the world restaurant' a much more effective line of attack than Having a Fucking Nazi Tattoo because they just see that as an expression of sincere working-class naivete. it's a little depressing.

People who think that a nation needs to be homogeneous to survive — one race, one religion, one ruler, one thought, and one feeling — will point out that every heterogeneous polity the world has seen is full of problems and eventually collapses.

Body shaming and ableism are not and will never be woke, and this is the problem with not understanding the difference between how Black folks talk to each other and how the right co-opted a term for their own purposes.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.

I would feel better if someone convinced me that Graham Platner were trustworthy, but it seems like people arguing that side mostly make the argument that it's terrible that anyone wouldn't trust Platner. Someone must have tried to make a more serious case, right?

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....
funded by automakers
because their cars were killing pedestrians
So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

This is now literally the lead story on BBC News Scotland. The employment situation of a private individual harassed via lawfare is deemed the main headline for national news. This is genuinely sickening. The media is a cancer upon this country.
