Did I imagine it or was there a shite-wing snowflake avalanche over the new Superman movie? Because I just watched it and, as recent Superman films go, it's pretty funny and not deathly dull for once. I don't get the outrage... Is saving the world woke now? It's kinda what Superman is meant to do 🤷

Immigrant here. I studied English at uni to better my English to become as English as I could be. Turns out the propa English don't want anyone to speak proper English, unless it's spoken by a rich, white posh toff ruling over them, in which case that's fine...

Immigrant here. Studying English at uni made me, well, more Englisher. Which is the kind of English I'd probably speak without it. The way a lot of racists do I s'pose. Turns out to be a propa patriot, you have to hate proper English 🤷

Of course, we know the referendum was nonsense, but when it came to the GE and we all knew better (ie the majority as we like to think), everyone we as a collective voted for has promised a better brexit. It's easy to blame the governments, but we the people voted them, not Lib Dem, hence my point

Shihab S Joi @shihabsjoi.bsky.social · 3d

Well they did, becuase they voted for it, and everyone who hated Corbyn for not supporting Remain ended up voting for someone who was pro-brexit, so I'm not sure what maths you're after here

How did the complicated reading of brexit work out for anyone? It's utterly simple, because it's a concept rather a realistic endeavour, which is why a lot of people fell for it, and to this day believe someone can make it work. It's really not much more layered than that

It's pathetic that Tories, in their bid to curb the then barely relevant Reform, ramped up the STOP THE BOATS agenda, rallying a whole group of people who then decided Tories couldn't do it, and now Labour is still on that tip and proving they can't either, so off to Nigel and his unicorn they go

They look at America and see how the woke and the dark-skinned get trounced when they protest while MAGA can literally wave guns and swastikas and get away with it, and they're convinced their Nigel and Tommehs will give them just that kind of entitlement

My advice to those who fear for their future selves is ditch the five year plan or paranoia by the sounds of things.if you're happy being who you are today and strive to be better tomorrow, you'll be fine in five years x

Look, Corbyn probably wouldn't have made less of a pig's ear over brexit than the rest, but you can bet your bottom rupee he would've gone for softer deals, not make "stop the boats" the issue, wouldn't arm genociders, suck up to trump, but focus on strengthening local community and social services

Corbyn, arguably naively, did what a leader should do - try to engage with both sides so a resolution could be reached and not alienate one side entirely. But ultimately, Brexit won. If it's because the people didn't vote for Corbyn for not being fully anti-Brexit, how come Lib Dems did so badly?
