True! She’s such a ghoul though she unwittingly helped out by condescendingly backing his leadership bid “because he’ll never win” and they used to just let a leftie run for appearances’ sake

I went to a Labour event in North Islington once where Jeremy and Starmer both spoke (this was back in… 2015 or so, when Jeremy was first campaigning for leader I believe?). Starmer was extremely boring and entirely forgettable, though there was some polite applause. The crowd was hollering and chanting Corbyn’s name when he spoke. And in the years since seeing how he has treated our Jez I have always wondered whether it’s been motivated by the petty insecurity of knowing that he will never have true popular appeal

Incredible. Now do Shen Yun

Does anyone else find the catchphrase “let’s finish the job” somewhat ominous

I put unsure, which is true, though I’m AFAB and cis presenting. A lot of online spaces (whether leftist or otherwise) are just hard to interact with when you’ve grown up conditioned to femininity. At least on Twitter, TikTok etc there is some amount of accountability with people’s accounts but in more anonymised spaces the language and discourse is often just very… dismissive, cynical, violent, etc. and it’s not that it’s not warranted, but cis women are often raised to be repelled by that kind of tone so it can be a shock/difficult to fit in even if the space isn’t overtly or implicitly misogynist.

“Republicans voted against this immoral and blatantly fascist act” isn’t the own they think it is

Nahhh the unspoken rule is if you can dish it out you have to be able to take it. If you can’t take it people will only keep needling at the thing that triggers you the most until you develop a facade of utterly impervious cynicism and apathy just in order to survive the most basic of social interactions

Oh god Paul Mason. What an absolute dweeb

I have only played MH Rising and don’t recognise any of these mfers 😭

I liked the dargon that blew tornadoes at you and the slinky water girl and the polar bear

Are taglines from off-instance allowed? Because that is a banger

I dropped it after the first half it just wasn’t interesting anymore

They’re running a candidate in Islington North? Hahahahaha get fuuucked. (I used to live there and I cannot imagine the place voting for anyone but Jezza, he’s universally adored)
