More Bad News For The International Left

[Lance_Castro]

Reason #67,486 why you're never taken seriously.
Your president is a wannabe billionaire with a star on the Hollyweird Walk of Fame.
The billionaire's appointees are also billionaires and sexual deviants.

But, ya know, Dems are elitists.

What a fucking mess of a waste of oxygen you are.

Ha ha ha!

He’s your president.

Definitely a billionaire. Richest President Ever!

And also a huge celebrity, world wide.

Poor Delux. Such a loser.
Lol

I believe we have hit a paradigm shift, a critical mass finally united in a yearning for a future unaired in the past. Instant communication constant is shrinking our communications barriers just as constant close contact creates a blended people eradicating racism. As technology gains, religion and superstition fade as guiding lights and the ideas founded in our only rights, life, liberty and property, begins to seduce with its overwhelming efficacy and implied morality: Do what you will causing no harm to others.

International conflict will ease as will mass migrations.

The future beckons alluringly.

Following up on the communication constant. The interwebs allowed the the crazies and wannabe dictators to believe they were greater in numbers and loftier of purpose, so much so they took it upon themselves to initiate campaigns of censorship.

Musk ripped the mask off that initiative and Trump gave it voice. Now we all know that the little nattering nabobs of negativity are insignificant fleas on the elephants ass, are being treated accordingly, and they don't like it. They better get used to it.

 

[Lance_Castro]

Paradigm shift, my ass.

Normal cycle.

Years of government involvement in everything due to the Pandemic.

Result? A backlash against all rules and regs.

The needle with swing back more to the middle-left when people get tired of trump.

Wow and flutter.

 

[BAstoicguy]

I concur with both assessments.

I’d like to see a more intelligent fourth estate instead of “carnival news” fucking with the masses heads for ad revenue.

Theres no need to keep the average people in a fake lather.

Thats what Sports is for.

First time I've ever agreed with Lance on anything. The hyperbole lately has been thick and deep. Every single thing is the end of the world because of the other guy.

The reactiona have been furious....end of democracy....elections stolen.....world war 3.....aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

Nope...just another election with another old dude which is the same dude as a while ago.

Let's go!

"Global populist right" sounds oxymoronic -- because right-populists are nationalists on principle. Any international cooperation between them is good reason to suspect their sincerity.

There is no such conceptual obstacle to an international left -- but such a thing has hardly existed at all since the Cold War ended.

 

[CambridgeBi]

The Tories dragged down the UK for 14 years with their corruption and incompetence. Now the loons are pretending “Starmer is on the ropes” after a few months.

Fortunately, the Brits aren’t as dimwitted as you, AceRebelWatBA.

Starmer got fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn, Labour just got lucky and won the election due to very low turnout.

The problem with the Conservatives, as Braverman correctly pointed out, was: "We tried to campaign as right wingers, but we'd governed as socialists."

That's why there's so much talk about the "Uniparty" now because it doesn't matter who you vote for you're going to get sky-high taxes, enormous public sector, vile cronyism and bare-faced lies.

The only possibility of something different is Reform and that would be a case of try it and hope for the best.

That will not happen as long as the Corporate heads use the J-Schools as feeders through the local news industry, the farm club.

 

[BAstoicguy]

Exactly. They learned to the test. The question becomes: Who did we let design the test?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It won't happen as long as we still feed the chitterlings pabulum in grade school and give them awards for nothing.

I thought the UK party lineup was just Tories, Labour and LibDems -- what's Reform?

 

[BAstoicguy]

It is said and I believe it to be true, the lesser mind that wants to change the world does it through journalism, the telling of stories, and that path begins with "education" and departments and campuses and OVERESIGHT by expert.

WHO ARE THE EXPERTS?

We let them pick themselves. First Congress abdicated and then y'all (us'ns) let them off the hook.
Seems to be a bit late to demand accountability, but better than never.

Yes. The call to meritocracy is as the calling of the migrating wild geese.

Yes, why is my doctor an expert when the guy outside of Walmart offered to cure my cough with that thing that will make me feel good?

He doesn't even require insurance.

Nigel Farage's party and the current bookies favourites to win the next election.

 

[BAstoicguy]

I trust book over poll. You can say anything.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Nigel Farage's party and the current bookies favourites to win the next election.

Nigel is another Trump disciple. That's not a criticism, just an observation.

 

[UltraChad]

I believe we have hit a paradigm shift,

I think we have an OPPORTUNITY for one. In the remote chance that Congress cooperates to some extent with Trump and deliver a good policy or two?? Maybe.

Paradigm shift, my ass.

^^ 99% chance of this though......I just don't have any faith they will actually be able to follow through on anything.

Lot's of gridlock, bickering, bullshitting and subversion. Nothing of any real merit or substance will get done.

Probably take a look at the current funding bill effort. MAGA wants to burn things to the ground. Nobody in Congress has any intention to do that. It actually would remove a campaign angle.

Not sure Farage can be a Trump disciple when he was there first. There's certainly a fair amount of common ground.

Yes, because useless and or failed money pits need to be cut at some point.

Nobody in Congress has any intention to do that. It actually would remove a campaign angle.

Yea, how will the elites get all that gubbmint gravy to make them so obnoxiously wealthy without their congress critters making it happen for them.

God forbid anyone hurt the 1%'s legal scamming of the US Taxpayers....people could afford a basic life and we can't have that.

 

[BAstoicguy]

I go back to Seldon and Hoffer, the experience of age, but cultural movements produce the desired leaders. I do not believe it is chicken and egg. The candidate is a response to overwhelming social forces, the old Hegelian thing, thesis and antithesis...

This is why the similarity in leader and event.

Cultural and Economic
