hire apparatchiks, poltroons and idiots. Simples!
What's up with UK recently? They have a faschist + hipster government too?
@MonkderVierte @dgerard 46 unbroken years of fanatical neoliberalism have landed us here. We're so fucked
It’s the usual “uninspiring right-centrist doesn’t understand why they were elected, implements a bunch of stupid policies that don’t improve things for anyone but some consultants and donors, hands country over to frothing far-right shithead” cycle.
My pocket take: the chickens from 45 years of effective neoliberalism coming home to roost, coupled with Brexit hangover, has led the reactionary elements of UK society to retreat to rancid culture war positions
I want to downvote this so bad
Can't wait to see how this overlaps with the other story that keeps on rolling (like a burning cybertruck doing 50 through a school zone) out of the UK. You won't even need to bother designing wildly non-representative surveys of the parents of trans kids anymore. Imagine the efficiency!
@dgerard and then Microsoft increases the subscription fee before the Government discovers that chatbots can't replace so many civil servants
