For me, it's not that the Tories are worse, but you expect it, yknow? In theory, Labour are supposed to stand up for us at least a little bit, so it's something of a betrayal

Youse guys wanna play stickball?

Yes I mean, he's not wrong but his thing about Ukraine is driven by his Churchill obsession, not by real world ethics

It actually sounds like he and Tolkein would get on really well

Absolutely

Global warming' gave us that senator with the snowball

In an ideal world we wouldn't have to moderate accurate terms to prevent bad actors making dumb arguments

But this is clearly not an ideal world

Those clowns in Congress have done it again. What a bunch of clowns

Individual politicians and political parties routinely use count a vote as approval. In that way, if no other, voting does serve to support the existing system.

I don't think that tracks.

The highest turnout in any US election since 1908 was 62% in 2020, and at no point has a party won an election and been like 'look at all the people who didn't vote, I guess we don't have a mandate to govern'

Parties win elections and govern in power with less than 50% of voters backing them all the time, it's literally the standard. A low turnout will not change the way any party acts once in power.

I love them all*, but the IT Crowd is at the top for me

(*Graham Linehan is a prick)

I never actually watched dead set, but I remember it was airing at the same time I had a Media Studies project at school about zombies so the tutors kept bringing it up

Jack was Biz Markie's only young friend

same thing lol

Except for immigrants, queer people, black people, Muslim people, and women. For those groups it is decidedly not the fucking same

But because the Democrats aren't going to reverse capitalism and it doesn't affect you personally, who gives a shit, right? Fuck everybody apart from you

Putting aside questions of ecosystems etc, I think the main reason is that we just can't - ironic since we seem to be extint-ing all the other animals

In South America they tried in the 50s and 60s, and more kept cropping up. They breed so quickly, if you miss an area they can just rebound. Then more can come in on ships and stuff

So you couldn't really localise it, it would have to be a huge global undertaking. And it would likely require widespread use of pesticides that are at best tricksy and at worst illegal, not to mention environmentally shitty
