Linked the thread because the comments deserve to be dunked on.

A lot of the same people (wrongly) claiming Corbyn was going to do a purge any minute are of course strongly backing this.

    the point is to have the same ghoulish neoliberal policies enacted by people that look more respectable when they're doing it

    when obviously cruel policies are enacted by corrupt oafs the libs can't pull their "well it's actually nuanced and complicated" and they hate when they can't do that

      I don't think people like blairites, democrats or succdems are knowingly part of some big conspiracy to keep the world shitty. Objectively they are but they have completely bought into the TINA message of bourgeois propaganda and believe that anything but neoliberal austerity will result in disaster.

      Pair that with their megalomaniacal sense of being entitled to the unquestioning support of anyone to the left of Genghis Khan and you get some of the worst people in existence.

        oh for sure, not implying they're doing it deliberately, see "kids in cages" vs "migrant overflow facilities"
