      That's not all, I bet they're going to have a lot of fun when the Brits have vacation abolished to be just like America too!

    My brother married an English Tory who swears the Tories are the real left party while Labour has always been far-right. She also said that nationalizing the railways hurts the little guy and has never worked. Funny thing is that they live in the US where she was a big Bernie supporter.

      a reflection of nonce island rather than of himself.

      More a reflection of what happens when basically every media outlet in a country is out to bury you. Still very close in the first election even with sabotage from his own party and full media hostility.

          Don't forget the head of the actual military coming on national telly to speak against you and say you're a threat to the nation. Something that's supposedly meant to not happen.

        Okay am going to say it, I’m losing sympathy for people who fall for propaganda. I get “we live in a society” made up of smarter than average apes or whatever, but the existence of people like us indicates that this shit ain’t fool proof, you CAN fucking see through it. And the propaganda is getting more and more blatant and people are falling for it harder. I’m at the point now that I’m like “I got over falling for this shit years ago and I ain’t no genius, wtf is these peoples excuse? If they keep falling for this shit I guess they can go lay in the fucking bed they made for themselves, enjoy getting fucked over on healthcare you dumbfucks.”

      He’s WAY better on imperialism than most Succs. I won’t say he’s perfect but he’s pretty consistently spoken against US and NATO saber rattling and even said positive to things about a few AES states.

      I think Jezza is a "true leftist" or gets honorary status or something. The man has so many good takes.

        Even if you think you're ideologically several degrees to his left, he's actually spent his whole life championing left causes. By default he's better than all of us.

          Also very true. Praxis is always more important than ideology.

    Corbyn's downfall marked my loss of any sliver of faith left in reformism or the political system. You can promote what everyone wants and still not win, it doesn't matter, all that matters is how the media and establishment think of you.

    Humans are bloody idiots.

    "I said that I wanted privatized healthcare so I can be just like the Americans and now I'm getting exactly what I wanted?! WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!"

      We’re weird fucking apes with delusions of godhood, and the sooner we accept our weaknesses the sooner we start avoiding the pitfalls of those weaknesses.

      90+% of Brits don't want privatised healthcare. The Tories specifically said they would not do it. Duping people is not the same* as turkies voting for Christmas in this case

            To my yankee ears this sounds like something a southern grandpa would say.

            “Ohh sonny, don’t be a squirrel trapped in a hen house on Sunday”

            “Wtf does that mean grandpa”

            “Well ain’t you a two fisted hog on a river barge”

            “…”
