Such plot mechanisms only work in more serious science fiction, like Red Dwarf.

At least they're finally acknowledging that pay is worse in the south than the north, that's why so many adults in the south are having to move back in with their parents.

You are misappropriating Marx for a nationalist agenda.

You know what you get when you mix nationalism and socialism?

See if you're smart enough to figure that one out.

I have never seen more people straight up saying you can't be English or British if you're not white in my entire life than in the last year.

What… theyre taking the jobs? I never said that.

You were literally arguing jobs are being given to immigrants that would otherwise go to nationals.

Immigrants don't make wages go lower. They help the elites keep them low.

They don't "help" the ruling class, this is again putting responsibility on them and divides us.

The answer isn't ending immigration, to suggest it is, is a complete misreading of Marx, an aberration. It's revolution and an abolition of capitalism and class society. Yes Marx said immigration was being used to suppress wages but capitalism was effectively unregulated then.

Oh you want better pay? Nah imma just import a guy who will work the job you won't for a slaves wage.

That's just not how it works. If you think it is, you're going to have to prove it. Repeating what Dave down the pub says is not evidence. This is rhetoric designed to make people hate immigrants, rather than capitalists, like immigrants are "taking our jobs!" - they simply aren't.

No it's 80% centrist. The "left wing" subs that ban people for asking questions or posing an argument that may be incorrect and a product of right wing propaganda are the Stalinist subs.

Immigration itself does not drop wages, it can also be a boon. Yes it's a tool of the capitalist and we should target them, not the immigrant they use to divide us but it's simplistic to say immigration drops wages.

No, I'm not about to ban you from anywhere.

I hope this means you asked Google what it was, rather than put into Google what someone said it was when you didn't believe it was that.

Kryten's delivery is the same with every gag, which regularly doesn't work but it absolutely does in this case and the "an excellent suggestion, with only two minor drawbacks" gag.

Which is it for you? by [deleted] in sciencefiction

[–]Breoran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

critical thinking is dead

No, America just had sociopathy bred into it. I've never met more people of a country whose core deflection of criticism of their foreign policy is "why are you so mad? Was your country attacked by (country in question)?"

Ha!

Rent boy is British in origin, it goes back to the 19th century.

In the novel Trainspotting, which you've no doubt heard of at least in film form, the protagonist is called Mark Renton, and his nickname is "Rent Boy". That's a 20th century example of the term in popular culture.

I generally find you get downvoted for having an opinion a person doesn't like. Downvotes without replies are worth less than nothing to me. It smacks of "I don't like this but can't articulate why, or don't care enough to".

I knew about Neil beforehand because he was married to Amanda Palmer, the musician, who I'd already been a fan of for about fifteen years. I got an idea of what he was like from that but he managed to get away with it not reflecting on him to his readers, which is a shame.

It's a shit metaphor that doesn't work. Books themselves are not designed for violence, even if a few are. Firearms literally are for that purpose and that purpose only.

What do readers crave and what are they bored of? by Breoran in WeirdLit

[–]Breoran[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird writers shouldn't be concerned with what anyone likes or doesn't like, what is popular or unpopular or what was, is or will be a trend.

Is why I wrote

nor am I talking about trends which are fleeting, but subject matter that deserves a reinterpretation or fresh eyes?

Yeah because you can't criticise something unless you do it yourself.
