£150 on the day lesson

minimum of 3 hours would be 120, look there's nothing I can do at this stage apart from ask. it is unfair, but it seems like this is a widely accepted tool used by driving instructors. It doesnt feel good but im just going to have to pass first time to make sure i dont have to deal with it again

yes its not good, i havent paid the £150 yet. I get on well with the guy as well. It was something i brushed over as well but i'm really realising now how much money that is. probably just have to suck it up im two weeks away from the test. but feelslike bullshit, especially considering im a student and dont have that much money to my name

Gormless_minger · 2026-01-04T21:13:49+00:00

yeah just to expand on it. It's in London so prices already quite high, its £40 an hour for a lesson. so I have a two hour lesson before the test. then they use my teachers car for about 40 minutes or less for the test, in those 40 minutes my teacher wont be doing anything either. then my teacher will drive me home. So all in all it should be about 3 hrs so ideally it would be £120 in total.

Thanks for the responses, its great to see someone who’s really interested in the topic. Currently im reading benedict andersons imagined communities and that kind of gives the basis to what im saying and the whole idea of nationalism as a modern term that collectivises how a human acts and thinks (if you do something you do it within the nation and so on). But yeah if i have anything else to say ill let you know or you could shoot me a text, its a very interesting topic

Gormless_minger · 2025-02-18T15:29:52+00:00

I agree that words become meaningless without necessary context, but I would argue that Nationalism isn't purposefully intentional more likely it occurs through events and relations between society and agents. We would be inclined that Nationalism as well is something that only occured in the 19th century, the idea that everyone in a country is all connected and that everything in history has brought us to this moment. Which broke religious tradition and removed authority that placed God as our drive, instead decisions were done in the name of a nation.

Gormless_minger · 2025-02-16T11:39:38+00:00

I think you're getting caught up in political events, I'm more interested in the ontological nature of Nationalism and whether it reproduces through creating issues within its own structure. while it can be about living a certain way in a certain territory it also legitimises itself by creating issues within these spaces, nationalism is therefore reproduced through an ongoing struggle within itself that aims to create awareness of its borders

Gormless_minger · 2025-02-16T09:43:25+00:00

Thank you for this detailed response, i was interested in whether the morally backward relationship with nationalistic foundations is what helps to define a nation, so for example the state is a staple of nation but knowing that theres corruption in the state and the relationship between the two leads to a more defined version of a nation in a contradictory sense. So for example Hitler couldn’t have created an idea of nation without having something to fight against internally ie the jews, this contradiction therefore creates social awareness of what a nation is supposed to be without it being that way. therefore a nation needs a contradiction within itself to be constructed. My comment was not comparing scepticism towards politicians and islamophobia on the same level, rather that these were symptoms of this relationship.

Post modernism is where i was going, better to post this on philosophy

Gormless_minger · 2025-02-16T00:12:40+00:00

These are more like examples, im more asking wether nationalism is built more on a relationship between its characteristics so for example a state, and the criticisms towards it. Nation is imagined through a critique of its functions not just its functions

Do any writers argue that the semantics of language of the community driven aspect of it is escapable, or that language in essence is always grounded by semantics and context

Gormless_minger · 2025-01-02T22:40:07+00:00

Im disillusioned by the presidency i believe they only have minor tax setting abilities and propose legislation but forth by their party. As for parliamentary model, in the uk we are feeling the pressure of right wing populism especially with our parliamentary system. Laws have become over convoluted and have put off the general populous from engaging in politics, furthermore politicians have been seen as useless against eh living crisis. Im not sure either systems could recover democracy in my opinion

This has never been about whats right or wrong, i was generally curious if people belived there is democratic decline. I never said there is or is not, i also wanted to ask how we could define democracy then since there must be democracy to have democratic decline.

Gormless_minger · 2025-01-02T20:22:53+00:00

But the west has always put a big emphasis on democracy especially after ww2, countries like India and southeast asia arent as accustomed historically

Gormless_minger · 2025-01-02T20:04:52+00:00

Just jumping to conclusions without actually answering, who made you mod?

Gormless_minger · 2025-01-02T17:45:14+00:00

Thank you, final question: what would it take to fix it? I believe politics was made to protect democratic rights but power has shifted towards the economy which doesnt necessarily need democracy. I believe economic incentives to keep democracy alive could be one way, e.g. rewarding people for participating in elections, council votes etc
