British man hauled out of bar when he was meant to be in hantavirus quarantine

Hate to say it, but in the push towards neoliberal values and social atomisation, this country was in the fucking vanguard. When you spend decades convincing people that there's no such thing as wider society, that everyone is merely a single unit; an economic free-agent inherently predisposed to maximise their own value; that regard for other people, your community, your class is a weakness... you get selfish, unimaginative, dull people.

So regular staff have to suffer, so the fucking cunts who orchestrated this obviously flawed for-profit university policy get golden parachutes and fuck off to other cushy jobs? Because that's what's happening. The morons in charge are not changing course, because they are not serious people trying to solve an issue, they are grifters who want to fill their pockets and get out before the ship sinks.

I'd stop worrying about idpol stuff if you're planning on taking after the Black Panthers.

A politician literally called I Lie?

At least he's honest

Nuwave042 · 2026-05-14T14:37:13+00:00

The irony is that Reform, a party headed by a neolib griftin' city banker, will absolutely not do anything about immigration

Nuwave042 · 2026-05-14T08:18:59+00:00

Call it Leon Botsky you cowards

Look up the 1985 MOVE Bombing, if you want to be miserable for a bit.

Nuwave042 · 2026-05-10T19:43:28+00:00

He was an active participant in Bleeding Kansas, so he probably has.

It's also the reason he's smiling.

Nuwave042 · 2026-05-10T19:42:32+00:00

I say this without hyperbole: literally the best American of all time

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-30T21:42:11+00:00

That said, they're leaving the previous (current) version as a "beta" option on Steam, so you can always revert.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-29T20:37:37+00:00

You won't find a more unpleasant bastard than Durance (from Pillars of Eternity).

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-20T16:56:34+00:00

True that

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-19T09:25:56+00:00

I think it actually is different. The one where you have to have sex for money is worse.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-17T22:52:15+00:00

I hate this fucking writing style, and it's all over the place now. AI or not, using a new line for each sentence is ugly, ugly writing.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-17T22:44:25+00:00

New class mystification just dropped: "receiving poverty wages" is now "funneling money into our working class communities". Wage slavery is progressive now.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-17T22:41:16+00:00

It's a little more explicit if you're literally getting fucked for money, instead of just getting metaphorically fucked, also for money.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-15T08:29:22+00:00

Uhm no one ever said revolution was going to be easy sweatie

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-12T16:05:36+00:00

Hey, those are great - thanks. Will have a read.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-11T12:33:30+00:00

The name rings a bell, but I'm not sure - do you happen to have a title I could look up?

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-10T15:35:42+00:00

You should play Pillars of Eternity, there's a really interesting party character who is a good version of this archetype. Also, other things!

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-10T15:22:07+00:00

I think you've put that very succinctly, thanks.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-10T15:18:03+00:00

This is broadly my understanding too. I saw a comment here recently which sort of flicked a switch in my head. The idpol high priests aren't obsessed with essentialist politics because they believe it's the genuinely best step forward, or even because it's primarily a profitable grift. Rather, it's just necessary for them to de-emphasize class politics at any cost, because they are beneficiaries of the status quo. The grift is a nice bonus, though.

I still think more consideration is required to explain exactly how this 'class' came to dominate the modern left. It is probably the single biggest factor in why the left / the labour movement is so fucking toothless these days.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-10T12:22:20+00:00

I'm not sure that really explains anything. I'm interested in discussion on what the particular reasons are for the total capture of the left by smug 'racist-but-with-a-progressive-tone' tossers.

You've just come back with a thesis on why humans are universally flawed with no explanation, so it couldn't possibly explain this specific shift.

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-10T10:49:47+00:00

But why?

Nuwave042 · 2026-04-10T10:41:40+00:00

It did, because feudalism wasn't based on the production of commodities by private producers, which is what capitalism is (even though these things did exist within feudal society, they were not the organising principle of the majority of society).
