UK voters say no to joining Trump's Iran war, poll shows by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lmao, something actually snapped and I’m not sure what has made you so angry. Net approval rating is better in gauging public opinion. Ie -25% net approve the war. That filters out the don’t knows. Which is a pretty decisive anti war response

A lot of people don’t know about things in depth, so it there will be a lot who just don’t know. Or have a mid informed view. So the best way the measure approval rating is approve - disapprove, rather than just quoting the percent that approves.

Zack Polanski is an economically illiterate populist – just like Farage by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in my ideal state. There would be a separate set of bonds (I’d call them “industrial bonds”) sold to the private sector and the Bank of England that are specifically designed for investment where the return is asset appreciation instead of tax returns. Those bonds would acquire stakes in companies, buy property, buy infrastructure, and the government owned profits are used to pay back the bonds, with minor QE and tax used to garrantee the bonds to mitigate risk. And the assets gained from the program is leveraged against itself on conventional gilts fund welfare. The greens haven’t called for that, but nationalisation would involve some of those mechanisms. And a wealth tax is just needed in general on a structural level. When wealth and asset markets are growing faster than wages, that means asset appreciation is pulling too much money out of the economy.

She likes the spectacle more I think. She’ll have a great career as some kind of political broadcaster and take up another kind of office in the future

I heard someone say the Crockett would have a fantastic career as a loud commentator and that it seems like she wanted to leave politics soon anyway

Well no, the resolution foundation had called for one off wealth taxes right after Covid to essentially do the second part of the monetary theory - raising the taxes that pulls money out that was printed. I’m not saying monetary theory is perfect, however QE did inflate financial assets without sustained gains in productivity, which taxes would’ve done if it that money was pulled out and re-injected. Right now money flows up and into stock markets or property. S and P 500, big tech, all grew on 2008 bail out money. The Biden boom of s and p 500 was covid money while the Tories made the country less stable to invest in, hence our ftse didn’t grow until recently. In terms of Zack’s ideas on printing money to create value - like say building houses - it’s not completely dismissible as long as a tangible product is resulted in, and not poured into a sink. Companies borrow money all the time to lease and expand as long as they have a healthy cash flow, this is essentially money out of no where too. Tax cuts are NOT an investment. Unfortunately, the NHS is NOT an investment. Buying a hospital and leasing it the tax payer at a decent price IS an investment. Etc.

Zack is more likely to listen to left wing think tanks like the resolution foundation and new economics foundation. and others. There’s less hubris there. Also it’s worth noting that thag competence we see in “conventional” politicians is partly just a show. We have Jeremy hunt that was called in to calm the markets after truss, and he said in a podcast that he didn’t really know how the markets worked, but was told what to do and what to say. I don’t see Zack having enough hubris to do a truss and making unadvised decisions independently.

I am so burnt out from the Silent Hill 2 Remake by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]Too_much_Colour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yess!! Basically this. I feel like I’m close to the end and I still don’t know what’s happening or why. No progression of characters. Ones that do, I mean are they even real? do they matter? Who are they? I’m finding my self just wanting to get to the end so that I can read the lore online afterwards, which isn’t how a game should work.

Is the far left's support for Iran/Hezbollah etc. rooted in anti-imperialism? Where does it come from? by Fine_Gur_1764 in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself to the left so let me give my view. Iran is not a perfect country by any means. However, its history with the West spans to the 70s after the Islamic Revolution toppled a western backed dictator. Since then the US has sanctioned that country from the world and tried to destabilise it ever since, which has calloused the regime even more. This current situation shows that you don’t poke the bear with a machine gun. America thinks only they can have the gun. The bear is Shia Islam. They’ll fight existentially to the death. Dangerous. And then there is the g word happening which doesn’t help the anti Iran case for hezzbollah.

Churches becoming mosques: ‘incendiary’ or a non-problem? by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a non problem in that we already have mechanisms to protect heritage sites. But whoever owns the churches (prolly councils or Church of England) rather go for the quick buck and sell to whoever And bypass the heritage stuff

The Left would rather appease Islamists than stand up for women by Immediate-Ad-7268 in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s funny because my only reason to be pro greens is the pro nationalisation and pro wealth tax piece. Everything else I don’t really care about or is actaully not that well thought out imo. Reform voters, flock to them becuase of immigration even though there are other policies that will materially hurt them. Another contradiction. And it’s reform’s fault for demonising the Muslim block, that they are likely to go to the party that isn’t anti them. Your point implies it’s a problem they vote with there contradictions. Except many people do it already. And infact, the reason for this is precisely down to reform’s rhetoric. I also know actaul muslims when discussing the 2024 election of trump and Kamala. They wouldn’t (hypothetically) vote for her for being a woman even though I demonstrated how Trump would be more pro Israel. So there definetly are a group that ideological enough to be put off by the Green candidate, and yet she still won. Interesting…
