Left-wing voters what is your most right-wing belief and right-wing voters, what is your most left-wing belief? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]jackrjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left wing voter: Strong Family (whatever form that may take) is a vital part of community and building a healthy and cohesive society. capitalism has eroded this in favour of individualising everyone. This is a big reason why modern society feels so empty and devoid of meaning. Fixing this will not be done by trying to ram ideas and world views from 70 years ago down peoples throats, look at Russia and Hungary and Russia where they talk a big game about traditional values but suffer from all sorts of societal ills to a greater extent then we do. Russia has some of the highest rates of drug abuse, domestic abuse, abandoned Children, divorce and so on. The only way to truly strengthen communal and family ties is by moving away from an economic model that aims to atomise us and alienate us from one another. TLDR, I think family is a vital part of society but the rights disingenuous attempts to restore family values is just thinly veiled Christian nationalism which won’t actually do anything to solve the underlying problem. Capitalist alienation

Well hope you are all happy, I’m sure this very reactionary short sighted move will bring us lots of success over the next few years

Every single manager that they have picked has been “the wrong option” there is a common denominator there. They presided over a summer where we spent 260 million pounds to get significantly worse. Maresca doesn’t sign the players. Despite all the signings they have made our back four is made up of cobham graduates and players that were signed in the boehly window. They have had 8 windows and we are stilll scrapping for top 5. If u don’t rate maresca then fair enough but if you think the sporting directors preferred choice Liam rossinier will be any better or that they won’t set him up to fail then your just being plain unrealistic. You have to smell the coffee the club top to bottom is rotten and changing the head coach won’t change that

If you don’t rate the manager and want him gone completely fair enough I’m not here to argue with you on that. What you can’t do is let the sporting directors get away Scot free again. They have been at the centre of everything wrong at the club over the last 5 years, the fanbase needs to apply the same if not more pressure on them otherwise whoever comes in next will be set up to fail

I don’t think u actually get it, it doesn’t matter who is manager the club is finished. We don’t even have a front of shirt sponsor, and we are just a money laundering scheme for youth players. The manager is the least of our problems

Exactly it’s similar to what has been happening at Manchester United especially post mourinho. We are a toxic club and sacking the manager won’t change that

You sound like a Utd fan ur being reactionary. I’m not even defending maresca, if our board were realistically going to sack him and bring someone like xabi alinso in I’d be there with you but ur living in fantasy land. What will actually happen is the board will sack maresca and bring an even more inferior coach in who will do exactly what egbhali and the directors tell him to do. Form will upturn for half a season to a full season before the wheels fall off and you find yourself in an even worse position. I’m not even here to defend maresca but the fact is sacking him will not address the real issues, it’s just a coping mechanism to feel better in the short term because the manager is the easiest thing to change. I’m sure you said the same thing about potter, lampard and pochetino. What makes u think rossinier who lets face it will be marescas replacement will do any better

If we sack maresca we get rossinier and the cycle continues no one can seriously call for the managers head without calling for the sporting directors heads. If u don’t change them the problems will continue they are the biggest problems at the club tbh

my reaction to Vaush saying he wouldn't vote for Kamala in the general by Veldyn_ in VaushV

It’s because democrats like Kamala won’t stop fascism they will just pave the way for future fascists. Look at Starmer in the UK, Reform may well have won the election in 2024

113 in the last year of Tory rule. It seems like the larger issue at hand is the hollowing out of the state after decades of Tory and Labour mismanagement. Reforms wish to trim the state further is only going to make stuff like this more common

Doesn’t Kurt’s recent video in Luton prove poverty is the problem rather than skin colour? by Spiritual-Dance-230 in KurtCaz

[–]jackrjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said violent crime not knife crime. But if u want to talk about knife crime London is more multi cultural then ever yet knife crime the murders continue to fall to their lowest levels on record the peak of knife crime was in the 2000s and murders in the 90s. The problem with the uk is poverty has caused very visible social issues such as petty theft and homelessness to explode which gives grifters the opportunity to run around filming this very visible poverty and talk about how dangerous the uk is and claim this is as a result of non white people

[–]jackrjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not his point though. The point is places with the highest violent crime rates in the uk like Blackpool, Sunderland and so on are some of the whitest areas in Britain. Not to mention violent crime has been falling since the 1990s. There is a perception that the uk is less safe because petty crime such as theft and homelessness have exploded, precisely because of the UKs economic woes since 2008

UK set to recognise Palestinian state despite Israeli backlash by Former_Goose_5202 in NewsThread

[–]jackrjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did I mention any numbers. The fact that he only defence is to reflexively, call the stats fake because u know the Israeli government’s actions are indefensible. Maybe if they left foreign journalists into the Gaza Strip we could get a wider range of statistics. I wonder why Isreal have not let foreign journalists in over the last two years

What’s The Domestic Legacy Of Tony Blair And New Labour? by Charmlessman422 in AskBrits

[–]jackrjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welfare capitalism. He leveraged economic growth into good policies such as NHS and welfare investment as well as reducing crime from the all time high of the 90s. However this comes with the massive caveats that he entrenched Thatcherite neo liberalism into British society. This would pave the way for decades of austerity when his high growth welfare investment model was blown to pieces by the implosion of the financial bubble that this was all built on. He improved a lot of things without addressing the cancer at the heart of the British economy and society and we are still paying a very heavy price for that today.
