@SebMilbank I look the Mussulman in the eye and treat him as a gentleman.

Hazlitt describes it being so frustrating to listen to (the wrong sort of) egotist as they just tell "the same insipid story of self over again".

@wil_da_beast630 If the gym was only for under 18s then this wouldn't be a ridiculous idea at all. Sport for children is stratified by age, just in slightly larger layers than education is.

@Paul_Heron_ Of course Anderson was more interested in how material reality shapes imagined reality, while I imagine this is more focused on the reverse.

[Rt Hon Fungus B. III, Esq. @JJTweets6]

@Paul_Heron_ Calls Benedict Anderson to mind.

Frankenstein by the New York Dies sounds like an early Nick Cave song. Like something off From Her to Eternity.

Makes you realise how close to camp nick was sailing.

@ArtemisConsort Bizarre lack of imagination on your part. All it takes is one strong personal connection to an immigrant, whose life could be upended by an anti-immigration party gaining power or anti-immigration sentiment becoming culturally mainstream.

@SebMilbank I don't think this is the whole explanation at all, but a factor is how many millennials came of age when Iraq was the defining political issue.

All the rhetoric of anti-Iraq, about American imperialism, civilian casualties accepted because of racism, etc., can be inherited

@martinmrmar London was full of actual slums in Wordsworth's time, and it barely has any now. Complete inversion of the truth.

@curtis_yarvin What do you think "sovereignty of parliament" means?

[Rt Hon Fungus B. III, Esq. @JJTweets6]

@curtis_yarvin Yeah genius the higher power is called the labour party.

[Rt Hon Fungus B. III, Esq. @JJTweets6]

@yuanyi_z It is escapism of a sort!

With a century's hindsight wokeness might seem beautiful. Sons driven mad by the sins of their fathers.

Pictures of pakistani cab drivers at prayer next to much more scruffily dressed 2070s rape gangs with aged zoomers saying "back when gangsters had class!!!!"

[Rt Hon Fungus B. III, Esq. @JJTweets6]

I wonder if we'll sort our act out, arrest and break up the pakistani rape gangs, then in 50 years get a godfather style elegaic romanticisation of them on screen.

[Rt Hon Fungus B. III, Esq. @JJTweets6]

@Paul_Heron_ I'll take it

[Rt Hon Fungus B. III, Esq. @JJTweets6]

@wil_da_beast630 Really frustrating from the people who've made a political identity over their right to carry on about sensitive topics with an irreverent tone.

[Rt Hon Fungus B. III, Esq. @JJTweets6]

@wil_da_beast630 "She's laughing at the girls" when she's actually laughing at *the report* reminds me of conflation of criticism of wokery with racism.

"You're mocking this specific political project" becoming "you're mocking the people it purports to help", with melodramatic sanctimonious tone
