@FUDdaily This is why P Hitchens opposed Brexit despite long arguing for withdrawal. With no plan in place and no party that wanted it, what inevitably happened should have been clear from the start. The incompetence sullied the entire enterprise of withdrawal and left voters remorseful.
@mariotomich Assuming he’s a beginner workout hard and eat at maintainence. He can do a decent cut after some muscle, which shouldn’t take too much effort
@katakana_kurisu@mrjeffu Possibly! But they don’t seem to stay? I’m looking through his tweets and can’t see any. The cynical side of me thinks these accounts are overlooked because Elon agrees with the messaging.
@writerofscratch Kier Starmer is principally on the left. His recent lurches to the right have been forced due to overwhelming public dissatisfaction and pressure to act tough on immigration.
@YamagamiShingo If leadership is tied to fleeting popularity, how can lasting reforms ever take root? A system built on approval ratings breeds only deadlock and a revolving door of PMs. Japanese politics seems increasingly dysfunctional.
@OdaTiddies@__cousin__@OGBlackRedGuard In the UK we’re scolded for leaning in school, so a lot of people stop doing it by the time they’re adults. It’s considered sloppy and childish. Nothing to do with conformity.
@TharriesYT I don’t think so. Britain just so happened to be on the winning side of the most consequential war in modern history. WW2 is taught just as heavily in Irish curriculums, for instance.
@AcademicAgent_X The complex evolution of British democracy is something I think is greatly overlooked. Young ppl have no clue how our institutions developed. It could have prevented costly foreign adventures that aimed to impose it overnight. Instead we study 100 years of UUSR’s foreign policy..
@Chris_arnade Agreed. I don’t think it’s particularly helpful to call them ‘poor’ either. If they truly were poor countries, I doubt they’d spend so much time pouring scorn on them with the kind of contemptuous mockery they often direct at the EU or Japan.
@OGRolandRat “The idea of a cynical businessman indulging in populist spectacle I have always been against. Are we certain that this is indeed driven by a conservative impulse? It wasn’t promised in any party manifesto, but instead by crude Twitter plebiscite under the guise of cost cutting”
