@Sorenova Based on their progress so far, they'll look very slightly better than Starfield

@NikoOneTwo @GirkinGirkin It's the reality, and you're embarrassing yourself trying to deny it.

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@NikoOneTwo @GirkinGirkin They got humiliated by one of the poorest countries in Europe fighting them overwhelmingly with insufficient and outdated equipment

This is a generational humiliation for Russia and their military

@Alphalummel @SpaghettiKozak @FloofskanZhit "Class consciousness" is when you... oppose people defending themselves against fascist invaders?

This is getting hard to follow.

@tomfgoodwin House-sharing sucks, and it's a reality in the UK because it has both a fucked housing market, and it specifically makes it difficult to build small flats.

@NatTurnerBuddha @progresionalis @envisionedluna No, you just had a little lapse in reading comprehension.

Socialist and socdem parties in Europe knew they would be attacked as weakening the civic society and unpatriotic. They have marketed themselves accordingly, and were successful as a result.

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@NatTurnerBuddha @progresionalis @envisionedluna No, it wasn't their main identity, but they anticipated criticism of socialism and social democracy as subversive and unpatriotic.

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@NatTurnerBuddha @progresionalis @envisionedluna No, if you look back at the history of successful social democratic parties in Europe, they overwhelmingly took care to brand themselves as patriotic and civic-minded.

They did not win elections on some vaguely-anarchic vibes and *then* build a welfare state.

@Daniel86Cycles @Elarbolpine @RepealTCPA1947 @nikicaga Dividing the household income by 2 to arrive at individual income is some real hack shit

@WateryLn @DuncanStott £15/hour is more of a starting apprentice wage. Average is closer to ~£18 - 20/hour, with up to ~£32/hour overtime.

Obviously the salary itself is only part of a cost of employing someone, too.

@aaronpalmer @bookkeepPLUS @JayinKyiv Of course independent outlets were then excluded from this funding. Then there's the "5 minute rule" and blocking independent journalists from government press conferences.

KESMA is the key piece, since it absolutely decimated free press.

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@aaronpalmer @bookkeepPLUS @JayinKyiv Doubtful? You think being able to say "they are limiting my access!" on Twitter is better than being able to appear on TV?

Consider this: withdrawing license from Klubrádió, consolidating, consolidating over 500 outlets via KESMA, 80% ad revenue coming from government ads

@aegedward9684 @CherryBomb_Kiko The other members, like Vietnam itself, cared nothing about the "genocidal hellhole" - Kapmuchea simply initiated hostilities against Vietnam, despite the fact Pol Pot's rise was entirely dependent on Vietnamese support.

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@aaronpalmer @bookkeepPLUS @JayinKyiv So you think a politician running for office just chose to never appear on TV?

And not the much more logical explanation: that he was forbidden from doing so, and the state-controlled media simply lied about inviting him?

You're pretty gullible.

@trevorbay12 @JChapman1729 @iealondon Defence from what? The US is the only country to invoke NATO's article 5. The US is not a real ally.

@Friedmanzone @mattyglesias I'm not sure why you would look at UK's house building "routine" and conclude that's the way to go. The country's housing policy has been a failure for nearly a century now.

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@Friedmanzone @mattyglesias And the people who remain where they are will be the ones who mostly benefit from the presence of existing GPs. Should they be taxed a levy to support their local GP?

And no, the latter does not make sense. It would massively slow and reduce development, in a housing crisis.

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@CentristDad5 @mattyglesias What even are Tories now? Do they even have a platform?

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@Friedmanzone @mattyglesias Why should the burden of funding healthcare be passed onto buyers of new homes?

[Cadoc @TheCadoc]

@BoredAtWorf @Kingfan5151 @joewrote He is a symptom of why they don't win - they don't want to win, they want to be the permanent opposition.
