And that summarises the whole of modern politics. The far-right parties are only interested in promoting the cause of the wealthy. At the end of the day, that is all their agenda about. Everything else – from furore about migration onwards – is about deflecting attention from this fact. And it is working. It seems that almost a third of voters in England – the vast majority of them not well off – are being persuaded to destroy the very system of government that was created to protect their interests, and they are falling for it.
If the people choose to do the things I disapprove of then that’s not democracy.
See?
Far-right is always used as a slur for pretty much anyone who isn’t a card carrying member of the communist party.
Ideas could be a lot further right. Take that famous political slogan “No taxation without representation”. How about a minor modification to “No representation without taxation”?
The Potato supports quite a lot of the ideas of the Soros/WEF crowd. Quite actively so..
That means he’s actively promoting the agenda of the Rich and Wealthy.
Which makes him, by his own logic, Far Right….
See? the horseshoe bends allll the way until the ends touch…
… destroy the very system of government that was created to protect their interests…
Lol. When was the last time a British government, of any party, put the interests of the British people first?
If socialism did what it says on the tin, Wales, Scotland and the northern cities of England would be rich.
No wealth = no employment.
“The voters are complete idiots” nearly always means you don’t get it.
I tend to think the voters don’t pay enough attention, but they aren’t total idiots. They get that they’ve been lied to. The data that is coming out from some sections of government about the value of immigrants now supports this: over their lifetime, they’re going to be a net cost.
And the system we had was created to support the richer end of society. It’s about supporting the Eloi who can fanny around in overstaffed government doing overpaid useless wank (government arts, large parts of education, NHS management, eco) by importing more Morlocks. The existing Morlocks doing care work, cafe work, supermarkets get nothing from this. They get to be worse off.
This is now the biggest single problem facing Britain. Governments of both colours put their thumb on the scale to promote mothers going to work, women having careers. It promotes to middle class women that they can all be aristos. And the problem is that it just doesn’t add up. You can only have half of girls going to university if they’re going to be really serious about work. So they study engineering or economics, and not psychology and sociology. And then put in more than a 9-5. And do a useful job, not some dumb fucking government money bonfire.
It’s why Japan had £32K GDP compared to Britain’s £52K GDP but no-one going to Japan thinks it’s poorer. Money earned doing a pointless job is a +GDP. Then buying a second car so you can get to it? +GDP. Then childcare? +GDP. You could get £50K of GDP out of all of that. But the net to the wife might be £5K. Oh and her husband gets taxed more to pay for her pointless job. So it could be a -ve overall.
I believe that if you got 70% of mothers back at home, the rest would follow. That a lot of the value of work to women today (and I’ve observed how female workplaces behave) is socialisation with other women. That if they have kids and stay home, there’s no-one else to have a chinwag with.
You miss the other attraction of work to wimmins – being able to tell men (skilled people) what to do in your HR or project manager (boss girl) role.
This is now the biggest single problem facing Britain.
You’ll change your mind when the blackouts come.
