Thank you this is hilarious.

No one is sure who said it first – they are hardly fighting over it. Dickens used it, but he died before Twitter, and I am happy for him.

And I can’t really think of a better modern example of dehumanisation than comparing your fellow voter to a pig because you don’t like his politics. For saying this, I will be called a Tory and worse. I’m not. I’m Labour. Compute that, comrades.

Her husband is a Tory. Amazing, no notes.

It reeks of class snobbery too; no wonder it is popular with the socialist bourgeoisie who, like Citizen Kane, talk about the people as if they own them.

porky-scared-flipped: "Mocking bigots back is wrong because bigotry is for poor people. Why do you hate the working class, capitalist snob?"

Do these types even hear themselves? Or is this some weird smart-alecky trolling thing they're doing to fuck with me?

The article she cowrote with her husband is extremely funny. Politics is mostly an aesthetic for her.

I have always loved to talk to Tories because leftists — including myself — scream so much. Andrew says it is a sexual fetish that exposes me as a Tory in denial. I suppose that is possible, but I think it is more likely that I need conflict to feel calm; and, if I cannot shout at people in print, shouting at them — at him — is as good. We almost came to blows over homelessness last month. This aside, I find his conservatism exotic. I love the other detritus of his Toryism; it has a theme-park quality to it. Before I married I had never eaten a home-baked cake, read a parish magazine or shared a pillow with a dog.

We were a red/blue house until Jeremy Corbyn appeared, then we became a yellow/blue house. I am distraught about Labour’s fall into Jew-hatred, but I do not hate Corbyn quite enough to vote Tory. I will not give him the power to make me maim myself. I think about it, and I fantasise about it, but I know I will not be able to do it on the day.

Instead I campaign for the Liberal Democrats, a party I broadly agree with — although I think we should leave the EU, since we voted to, which makes me a pretty weird Liberal Democrat — and hope that it pushes politics somewhere in the direction I would like it to go.

Literally broadcasting the fact that she wishes she could be true to her self and be a chud.

and your precious nazis AREN'T like this? Now that these types have JK Rowling, do they not realize that they're all the fucking Dursleys? Do they REALLY think they can hurl insults at people minding their own business, including mocking their political rivals with all sorts of mean pot shots, and not get an ounce of it in retaliation?

"You might have thought I was a useless neoliberal dumbfuck but actually I'm labor, checkmate commies"

Not the own they think it is

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
