It's kind of wild watching libs in the west go full on fascist in such a short amount of time.

It's bad, folks. Not unexpected, but still really fucking bad.

We might actually get to Children of Men before 2026 (when the movie takes place). It’s incredible how that movie was made in 2006 but is so on the nose as to where things have gone, had to have been made by a time traveler.

And the moment Labour looks even a little bit more progressive, bam! Psyops media campaign!

We are trapped in class warfare and democratic means of escape have been removed.

Side note: had the sudden realisation that Corbyn is the first person I can remember that was directly discredited because they must be "hamas".

A lot of people are turning against them, but there is also the big problem that they keep winning. A few years back when at least vaguely left populism was on the march, you had Sanders in the US, Corbyn in the UK, the Australian Labor Party at that time was taking an unusually left wing platform to elections there, in Europe you had thoe parties like Podemos and whatever those sell outs in Greece are called. And not only did they all lose, but the recalibration towards hardcore third way neoliberalism in the aftermath was very successful. Biden won, UK Labour will win, the ALP was elected in Aus after swinging back to right wing politics. Definitely agree that soc-Dems are the biggest hurdle to rational policy in the West, but things will have to get a lot worse before we fall out of this pattern
