please temp-ban Mordy from the Thatcher Is Dead thread

nah it's cool. frogbs is my bro.

brogsf

mordy's keyboard dusted for frog prints

all of this is full-on amazing

a day that will live in infamy

Legacy costs

of all the clusterfucks i've participated in on ilx, this must be one of the least clusterfucky i think

aside from the vicious anti-semitism obv

lol darragh

nakh shared this quote w/ me about thatcher:

There had never been a cabinet with so many Jewish men - me, Michael Howard, Leon Brittan. I wondered why, and the conclusion I came to is not that she had a thing for Jews, but that she was one of those rare politicians without the faintest whiff of antisemitism.

Nakh being in Thatcher's cabinet does explain a lot

and i think , tbh, that the majority of the anti-thatcher sentiment on ilx might well have its root there as opposed to the policies that so many of them apologise for under nu-labour

Well you're the expert on British politics after all

i've got critical distance tbftm

Nowhere near enough distance if you ask me

jealous cos we managed the break in 1921 imo

You'd never guess

well we have a functioning labour party, it's true

we don't need to persistently sacrifice our butt comfort in the protection of a fake one, like

Guys, u r playing right into her trap

forks, how many SBs do i have???

OBJECTION YOUR HONOUR, the correct term is FPs

About 30

sustained, may counsel please reframe the question

Trolls be biting

30 isn't so bad actually

i may have to pace myself tho. i don't want to get banned this year.

is anyone willing to pick up the slack?

It was a decent effort mordy, you may have screwed up the landing but you stepped up and that's what counts

nah, i stuck that landing

gdamn ilx has gotten soft

maybe my left foot dragged a bit

wtf is even going on itt anymore i am going to troll it why dont britishes have any self respect is scotland the same thing as wales and irleand they are all part of england right

ya my understanding is that they all used to live together but then the land masses drifted and they were separated

i kinda hate how some ppl try to roll anti-capitalism into any discussion of anti-racism/feminism/etc. like obvs things ~interact~ and are not completely independent but your successor socialist utopia is still gonna be racist af if it just assumes that once we pull out the jenga piece of the profit motive all other oppressions will just fade away

the good thing about anti-capitalism is that [almost] everyone has a personal stake in it as a system. for the vast majority of ppl any given identity politics is not to have a personal stake for them, at best they can be allies.

is not going* to have

IDK man anti-capitalism is like anti-whiteness by default because of who benefits the most from capitalism, glad to hear you are anti-white ppl Mordy =)

~intersectional namaste~

well i'm certainly not pro white ppl! fuck those guys imo.

but the pt is that even among WHITEZ, the vast majority do not benefit from capitalism

it's funny how you start having a discussion about whatever and before you know you're having theoretical debates about the priority of capitalism. it's not so much that anyone needs but it's already there and at work.

ppl are most smug about how capitalism is bad out of all the leftist twitter topics, like they have discovered a most beautiful secret, the thing they neglect to mention is that other things are bad too

xps ha left out the key word, "it's not that anyone needs theory..."

this is exactly why black liberation politics and particularly the anticapitalism of the panthers & APOC groups is so essential to any useful analysis i think

imo the left will never obtain self knowledge until it faces the fact that socialism is the most #actually form of government ever theorized

lol

also that cries for justice are often just another way of expressing an affront to ones sensibilities

'there is no such thing as society' after all
