seriously I'm struggling here. I currently read NY Times and BBC with a very critical eye but it's fucking exhausting.

    Right, I could totally see The Guardian lapping up that anti-semitism nonsense, of course. Fuck, I can't believe that shit. How is the UK so based as to have Labour, and yet so shitty as to fall for something like that, smh

    Dominic Raab Reduced to the Lowest Common Denominator of Stupidity

      How is the UK so based as to have Labour

      UK's Labour party is anything but based. They have "elected" a pro-austerity neocon nobleman that was a member of the Trilateral Commission as party leader. They're literally doing the same playbook the US is with the dems: when the current conservatives fuck everything up, it will naturally make voters gravitate towards the other, more competent conservatives. That is how politics works, I'm told.

        I see a major political party that identifies as demsoc and socdem, and claims to aim to socialize the entire economy, I’m gonna call it based.

        I will admit to knowing little-to-none about UK politics tho, haha, and I’m not at all surprised they’re overrun by neocons. Looking a little closer, I see they’ve largely abandoned the aim to nationalize the economy. Fuckin’ Blairites.
