@moonrabbit I meant the wider commentariat really - all those stupid centrist placeholders who delight in kicking the left while enabling fascism.
Burnham bump my arse.
@MiaMarkTwo
kind of, so did i: in the media anyway. i'm wondering at this point how many of them are shilling for the same flag(s). although maybe that's giving them too much credit and they are just ignorant, petty centrists.but it's new new new labour! it's got to be good!!

The Ugly Shithole of AmeriKKKa is no longer a DEMOCRACY.
merriKKKans dont seem to realize this and I fear that when they finally do, it will be too late.
meriKKkans elected and are currently supporting an AUTHORITARIAN PRESIDENT.
The Ugly Shithole of AmeriKKKa has become an AUTOCRACY joining the ranks of North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Iran and China.
MeriKKKa winning!

There are no multi party politics any more, just different flavours of the same narrative.

A. You are absolutely correct.
B. If you go to the court and protest this nonsense, you will likely be arrested and probably sentenced as a 'terrorist'.
C. We (UK, sorry) no longer actually have a rational legal system, unless you're a rich person.
D. We are not yet as bad as the USA. Thank feck. -

@moonrabbit Here’s the wide angle view tho: the pendulum always swings back and forth. I don’t think I expected when I was younger that it would swing this far to the right again, but otoh, those who experienced “OG fascism” are almost all dead so it kinda makes sense.
It’s just jarring (okay, that too, way of an understatement) to be on the losing side of this. And also, I think, the feeling of unfairness cuz the baddies are winning. That’s not how the world is supposed to work! But – as the world is demonstrating to us right now – we are somebody’s baddies.

@moonrabbit yes, it's absurd. I agree that absurd isn't a strong enough word but I don't know a word that concerts what it is.

If I understood right, and as Gramsci said, the word is hegemony.

@moonrabbit It seems the protesters were bussed in from a nearby village where they parked their cars. A local took all the car numbers and provided them to the police. But great to see Robinson supporters wearing burkas.
