Quite a phenomenal campaign ad from the Greens down in England.

@petealexharris @LaChasseuse in the past, yes. Now, it appears the tables have turned and Labour are currently devolving more power to the civil service.
@EF @LaChasseuse
I know people who work in the civil service, and all I can say is that is not what's happening as far as they can tell.But even if it was, instead of Labour you could vote for a party with progressive policy goals, who would have the civil service implement them, just as previous governments have done with disastrously regressive policies.
I don't think anyone praising this video is planning to vote Labour.

@LaChasseuse this message would resonate in Australia. #auspol

@LaChasseuse@mastodon.scot Better not *running* this message, but walk it ツ

@petealexharris @LaChasseuse am watching my industry get ripped apart by the DfT and the politicans spouting rhetoric claiming the inverse of reality and legislating on those statements. Many many people in the civil service are no doubt trying to make a positive difference but there are some forcing direction for "reasons" that are not always [sic] in the population's best interests.
For the record, I did not and will not vote red or blue.

@LaChasseuse Hello Englands Green Party. I have a request.
Swedens Green Party kind of fell asleep during math class (a bit over a decade ago). Would it be alright if they copied your notes?

@LaChasseuse It seems, that those things are going wrong in every country! Not only here in Germany...
And those super rich still haven't enough money? That's ridiculous! -

@LaChasseuse That's how to do it! More like this please! Plus a little more on how to make hope normal again. Time to acknowledge that #neoliberalism is toxic for everyone aside from those who already have more money than they need.

@LaChasseuse @_elena a bit naive to think this (otherwise nice) messaging will yield any results. It'll take a bigger reset button to sort things than simply voting one way or another. If anything people will vote for Farage and he sure will make GB "great again".

We need more than messages, other partys have broken most election promises.
Greens must stay firm in all respects or fail.

Frei nach Horkheimer: aus der Betrachtung der Zustände, folgen Analyse, Erkenntnis und dann Praxis.
BTW: Sitze gerade in Addis Abeba und schreibe mit Euch über Horkheimer. Hätte er sich vermutlich so auch nicht gedacht.

@petealexharris @EF @LaChasseuse Also, as someone who worked in and around politics before jumping to the grassroots side of things?
A thing people weirdly forget about politicians is that they're human beings with subjectivities, blind spots, and just personal limits. They flinch, they sometimes panic, they take shortcuts, they have really normal, run-of-the-mill human failure modes. It's really less frequent that someone is a puppet to a sinister master, and much more common that they're not playing to their strengths on something and bottled it.
@leahbobet @petealexharris @EF @LaChasseuse
Agreed. As someone who has worked closely with politicians, they are normal humans with normal human emotions.
We're seeing a rash of harassment towards Edmonton councillors, and I've also been personally targeted by disgruntled constituents. Without getting into specifics, my partner and I were enjoying dinner at a restaurant earlier this year and realized we were being watched.
I was just a staffer.

@LaChasseuse It has a Zohran mamdani vibe. Not a bad thing at all
-
@LaChasseuse problem is the politicians are puppets of the civil service and the rich. Labour promised a lot and have delivered the opposite.
@EF The Greens are not puppets.

Zack Polanski speaking in the video talks about the work and commitment of ordinary people to this cause. As he does so, he runs faster and faster, with the camera repeatedly focusing on his trainers. He runs through scenes of an English town and eventually, unable to run any faster, he stops and says that we need this reset. He then explains how.
