Shame Kirst seems to be a bit of a dick

Novoselic describes himself as an “anarcho-capitalist socialist moderate I-don't know”. He has campaigned for political reform. In the 2016 election, he supported Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson

Well, what I seen this image as was the classic divide and conquer strategy of the capitalist classes against the working class and/or arbitrary race category to enable them to control and/or murder at will.

However, this image is actually a complete gas lighting exercise in using toxic characteristics from capitalism to describe communism. I didn't notice the hammer and sickle, which to be fair makes no fucking sense...

The relevance to the above post was really trying to play on

"The Production of too many useful things results in too many useless people"

which I take as a satirical poke at the deficiencies of capitalism, although it's of unknown origin as far as I know..

If automation does reach a point where labour isn't needed, then it may well encourage the likes of Murdoch et al to intensify the encouragement of class war.

Sorry, I clearly don't pay enough attention to the shit I post :(

You mentioned Cameron seeming to be a bit limp in opposing it and actually campaigning on it originally. Some interesting context

When in fact it wasn't fine, it's just a bigots fever dream

9% say it has benefited the NHS

Are 9% of the UK shareholders of plantir or something? Cunts!

Is it the fault of the people being manipulated, rather than of those doing the manipulating? Fuck no.

Fair point, but there does seem to be plenty who do seem like they should have the capacity to understand, but choose not to.

And as you alluded to, lets not pretend Labour gives a shit about disabled people either (nor that this problem is somehow unique to the UK), so it's not like we have anyone to vote for who will not fuck us over.

True, although if enough people understood they were being fucked, things could change. Like if the Murdoch rags told them (sorry, I'm miserable facetious cunt)

Yeah this is just the first step in removing state support for disabled people. Everything these evil cunts have done from the beginning has been so fucking obvious.

The big society, where private individuals would contribute to things like food banks, while they gut state support. Reducing support for GP practices while incentivising fully private practices to be set up, handing contracts to big American healthcare/insurance companies.

How is this not obvious to people in the UK, or do they know and want the UK to turn into a hellhole?

E: seems the council is about half and half for conservative and labour members, but labour are now just Tories so probably not worth checking...

The age of consent is 16 in the UK, Saville was also a necrophiliac, and that access to hospitals was used for that, so maybe the BBC seen this as pretty tame...
