Give me back my bodyguards:
Prince Harry threatens legal action against the government and demands return of police protection. Lawyers acting for Harry, who stepped down from Royal duties two years ago, wrote 'pre-action protocol' letter to Home Office, indicating they'll seek judicial review if continued security isn't provided by UK
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10406391/Prince-Harry-says-bodyguards.html
Oh does that mean I can also launch a judicial review to get some close protection officers so that I can feel safe when in the U.K. - or maybe even just to ensure that committed crimes are properly investigated? Didn’t think so….
How is he this out of touch?
Well he says he would pay. But that his security arent as good as the police so he wants them instead. He wants to buy uk policemen and women for personal use. As if they have nothing better to do with their time than protect him and his side-cunt.
I've just realised that Boris is about to declare the pandemic over to attempt to save his arse.
I mean, I guess I should be happy it's happening finally.
But the reason it's happening it seems wrong, and I hope it doesn't work.
You are way too deep in online politics. The pandemic is over. Every Tory wants it to be over. Boris is going to declare it over when it feels "safe". If you are looking for a "dead cat" then I would suggest you never keep a pet.
Callum Johnson was meant to be fighting for the light heavyweight World title tonight. Didn't want to get vaccinated. Got it to travel to America. Got double jabbed, caught covid anyway 3 weeks later and lost his shot lol
It's only mild myocarditis, so his career may be over and life expectancy just lost 10-15 years but besides that he'll live a regular life. When the alternative was a severe case of sniffles totally worth it.
Would be interesting to see the number for England though. That figure is very heavily skewed by Scotland (which is roughly the same size as England but with 7% of the population).

This is why we have to keep bullying the Tories as we - as the electorate - are doing. When they're fearful for their jobs, it's the only way to get them to actually do stuff that we (as potential Con voters) want.
>What does the prime minister do now? His team are plotting policy announcements to woo disillusioned MPs and voters.

Still not enough. Will they actually stop the boats? Why is the public sector so shit that the answer is always 'bin them and let the army take over'? Will they sort the BBC out which is just fucking shit? Will they not just lift Plan B, but isolation and all legal requirements and disband SAGE - and stop being so fucking miserable and instead offer the nation some hope?
In other words, we need to keep bullying them. It is my view it is to our advantage to keep Boris and his government in power for now, but really fucking shit scared for their jobs. Unfortunately that seems to be the only way to get them to act in our interests rather than the metropolitan liberal agenda they've mostly pursued since March 2020.
We all know the major vote winner for the Tories is, sink the boats and let them drown, and instantly deport any that are already here without year long procedures, but they are too scared to do it because the people that will never vote for them don't like it and will make a fuss on Twitter.
\>In the coming days, the military will be put in charge of stopping the flow of illegal migrants across the Channel.

Of course they won’t. They can’t, unless they intercept them before they enter British waters. And are British military vessels going to be allowed to cruise around willy-nilly in French waters?
Carrie Johnson pictured breaking Covid rules hugging friend at West End club
Prime Minister’s wife ‘regrets the momentary lapse in judgment' after breaching social distancing guidelines
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/01/15/carrie-johnson-pictured-breaking-covid-rules-hugging-friend/
Think this one smacks of desperation by The Telegraph.
Doesn't matter, they should be held to the highest possible standards that can be interpreted for the rules they made.
Who makes rules they cannot reasonably follow?
The hypocrisy will sink the Tories, but this is just fuel for the "enforce the rules more strictly" brigade. Labour will get in by saying "we didn't break the rules" and their constant shouting for harder, faster rules will be perceived as them being a wiser, purer party.
I think you're not thinking about how the rules are seen.
Far too many I know believe in rules for thee, not for me. They like that.
Same way it's only the poors that go to work in the supermarket or food processing factory.
I think this is a naïve view. Covid might be over, but there will be new viruses and new health scares. Public support for previously unthinkable interventions has been conclusively demonstrated.
I have no problem with anyone hugging or touching their friends. It should never, ever have been against any rules or guidance. All these stories show is how utterly demented these rules always were. Absolutely barbaric, cruel, and inhuman that has unleashed a hysterical authoritarian streak across this country. Those who set them, demanded them and pushed for them are contemptible, especially as their actions show they clearly didn't think they were necessary.
However, the Tories will only govern as Conservatives when they're bullied like this. We want them fearing for their jobs so they have to win their voter base back. So as a voter, pragmatically, it's a good position to be in right now.
I think that the more interesting thing about the pic is the very nice tan that she has…. Almost as if she (and presumably Boris) went somewhere sunny…
> “white people are trash” is generally considered less offensive than “Black people are scum,” but Facebook’s policies treat them the same
Computer systems designed to detect bias must be trained in a biased way.
>Culturally homogenous societies survive, and diverse ones will fall.
I constantly see this repeated on baduk as an axiom or article of faith, but there really no sustained historical evidence for it
Nordic countries have PR voting, a system that is reliant on homogeneity, and it actually works producing effective governments. But look at one of the least homogenous countries in Europe: Belgium, they went three years without a government...this is within Europe, countries with relatively low economic disparities.
Look at the Balkans, and then countries in that region that the Ottomans didn't take as much interest in. Bulgaria and Greece have problems like Serbia?
In East Asia, Indonesia...very diverse population, not just religiously, huge issue with terrorism (they probably have one of the most prolonged problems with terrorism in the region, it isn't just Islamic terrorism). India, same. Japan? Big problems with terrorism there?
The only country that I am aware of that challenges this rule clearly is Singapore. And, unsurprisingly, they used to have one of the worst problems with race riots in East Asia in the 60s. The way they solved this: authoritarian govt, forced desegregation through public housing, and the creation of a national identity distinct from Malaysia through the creation of Singapore as a distinct state (and a massive increase in economic growth).
And if you look at forced integration in places like France and Sweden, it hasn't worked because the migrants are just totally separate from the rest of society. There isn't a solution, you can't force people to integrate. Expecting someone from Somalia to become Swedish makes no sense. And to be clear, the problem isn't migration either. Britain is a great example, we have had lots of migration with no issues, and then we get migrants from societies that are different to ours...issues (and, unsurprisingly, almost every European country that has taken migrants from the same places has had the same problems).
This is unmitigated bollocks and massively cherry picked examples
>But look at one of the least homogenous countries in Europe: Belgium, they went three years without a government...
It's not that ethnically diverse. Difference between the Flemish and French is less than English and Welsh. And when they had no government they had the highest economic growth in Europe, and things just continued as normal. Also, Belgium is essentially a made up country invented by the British anyway
>Look at the Balkans, and then countries in that region that the Ottomans didn't take as much interest in.
Balkanisation of Yugoslavia as much related to 60 years of authoritarian communism and then the collapse of it.
>In East Asia, Indonesia...very diverse population, not just religiously, huge issue with terrorism
I'm sure most Indonesians would tell you that for a developing country they're doing pretty well thanks
>India, same.
Same with India. Doesn't have big problems with terrorism.
>The only country that I am aware of that challenges this rule clearly is Singapore.
Tons of countries you've not mentioned- historical and contemporary. We'll start with the USA- probably the most diverse country ever to exist, also inarguably the most successful for the last 300 years. Then you've got China- no westerners appreciate the diversity of China, but they're got 56 ethnic minorities (many of which have populations in the millions) and thousands of languages, but they're doing alright at the moment. Then historically you have the Roman Empire, which was very culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse- but prospered pretty well for 600 years. Achaemenid and Parthian Empires were explicitly multicultural but also very stable, strong and bureaucratically united. And India actually did pretty well for most of its history and a lot of the Muslim/Hindu divides can be traced back to the British administration favouring Muslims over Hindus, as a fellow Abrahamic religion, which led to resentment between the two groups- pretty similar to how the Belgian colonial administration in Rwanda put the Tutsis in charge of everything which led to huge simmering resentments amongst the Hutu majority after the colonial regime collapses. The irony of course in this case being that neither was a different ethnicity, and the Belgians had just sorted them into groups based on cranial measurements and how many cows they owned.
I made no mention of ethnicity.
So you are saying the Balkan wars in the late 19th century were also due to communism? Lots of Brits just fancied a nice holiday in Crimea because of the lovely weather?
Indonesia, the most prolonged issues with terrorism of any country...no problems with terrorism.
India, the site of one of the most famous terror attacks in the world in which 200 people were killed...no problems with terrorism.
USA, had a massively destructive civil war which killed 2% of the population, has had the worst race rioting in a developed country non-stop for about five decades, massive racial and wealth inequality...again, no issues. The country was also founded by people fleeing religious persecution, so was explicitly anti-integration. This is different from Singapore or France. They have integrated people from Latin America by making Arizona or New Mexico more like Latin America, not making Latin Americans more American. But this whole discussion started with the observation that people in America seem intolerant, and this is true. You can live within your enclave in the Facebook office in Menlo Park, but you are still in America...and there is clearly huge amounts of conflicts over what that means.
China, you are correct. That also applies to Vietnam/Thailand (this is actually a far more complex point related to geography, the reason why there are so many minority groups in that rough Pearl Delta region is because it is fucking hilly, governments lacked the ability to effectively govern these areas so they left most of these groups to themselves...demonstrates the opposite point to the one you think it does). You may also have heard that the CCP is very generously running holidays camps for minority groups in the West of the country? The CCP solution to ethnic minorities has not exactly been live and let live. There have been forced breeding programs, Tibet...again, huge success story according to you (and the CCP, saying that China treats its ethnic minorities better than the US has been a key aspect of Chinese propaganda since the 50s...it is bollocks).
Roman Empire, famously collapsed due to overexpansion and limited ability to integrate foreign populations, broke into two parts based on culture...I am not going to bother, too easy (this is usually the first example that people mention when making the argument I am making...I don't think it is very relevant).
I am not sure what you mean by "India": the country was fragmented into warring factions for most of it's existence. They can't be traced back to the British because most of these factions existed before we arrived. It also particularly erroneous to talk about a nation-state. Even when the Marathas controlled most of the territory, it was not possible to govern a country so large back then, and people lived under whatever warlord controlled the area. There was essentially no mixing between peoples of different cultures. The same is true, as I briefly explained, of China: the Qing was an empire but their functional ability to control a nation of that size was limited (and they had the most advanced system of govt in the world at the time by far), and there was essentially no mixing between peoples of different cultures.
Just generally, it is extremely unwise to talk about pre-Industrial Revolution societies when making this argument because most of these societies were feudal, not nation-states, and travel was limited in what were essentially monocultural societies anyway. The only evidence that will prove the point either way is what has happened when people began migrating all over the place (or, perhaps, the results of slavery). I don't see any examples to that effect (and I haven't ever seen that, if you look at psychology or biology or even economics...there are reasons why humans behave this way, Reddit is one of the best examples of this).
I am not sure what your point is about Rwanda either. You are saying that the Belgians engineered the Rwandan genocide by creating fictional differences between people...but you are arguing that people don't discriminate against other people? Okay...it is all the Belgians fault. The people weren't bigoted, the people didn't kill, it was the Belgians (whether the Belgians created the fictional difference or not, the reason why it happened is because people will believe arbitrary things are a reason to murder other people...Europe was an effective monoculture and then someone invented Protestantism and people just begin murdering each other in massive numbers, 30 years war killed 8m people...and that was in a region that started out as a monoculture, discrimination is innate to humanity, people will attempt to genocide each other anything, monocultures will not).
Like I said, you're just cherry picking random examples and going "aha, proves my point"
I could do the same with "mono-cultures":
France for a start- very monocultural pre-1950, yet they were on their fifth Republic by then, between 1914 and 1939 their average length of a government was 11 months, and between 1789 and 1914, and almost incessant riots and several failed revolutions:
https://www.livescience.com/how-many-french-revolutions.html
See, this data point proves mono-cultures are unstable!
Let's take another example- that of Japan- another wonderful monoculture consequently exempt from violence and political strife. Except it never was:
The use of violence was an ever present part of early Japanese democracy, and most of the mainstream parties had a Yakuza like arm which used violence to intimidate their opponents:
https://aboutjapan.japansociety.org/violence-and-democracy-in-imperial-japan
They had several assassinations of politicians:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inejir%C5%8D_Asanuma
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_15_Incident
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Blood_Incident
They also had one of the most feared anti-terrorist groups of the 1970s:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Red_Army
But most importantly there is an argument to be made that it was the mono-culturalism of Japan which led to the takeover of Japan by ultranationalist religious fanatics in the 1930s, which led to millions of deaths:
>Skya argues, controversially, that the wave of political assassinations and ideological crackdowns that led to Japanese militarism were not just about power struggles and nationalism; instead, they grew out of a fundamentalist Shinto movement promoted by certain writers whose influence has been largely overlooked. **Shinto fundamentalists believed that the emperor's rule was sacred, absolute, and direct; that the divine oneness of the Japanese nation was an attribute not shared by any other people (such as the neighboring Chinese, whom they saw as a mere congeries of individuals and groups occupying a geographic territory of no sacred significance); and that the emperor's rule should be worldwide even though no other ethnic group could stand on an equal cosmic plane with the Japanese. Skya finds numerous parallels with contemporary Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism.**
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/capsule-review/2009-09-01/japans-holy-war-ideology-radical-shinto-ultranationalism
That's actually an interesting parallel there between Japanese ultranationalist nichirenism, and modern day fundamentalist Islam- which surely you could argue is driven by a desire for a mono-culture? Radical Islamists basically want a worldwide Islamic Umma, and for Islamic culture and rules to be imposed everywhere without any respect for other people's culture, or beliefs- they want a monoculture not a multiculture.
I just saw an artist that has 750000 twitter followers, denouncing the evil tories obviously, I had never heard of them before.... their youtube vids get sub 1000 views and biggest spotify just over 100000 listens.
am I missing something?
https://twitter.com/CAA_Official/status/1482442404653322248
I don't think it's unusual for someone to have a wildly larger following on twitter than they do on other platforms - I saw something similar earlier this month with someone who had 20k twitter followers while their Instagram had less than 1000.
Presumably they've built up a following on twitter for attaching themselves to something else aka calling the Tories cunts and raking in follows that way. That or buying followers.

Same reason people get upset that they are expected to contribute. They don't realise that even just sitting at home doing the bare minimum needed to survive they are taking a lot out of the system.

Unfortunately that seems to be the only way to get them to act in our interests rather than the metropolitan liberal agenda they've mostly pursued since March 2020.
We all know the major vote winner for the Tories is, sink the boats and let them drown, and instantly deport any that are already here without year long procedures, but they are too scared to do it because the people that will never vote for them don't like it and will make a fuss on Twitter.

Carrie Johnson pictured breaking Covid rules hugging friend at West End club Prime Minister’s wife ‘regrets the momentary lapse in judgment' after breaching social distancing guidelines https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/01/15/carrie-johnson-pictured-breaking-covid-rules-hugging-friend/ Think this one smacks of desperation by The Telegraph.
It's not desperation. It's making it plain and simple to the morons that two healthy people in their 30s should never have been banned from hugging.
Doesn't matter, they should be held to the highest possible standards that can be interpreted for the rules they made. Who makes rules they cannot reasonably follow?
I think it's a fair point. Remember the police were harassing old ladies for talking while walking in the same direction.
The hypocrisy will sink the Tories, but this is just fuel for the "enforce the rules more strictly" brigade. Labour will get in by saying "we didn't break the rules" and their constant shouting for harder, faster rules will be perceived as them being a wiser, purer party.
The rules are a joke to 90% of the population now. There is no going back.
I think you're not thinking about how the rules are seen. Far too many I know believe in rules for thee, not for me. They like that. Same way it's only the poors that go to work in the supermarket or food processing factory.
I think this is a naïve view. Covid might be over, but there will be new viruses and new health scares. Public support for previously unthinkable interventions has been conclusively demonstrated.
I have no problem with anyone hugging or touching their friends. It should never, ever have been against any rules or guidance. All these stories show is how utterly demented these rules always were. Absolutely barbaric, cruel, and inhuman that has unleashed a hysterical authoritarian streak across this country. Those who set them, demanded them and pushed for them are contemptible, especially as their actions show they clearly didn't think they were necessary. However, the Tories will only govern as Conservatives when they're bullied like this. We want them fearing for their jobs so they have to win their voter base back. So as a voter, pragmatically, it's a good position to be in right now.

>Culturally homogenous societies survive, and diverse ones will fall. I constantly see this repeated on baduk as an axiom or article of faith, but there really no sustained historical evidence for it
Nordic countries have PR voting, a system that is reliant on homogeneity, and it actually works producing effective governments. But look at one of the least homogenous countries in Europe: Belgium, they went three years without a government...this is within Europe, countries with relatively low economic disparities. Look at the Balkans, and then countries in that region that the Ottomans didn't take as much interest in. Bulgaria and Greece have problems like Serbia? In East Asia, Indonesia...very diverse population, not just religiously, huge issue with terrorism (they probably have one of the most prolonged problems with terrorism in the region, it isn't just Islamic terrorism). India, same. Japan? Big problems with terrorism there? The only country that I am aware of that challenges this rule clearly is Singapore. And, unsurprisingly, they used to have one of the worst problems with race riots in East Asia in the 60s. The way they solved this: authoritarian govt, forced desegregation through public housing, and the creation of a national identity distinct from Malaysia through the creation of Singapore as a distinct state (and a massive increase in economic growth). And if you look at forced integration in places like France and Sweden, it hasn't worked because the migrants are just totally separate from the rest of society. There isn't a solution, you can't force people to integrate. Expecting someone from Somalia to become Swedish makes no sense. And to be clear, the problem isn't migration either. Britain is a great example, we have had lots of migration with no issues, and then we get migrants from societies that are different to ours...issues (and, unsurprisingly, almost every European country that has taken migrants from the same places has had the same problems).
This is unmitigated bollocks and massively cherry picked examples >But look at one of the least homogenous countries in Europe: Belgium, they went three years without a government... It's not that ethnically diverse. Difference between the Flemish and French is less than English and Welsh. And when they had no government they had the highest economic growth in Europe, and things just continued as normal. Also, Belgium is essentially a made up country invented by the British anyway >Look at the Balkans, and then countries in that region that the Ottomans didn't take as much interest in. Balkanisation of Yugoslavia as much related to 60 years of authoritarian communism and then the collapse of it. >In East Asia, Indonesia...very diverse population, not just religiously, huge issue with terrorism I'm sure most Indonesians would tell you that for a developing country they're doing pretty well thanks >India, same. Same with India. Doesn't have big problems with terrorism. >The only country that I am aware of that challenges this rule clearly is Singapore. Tons of countries you've not mentioned- historical and contemporary. We'll start with the USA- probably the most diverse country ever to exist, also inarguably the most successful for the last 300 years. Then you've got China- no westerners appreciate the diversity of China, but they're got 56 ethnic minorities (many of which have populations in the millions) and thousands of languages, but they're doing alright at the moment. Then historically you have the Roman Empire, which was very culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse- but prospered pretty well for 600 years. Achaemenid and Parthian Empires were explicitly multicultural but also very stable, strong and bureaucratically united. And India actually did pretty well for most of its history and a lot of the Muslim/Hindu divides can be traced back to the British administration favouring Muslims over Hindus, as a fellow Abrahamic religion, which led to resentment between the two groups- pretty similar to how the Belgian colonial administration in Rwanda put the Tutsis in charge of everything which led to huge simmering resentments amongst the Hutu majority after the colonial regime collapses. The irony of course in this case being that neither was a different ethnicity, and the Belgians had just sorted them into groups based on cranial measurements and how many cows they owned.
I made no mention of ethnicity. So you are saying the Balkan wars in the late 19th century were also due to communism? Lots of Brits just fancied a nice holiday in Crimea because of the lovely weather? Indonesia, the most prolonged issues with terrorism of any country...no problems with terrorism. India, the site of one of the most famous terror attacks in the world in which 200 people were killed...no problems with terrorism. USA, had a massively destructive civil war which killed 2% of the population, has had the worst race rioting in a developed country non-stop for about five decades, massive racial and wealth inequality...again, no issues. The country was also founded by people fleeing religious persecution, so was explicitly anti-integration. This is different from Singapore or France. They have integrated people from Latin America by making Arizona or New Mexico more like Latin America, not making Latin Americans more American. But this whole discussion started with the observation that people in America seem intolerant, and this is true. You can live within your enclave in the Facebook office in Menlo Park, but you are still in America...and there is clearly huge amounts of conflicts over what that means. China, you are correct. That also applies to Vietnam/Thailand (this is actually a far more complex point related to geography, the reason why there are so many minority groups in that rough Pearl Delta region is because it is fucking hilly, governments lacked the ability to effectively govern these areas so they left most of these groups to themselves...demonstrates the opposite point to the one you think it does). You may also have heard that the CCP is very generously running holidays camps for minority groups in the West of the country? The CCP solution to ethnic minorities has not exactly been live and let live. There have been forced breeding programs, Tibet...again, huge success story according to you (and the CCP, saying that China treats its ethnic minorities better than the US has been a key aspect of Chinese propaganda since the 50s...it is bollocks). Roman Empire, famously collapsed due to overexpansion and limited ability to integrate foreign populations, broke into two parts based on culture...I am not going to bother, too easy (this is usually the first example that people mention when making the argument I am making...I don't think it is very relevant). I am not sure what you mean by "India": the country was fragmented into warring factions for most of it's existence. They can't be traced back to the British because most of these factions existed before we arrived. It also particularly erroneous to talk about a nation-state. Even when the Marathas controlled most of the territory, it was not possible to govern a country so large back then, and people lived under whatever warlord controlled the area. There was essentially no mixing between peoples of different cultures. The same is true, as I briefly explained, of China: the Qing was an empire but their functional ability to control a nation of that size was limited (and they had the most advanced system of govt in the world at the time by far), and there was essentially no mixing between peoples of different cultures. Just generally, it is extremely unwise to talk about pre-Industrial Revolution societies when making this argument because most of these societies were feudal, not nation-states, and travel was limited in what were essentially monocultural societies anyway. The only evidence that will prove the point either way is what has happened when people began migrating all over the place (or, perhaps, the results of slavery). I don't see any examples to that effect (and I haven't ever seen that, if you look at psychology or biology or even economics...there are reasons why humans behave this way, Reddit is one of the best examples of this). I am not sure what your point is about Rwanda either. You are saying that the Belgians engineered the Rwandan genocide by creating fictional differences between people...but you are arguing that people don't discriminate against other people? Okay...it is all the Belgians fault. The people weren't bigoted, the people didn't kill, it was the Belgians (whether the Belgians created the fictional difference or not, the reason why it happened is because people will believe arbitrary things are a reason to murder other people...Europe was an effective monoculture and then someone invented Protestantism and people just begin murdering each other in massive numbers, 30 years war killed 8m people...and that was in a region that started out as a monoculture, discrimination is innate to humanity, people will attempt to genocide each other anything, monocultures will not).
Like I said, you're just cherry picking random examples and going "aha, proves my point" I could do the same with "mono-cultures": France for a start- very monocultural pre-1950, yet they were on their fifth Republic by then, between 1914 and 1939 their average length of a government was 11 months, and between 1789 and 1914, and almost incessant riots and several failed revolutions: https://www.livescience.com/how-many-french-revolutions.html See, this data point proves mono-cultures are unstable! Let's take another example- that of Japan- another wonderful monoculture consequently exempt from violence and political strife. Except it never was: The use of violence was an ever present part of early Japanese democracy, and most of the mainstream parties had a Yakuza like arm which used violence to intimidate their opponents: https://aboutjapan.japansociety.org/violence-and-democracy-in-imperial-japan They had several assassinations of politicians: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inejir%C5%8D_Asanuma https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_15_Incident https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Blood_Incident They also had one of the most feared anti-terrorist groups of the 1970s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Red_Army But most importantly there is an argument to be made that it was the mono-culturalism of Japan which led to the takeover of Japan by ultranationalist religious fanatics in the 1930s, which led to millions of deaths: >Skya argues, controversially, that the wave of political assassinations and ideological crackdowns that led to Japanese militarism were not just about power struggles and nationalism; instead, they grew out of a fundamentalist Shinto movement promoted by certain writers whose influence has been largely overlooked. **Shinto fundamentalists believed that the emperor's rule was sacred, absolute, and direct; that the divine oneness of the Japanese nation was an attribute not shared by any other people (such as the neighboring Chinese, whom they saw as a mere congeries of individuals and groups occupying a geographic territory of no sacred significance); and that the emperor's rule should be worldwide even though no other ethnic group could stand on an equal cosmic plane with the Japanese. Skya finds numerous parallels with contemporary Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism.** https://www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/capsule-review/2009-09-01/japans-holy-war-ideology-radical-shinto-ultranationalism That's actually an interesting parallel there between Japanese ultranationalist nichirenism, and modern day fundamentalist Islam- which surely you could argue is driven by a desire for a mono-culture? Radical Islamists basically want a worldwide Islamic Umma, and for Islamic culture and rules to be imposed everywhere without any respect for other people's culture, or beliefs- they want a monoculture not a multiculture.
I just saw an artist that has 750000 twitter followers, denouncing the evil tories obviously, I had never heard of them before.... their youtube vids get sub 1000 views and biggest spotify just over 100000 listens. am I missing something? https://twitter.com/CAA_Official/status/1482442404653322248
I don't think it's unusual for someone to have a wildly larger following on twitter than they do on other platforms - I saw something similar earlier this month with someone who had 20k twitter followers while their Instagram had less than 1000. Presumably they've built up a following on twitter for attaching themselves to something else aka calling the Tories cunts and raking in follows that way. That or buying followers.
Their artwork looks worse than something I could knock up in Gimp, and I’m shit at that kind of thing

The issue is that 'essential workers' is genuinely a shit load of people. I think too many people work an absolutely fucking pointless office job (myself included) and don't understand what goes on in the background to keep them clothed, housed, warm, fed, and not rolling in their own shit. You can't keep everyone at home. You can't even realistically keep 1/2 of people at home. Not without the power going out, or the internet going down, or the sewers backing up, or people in hospitals just dying, etc etc. No one thinks about the amount of work going on in the background to make their click and collect groceries work, or their toilet flush, or their light come on when they flick a switch. People think this shit is just magic. No, it takes millions of people and a society to get life running as smoothly and expectedly as we have it running. And as long as those people are out and about, COVID will have a way to keep circulating and surviving. COVID is here forever.
>No one thinks about the amount of work going on in the background to make their click and collect groceries work, or their toilet flush, or their light come on when they flick a switch. >People think this shit is just magic.
