yeah, the Labour party is basically at war with itself right now

2019-09-20 20:18:00 UTC  

lol

2019-09-20 20:18:21 UTC  

no wonder lib dems are doing so well

2019-09-20 20:19:03 UTC  

At this rate the Lib Dems are going to be replacing Labour as the main opposition

2019-09-20 20:19:14 UTC  

The cult of corbyn is trying to solidfy it's own position in the party

2019-09-20 20:19:23 UTC  

It's arguable whether that would be better or worse though

2019-09-20 20:19:30 UTC  

And its having the side effect of fucking up the whole party

2019-09-20 20:27:21 UTC  

all the moderates are joining the limp dems

2019-09-20 20:28:57 UTC  

moderate remainers anyway

2019-09-20 20:31:47 UTC  

mildly alarming time to be alive, tbh

2019-09-20 20:44:18 UTC  

I think i would prefer Corbyn to Swinson

2019-09-20 20:44:57 UTC  

mildly, perhaps. What's really alarming is the realisation is that it's always been this crazy and you're only aware of this tiny fragment of time. Or is that more reassuring? I'm honestly not sure.

2019-09-20 20:45:53 UTC  

I don't think its always been this crazy

2019-09-20 20:46:15 UTC  

you should study more history friend

2019-09-20 20:46:35 UTC  

I mean Labour is about as Left Leaning now as it was under Clement Attlee in 1945 and i don't think politics was as crazy back then

2019-09-20 20:48:43 UTC  

it's the flow rate of information, until recently you (the general public) were only aware of a tiny fraction of the world politics because you had only the media of the time, everything was at best a day late.

2019-09-20 20:49:53 UTC  

these days you get to see it blow by blow as "it " occurs. It's too much for most to comprehend comfortably

2019-09-20 20:50:46 UTC  

but politics has always been crazy

2019-09-20 20:52:01 UTC  

we live in an unprecedented period of peace

2019-09-20 20:52:13 UTC  

that alone should be evidence enough that it's likely less crazy now than before

2019-09-20 20:52:14 UTC

Well it looks like they already have

2019-09-20 21:10:07 UTC  

they are the main remain party now

2019-09-20 21:10:52 UTC  

Remain and leave are now the primary motivators in people's votes

>The Labour Party is at war with itself

2019-09-20 21:15:44 UTC  

*looks at the USA*

2019-09-20 21:15:47 UTC  

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

2019-09-20 21:15:57 UTC  

We have always been at war with the labour Party

2019-09-20 21:19:47 UTC  

was clement atlee openly marxist?

2019-09-20 21:20:11 UTC  

or did he just want nationalised public services + welfare state?

2019-09-20 21:29:20 UTC  

I am pretty sure he was a Social Democrat leaning towards Socialism

2019-09-20 21:29:35 UTC  

Basically the Corbyn of 1945

2019-09-20 21:34:23 UTC  

didn't have the whole intersectionality bullshit back then, though

2019-09-20 21:34:35 UTC  

and a lot of people were already poor

2019-09-20 21:38:44 UTC  

Social Democracy was a very different ideology back then, Much more reasonable

2019-09-20 21:45:24 UTC  

Aren't labour just a bunch of communists now?

2019-09-20 21:46:02 UTC  

At least the actual Communists want to Leave the EU

2019-09-20 22:14:04 UTC  

Guys, I’m gonna say it I have no clue what the hell CANZUK is

2019-09-20 22:17:09 UTC  

it's gay

2019-09-20 22:17:51 UTC  

it's a mythical empire or grouping consisting of Canada, New Zealand, and the UK
