If we're talking about American politics in our lifetime, yeah this is tops. But it's not history's craziest politics by a long shot

You mistake me: I think it's so bad people should leave if they can, or revolt en masse. I just also like talking about history.

I have. Are you going to leave if you can or revolt en masse?

I left three years ago. I saw all this coming, though I still do the voting bit. Sorry it's come to this.

It's been somewhat traumatic. I had to take things back to where they began two generations ago, return to the roots that once were, though they're new to me. I'm grateful that you and I could commiserate, at least. It's validating to speak to others who felt the same.

Utterly insane take from him. Based on the strength of a single referendum that was likely influenced by a foreign power and carried out by some of the most determinedly incompetent leaders we've seen in a generation, we are to lose free trade, influence abroad, freedom to roam, consumer protections, and countless other benefits, to continue for the lifetime of an as yet unelected PM who has purged his party of anyone to the left of Barack Obama.

It should be enough to know that Russia prefers the current situation. I'd happily ditch the pound on that basis - it's not exactly as if sir Isaac has been running the mint lately.

Isn't it weird how all these stridently isolationist voices are taking Russian money? I just can't seem to connect this dot. Putin must really hate woke 🙃

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a president in charge of the most deadly oligarchy in history must be in want of a war

I'm responding to your comment... in which you called all media slop?

You get the usual blend of ⅔ mostly reasonable people and ⅓ super intense people who are not fun to talk to, they just stan different authoritarians.

I've asked the skywind community for their view on it a recent Bethesda update that screwed things up for Skyrim mods, and my takeaway was that it was basically a mixed bag, some good and some unfortunately not so good. Maybe they're just in the habit of playing extra nice with Bethesda, but maybe there's nuance below the surface.

I don't know if I could deal with this bullshit. I work at such a small office we don't do anything but calls, faxes, and shitloads of emails. The odd side text sometimes. Adding a whole chat space thing where I'm constantly on the hook for a reply would do my head in.

I would say it's valid to dislike this as an oversimplification. It's a super complex series of unintended and intended consequences, bad ideologies, and terrible behavior generally.

They say war is a failure of imagination, and it has been increasingly hard for either of the belligerents to imagine peace.

I think the only humane view we can take as bystanders is to support asylum seekers as much as possible and condemn war crimes no matter who does them. Most people are just caught up in the gears of history. Nobody deserves this.

We live during a critical point in history, and I am determined to laugh at it
