Description
UK General Election, today. Not sure what turns my stomach more: the thought of another 4 years of their governance, or that if they are permitted to keep power, their mental-gymnast supporters blaming all the sh*t the Tories have put in motion on whichever poor bastards finally succeed them.
They can slap the Union flag on their logo, but they serve no one but themselves.

Well I agree, the Tories, just like Labour and the Libdem serves no one but themselves, and until the UK have proportional representation of some kind it can't really claim to even be a democracy.
Yet I understand why they won, I think everyone can if they just think things thought.
For the first time, in a long time (since Thatcher), the tories have a leader that is charismatic, and who actually believes in something. And he had a very great election motto: Get Brexit Done.
These things are important, short precise mottos that people can understand and get behind. Its like "Make America Great Again" I mean we can disagree on what it was that made America Great, and thus what is needed to make it great again, but everyone wants to be great.
The problem with these mottos are, they are usually just in order to get elected. A rational opposition would hold them extremely accountable for their words. Of course the American opposition is not rational, and this little fellow in the picture doesn't seem very calm and collected either.
One tool that I find important but the left seems to have almost forgotten is the doctrine of benevolence. This means simply that we each take it as a preposition that our opponents are benevolent, that they mean well, and wants what's best, and we just have different ideas about what that is. To renounce that is really to renounce any possibility for civil discourse.
Because against a malevolent opponent who wish us bodily harm, the only answer is violence.

Well, that's democracy for you. Be assured that now, ~70 to 80 years after the Second Great War, ALL democratic institutions in the western hemisphere are corrupt and consequently owned by multi-national multi-billion media (Disney, Time-Warner) or tech (apple, google, facebook, etc) companies. Accept it. Pray that Boris will pull an no-deal brexit, then he should call The Don, Canada and Australia to do trade with you. F**k Brussels.
The UK has massive problems and Labour wouldn't have lifted one single finger to solve them. Boris mightn't too, but that doesn't matter now, right?
Besides - if your really want to be political in any effing meaningful way, if you're a real progressive feminist... draw pics, satirical or not, about how an whole ideology in cities - that were 70 years before native brits only - abuses vulnerable native british girls from broken homes / orphanages. Be a champion for THEM.
Doesn't matter. Bro, please. Just draw big-titted (cat)girls and leave politics out of your work(s).

isn't that how they all act? We elect them, they act an ass in one way or another, come time for elections, they do whatever mental ninja-ism is required to keep them in their little cradle of power, and we (as the little people) take it in the pipe all over again while they claim it's all in your mind.

The conservatives are being FAR more benevolent to them than Labor would be in the driver's seat. For one thing the conservatives aren't the ones demanding jobs on a silver platter just for having unpopular opinions; nor are they banning KITCHEN knives. Nor are they banking on a shifting, Britain-hating zeitgeist to carry them to re-election.Β

My, you sound so civil and cogent with statements like these. Look, I get snarling over a keyboard can be fun, when it's a journal or a blog or whatever, but...even de-individuated this is a person you're talking to, alright: remember that, if you want them to treat you like a person. You can't act like you're the only adult who gets to be a human being on the internet, especially without any real knowledge of how or what you're talking about. Not saying you don't posses knowledge, but some of your comments lead me to question you.
I mean, you just marginalized conservatives---whatever that means--on both sides of the pond, and I happen to be a conservative. But I'm not religious, I think prostitution should be legal, that all drugs should be legal for adults, and that porn is harmless in moderation. Now: do I sound "conservative" in the "aristocratic" sense to you? I have an associates in general art, another in screen writing, and I've lived below the poverty line my entire adult life. I believe in conserving the best parts of Western society---the Socratic method, metaphysics, the golden rule, the rule of law, property rights, constitutional government, federalism, etc.---just to name a few of the myriad ingenious breakthroughs in human society that have enabled more wealth, rights and individual liberty than in any other time on this planet.Β Probably the most important principal being government by consent of the governed, and, for a multiplicity of reasons, Britain didn't want it sovereignty compromised by granting powers to a foreign government, powers it was unlikely (and quite unwilling) to give back; speaking as the beneficiary of colonial America, I can relate, and fully endorse the Brits leaving the EU and the Tories for carrying out the confirmed, and doubly confirmed, will of the British people at large.Β

Do you know what a cult does? It turns each and every one of its members into a virtue-signaling informant; it hems in its zealots, through elitism and dogma, so they can't be de-programmed; then marginalizes everyone who isn't a member of the cult as sub-human or transgressive, often through some form of original sin, rendering the heathen and the zealot both irredeemable by anything but strict adherence to the faith.Β
I just described your behavior to a T. Don't lecture a former Mormon on what a "cult" looks like, bud: I know a cultist when I see one, and if you were projecting any more your bigotry would be in IMAX.

"I really just want you people to fuck off and die"
Β See, now, when you use terms like that you really don't inspire people to sympathize with you, or to listen. Now, if that's the goal, and you want people to marginalize your opinion, because you feel entitled to some cheap pointless fleeting cartharsis, by swearing at total strangers you've never met, and likely would give you the shirt off their back if they met you on the street, then go ahead; it's a winning strategy: a self-righteous refusal to communicate in a civilized manner.Β

"Don't need your sympathy"
Mmm, you do, bud. Like it or not, this ain't your world, and government is by consent of the governed in this country: make friends or enjoy being a minority voice with nothing but a soap box to 'REE!' from, because you're too hostile and immature to have a meaningful dialogue.Β
