2008 was the opposite of today. It was terrifyingly bad for the investor class. For everyday people not much really happened.

Here is the full suspension letter from UGent that was sent to Nathan Cofnas, it shows ample reason for his suspension and potential termination. Including breach of contract, using the University of Ghent’s name and legitimacy to promote his racial supremacist views and causing reputational damage.

Only the left have agency taken to absolute absurd degrees, nothing bad can ever happen that isn't our fault.
Hard to disagree with the substantive point being made here about crime being ignored, but the framing that the left is “squeamish” about dealing with these shops doesn’t seem relevant at all to that point. The police aren’t failing to tackle this crime because of the left!

The problem is that one of the reasons our response to COVID was so shit was that Boris Johnson was in charge of it, and Johnson was a media darling shitehoused into power by our utterly malevolent press. So you see why they wouldn't want to enquire too deeply and prefer easy answers.
Yes...but prevention of infection harm was not and should not have been the only harm we were thinking about it. This is my point.

Imagine having the two decades we've just gone through and still thinking this just needed the right sort of chap to make the right call.

This is a systemic failing that people like Goodall are part of.

This the problem. There were legitimate alternative policy choices between what was done and the “anti science far right.”

This is the kind of thing that radicalises these guys. A bunch of "legitimate questions" where they're convinced they have the right answer, countered by a load of people who know what they're talking about telling them they're wrong. Expect to see Goodall become Rod Liddle within a decade.

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

Their plan is to say as little as possible and win by default, which in their mind is the safest path that doesn't alienate anyone. This misses the opportunity to galvanize the public around important issues, and then they throw up their hands about how the voters are ignorant and apathetic
I do find it amazing that even in this moment, the Dems can't come up with some sort of "Contract for America" like language that offers an alternative to Trump. Maybe they have it, but whatever governing vision they have is lost in the noise.
