Bad news. My self-flagellation machine doesn't work. Whatever, it's no skin off my back

I would like Democrats to win, not to perform self-flagellation to appease a tiny number of people online who will always lie about them anyway.

Democrats may think they are softening the message when they say things like "Abolish Trump's ICE" but this is a mistake.

The qualifier of "Trump's" shows a deflection of Dem responsibility for perpetuating this agency and funding it.

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

Thinking back to how people were "hysterical" for calling trump white supremacist and now he's doing nordic theory on the campaign trail

We really should do something to recognise 'Daniel Hannan Day' e.g. Self-flagellation and Morris Dancing.
geoffreyharris.bsky.social Geoffrey Harris @geoffreyharris.bsky.social · Jan 11
Barely more than 6 months now until we all get to celebrate Daniel Hannan day!
What Britain looks like after Brexit Daniel Hannan Jun 21, 2016 "It’s 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave. The years that followed the 2016 referendum didn’t just reinvigorate our economy, our democracy and our liberty. They improved relations with our neighbours. The United Kingdom is now the region’s foremost knowledge-based economy. We lead the world in biotech, law, education, the audio-visual sector, financial services and software. New industries, from 3D printing to driverless cars, have sprung up around the country. Older industries, too, have revived as energy prices have fallen back to global levels: steel, cement, paper, plastics and ceramics producers have become competitive again." "Now, the UK has again become a centre for world shipping. Shale oil and gas came on tap, almost providentially, just as the North Sea reserves were depleting, with most of the infrastructure already in place. Outside the EU, we have been able to augment this bonanza by buying cheap Chinese solar panels. In consequence, our fuel bills have tumbled, boosting productivity, increasing household incomes and stimulating the entire economy. During the first 12 months after the vote, Britain confirmed with the various countries that have trade deals with the EU that the same deals would continue. It also used that time to agree much more liberal terms with those states which had run up against EU protectionism, including India, China and Australia. These new treaties came into effect shortly after independence. Britain, like the EFTA countries, now combines global free trade with full participation in EU markets. Our universities are flourishing, taking the world’s brightest students and, where appropriate, charging accordingly. Their revenues, in consequence, are rising, while they continue to collaborate with research centres in Europe and around the world." "Unsurprisingly, several other European countries have opted to copy Britain’s deal with the EU, based as it is upon a common market rather than a common government. Some of these countries were drawn from EFTA (Norway, Switzerland and Iceland are all bringing their arrangements into line with ours). Some came from further afield (Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine). Some followed us out of the EU (Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands). The United Kingdom now leads a 22-state bloc that forms a free trade area with the EU, but remains outside its political structures. For their part, the EU 24 have continued to push ahead with economic, military and political amalgamation. They now have a common police force and army, a pan-European income tax and a harmonised system of social security. These developments have prompted referendums in three other EU states on whether to copy Britain. Perhaps the greatest benefit, though, is not easy to quantify. Britain has recovered its self-belief. As we left the EU, we straightened our backs, looked about us, and realised that we were still a nation to be reckoned with: the world’s fifth economy and fourth military power, one of five members on the UN Security Council and a leading member of the G7 and the Commonwealth. We recalled, too, that we were the world’s leading exporter of soft power"

"In December of 2023, many people made Secretary Lloyd Austin go through the stages of the cross in self-flagellation and mea culpas for not informing the president that he was having a surgery, and now how we are treating Secretary Hegseth as if he is untouchable."

Spot on!

the point of this genre of scolding pedantism is and always was the institution and reproduction of a flagellant class seeking indulgence from the moral superhunans who deign to enlighten them, and not any sort of material change in circumstance

It’s the 189th anniversary of the birth of one of the oddest of Victorians – which is a high bar, because Victorians were deeply weird people, but this was poet and flagellation enthusiast Algernon Charles Swinburne 🧵
b/w photo of Algernon Swinburne, looking at camera, his enormous bouffant hair parted, making it look even odder than it already would. He has a wisp of moustache, and a skinny, big-nosed, rodent-y look

i think your typical democratic voter will respond much better to "they hate this motherfucker in the white house as much as i do" than endless flagellation over biden, especially since the latter looks weak and reinforces all the worst stereotypes about democrats!

Here’s the closing section of what he describes as “powerful” and everyone else is correctly calling deranged and evil. It’s collective guilt and it’s just a call for horrific violence
Long live Hamas' Al Qassam Brigades, men of honor and steel, who rise from the subterranean below with homemade weapons and unshakeable faith to strike fear and fatal blows into the hearts of the Zionist enemy. Where Jews snuffed out life, Al Qassam breathed oxygen back into the body. This is the most shameful generation of Jews to ever exist. Not one of us can say we didn't know. We are spiritually hollow, morally eviscerated. Don't just selfishly say "Israel doesn't represent all Jews" - fight for that distinction to be materially true by eradicating Zionism within Judaism. That is the only choice. When it comes to the evils of Zionism, Jews would rather lie to ourselves and self-deceive than take a modicum of responsibility beyond feeble self-interested sloganeering. How long will Palestine and the region have to pay for our delusional denial, our unceasing rapturous violence, our refusal to take accountability for the ways we have destroyed so much life on this precious precarious planet? Jews must destroy the Israeli state and the Zionist ideology in its entirety, its every node Jews must destroy the Israeli state and the Zionist ideology in its entirety, its every node and tentacle, including Israel's host colony: Amerika. I care more about Palestine than Judaism. If Judaism has to die for Palestine to live, kill it.
