Liberal supporters of the status quo have been shown absolutely irrefutable evidence said status quo and their own actions have lead to extremely bad outcomes.
So *of course* they're all devoting their entire being to punching left and insisting on their own intellectual superiority.

Just endless reminders Liberals think they're proper people and we're not and so they can say and do whatever they like but we must be completely respectful to them.

Looking at Europe tacitly endorsing America's actions in Venezuela and thinking a lot about how Poland supported the Munich Agreement because they got a tiny sliver of Czechoslovakia.

People are talking a lot about Iraq but I worry the better comparison is Libya.
Western Elites promised positive outcomes for Iraq and in a really warped way tried to deliver and got lots of criticism for it.
They promised nothing about Libya and utterly destroyed and it's barely a footnote.

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state.
The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

I keep recommending this video but it really does speak to the current moment so well.
Specifically Geller highlights that defendents at Nuremberg consistently used the excuse that they were just functionaries, cogs in a machine forced to obey by circumstance.

Important to note that the only official response to the SpyCops scandal has been to pass a law that makes it legal for not only the police but employees of agencies as varied as the Environment Agency and Gambling Commission to commit most crimes while undercover.

Awesome how we have an ongoing inquiry that relentlessly reveals how the state joyfully makes sport of dissidents - not because they’re any kind of threat but apparently just for fun, so the lads can have a laugh - while the government continues to criminalise protest so it can jail more dissidents.
Spycops sent thousands of surveillance reports to MI5, inquiry documents reveal
Spycops sent thousands of surveillance reports to MI5, inquiry documents reveal
Security Service was able to compile detailed files on members of legitimate protest groups infiltrated by undercover police officers
Thousands of surveillance reports compiled by undercover police officers who spied on political campaigners were routinely passed to MI5, documents obtained by the spycops inquiry have revealed.
Police sent undercover officers on long-term deployments to infiltrate mainly leftwing protest groups and gather enormous quantities of information about their political and personal activities. Continue reading...

This ties into all the pundits being absolutely stumped by Starmer being unpopular.
Comfortables genuinely believe what they say and do is objectively correct and anything the rabble does is by definition wrong.
To the extent *disagreeing* with them kills free debate.

In Aliens, when they realise they can't use AP rounds in the atmosphere processor why don't they go back to the APC and take a few minutes to re-arm with weapons then can use safely?
I know it'd ruin the narrative flow but there's no in universe reason why they don't.

#FilmSky, a quick question; what is the pettiest thing you have had to be annoyed at a film? I ask because I am watching The Gift from 2000, and the main character does divination with Zener Cards, which are not the same thing as Tarot at all. Why go for a more boring looking option?

They were so desperate to do their own version of Obama watching the Bin Laden raid but managed to have Twitter on the big screen when they did it.
Absolute clowns.

I'll be honest, if any politics of envy made me go right wing it would probably be envy of how perfect and happy the Mamdanis seem to be.

But you better bet >50% of Congressional Democrats will support it.
This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.
The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.
