Non-black pill below Average Frustrated Chump (bAFC), social democrat. I would identify as an Incel, but that would give you the wrong idea. I am against misogyny, though I might be critical of aspects of feminism and wokeness.
Maybe the other anti-woke right wingers will be thinking "Ah well, Brexit was justified for other reasons, so Millionaires fleeing is regrettable but acceptable" - but perhaps someone could put that point to them.

My view on Brexit is that I think the principles of being able to make your own laws do make the economic costs of it acceptable trade-offs for me

Do you think millionaires leaving the UK - regardless of if it's down to leaving the EU or putting taxes up - is generally a bad thing yes, or do you think it's not necessarily a bad thing.
As someone anti-woke I think this is a very fair point actually.

But if the quality just seems to get terminally worse as the diversification goes underway - many people think it would be better to have quality MPs even if they were overwhelmingly pale, male and stale. If you had to take either.

Depends on what is meant by success? It seems obvious yes that it does have a higher representation of ethnic minority and female MPs - but can anyone say that the general quality of MPs has improved?
Diversity of characteristics of MPs and quality of said MPs at politics aren't mutually exclusive

I mean George Monbiot is hardly just a disinterested observer either? Not that I mind, as he's relatively thoughtful most of the time. I think that does somewhat balance it out, no?

To be fair there are reports that the father knew about his sons intentions about a week before the attack.
He may be wracked with guilt for not doing more (I don't know who specifically referred Rudakubana in his prevent referrals generally speaking).

Funny I consider myself heteroflexible guy - when I've watched MFM threesomes that often have no interaction between the guys it feels... unadventurous. Less free-flowing in terms of energy.
I'm straight, but prefer proper bisexual MMF for those reasons

However I can't pretend that I'm not quite grateful Musk has raised the profile of this.
History isn't about simplistically good vs evil people - Musk has many faults, but it's not like he can't do any good as a result

To be honest Charlie's Peter's had said that the general response from survivors have been they're glad that his comments have massively raised the profile of this.
I don't particularly like Musk, he does say a lot of inaccurate and vitriolic stuff...

I really like Sebastian Milbank a lot - it's like a lot of right-wing media, I'd say the shitheads are outweighed by a lot of fairly decent contributers.
I feel it's a good avenue of Blue Labour/Tory Socialist aligned analysis.

I'm straight - but heteroflexible - I would like to experiment engaging sexually with a guy in that scenario to please my missus/partner, but to make it more free flowing and fun all round

And that given Pakistan is a more misogynistic society than Britain that they might be disproportionately represented if not the majority.

I think you've missed the main point. The majority of us don't argue that white men are the majority of perpetrators (why wouldn't they given that they're the majority) - it's that the victims of the grooming gangs made up predominantly of Pakistanis were ignored as it would reflect badly on...

Are the grooming gangs - and the fact that those responsible for failing to arrest the criminals - not also a stain on national pride?

I think the demand for proper security of the border, management of migration, and the ability to deport dangerous foreign criminals isn't fascism necessarily. Too many people equivocation the rioters with the white working class yes, but that's not the same as above.

What specific concerns are troglobyte for you?
I think that the anger over the grooming fang atrocities (scandal isn't strong enough a word) is more than warranted.

Also the lack of self-awareness of those straight men and a fair few others really does blow my mind.
