Pointless discussing this on the other place (unless you want to be bombarded by statue pfp Nazis) but I've always thought reactionaries hate Brutalism's functions - as public housing, universities etc - more than its aesthetic, and that it has the temerity to be unapologetic and strident about them

The real point of this report (co-authored by a former Tory spad) is to give liberals permission to go with the rightward flow - "you can't work with the left so don't bother". As if they needed any encouragement on that score

This stuff is so funny. The Boer and the other tech oligarchs care purely about money. If you're an ordinary working stiff, they hate you and think you exist purely to serve them, or you can drop dead. If you don't instinctively see these people as class enemies, you have the mind of a medieval serf

A Tory-Reform non-aggression pact at the next election and Labour are done. Their sole strategy to counter this will be turning themselves into a bargain-bin Reform tribute act, but it won't work

They will do anything to spite Corbyn and prove they aren't leftwing, apparently even to the point of risking nuclear war

Also found this, involving a great-great-grandfather of mine who tried to save a little girl whose clothes had caught fire. Sadly her injuries were too severe and she didn't make it
