I don't know what you were expecting

See I just don't think the people who say shit like "the chippyman is cross with me for faffing about in the queue like a proper bellend" get to have opinions on the respectability of American dialectical contractions, but tbh I'm just here for the ratio.

Minor point but I really hate this performative “y’all” people do to try and appear more folksy. I don’t type in a Yorkshire accent and I did people would rightly tell me to shut up.

I do not think "black people are inferior" or, say, "Jews are inferior" are suitable subjects for academic enquiry. We've done that before and it hasn't gone well. What would be the red line for you? If he had a swastika on his forehead?

there are no 'correct' grounds for being a socialist to people with a vested interest in defending the capitalist order. if you're poor, you're lazy. if you're middle class, you're envious. if you're wealthy, you're hypocritical. it's all a goalpost-moving shell game.

the thing about "champagne socialists" is that a lot of us know we were extraordinarily lucky due to the circumstances of our birth and want better lives for everyone as a result, I do not understand how this is supposed to be a gotcha
