Off Topic The Politics Thread

No one ideology is perfect for everyone or even anyone. We’ll all disagree as to what is the best amount of capitalism or socialism or any -ism but despite some of my beliefs I think capitalism can be a force for good and without it we wouldn’t have developed half as much as a human race, positively or not.

The problem with it, very broadly, is that the people who benefit are usually those who need the benefit the least and those who suffer can least afford it. In good times that negative isn’t that noticeable- we’ll always have some poverty but not loads. Right now the negatives of capitalism are taking root more than any time in my life and maybe any of our lives. How much of that is due to the Tories is a debate. I’d say quite a lot.

 

The true state of the nation...

 

I knew Brighton was quite gay but moving here made me realise it is so gay. Nice though. Some good walks.

Lol wonder what secrets we are going to get in here

 

No expert but if you’ve got nothing to hide you probably wouldn’t put in so much effort to hide something. I think even the most ardent Boris loyalists know what he and some of his colleagues did. The truth will come out though it won’t bring back the people who unnecessarily died or undo the corruption.

 

They have forgotten to put “homeless and smack heads” along the south coast. Depressingly, it has an abundance of both.

 

There is a lot of that here. I assume it’s people bunking on the train from London to live in the relative warmth. The smack heads tend to be nice. It’s the crackheads you have to be wary of.

 

Hey, I’m not homeless!

 

None of us are homeless when we have each other.

 

Yeah, but I dislike long queues for the bathroom.

 

You shouldn’t be so popular when you are in the bathroom

 

Funny place for a snooker table too.

Think you could have safely bet your house on that one

 

I like to be proven correct….however this would have been like betting the sun would rise in the morning.
But remember…..he’s our dictator, so support him they will
