no he sucks at that too he could have just let the left wing of the party sit there and whine forever but he chose to kick them all out despite them presenting no threat to his majority and now he has fucked it completely

convincing left wing Labour MPs to actually leave the party and start a new one is like, insane. they have a Labour Party loyalism bone in their brains and he still managed it.

Simply ignore it. If you cannot ignore it, deny it. If you cannot deny it, justify it. If you cannot justify it, apologise for it. If you cannot apologise for it, lie about doing something about it. Do this for as long as possible so that the job can be finished or somebody else takes your place and the sacred penetrative act of colonial genocide and land-theft can go on for as long as necessary.

I'd rather they pick a broad label for a broad project. There are already two different "Socialist Party"s so that's out. Better this than something like "Peace and Justice Party" or "We Are Many" etc.

also presumably looking at the ethnic cleansing going on against other minorities in the country and thinking "no thanks"

i feel that and i don't know how to stop the feeling of sickness long enough to do anything other than loathe my fellow human being for what they allow to happen, what they tacitly or openly support. most people (at least modern people, the subjects of the neoliberal order) are useless, lazy pigs, and if they even feel any kind of negative emotion about this, the most they'll likely do is post about it. a small minority of heroes will throw their bodies into the cogs and get chewed up. it is just disgusting. it is sickening. the only innocent people are the ones sent to the camps.

as always, the answer is somewhere in the middle. some of them fantasize about being Rockefeller, and others fantasize about being Hitler, and some fantasize about both!

@Lemmygradwontallowme I'm unable to reply in the original thread bc it's closed now, but since you asked, I mainly follow the Sahel conflict through a Marxist journalist/writer on twitter who I've known for a while and who has a few sources in the region. https://x.com/RashmanTheHorse

Situation continues to worsen in Burkina Faso https://x.com/WerbCharlie/status/1949527898387620017

🇧🇫|#BurkinaFaso: JNIM fighters seemingly entered the centre of Pibaoré earlier today, with footage showing them posing with and desecrating an AES roundabout. These new landmarks are inadvertently becoming a way for the group to show it has successfully overran an urban area.

like even ignoring the worst-case scenarios we're set for crises in the immediate future that will dwarf the "cost-of-living crisis" of 2022-23 and the pandemic. but basically the vast majority of people are just hoping that it'll all be fine and we'll go back to how things were in the 90s if we have some Good Government. it's going to be interesting to see how the masses respond to this situation, which they have been repeatedly informed of for decades now, but which they still don't understand.
