Soph0571's JournalWith these stealers of female freedoms, 2020 could not be more important...
We are witness to the demonstrable and evident continuing need of many right wing men to assert domination over women, not just within their own communities, but with all of us. This reflects not only the extent of their innate insecurity (snowflakes) it is also a direct measure of the extent to which they believe women are inferior and the anger they feel towards those who would question the 'rightness' of patriarchy. There has never been any empirical evidence to back the view that one sex is innately better than the other, and if conservative women chose to allow their men to treat them like second class citizens, they need to own that. But that should not and must not mean that these stealers of female freedoms get to make choices for the rest of us. We have our own agency, but they seek to appropriate this every day as they drop multitudes of new abortion restrictions.
Being anti women’s reproductive freedom is all about punishing women for having the nerve to be sexual, outside the strict confines of what these dominionists think acceptable (marriage, sex for reproductive purposes etc). In their bollocks approach of faux Christian faith system pregnancy is the punishment for us having sex in a way that they do not approve of and cannot control. They are after all alongside everything else, control freaks. They literally believe (because it suits their patriarchal world view) that women have their god given position in society as second class citizens, and to have the audacity to disturb their chosen natural order is of the devil. And as second class citizens women who have not followed their rules should never be allowed to be unburdened from the fears of an unwanted pregnancy. They could not conceive of a better punishment for our refusal in the 21st Century to give them our agency. If they get their way with abortion, you can guarantee birth control will be next.
2020 could not be more important.
Now, I am not one usually for quoting the religious....But this chap has a point ...
"He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust." St. Thomas Aquinas
Not only are the righties not cross, they are gleeful at the injustices bearing down on the vulnerable. Immoral, unjust, unrighteous indeed.
We need wrath when we are living through this period of history that is overwhelming in its right wing machination and cruelty, and I am very cross indeed.
They are a lost cause...
A lost generation of numpties...
I would say I feel sorry for them...but...nah
"We are the only party who can deliver Brexit" insists the only party that has failed to
He continued, “We have been the only party in power the entire three and a half years since the referendum, and we’ve spent those three and a half years failing to do exactly this. But my contempt for you, the voting public, is great enough that I don’t expect you to consider that at all.”

When satire and real life fuse to the extent you cannot tell them apart...
They are the opposite of profiles in courage
By giving into the bully they have ruined the conservative movement for a generation at least. Chickenshits indeed.
Sad thing is these morons do not understand that fundamentally, like all bully's, Trump is a coward. If they would stand up to the fucker I think they would be surprised. But at this point they are too far in. Enabling the bundle of narcissism, grotesque ignorance, and reckless idiocy mean he owns them lock, stock, and bloody barrel.
Stop, stammer time

Genius
A 20th Century psychological profile, just as scarily relevant today...
{Hitler's psychological profile in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services. }
It is like the orange arsehole intentionally lends himself to a mass murdering dictators strategy for domination... heh.
Britain deserves better
----
Yet for the reasons outlined, we have resolved to endorse no party at this general election. As a publication that is beholden to no party or faction, that defends the intellectual traditions of scepticism, independence of thought, the spirit of criticism and a willingness to debate, we believe that voters deserve better.
----
Perhaps, above all, a new politics for the 2020s must cultivate a civic patriotism that is inclusive and generous, rather than sour and resentful, and that reaffirms the value of the common good. Decency, pragmatism, humility, reciprocity, environmentalism, social responsibility, social justice and the protective state – these should be the values that shape the new political dispensation. The election will not open the way for this alternative settlement. But it has confirmed the profound need for it as an era comes to an end.

Cue the outrage from Corbynista's but this is in fact a big deal. A big beastie of the left won't support the Labour arty in this election... much more analysis at the link. They destroy Boris.
