hey guyz what's going on in the safe space
https://www.resetera.com/threads/socialism-ot-the-dawn-of-a-red-era.585/post-27319744

Let’s see what corbyn can do to salvage those motherfuckers from themselves...

Goddammit

The UK is a failed state.

How on fucking Earth!?

Nothing good will ever happen

FUCK ELECTORALISM.

FUCK THIS FUCKING PLANET!!!!!

My only consolation about this century of dread is that the rich who steered us here will be made to suffer and account for it.

It's a fucking travesty Corbyn got Corporate Media'd so effectively.

I hate this fucking country. Full of fucking idiots.

Seriously considering moving.

Well, I had a good cry. I didn't even cry over the Trump election. But it's just getting to me. We cannot get any real left-wingers in power.

We have to figure out a way to mobilize the people besides just the booths.

I cried when Bill Shorten lost lol. Imagine if one good thing, even a slightly good thing, happened.

poor sphagnum, the rest of the forum aren't sending their best

[BisMarckie]

lol at people getting banned for admitting to have voted for the torys British Union of Fascists.

Can’t wait for elections in Germany and CDU voters to get banned for supporting bigotry.

[benjipwns]

My dream would be Wales kicking the English retirees out and forming a new union with Scotland and Northern Ireland,

Pretty sure by British tradition this would require some kind of ineffective skirmish in a swamp somewhere.

[benjipwns]

They also banned a guy for saying he voted Liberal Democrat.

[BisMarckie]

Little known fact: According to exit polls, single issue Tory voters were mostly concerned with acephobia and enbypobia

[benjipwns]

I sympathize with all UK'ers who didn't want this shit happening.

IMO, maybe everyone in the UK who hates this needs to start a revolution against their government like the citizens of Hong Kong & South Korea did, or move to either Northern Ireland or Scotland. It'll be the only way to send a message that corrupted, right-wing bullshit won't be tolerated.

[BisMarckie]

They also banned a guy for saying he voted Liberal Democrat.

Throwing your vote away on joke parties is a right people died for. 

[benjipwns]

I don't even want to begin to digest this horror right now. Thanks to everybody here, it's been a trip. I'm going to get wasted and do a Ghibli marathon for the next couple of days. Peace.

[benjipwns]

I'm just numb to this. It's basically tradition by now that I wake up and find out that people somewhere in the world were asked "Should normal people or cartoon villains run your country?" and somehow they had a really hard time with the question.

Why do I even pay attention to politics and world news, it's literally only misery, 100% of the time.

[benjipwns]

So, what I'm coming down on is: If you voted Tory, you are dead to me. You are an un-person. In the abstract, I still want and will still fight for an improvement to your material conditions, but in the concrete fuck you and I will not acknowledge you as human.

[benjipwns]

I cried myself to sleep last night and now I regret waking up again.

[BisMarckie]

IT‘S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL BORIS AND HIS ACEPHOBIC MODS MOBS WILL ROAM THE STREETS

[SmokyDave]

I won't pretend to be happy with the election results, but what did these fuckwits think was going to happen if Labour won? All was going to be well and we'd all agree on a simple and happy path forward?

I'm betting most of those whinging drama queens didn't even vote.

I'd type more but a tory has just taken my keyboard, and used it to batter an orphan to death. Now there's goo on some of the keys and it's making me nauseous.

Edit: Also, thanks for curating all this shit Benji, there's no way I could face actually reading a full thread of that pathetic flailing.

[Propagandhim]

So, what I'm coming down on is: If you voted Tory, you are dead to me. You are an un-person. In the abstract, I still want and will still fight for an improvement to your material conditions, but in the concrete fuck you and I will not acknowledge you as human.

Suspicions confirmed: Nearly half of Brits aren't human.

[BisMarckie]

Save some laughs for her when she's in troubled times. I know she's your mother, but she needs raw pain in the same way she's cool with giving it to others. That's the only way these Boomers learn, and even then they'll pull some exceptionalist "but why me" boohoo theatrics.

Appalling to see people shoot themselves in the foot when they claim they're shooting away the """""dangerous""""" people.

Normal, well adjusted people.

[BisMarckie]

I also like it when resetera talks about ‚boomers‘. it sounds like rebellious teens talking about their parents.
But everyone there is 35 years old.

English isn't my first language, so this "inflammatory commentary" that gets you banned on ree is a bit confusing to me, because it obviously means something other than what i originally thought.

[benjipwns]

I had a good cry earlier but I'm ready to fight now.

UK ERA, I'm just an American, but I want to help. Solidarity to all UK citizens who wanted no part of this shitshow. Whatever I can do to help, I will. We can't let these fucks win.

But they just won.  By a landslide.  Crying at another country's election. 

[BisMarckie]

I also cried when the conservatives in San Marino won the election.

[benjipwns]

what did these fuckwits think was going to happen if Labour won?

We have enough wealth to have things like free lifetime education and free broadband.

Can’t wait till we have some form of universal income as well instead of the awful pension and benefit system.

Also no more landlords.

[BisMarckie]

Clearly resetera, Hitler wasn‘t able to form a sentence that coherent in Mein Kampf.

[benjipwns]

If you look the other way when presented with a racist candidate, you're a racist in my book.

[NekoFever]

I'm a Remainer who voted Labour (though not usually a Labour supporter) so I'm bitterly disappointed about the result, but come the fuck on. No one's getting murdered. We'll weather five years of shit and then vote against them in 2024 when Tories start being Tories.

I'm now hoping that Labour pick a competent, likeable, electable leader, so I can vote for them without holding my nose, but who am I kidding? The party members will decide it's all Tony Blair's fault and they need to go lefter.

I thought, after people saw Hillary losing to Trump in 2016, that this kind of thing could never happen in the UK.

The Brexit vote was before Trump's election 

Trump literally brought Nigel Farage on stage and said his election would be "Brexit +++".

User Banned (Duration Pending): Supporting bigotry

Really goes to show how much we live in our bubbles. None of my friends of family would dream of voting Tory. The online spaces I patronise are the same. People on here think I'm right-wing ffs. And yet clearly most of the country feels completely differently.

I'm a Conservative voter but I try and read a wide variety of sources for news to avoid this problem. I post and read here, on 4chan, The Telegraph, The Guardian, FT, The Times, and The Independent. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this site and that's fine by me, but engaging and reading a wide range of opinions, often times going out of my "comfort zone" has certainly helped my world view and opened my eyes to issues I may have glossed over before.

"I'm a conservative voter" gets you banned? 

[NekoFever]

"I'm a conservative voter" gets you banned? 

Are you surprised? They frequently bait out Republicans with the promise of an open discussion and then dogpile and ban them.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory commentary in a sensitive thread

The Conservative Party is not facist.

What is wrong with you people? Read up on real facist parties and movements which you all are seriously downplaying If you really believe that the Tories are facists.

User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory commentary

I have been feeling bad for the people in the UK, but it's wasted concern. It's a self-inflicted wound they got three years ago and then just keep digging in so hard, it's ridiculous. Honestly, at this point, the Brits probably deserve everything bad that will be happening to the majority of them, and it's hilarious how rich their new PM is gonna get with all the shady deals he will be setting up with the vultures heading in to feast (US, Russia, and China). Godspeed, Scotland, get out whenever you can.

[benjipwns]

Gonna unsubscribe from this thread and take a break from reading the news for a bit I think, til the new year maybe.

Going to focus on what I can do as an individual to improve things for now, maybe look into helping charities more with donations and volunteering.

[Ghoul]

funny story, so at work we did a toy collection for the salvation army, and you'll never guess what happened next, one of the more liberal members of staff (she's bi) went and complained
because of them being anti LGBT when asked if they'd like to do something different, they said no, but you guys should had not done the toy drive and done what I said "clothes for the homeless instead"
So basically, fuck you for doing a nice thing for kids who are in need, but am I fuck going to do something myself for a cause I believe in.

LMAO

[benjipwns]

okay I figured out part of the "shock" that confused me: earlier in the thread they had hyped themselves up because "turnout was up" with lots of Twitter shots of long lines, and speculation about the number of youths, and also somebody tweeted that if you adjusted one of the polls to have a higher Labour turnout it showed a tie rather than 10 point Tory lead which was good news thanks to the huge turnout, also they spent pages telling all kinds of stories about how packed and excited everyone was for Labour everywhere they went to vote

and now it turns out that turnout was down from the last two elections

The Salvation Army also collects clothes for the homeless. Happy to help.

But my Twitter timeline was full of the same people saying the same shit.  How can this be?

Most people still haven‘t figured out that twitter is not an indicator of the real world.
It is the same in marketing, everyone talks about social media engagement and all that jazz and wonders why their stuff didn‘t sell even after they got a million likes on twitter.

[Ghoul]

Also the way twitter works basically you curate your own nation basically and only follow what you want to see, so from that it would appear that the world is working out for you.
I mean you block the baddies that have a different view to you and you only follow, like and Retweet what you and your followers want to see.
So whenever something happens aka a national thing like an election you then have only the facts*






fact that you created within your little safe echo chamber*

[benjipwns]

that Michelle Obama thread is wild, especially when the one dude says if another talked to him in ALL CAPS in real life he'd wreck their shit

User Banned (1 Week): Rationalising discrimination and bigotry.

You do NOT understand me correctly.


First I am not a Muslim and I'm not telling anyone what they can or can not do. What I am pointing out is the religion itself says no, not me and it doesn't matter what I may think but I have to be tolerant and accepting of a culture or religions rights to do what they believe to be right (within reason) and I think the left has a problem with that. Look man I'm not trying to be anyone's judge and I'm damn sure no bigot I'm just trying to listen. I'm a black man and Lord knows I have my own problems in a system designed to oppress and keep me tandem to poverty for generations.

Maybe my example was bad, forgive me it made sense in my head.

OH WAIT, username change...

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing LGBT Representation as an Agenda; Prior Severe Ban for Rationalizing Bigotry

Thank God. I'm so sick of agenda.

[BisMarckie]

Corbyn was the only politician I've ever believed. I still believe in him, even though his career is over. I don't blame him for this loss, he did the best anyone could.

Him?

[BisMarckie]

i think labour scare-mongering so much in the election about the NHS has been an extra disaster as it’s completely failed as an electoral strategy but has succeeded in making a lot of labour voters very scared and anxious

worth pointing out that the tory manifesto really does commit to a lot of extra NHS spending for the future, unlike osborne and hammond, the costs of extra privatisation are stupid but relatively small compared to the billions going in (like under new labour where they spent so much it didn’t matter that pfi was inefficient) and the stuff about trump just means extra pharmaceutical down the line costs not selling off the nhs entirely. by 2024 the nhs will probably be in better state than now.

That’s gonna be a ban I think.

I've asked the agency to devote more resources to the desktop issues. Thank you for the reports, they are helping.

On Chrome, both desktop and Android mobile, I am getting full page redirects to some fake Comcast website about winning something. Redirects happen almost any time I click a thread on ResetEra.

Yea it's back on my end also, chrome android.

cheers, but i'm not sure this helped me 

i guess my main gripe is still the part where encouraging a violent coup after a democratic election that went the wrong way doesn't qualify
