Late stage capitalism

[Dr. Medulla]

Bouncing off what Flex said, her case strikes me, too, as a critique of that kind of vulgar, liberal feminism, where it goes from originally criticism of an exploitative, marginalizing, demeaning system to a celebration of women who can succeed within and despite it. It's the perversity of calling Hillary Clinton a feminist because she's a woman who has scaled the ladder of power and can be just as nasty and reprehensible as a man. Feminism that isn't radical just means encouraging women to become exploiters in their own right.

I believe they refer to that as "the yassification of Margaret Thatcher"

AKA the Hitchens Erection.

In the strictest of senses, yes, she made meaningful change. So did Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao. "Let us now praise famous monsters" never seems to go out of style.

And not done on a whim obviously, but as part of a political strategy they see as paying some kind of dividend. Whatever that says.

Come the actual campaign, he'll be accusing the Tories of betraying her legacy.

Personally I can't wait for the "There is no society" redux as the eve of election clincher speech.

Complete with Satanic bellowing laughter.

Figures probably out of date by now but something like 90% of the US media is owned by 6 corporations while 80% of the UK media is owned by 5 billionaires so I would say it is catastrophically true in that instance.

Very true. Indeed I recall celebrating the fact, after Tony Blair had personally intervened to block legislation targetting Rupert Murdoch's aggressive price cutting policies - entirely 100% co-incidentally after Rupes had helped him win the 1997 election - that I could now purchase my Currant Bun daily for the super soaraway price of 10p.

The true measure of freedom is how cheap socks are. It's in the Bible, people!

You can spot a Satanist by their alpaca socks.

(Note: I actually do wear alpaca socks because I'm a fancy boy.)

I bought a 3 pair set of alpacas for 20 quid or a bit more a few months back and I'll happily go to hell for the comfort they give me. Socks are possibly the one item of apparel I resist scrimping on as no other bodily area has consistently caused me so much bother which, on the whole, doesn't seem the worst complaint one could have.
