Politically Enraged

We're all Politically Selfish

Politically Enraged ·

2023/10/24

We are all politically selfish but we can try not to be- part of that comes by embracing the truth of our political views' limitations and confronting bad behaviour in our political circles. Ultimately, we can deal with it by being honest about where we stand and with whom. If you don't withdraw support for bad behaviour in your political spheres, are you not contributing to the problems of it?Maybe listening to those who raise concerns about your political stances is how to strengthen and

Political lying is dangerous

Politically Enraged ·

2023/10/03

Watching clips from the tory conference has only shored up my fears that political lying is utterly normalised in the UK. The concern that we cannot trust our elected representatives to tell us the truth on issues we care about is utter madness- so why aren't more people up in arms. In Peter Obornes book about political lying, he attributes its acceleration to Trump and Johnson. But those men take advantage of an inherent flaw in society- that many people are so desperately wedded to right wing

Rachel Reeves was recently on LBC answering people's questions, and after being schooled by a friend of mine who you should follow everywhere @nojustice she was asked why she was using tory policy to fight back against tory problems, to which she responded with tory rhetoric- Reeves said she wants to "grow the economy to fight inequality"- where have we heard that before? Oh yes, Liz Truss and her magic growing pie! The time is approaching to understand the nuts and bolts of fiscal

What if I'm right

Politically Enraged ·

2023/08/14

Two weeks ago I said I wouldn't vote for a party who endorses transphobia. It's not for me to teach people why a weak stance on equality is a bad look for a political party of any stripe, plus it's a waste of time- those disingenuous enough to claim there isn't a valid, and wide point there, are fully cognisant of my reasoning- they just reject it because they fear it applies to them. But I want to pose a question in today's episode- what if I'm right? I mention labour's

Politically Enraged ·

2023/08/07

Voting for parties who are pro minorities isn't tory enabling, it's sending a message to anti minority parties that they don't get support if they don't back minority rights and protections. The simpering folk who think UK labour showing up at pride with fancy t shirts is a sign they're pro minority are fools. Labour hasn't proved for a long time that it's on the side of LGBT+ people and I knew that if they didn't improve, it would become a wedge issue for me. Their

2023/07/14

Lying has been mainstreamed by politics, with people on the individual level convinced that they can lie and mislead with impunity- everything from why the economy is ruined to who is sleeping with who to what the passcode to a phone is- culture and politics are both sticky with lies.

The 'long game'

Politically Enraged ·

2023/07/04

There's two things I loathe from people more of my political leaning- those who talk about right wing appeasement being a long game, and those who think that lowering their standards to "anyone but the tories" is a helpful political stance. Now, more than ever, we need to be relentlessly pressuring politicians to do what we need them to. A failure at this point to make brave, necessary changes to everything from economy to media mismanagement of fact, will lead to a worsening of the

Are you an "ally"- or an ally?

Politically Enraged ·

2023/06/07

There's this perception that allyship is easy, when genuine allyship is fraught with making mistakes and taking a genuine, hard look at yourself and asking if you might consciously or unconsciously perpetuate some of the cruelties you may claim to stand against. There's also a perception that it's all fun and games. Allyship sometimes means taking the hatred, vitriol and insanity that comes with standing with minoritised people. This pride month has been so disappointing- seeing Oxfam

S2 Episode 6 - Ethics, morals, politics and the UK

Politically Enraged ·

2023/05/29

We are objectively in an ethical crisis when it comes to British politics. From Braverman's ongoing dishonesty about Rwanda and speeding to Sunak and Johnson's repeated lawbreaking. The problem is the splash damage that their foolishness causes. We're struggling with myriad issues in the UK and we can't even talk about how to navigate these crises because we're fixated on the never ending stream of scandal- and when we do, finally, exhausted, wade our way to the centre, the

I don't care whose mouth conservatism comes out of, it's bad. Seems to me it's also the only option we have in the UK right now, being as everyone thinks it's simply marvellous and I'm fed up of this being the only perceived option. Labour's current stances on things like immigration, NHS privatisation, culture war rhetoric, brexit- all are huge concerns to me, and whilst I'm not a fool and know that a labour government wouldn't be as much of a chaos filled train

S2 E4: Raab-ing it in

Politically Enraged ·

2023/04/22

Dominic Raab is a well known political liability: he's long rumoured to be a human arseclown, but the bullying report forcing him to actually suffer some recompense must have come as a shock. I'm so used to these people getting away with things I nearly fell off my chair when the news broke: but it leads to what we all know is coming: The civil service is too "w*ke", too politically correct and too full of do gooders to get things done. My riposte is: if you can't govern

2023/04/11

Do you think right wingers in the UK are totally unaware of the fact that they always get what they want? They had to cheat, keeping our shitty voting system in place in order to do so in the last election; but regardless, they always win and they always whine about it. Every day we get to hear "yes, we are in charge of every aspect of British economy and culture and we're miserable about it- BUT...", as though the increasing demand for further right politics and cultural alignment is

Season 2, Episode 2: The problem with "leftiness"

Politically Enraged ·

2023/04/05

I'm so tired of fighting with people I agree with or losing support for people because of their behaviours. Seeing people thinking it's ok to be out and out xenophobic but it's ok because you're a Lexiteer, deflecting responsibility for your behaviours because you can't possibly be a bad person, right? Or just out and out partaking in bad behaviour under the smokescreen of "being a left winger". The right is a seething cesspit of idiocy. But the left is caught

I am finding it so hard to engage with politics, because my hope for better is hanging by a thread. I want to recover, I want to get back to it, and I will. But for now, if you're able to keep fighting do it and I'll join you when I can. Don't give up because deep down, I know better is possible. I just need the chemicals in my brain to agree!

2022/10/06

I met Aid because we both talk about politics and try to cope with madness using humour. We're in a small closed group of political chatterboxes and we mostly spend the day sending each other news articles and calling various political figures knob cheeses. But I like talking to Aid because we also bounce different ideas off each other even if we don't agree. Today we talked about... well, *gestures wildly at the flaming world*.

Truss and Kwarteng are amazing. Not in the good way, in the "I'm sat watching in amazement as the country implodes" kind of way. They do love the "technically we've only been in charge for 21 days" thing but this is the same inane sputtering set of guttural death rattlers who have been burping in the face of the British public for 12 years and 9 months: If they were a child, they'd be old enough to work in one of Jacob Rees-Moggs teenage workhouses. Their economic plans will decimate the UK. Rupa

The country has gone absolutely mad. The queen passed away which is sad in that "someone died and that's never nice" way, but people are being LEGALLY PREVENTED BY FEAR from expressing any feelings to the contrary about both that, and about her royal successor, K...Ki...King Charles............... Eurgh. But this fits into a larger problem the UK has quietly faced forever; an aggrandised sense of how well we do independence. We lean heavy on regressive governments who make our lives worse, on

I am exhausted lately. Everywhere I turn, people I'm friends with, people I admire, people I have passing acquaintance with, fighting. The a la carte these days seems to be "fight the wrong people". TERFS blame trans people for the crimes of cis men. Far left people blame Starmer for tory policy. Center left people blame laissez faire politicos for being inspired by, and therefore relentlessly backing Corbyn in spite of any flaws that emerge. The left is a bloodbath of Yharnam scale.

As a geek it's probably a real indictment for me to call someone cool but- Darren is cool. He's a South African internet savant who pretty effortlessly created content to make you think. I found him randomly on Tiktok talking about racial disparity and instantly knew I had to get him on the podcast at some point and here it is! Darren's mindset is all too rare as someone who seems to have a real handle on why everything is so messed up, but actually seems to know how we move through it into
