I’m rewatching it again, this time with my girlfriend because she hasn’t seen it yet. We’re currently 3/4 of the way through Matt Smith’s doctor.
So maybe this time he will grow on me.

Potentially. However, I’m a very argumentative person, and I have a very hard time biting my tongue. So for me, it’s just not worth the risk to begin with.
And then you promptly split the vote, allowing a party ideologically furthest from you to dominate.
Ah, that would explain it. I checked out once Capaldi joined.
Yeah. There is a time and place, you gotta choose your battles. That was very much not one of them.
That must have been the old Doctor Who, because I don’t remember seeing an episode like that.
But that’s a very Doctor Who style plot line lol
but either one of two things is true:
It’s worse. It’s both, which is in part why third parties don’t ever work.
And the solution is election reform, not yelling “just vote for what you believe”. Because people just voting for what they believe causes spoiler candidates to spoil elections.
we’d probably see a third party in American politics…
No, we wouldn’t. There are still people who’s closest candidate is one of the two main parties.
By the time you knock a hole in the wall with your own body, you’re gonna be a bloody pulp.
Maybe we shouldn’t be using an economic system whose immune system has historically lead to genocide, especially in an age where nukes are now a thing.
So you’re jumping to conclusions.
They’re not even saying everything is capitalism though.
(A very good piece of dystopia fiction)
1hr commute both ways to work
A jury at Bradford Crown Court has defied a judge’s attempts to rule out any legal argument about the imperative of disrupting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and has refused to convict four Palestine Action ‘actionists’ who caused over half a million pounds’ worth of damage to a Teledyne weapons factory supplying missile parts to Israel.
Bravo. I hope more follow in their footsteps.
GPU/ticket scalpers take on a risk too. But we don’t give a shit about them getting fucked by the risk, neither should we give a shit about landlords getting fucked. They’re no different than scalpers.
But what’s worse is, usually they never take on risk to begin with. Insurance companies take on the risk of actual damage. Banks take on some of the risk from the mortgage.
And usually, these landlords are operating under LLCs of some variety. So even if things went belly up, the fat cats get golden parachutes and the maintenance people get fucked.
Landlords are a scurge, and need to be ended as a social class.
There is that as well. There is no convincing a CEO that capitalism bad. So he can get bent before I have a conversation with him.

I’ll have to take your word for it on the strength of messaging, as I haven’t read LeGuin yet. But it’s definitely been added to my reading list.
I like politics/religion/etc as topics well enough, but usually never enough to read about on their own as a book. It just doesn’t sit well with me.
But add a bit of science fiction to it? That god damn I’m on board. It’s like taking meds with a bit of honey for me. So when I find authors that explore things and have some fun with it, I jump at the chance.
Do you mean working elsewhere, with elsewhere being other levels of government, or elsewhere being other countries?
Either way I disagree, but I want clarification first.
