One has to think what the left’s ‘ideal human’ actually looks like. A materialist black transgender polymorph?

Concerning the political positions of Leftists, the rule of thumb is always this: if the position in question will advance the civilization of white male gentiles, it must be destroyed. If it does not advance the civilization of white male gentiles, it is ignored. If it hinders the advance of the civilization of white male gentiles, it must be celebrated.

Quick correction: the “drinking class” is never used to refer to the “working class”, but rather the wealthy layabouts of the english upper classes.
The phrase was invented as a reversal of “drink is the curse of the working class” to mock the wealthy cultural elites who were hypocritically demanding prohibition for the lower classes. So your last line has it pretty much backward.

Couple of random points of context.

The Sun is the best-selling newspaper in the country, by a large margin. Compared to a niche publication like The Guardian, it’s ubiquitous. I don’t have the figures to hand, but I think it has 10 – 20 times the circulation. The Mirror and the Mail are The Sun’s competition.

The Times reported the Rochdale situation heavily some years ago. According to the report published this week, the council saw no need to act on the reports, because The Times is published by Murdoch.

I think it’s more a great example of modernity eating itself. G.K Chesterton wrote a very good piece on things like this but I can’t remember what it was called. Modern was in continuously undermining his own ideology.

If anyone’s expecting me to throw my support behind a newspaper that publishes softcore porn just inside its front cover, the answer is no. Sorry, I’m not going to reflexively support something just because some liberal someplace doesn’t like it. Yes, I get it – the left has become everything they once claimed to oppose. It’s a good point, and worth making, and I’m glad you made it. Still, The Sun is shit, topless women have no place on the pages of a newspaper, and I’m not going to say otherwise

“Kerfuffle, Kerfluffle”

“Veronica, who grew up in Liverpool, England, has noticed that kerfuffle is a favorite term among American journalists talking about political situations, though it’s much more common across the pond. This word for a disturbance or a bother comes from Scotland, but it’s been picked up in the United States, where it’s often pronounced as kerfluffle. “
