They've been at this for years, as far as I know, this should come as no surprise. But, even though I'm not a UK resident and couldn't vote for them even if I wanted to, it's stuff like this that makes politics for people like me pretty much inaccessible. What the FUCK are you supposed to support or vote for if you're "left leaning" economically, if you're pro-environment etc, but cannot support a shred of this "woke", sexist bullshit? How are people with beliefs like myself supposed to make any sort of change? And how can people or organizations with SOME decent ideas have such terrible, backwards, delusional ones at the same time?

Nobody in the UK sees the Green party as electable anyway. They have their one seat in the HoC and good for them, but they're never going to be in a position to do more than appease Brighton hipsters and talk on the news about environmental stories.

This is where I'm at. It's like, I either vote for people like this, or those who pander to them at the very least, or I vote for people who seem to hate the working poor and affordable healthcare for some ungodly reason. I just... don't understand how those who appear to be on the right side of so many issues are so blatantly wrong on other ones.

This is why we shouldn't have political parties. Systems like this inherently shame nuanced thinking. I've even caught myself questioning whether I must be crazy because the only ones who seem to agree with me on the woke stuff are religious zealots, and I think I'm a fairly independent thinker compared to most.

Exactly. I vote for the people who help the poor; they fuck over other minorities with woke shit and are blatantly anti-science. I vote for the people who go against woke shit, they hate the poor, different minority groups, and are anti-science in a different way.

I relate to leftists when they talk about healthcare and universal income, disability equality and abolishing capitalist, work-driven society. But then they start talking gender and weird social justice, which alienates me and seems so oddly nonsensical compared to their other good ideas. And I relate with right leaning people on topics like social justice, LGBT, etc, I find out they're not actually hateful in that area but just think SJWism is stupid and prioritize "fact over feelings"... but then they are very much against ideas that benefit everybody, like affordable healthcare, and/or they get needlessly emotional and unscientific over something like believing some ethnicities are inherently more violent than another, or make up wild conspiracy theories.

And same here! I've been criticized a lot for seeming to side with religious types, but the sad truth is they're one of the only people saying the logical stuff. Pride isn't for kids. Making sexuality an adult topic is not "homophobia." Etcetc.

The UK Green party has gone to the dogs.They could have gone for a mentally sound transwoman with some empathy and understanding of women (they do exist!) but noooo,they had to push for the "my pronouns are Fae/She/They” and "my identity is “Not a man or a woman” and also “A woman and non-binary” loonie.

This stuff is fucked up. This is a great newsletter, though! Does he do one of these every week? I'll have to check it out.
