Labour Party Landslide Imminent..

As the political landscape continues to shift and evolve, there's a growing sense of déjà vu reminiscent of the historic 1997 General Election. Back then, the Labour Party, under the leadership of Tony Blair, achieved a monumental landslide victory, ending 18 years of Conservative rule. Fast forward to the present day, and many political pundits are speculating whether we're on the brink of witnessing a similar political upheaval.

The current state of affairs certainly seems to be favouring the Labour Party. Which I am wholeheartedly against but let’s face simple facts with widespread dissatisfaction over the Conservative government's handling of various issues ranging from the economy to english channel migrant crossings, there's a palpable sense of disillusionment among voters. I mean they don’t even act like “proper” conservatives. In all truth I can’t tell them apart anymore. Cause let’s face it we obviously are locked in a two party system for the foreseeable future.

As I have gotten older I won’t lie I have grown extremely cynical about politics and yes I do have some very strong views by some. I have always quoted the great classical Greek philosopher Plato “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” But here’s the sad blunt truth is my party the Conservative Party have been in power longer than any party since the war. We need to show that we are not stagnating, that we are capable of self-renewal sadly that isn’t happening at all. It’s making me question. “Why should I bother to vote anymore?”

Furthermore, the Conservative Party's internal divisions and scandals have further eroded confidence in their ability to govern effectively. From controversies surrounding leadership decisions to accusations of cronyism and corruption, the Tories are grappling with internal strife that threatens to undermine their electoral prospects. Against this backdrop, Labour appears as a beacon of stability and integrity, offering a viable alternative to the status quo. I feel no compunction at all they have well and truly brought all of this upon themselves.

Another crucial factor working in Labour's favour is the shifting demographics of the electorate. As younger, more diverse voters come of age, they bring with them a set of values and priorities that align closely with Labour's progressive platform. Issues such as climate change, social equality, and healthcare resonate strongly with this demographic, providing Labour with a natural advantage in winning their support. Younger voters most seem to be very naive about politics.

Of course, it's important to acknowledge that predicting election outcomes is always fraught with uncertainty. Political landscapes can change rapidly, and unforeseen events or developments could alter the trajectory of the race. Nevertheless, if current trends persist, it's not difficult to envision a scenario where Labour secures a landslide victory reminiscent of 1997. I mean I could be wrong and maybe just maybe the Conservatives will be reelected to power.

In conclusion, the parallels between the present moment and the historic 1997 General Election are striking. The writing is on the wall. With the Labour Party gaining momentum and the Conservative Party facing mounting challenges, the stage seems set for a seismic shift in British politics. While nothing is certain in politics, one thing is clear: the winds of change are blowing, and come election day, we may witness a decisive mandate for Labour that reshapes the course of the nation. As for myself when the time comes. I shall be voting for the Reform Party led by Richard Tice.

One more thing…

Never forget that exercising your right to vote are crucial steps toward making a difference. I firmly believe in that.

Swing States in 2024 Presidential Election

Swing States in the 2024 Presidential Election Georgia and Arizona are predicted to be among the closest contenders in the power rankings in the 2024 presidential election. This state was once a Republican stronghold. Wisconsin, Nevada and Pennsylvania have flipped red and blue over the past few years, so it’s been difficult to figure out who enrolled voters there will choose in 2024. “The…

Keep making the Binghorse. We gotta ward off people from entering this fandom. We need to keep it pure. I fr don't want this fandom to become famous. I'm scared that there will be toxic fans left and right.

HAHA I absolutely understand the sentiment. I feel a bit contradictory since I want more people to appreciate SVSSS, but the at the same time I like small tight knit communities and I personally can’t handle large fandoms whatsoever. 😭

Although I do feel as though describing the SVSSS as pure is very funny for how lawless this fandom is. But behavior wise, it is definitely a very positive and supportive space!! I haven’t met anyone or seen anything unpleasant since I’ve entered the fandom. Albeit, it’s only been a few months since I’ve started interacting with the fandom, and over half a year since I first read SVSSS, so I have no clue what horror stories the SVSSS fandom has. (I honestly haven’t interacted with that many SVSSS fans tbh…. Even though I want to.)

In addition, funny enough, I feel as though the book almost acts as its own barrier of entry. SVSSS isn’t the type of book you can read once unless you’re good at reading against the grain and noticing all the nuances and subtext. I know the first time I read SVSSS, SVSSS disturbed and confused me so badly. I talked to a few other people who read SVSSS once, who said that LBH and SQQ’s relationship felt like Stockholm syndrome. But people who’ve read SVSSS several times will know, that is not the case, and that SQQ is an INSANELY UNRELIABLE narrator.

I honestly find it funny how effective Binghorse or all the other skin creatures is at filtering toxic fans.😂

There’s always a general reaction to the skin creatures: “Omg, cute!!”, “wtf, but I like it”, “wtf”. Or getting blocked, or death threats. (I haven’t received any…? I don’t think…? One message I received is definitely debatable since I can’t tell if it’s sarcastic or not….😭)

But regardless, I’ll definitely keep drawing Binghorse!!! It’s actually really enjoyable!

well, this has been a depressing night so far

broke: Souls games need less female characters connected with themes of caring, softness, sacrifice, love/heartbreak, nurturing and motherhood because players are dumb and they might decide that it is what women should do if not explained 50 times that they have a choice uwu

woke: Souls games need MORE MALE characters connected with themes of caring, softness, sacrifice, love/heartbreak, nurturing and FATHERHOOD because the message of humans being capable of wholesome feelings in general is better than shifting it to just one gender

[woozapooza]

I'm trying to phrase this carefully because race/racism and gender/sexism don't function exactly the same (for one thing, I do think that sexism rebounds on men more than racism rebounds on white people) so they can't be exactly equated, but it is interesting to see so many people in progressive circles wringing their hands about how men are only shifting to the right because the left is just so goshdarn mean to them, when a lot of these same people (not all of them, but definitely some of them) would never say that white people are only shifting to the right because the left is just so goshdarn mean to them. To be 100% clear, anyone who says that ~the left~ as an entity should be nicer to white people to stop them from being racist (and there are absolutely plenty of people saying exactly that, but it's not a sentiment that I see often on tumblr specifically), is being ridiculous. It's not the job of people of color to bend over backwards trying to placate people who clearly just hate them...AND it's also not the job of women to bend over backwards trying to placate people who clearly just hate us, and it's frustrating to me when people can understand the former but not the latter.

Half the population of the school is muslim. not allowed to pray /during their lunch break/ because students aren't allowed to gather in groups of more than 4, and it might 'threaten inclusion'

[beltsourcookie]

devsis is just grasping at straws trying to decide on what their 'evil' should be

like

the dark lore implications back in 2016ish were a lot better (ex: jam is blood and cookies running because they didnt want to get vored)

then kingdom arrives and just tries to be extra edgy by adding cults and death and in general 'harsher' elements rather than hiding it

and the new beast yeast ep2 feels kinda flat after that

shadow milk or whatever is like not really dark or evil. they are just really silly and good at lying. but everyone else is like treating them as if theyre some SUPER EVIL OPPRESSOR THAT NEEDS TO DIE

yeah spreading misinfo and lying are legit bad things, but devsis acts like shadow milk is the worst-of-the-worst when we literally have strawberry crepe who terrorised an entire village and forced them to live in a barren land

shadow milk's definitely more a design to appeal to silly-edgy blue clowncore aesthetic, but compared to other evil jester/clown characters, shadow milk really isnt as evil and it's kinda ridiculous that the main cast believes them to be horrible

[beginnerblueglass]

I love and respect them all very much, but sometimes it do be like:

Elderly people at church: “Oh we’re too old to be planning all these events and organizing all these ministries. Time for the next generation to take that on!”

The next generation: *takes it on*

Elderly people at church: “No wait not like that”

my hot take is an overlooked reason why webcomics seem to be less experimental and more standardised is just bc people read them on phones now. like the reason the long scrolling 'webtoon' style is so ubiquitous is because its designed to work on a phone. the reason you don't get embedded music/video/games is bc it's harder to implement that in a mobile browser, and it would use more of a reader's data allowance that loading a still image. modern phone screens allow for really high image resolution and people hold them closer to their face than a computer screen would be--so artists that take advantage of that with elaborate, detailed art styles tend to draw in a bigger audience--but phone screens are still small enough that you need to have the experience and knowledge to make your work legible, which further disadvantages beginner artists

whats funny abt the minho isnt hot discourse is that i was vaguing that i didnt find him hot anymore earlier this year. i did this

[yappacadaver]

you can still reblog Raymond with propaganda ykno. the smash blog reblogs propaganda if it's mentioned p regularly

dw anon i have been propagandizing tf out of him in my tags and rbs x'D but what i wanted to do was resubmit him after the waiting period with completely different pics and see how that affected the results :o cause he got a model update and a new ending where his clothes get ripped off exposing his massive tits, and that's what i put in the poll

but like before that ending we were smashing this

which is way more indicative of his character than the promo art i opened with :3c Brian likes to doll him up and expose him for social media clicks but real raymondheads know the truth (he's only got apologies and scary blue puppydog eyes in his arsenal)

[sibblank]

I didnt know it wasnt well known that one of the girls openly crushed on one of the other girls

idk how disattached from the social dogma I am, but if this were 2014 tumblr you wouldn't be able to breathe without someone shoving that fact down your throat

[chipped-chimera]

Just gonna say as an old fart on this webbed site watching your very traumatic teenage years as a social oddity and it's entire aesthetic get swept up in this Y2K 2014? revival is certainly an ... Experience.
