ParticipantPerhaps. Though I wonder how much of a factor the ‘vaccine bounce’ is playing in all of this.

ParticipantA more interesting article here, mentioning non-unionised wildcats that have been happening at other Amazon facilities

ParticipantMy advice would be to avoid these kind of social media “discussions”, nobody ever changed their mind that way. It’s just timewasting rather than useful activity.

ParticipantThomas Moore may have been slightly annoying but when there’s only four people posting to a forum do we really have to worry about derailment? Not that I particularly care, this is really just a form of procrastination for me.

Participant“The traditional view of an educated, historically aware working class must then be abandoned, to be replaced with a different scenario: some kind of spontaneous explosion whereby the historically ignorant become united through necessity, not knowledge.”
I think that’s what they call “communisation” these days..

ParticipantCuddling is now considered a form of sex.
I’m not sure who told you that, but I think they may have been trying to fob you off!

Participantcompetitive and serious? Not just play and fun?
I’m sure those who engage in “competitive and serious” sport get something out of it because it is competitive and serious that they wouldn’t if it was not. As to if people in the future would choose to organise sport in this way or not – I don’t really care!

ParticipantWhy shouldn’t sports be unisex?
I don’t think anyone has a problem with people choosing to form unisex sporting leagues.
Some people have a problem with trans-women being admitted into women leagues in that it goes against the point of wanting such leagues in the first place. I.e to compensate for the fact that people born male tend to be taller, heavier and have a higher muscle mass etc.

Participantcan’t we all just take a neutral stance?
Depends who you mean by “we all”. I’m not sure if the socialist party needs to take a position one way or another. But there are seemingly insoluble conflicts of interest here, I don’t think everyone will ever agree.
What jars me off is the “we are morally correct and if you disagree you are a fascist” brigade.

ParticipantIs this the same group as was active in the 1990s in various attempts to stop motorways and by-passes being built (all of which failed)? We even debated with them.
No. That group doesn’t exist anymore and hasn’t for a long time. This new group is called reclaim *these* streeets.
DJP
ParticipantSuch as?
Well “Woke” for starters!

ParticipantI’d be careful about uncritically using smear terms used by the alt-right.

Participanthow do you explain the ubiquity of the meaningless crap that characterizes popular music today?
Maybe this one should go in the old people moaning about the young thread-

ParticipantYoung people? Getting into a debate with them is definitely a step too far!
On the subject of anniversaries, It’s 150 years since the Paris Commune this year too. Lots of events happening over the spring. Not sure if travel will be allowed by then though…
