Not the main point here but I don't think I've ever heard anyone with any serious combat sport/martial arts experience say they would do anything but run from a 1v3. Bro thinks he's John Wick.

Amnesty are such useless losers. One of their great strengths is it's instant PR suicide to actually take them to court. Call Rowling's bluff in a way individuals never could. Stand for something. Worms.

This is a great example of taking something that is kinda mundane (people hook up at conferences all the time, I've been flirted with at conferences, it's the same rules as everywhere, be normal, back off if it's not reciprocated) and systematising it to the point you come off like a serial killer.

The places where Wilson is too harsh or too ungenerous in her critiques are the best parts. Do you know how boring it would be if she was 100% correct and level headed on every single point? You jokers do not know ball. Cherish the texture, critique the critiques, get nothing productive done today.

Small self-crit on this very good video I made: I refer to alum as a component in leather tanning and while there are extreme cases of that alum being used in food, there is a 'safer' alum that was far more commonly used which is still extremely harmful in large or consistent doses.

Wilson steered the discourse around this movie into a generally very positive direction compared to the bullshit before about whether it's white genocide if I have to see a black person in a film, but I have some thoughts on this point in particular.

This is extremely bad even for the UK. Even if this gets dropped (which if anything still even remotely functions in our legal system it will), this is sheer intimidation against prospective lawyers deciding whether or not to take jobs defending people being politically persecuted in this country.

A very underdiscussed element of quality of life is this kind of psychological bombardment. Being treated like a criminal when you interact with businesses, public spaces being designed for moving through and not being in, everything being cheap, shitty, and flimsy.

One thing I will say is I do like the Trojan Horse as an original sin myth and I'm glad that the movie leaned on that hard. Couldn't help but notice the curious inversion of 'to save one life is to save the world' as well, in that burning Troy is burning the world.

Counterpoint: run on the execution of all other politicians and get 99% of the vote
