Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[Bruce Wayne]

Wasnt until I was in my 30s that I first voted. Expect it’s the same for quite a few others on here as well.

Aye, quite probably. Just you can't grumble about not being represented if you don't vote. That's the only currency that ultimately matters.

“Generation Sick Note”

They’ve pushed young people to their limits and taken away their freedom, laden them with crippling mental illnesses, all to enrich themselves.

Not content with years of systematic neglect, the Tories are blaming the country’s problems on the young and disabled, and the great unwashed lap it up.

I’ve already seen evidence of an increase of abuse towards disabled people since the onslaught started late last year.

I’ll tolerate a lot of things, but when people start attacking YOU for your life being crap then you’re pushing people to their limits. People have nowhere else to go.

I must admit, as someone who has tried so hard to get back to normal after a serious injury this has angered me. I’m starting to feel a bit rioty.

I see clever Lee Anderson is doubling down on his outburst claiming "when you're right, you should never apologise".

Or thick Lee, or thick. Or mean spirited and opportunistic. Take your pick.

There was a radio show on bbc4 a couple of weeks a go alt right or something it was called .
The right wing veiws was actually growing among the younger folk.
Intresting program .

They appeal to the working class, gym going, Montitrex wearing white youth.

These are the lads that not so long ago, would`ve followed their dads, brothers, uncles, into the factories, the docks, the railways etc and would`ve voted Labour all their life.

But they now leave school to live a life of ducking and diving, making money where they can and take their influences off right wing grifters on social media.

Warsi "I always thought Paul was of the sane middle ground of the party", I need a sit down and a drink of something strong.

Surprised they havnt long binned him.
Suppose there isn't a natural challenger at the moment,
Couple of loud loons making a bit of noise but nobody you can see being a leader among them.

No point in replacing him, Tories know they're getting obliterated next election, he might as well be the captain of the ship when that happens

Reckon the hope was for Mordant, however, her brother has put an end to that as he played around with the wrong type of sword.

…..this Conservative Party have lurched much more to the right than Labour did to the left under Corbyn. Not sure why this isn’t being highlighted as I think right wing extremism is actually quite dangerous.

Right wing extremism isn't brown enough, doesn't play with brexit voters

I've written this carefully as I don't want it to be interpreted in the wrong way. Also ended up being a lot longer than intended.


There is absolutely no doubt that the growing number of right-wing views amongst young men is heavily attributed to the likes of Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson. The market has been created and it's just a money train now. It's easy enough to get on board if you say the right things. They've tapped in to the idea that young men (rightly or wrongly), feel they have been forgotten about in society. These grifters have taken full advantage and weaponised it for their personal gain.

I used to follow a guy on Instagram called Joey Swole. Initially, he was calling out women who'd posted videos of men 'staring' at them whilst in the gym. After a few weeks I started to notice a pattern where he'd thrash the woman for posting the video but would gloss over the fact that the man was indeed being overbearing and/or in the women's personal space without good reason. It became clear he was in it for the grift, and it started off a narrative of "girls wear nothing in the gym to make gym creep videos for Tik Tok videos".

I think social media has made a lot of men resent women and the attention they get. They often peddle the idea that (particularly attractive) women have it easy in life. The #MeToo movement where it turned out women didn't like their arses being randomly smacked (not to trivialise the matter) really upset people. Intimidation was a tactic used by so many men for so long and they don't know any other way.

This is just an observation and not an opinion of mine, but I have noticed a growing trend in that more and more young men aren't even attempting to date, and it's one of many factors of a declining birth rate. Many feel that dating apps have elevated women's 'worth', and men feel like they have to put in a disproportional amount of effort only to be ignored. Women now 'expect too much', and a lot of men feel like marriage and children is a huge risk which could ruin them if it fails. Rightly or wrongly, women are generally treated more favourably by courts if in the case of a divorce.

We've all been rejected by women (or men), but until relatively recently we didn't have worldwide chat rooms and forums to discuss it all. These, unfortunately, are the places where echo chambers form. People try to outdo each other with shock value and to compete for the same bit of air. People can only consume so much content, so it's a constant fight.

I hope this came across the way I intended. It's an absolute mess. I can only see society getting worse before it gets better.

two brothers, so far as I can find one got caught chatting up a 12 and a 14 year old girl and sharing explicit photos with the eldest, the children were in fact police. The other brother labelled boris' government the most anti lgbt government of the modern age. Then it turns out the only brexit supporter in the mordaunt family was her. so far as damaged goods go, she's still fairly in tact compared to the rest of the party.

Very very difficult to get past this part I'm afraid.

In all seriousness a lot of your observations sound aligned with the stuff I've read and heard on the incel issue in the states, contrapoints did some really good takes on it.
