The death of satire is now complete

What is the declaration?

What worries me is that these are the people who should be holding the Government to account. Instead they have chosen to fart about demonstrating they are so woke they're sleep deprived and meanwhile no-one is representing any of us.

And then another part of me thinks, crack on guys. Put it right out in the open, make this into a giant public fuss, and the faster the better, because the massive majority of the general public will shift from 'I can't be buggered with this nonsense' to 'fuck this'.

I feel something like this too, like parts of society, maybe all of it, have been picking up bad habits of thought and need something to really knock them off their high horse. People had begun to forget how things go wrong.

If we are lucky, something will happen big enough that no one will be able to deny it - unfortunately I suspect it will be related to a whole lot of people being damaged. If we aren't lucky, I don't know. I don't really want to think about it.

Have you got a link to the declaration?

I'm with your there, mate. It's like living in a Philip K Dick novel. Is everyone on glue? Is this like the Salem Witch Trials and we'll find out years later that there was an outbreak of ergot poisoning?

It's a fascinating case study in how easily people can be persuaded to lie if they think it's in their best interests to do so and all, but still, I'm ready for this massive experiment in collective social manipulation to stop now.

^^ oh, or should that have been literal violence to toes? I can’t keep up tbh.

Appendixes rights are toes rights. If you oppose this then you’re clearly toephobic and contributing literal violence to appendixes.

I read that declaration and found it hard to believe that prominent women in the party had signed it. I had to wonder whether they read it to the end before they did so.

What do they see when looking at it? I see a list of near outrageous demands, and an astonishing slur at the end against women’s groups. How can anyone read it and think it reasonable?

It passes me...

There are also people who go on Mumsnet to make grand "Statements" where I still am not 100% sure if they mean literally anything they've posted or they want a 'wind them up and let them go' thread...

But it worked so well for Jo Swinson and the LibDems! Oh, wait ...

You know its not just you when there's a name for it;

''Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.''

It's beyond barmy. Part of me is thinking that these stupid fools will not stop until they've successfully driven society to full blown civil war. Immigration, Brexit, this, every damn issue that led to them losing the election, they seem utterly fixated on creating aggressive division, bad feeling and anger. How exactly do they think this is going to lead anywhere positive, and if they ever did actually win an election on this lunacy, what do they intend to do with the bits of the electorate they've declared untouchable and illegal? Gulags? Seriously?
