The whole point of reform is, you know, we could go back to this, right, which is we've spent 40 years, really, in the depths of this increasingly radicalized, manufactured culture war about anything that people who live in cities and are below the age of skeleton tend to believe is just, you know, reactively gainsade.

And that reform exists as the,

and so even going back one step further, that the way that politics has worked,

especially in this country and the states as well, to a lesser extent in Canada,

to a greater extent to Australia even, is this march of people on the right saying,

I can do just a little more. I can do just a little more, but I'm still going to have to run the state. I can do just a little more. I can do just a little more,

but I'm still going to have to run the state. I can do just a little more, but I'm still going to have to run the state. And at every turn, the moment they come up against, okay, I can't do any more than this, because like, if we do, you know, set up militarized checkpoints at every, at every bathroom, it will cost quite a bit of money, right?

Like, they say they stop there.

But the problem is, up militarized checkpoints at every, at every bathroom, it will cost quite a bit of money,

right? Like, they stop there. But the problem is, is that the right-wing parties have always

used this culture war stuff to be like, I will be the avatar of your anger that is getting

whipped up by all the usual sources. I will work out your anger on people the state deems

worthy of targeting with it. And so the point really is just, is to be able to say to, you know, again, these like pensioners in Kent, right? The point is to be able to say, to reform is to say, oh, the Tories failed. They didn't deport everybody with a tan. They didn't like, you know, make trans people wear a special chime. You know, they didn't do

any of that stuff. Guess what? We will. And unfortunately, again, as reform starts being like,

okay, well, we actually do want to kind of govern. We don't just, we have to like balance the needs

of governing with our electoral mandate of basically do a sort of scorched earth victory in the

culture war is that as soon as they come up against the real problem of actually having to do something, immediately Rupert Lowe is like, they're woke, they're woke, they're the same as the Tories, everyone, everyone's woke because they're not going to, they won't burn and salt the land in the victory of the culture of the culture war. It's like to me, I was thinking about stuff in America where there's an eventual point at which things when they actually get put into action wind up being revealed to be terrible ideas, which does not mean that the the people porting these or arguing for them are going to acknowledge that. But like, it just becomes obvious that it's not working and that it's a huge boondoggle. And in this case, all I can think of is like,

J.K. Rowling is basically demanding that Britain build the toilet hyperloop. It's like there will be sexual Xenadoo. There will be a fucking gender. There will be a gender palace that everyone has to report to. Like, it's so weird. And I just, I feel like the thing that's so weird about it in the case, these sorts of things is that like America is doing it in its own way about some, some similar topics and some different ones, but it feels as though like there's never a sort of like, oh, well, you know, no one is ever willing to go take a rolling and be like Steiner's attack didn't happen. You know what I mean? Like it's, I mean, I just bring her up as kind of the, she's kind of the, I don't know,

synecta key for all of the rest of them because like, it's, I mean, I just bring her up as kind of the, she's kind of the, I don't know,

synecdochie for all of the rest of them because like, she's the loudest and the most cashed up.

So it's so weird, man. Yeah. Well, it's also, it's like, sometimes reform will do this and they'll be like, yeah, but that's ballucs. we should just nationalize the rails or something like that.

Will they?
