Comment on ultra-left crybaby luddites hate it when you use AI on the job
pieguy@lemmy.sdf.org 18 hours ago Well someone doesn’t know their Westminster-style parliamentary conventions!
In the Westminster parliamentary tradition, those MPs who are part of the governing party/coalition sit on the right side of the chamber relative to the speaker and are known as “His Majesty’s Government”. Those MPs who are not part of the governing party/coalition sit on the left side of the chamber and are called “His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition”.
This is the only definition of “left/right” in politics that I’m willing to recognize because the more common one reduces the complexity of political thought to a fucking line and is thus bad and should feel bad.

I’ve been a big World Wars buff since ever, and for the longest time I thought HMS in names of warships was something like Humongous Military Ship. When I found out what the HMS actually stood for, it was like I was born again. I also like how it can be HIS or HER, so they don’t have to rename anything. The empire has always been very progressive.
That’s a way to look at it
