Oh yeah, it's not like the population is overwhelmed by conservative propaganda courtesy of Merdoch and co who basically own the government and have actively worked to destroy the chances for any real alternative, or that the education and social systems haven't been gutted intentionally to leave people desperate and and without critical thinking skills (making them easy targets for the right who superficially co-opt leftist ideas to make themselves appealing exactly to that demographic).
Never mind that the public didn't even get a say in the past 3 prime ministers because they were voted in via internal party elections, not general elections, and before that they were being elected in by a very thin margin (and when you consider voting turn out, those who voted for them absolutely do not represent the majority of the population).
But hey, why think critically yourself when it's so much easier to lazily point the finger at the little person on the street, rather than at those making the rules for them (rules designed, of course, to maintain the status quo). 🙄

I mean, what do people expect?
The most popular books to come out of the UK in the last thirty years were a fucking Tory wet dream where slaves literally want to be slaves and only a perfect special completely average white boy born to provenance can save the world. The author would go on to be one of the biggest TERFs alive.
The popularity of Harry fucking Potter still screams that people love Tory horseshit.

Ah fuck off with this white shite, not everything is racist. He’s just white. Not sure how this is Tory related.

The culture war has you distracted from the thorny dick in your ass.

The culture war is part and parcel part of the class war. It’s literally used to divide people, and it uses the destruction of real minority lives to do it.
If you don’t think standing up for the rights of minorities matters in class war, take your Stalinesque plans and shove them up your authoritarian ass.
Because that attitude is why nobody in the LGBT community fucking trusts leftists, because they’re willing to throw their human rights under the bus the second that it’s convenient for them.
No, standing up for them is part of the class war.
