miliband is so awful.
he's basically offering a weak feel bad moralism about shared values and fairness and all this appeal to the maternal super-ego shit.
the tories offer the (deluded) belief that you can be rich like them, and their message is fundamentally more appealing on the level of human dignity to the average striving to survive person.

i dont care about elections because the whole system is so redundant that theres almost no point playing on its terms.
the welfare state vs. neo liberalism model that we are trapped in is a sign of a deeper malaise, it goes right to the level of metaphysics. you look at singapore and china and their state capitalist model has WON. it is FUNDAMENTALLY MORE EFFICIENT AND BETTER.
the only political discourse we have is an endless tug of war over the idea of a magical individual who can either be starved through cuts to the welfare state and thus become a magical capital generating entrepreneur, or enter into some meaningless phantasm of a discourse about fairness where the magic of democracy starts to somehow work because we believe in it.
we are out of ideas, stale and redundant at a deep deep level.
the tories are at least TRYING to build new nuclear plants. but i dont think the average person can even understand the need for them. then you have a large percentage of the population who is actually opposed to them.
we are so deluded in our self importance that we think china is not yet ahead of us and will soon fall to democracy. our society has regressed on most of its actually worthwhile and unique values - torture, freedom from surveillance etc. and its regressing socially and economically. its a pit of mental illness and addiction with a fat useless rentier class on top and no room for anyone else to improve themselves. once you lose that you lose civility itself.

i dont need to remind anyone that ukip are racist idiots - the problem is not that they are wrong, which they are, but that we can barely offer any alternatives to oppose them with.
