But enough about Drowned in Sound
think it used to be alright but it’s really reached the point where it looks like a Mumsnet abbreviation or something, like ‘DH’ and all that. don’t really like the idea of outsiders thinking we’re the indie Mumsnet.
I meant they wouldn’t be far wrong …
In a lot of these polls where someone arbitrarily assigns some act as ‘tory’ (because, I guess, they see it as not embodying the pursuit of a 19th Century working class person, etc.) I’d have thought ‘neoliberal’ could work better in any case. It seems to mean Blairite/centrist lover of capitalism in general (regardless of what its actual definition is).
FTFY

Things you have been slow to realise
As I said, he’s still a Tory. Meaning that there’s no good Tory.
Ah fair enough
Seems 17 people have agreed not to call each other Tories so that’s some progress!
Yeah, but you could also not do it though?
0 voters
I’m not forcing you, I think I’ve made my case so I guess that’s it.
Fine to put it to a vote if you like
now you’ve kind of ruined it
it’s hard to have any kind of organised self-reflection on here isn’t it?
Not at all
this is the thing though, I think some people are offended by it.
Not me personally, I can’t recall being called a Tory but there are people on here who do more good for others than I do that have, which is a little unfair.
fair enough, but it’s worth being aware that sometimes having a sense of humour is a kind of sign of privilege
Tbh I quite like the ‘x thing is tory’ running joke cause it carries with at an acceptance that everyone on here does selfish things and thats fine. Like there’s a shared admittance of fallibility in it idk
no I wouldn’t say that
