MATTHEW GOODWIN INTERVIEW"Reform will give incentives
to women who have more children and will penalise those who don't. Change is coming” -
hopefully this will create at least /some/ reputational damage to Reform to make them less popular - it goes beyond even what full on religious wingnuts were advocating back in the 1970s/80s (at least here in Britain as opposed to USA)
@vfrmedia @HarriettMB @AlexGallagher the other idiot Rupert Lowe launched his own fashy twat party and has the same stupid idea

@nf3xn @AlexGallagher Give them enough rope?
@aadeacon @nf3xn @AlexGallagher the rope only works if people understand fascism. a lot of people are too poor to hear anything complex, if you cant pay the rent or buy enough food, any change at all sounds better that what youve got now sadly

@AlexGallagher even if someone had somehow never met a woman in their life, we are human beinga first and foremost and being defined in relationship to or in terms of our usefulness and importance to men continues to dehumanise us.

@AlexGallagher What if you're already old (well, 50) and you only had one kid? Do I get penalised in retrospect?

@Npars01 @AlexGallagher also hoping to create cannon fodder for whatever war they start (or continue) in 15-20 years
I saw once this "demographic bell curve" of Russia from 2010s (before the war started), marked up "surplus male population". It appeared to be from somewhere like Wikipedia and/or a University, not some fash place and was simply making the bald statement that there were that many "surplus" young men in Russia, it simply doesn't make that a big dent in the population (or prevent it from still growing to some extent) if a lot of them are sacrificed in a war. Which is exactly what has happened just a few years later..
@vfrmedia China would now be in the same demographic place. One child policy failed dramatically and now they have surplus men.

Why are the same people incentivizing birth while trying to kill us? What an insane timeline we're on.

Matthew Goodwin, I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for a position in government, I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you stop talking shit now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I and everyone I know will vote against you.@gregalotl @AlexGallagher I don't think he reads Mastodon.

Still, I thoroughly enjoyed adapting the quote

@pthane @Ulrich_the_elder @AlexGallagher In case Trump's performance on the international stage isn't enough, at home the US is kidnapping people in broad daylight, including children. Our government is building concentration camps and threatening to do away with elections while cutting key services and driving up the cost of living. I can't imagine an intelligent person who wants that for their own country.

Neither could I. But since moving to Central Brexitshire* I've met some.* Central Bedfordshire.

@Bredroll @aadeacon @AlexGallagher yes but any change does not mean automatically voting MAGA/Reform. They could have voted Green or Liberal but some of these poor are far poorer exactly because they already voted for these idiots once to take UK out of EU.

@nf3xn @aadeacon @AlexGallagher desperate, dissilusioned people will more easily be manipulated, they are more likely to fall for simple lies, it doesn't make them idiots, we humans are easily isolated and manipulated in our digital swamp

@Ulrich_the_elder
Yes, Farage is a Trump wannabe. But I've met people here who think Trump is doing OK and we should have a similar leader here. One, a retired lawyer for god's sake, told me we should have gun laws like the US.
@AlexGallagher@pthane Lawyers aren't a rarefied species. Nor are Professors, or Judges, or ministers of religion...or Kings. They are often products of their upbringing. @Ulrich_the_elder @AlexGallagher

@Bredroll @aadeacon @AlexGallagher not having it at all, hard disagree on the 'not idiots' although they might just be racists too. I don't care how desperate you think you are-voting fascist is an unforgivable, two fingers up to your country.

"penalize those who don't"?
So when exactly did women lose their right to freedom of choice over their own bodies and lives?
Did that happen? How can someone who is threatening an entire gender even be allowed to run?
Matthew Goodwin and the rest of the #Incels must be stopped.
