Why am I expected to cheer for an ethnic minority Prime Minister who will only entrench inequality?

Good rant I thought.

Kanye Trump 2024
Literally every opinion piece these days is like “Water is bad for you and here’s why”.
Paid for by Big Fizzy
At the risk of sounding bad, there's a tendency from progressives in America to idolise people from marginalised groups as heroes, then be shocked when it turns out that those people can have terrible views too (e.g. Caitlin Jenner, Kanye, J.K. Rowling).
I dont think any progressive would be daft enough to say this about Kanye if he was white (though the conservatives would be).
I genuinely miss the days when the articles were "Men are cnuts and here's why." I know some folk didn't like them but as a man I can confirm we are indeed all cnuts.
They used to allow comments as well on their Comment Is Free section, before it became Our Comment Is Free and Feck Yours section.
"Human civilisation is ending, and here's why that's not as bad as you expect", probably from Vox, about 2037.

"And how about a player described as “more of an 8 than a 10”? The uninitiated will assume they are being judged, unfavourably, as more of an 8 out of 10 than a 10 out of 10. It doesn’t mean that. As for what it does mean, I’m afraid that this idiot isn’t quite sure."

Not surprised Ireland got a mention. We are possibly the most vulgar consumerists in Europe. Our middle classes are really fecking annoying for this shit. They'll buy fecking anything The Saturday Irish Times Mag tells them to. And round these traditional surfing parts DryRobes had a small window of being the best invention ever, but almost immediately became a symbol of being an utter twat. My 15 year olds have spent their lives shivering and being semi exposed by the sea front, but they were the ones who informed me that a DryRobe is not an option.
The lockdown staycations was defined by these cnuts invading villages along the west coast with literally hundreds of thousands worth of kit and making camping vulgar.
Pity, because they are a great idea.
The coastal towns of South Dublin/North Wicklow are infected with dryrobes, nobody has been for a swim that wears one, they just swan around the towns drinking coffee.
It is a pity since it's such a good idea and I'd like to get one (and would genuinely use it). I often go swimming in north Germany where it could also be very useful and presumably doesn't have the same reputation, but somehow it wouldn't feel right
Maybe they're buying and subsequently wearing one due to some personal defect?
Did you think about that before you judged them. I bet not.

Absolutely, it's a blessing in terms of utility here on the NW coast of Ireland. I don't go near the sea in the winter but if I these things would be a no brainer, apart from the hate.
I have seen them sported in shopping centres in the more salubrious suburbs near the coast in North County Dublin. So bizarre.
People like you just take the fun out of judging people.
They’re shite at doing what they’re supposed to do though. The lining is kind of nylon-y and non-absorbent. There’s a similar version in Lidl (or IKEA?) that has a lining which is an actual towel. Makes way more sense.
Disclaimer. I don’t own one and I fecking hate swimming in the sea. I also hate any cnut who feels the need to add the word “sea” in front of “swimming”
What are they supposed to do though? I thought they were a portable tent and roomy enough to use a towel inside? The kids have poncho towels with hoods but it's fecking Baltic and these things were to protect you from eyes and the wind as you toweled and dressed?

I think so? Something like that. But they’d be a lot more comfy if the Inside wasn’t like the lining of a 1970s sleeping bag.
I see. It's hard to find the perfect material for cold weather sea interaction. The utility / comfort Venn diagram overlap is slim. I'd just stay away if I could.
People rarely comment on how the sleeping bag has improved in our lifetime. And boy has it!
Oh I thought it was like a towel-jacket? So it has a towel-like lining and is heavy and thick to keep you warm? And you'd stick it on rightaway and then kinda rub your arms and body to dry off?
I think it is but you still need a towel, otherwise it's like putting your coat on without drying yourself? I'll ask a twat when I'm by the sea and get back to you.

I thought it was a towel-jacket too but the lining is weirdly non-absorbent. Kind of like a fleece jumper? Sort of fluffy but doesn’t suck up water.

The least helpful "how to" in the history of the internet: If you don't know how to do it, hire someone. Replace it with something as classy as a katie price autobiography.

You guys are laughing at what seems to be stupid Guardian articles, but they only print what sells, and these kind of shenagigans sells
the opposite formula is popular too "<bad thing> is happening more and more, and why that's ok"
Some of these opinion pieces are poorly written and I'm not sure of exactly what her justifications are for sex scenes as she seems to make better arguments against them. It's all just a confusing mess
