Episode 130: A Review of Your Party's First Conference

Last weekend new leftwing UK party officially now called ‘Your Party’ held their first conference showcasing a bonanza of debilitating leftist tendencies. We discuss those and wider bonkers trends on the left. Including, obsessional lunacy with accessibility that is actually a tool of manipulation and grievance mining, individualism and politics as identity, the affectlessness of leftwing speech today, and social exclusion's relationship to the repetition of slogans. Plus, the term ‘retard’ as a distinguishing signal, why the left hasn’t had a new idea or take in decades, how every attack by the left has a social quality, Trotskyism’s anathema to power, Syriza, platforming nonces, political messianism, and the left’s hostility to arguments.
