I'm all for out of the box ways to alleviate the housing crisis, but she comes off like a somebody who likes to talk, rather than come up with workable solutions. Plus she has three houses, so not much of a housing crisis in her world.

The title of the video is silly and designed to inflame though. It is tagged on racist commentary that has absolutely nothing to do with what's said in the video.

Isn't it just!

Yes, it's very performative. I was half expecting her to suddenly climb up and jump off the top rope of a wrestling ring. When the door closes after the end of the work day I find it hard to believe that she's as passionate about this stuff. It's all very Punch and Judy, and then sliced and diced by equally pushed social media narratives that are just as insane. Rinse and repeat for left or right. This video and tagged on comment is a good incapsulation of the lunacy of it all.

Ultimately, at its core it's surely all just a perpetual effort by the very wealthy to divide upon cultural lines with ill fitting batches of beliefs (which saves really thinking about anything!). That way, they hinder people with significant commonality of what's important to them in life from actually ever seeing that and uniting around shared interests.

People just end up lumbered with laughably limited, caricatured and malignant views of whole swathes of the population. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, because the more others exit stage left due to people being brainwashed politically, the easier it is for these cult-like saps of every shade to fill in their colouring books how they wish, with little actual real world nuance or interaction to interfere with it. A safe space lovers and basement dwellers fantasy.

The real challenge and achievement in life is to not get suckered into these inviting, simplistic traps. It's a pitifully led life when people totally lose their sense of basic human decency and connection due to such contrived nonsense.

You call for nuance and interaction but call people brainwashed and basement dwellers (and worse) for disagreeing.

You touch on some truth though in that left v right v centrist (after populating all of these positions at some point in my life) is a trap.

You have global capital completely draining every resource and bit of value in the direction of Oligarchs and at the same time consolidating global power via technology and opaque policy decisions and we are arguing about whether a woman has a p**** or who attended a particular drinks party. They are laughing at us.

People should be finding the bare minimum set of principles they can agree on to wrestle back some real power for themselves before that ability is removed.

The problem with nuance is that the vast majority of people don't have the basic tools to participate in it. How many people have any understanding about the following just as examples:

Quantum computing
Artificial intelligence / machine learning
CRISPR
5th generation warfare
Fusion Doctrine
Regulatory capture
Keynesian/Austrian economics
What is "sustainable development"
Any real understanding of European/World history
What legislation is being passed through parliament on their behalf
The parliamentary whipping system
How lobbying works

These are the kind of important things that are changing the world beyond recognition and all we get via the media is sensationalising or glorifying the mundane but everyone seems to accept this.

Indeed, bang on the money.

I disengage, I turn the page.

No mention of white or bame-where did you come up with that headline?
