I always wondered what happened to Clive Owen.

He does kinda look like a slightly altered clone of the guy, huh?

It wasn’t just Comrade Delta, he had his own group of followers who harrassed and character assassinated the victim and her friends.

The SWP had also previously attempted a purge of feminists about 30-40 years ago.

True.

some other examples

Pretending that people like this are not left wing doesn’t help us. We need to try to stop abuse from happening and not be dismissive when it does happen.

When my kids were little, I’d light up a J, kick back on the sofa and watch this whack shit:

Boobah, aka Rainbow Clitoris.

Gosh, talking about tripped out children’s shows is so much nicer than contemplating the existence of assholes like Shkreli.

I love the general positive lessons we’re getting instead of action figures. Gravity Falls? Adventure Time? I’m under no illusion that kids are going to be forever better because of them, but the lessons are pretty great.

Degree of fickleness depends on one’s perception.

Definitely a cute show, while I agree with pretty much all the underlying messages, I just haven’t taken to it. I dig it, perhaps it gets more going after the first season.

Things get really complicated in later seasons. When some of the dialog starts going WOOSH over the kids’ heads (“Yeah, I’ve seen Greg’s junk”) and the grownups realize “WHOA, there’s a whole lot of history and pain going on here.”

More than a decade ago, at 10:00 in the video:
"Which candidate would provide you better material?"
John Stewart: “Mr. T”

I had intended to join the Labour Party when I got to U. First union meeting I was early and found a seat. Just before the meeting started an officer of the party turned up, found no seat and ordered me out. I pointed out I had every right to be there, so he said “I’m important, I’ll get the people round you to democratically vote you out.”
That was the precise moment at which I decided that (a) politics wasn’t for me and (b) many politicians are dipshits regardless of orientation.

Call these folks:

BTW, Leverage episode 5, season 3, “The Double-Blind Job” is pretty much a Shkreli-heist.
