Nobody replaces one system with another, they simply occur from the ashes. You don't get to pick and choose. Certainly, we don't. The most important point, though, is that capitalism can only fail. It's ecologically, materially and energy illiterate - it makes no sense. It's simply a question of when. It's a parasitic system* which, once it kills its host, will die. Therefore, the question of what replaces capitalism is open to everyone, including those who deny that it's a parasitic system, against all evidence. What would you replace capitalism with? Or, if you prefer, how do you think capitalism evolves in a world with a dwindling resource base and limits to growth? Or, probably a better question (for all), is what do you see coming after capitalism whether we like it or not? *As is socialism, and all forms of communism that have existed alongside other systems.

I can recommend "Be Good, Love Brian" by Craig Bromfield. It's about the author's time living with Brian Clough as a boy.

To me that pic is no different from a Reform Party event, other than the fact the purple rinse mob at those things are waaay more dangerous Handing in your voting rights when you claim your pension, would make the uk are far better place to live

Blue Mink - Banner Man

I was taking the piss out of @Mason89's assertion that everything will be fine once the boomers are gone. It's very clear they are teenagers. You were supposed to imagine a group of baby boomers in the image instead.

Jimi Hendrix - Star spangled banner

There is more than one of them. I just recently discovered who one is, who sits amongst the Ultras. No surprises that these same guys are part of the protectors of the nation brigade, outside the asylum hotels. Sad behaviour and for the watching.

Blinlemon and RadioRed are far too smart to rise to this bait. However, I'm (still) game to take one for the team. While our representatives were responsible for the withdrawal of education funding that has led to a 'breathe in' ...'breath out' App being necessary for X,Y & Z on their phones - contemporaries did invent the internet. Meanwhile I'll duck back behind my wall of slide rules and log tables and wait for the Utopia that will, no doubt, be delivered.

The one that hangs about the Aberdeen lot is especially weird. They’ll work that out soon enough

They’ll like the dressing up more than the politics. It’s the same as the Aberdeen stop the boats mob. Trying to be edgy & looking absolutely tragic I’ll worry about it more if they’re still doing it in their 20s.

Can’t remember where I read it but he said today that we have a lot of good players not playing much at the moment and they’ll be given a chance. I expect a much changed team.

It was a 16 yo charged look at the photie - those holding the flag barely look five foot its teenagers, probably with the odd overage weirdo who hangs round every ultra group

Their faces are covered, they could be any age.

Fucking kir’caddy https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/5395451/kirkcaldy-nazi-salute-photo/ Hope these aren’t the kids Mason is relying on to fix the world…

So that's an indication that Jimmy will be fielding a second string team on Thursday.

Kiki Dee - Star

then our cups are over brimming with optimism.

Dumbarton are a basket case just now but I heard it was 9 goals against the run of play

It’s the “KDM Evolution Trophy” apparently, and without young Bav scoring again, the Masons won 9-0. Wankers.

I think the world is bored shitless of political centrism and I don’t think theres an appetite to return to that, once these right wing virgins eventually run out of juice There’s a few things that give me optimism at home and abroad. I’m encouraged by the Green Party membership here, I’m loving the fact that everyone despises the Labour Party, I’m over the moon that the Tory Party is effectively killed itself and I’m fairly sure the inevitable fall of Trump will reflect incredibly poorly on Reform. I think Europe will strengthen because of the way the US has acted and I think those 70m non voting yanks are just waiting for something better than the usual pish on offer. Theres plenty to be hopeful about. I’m a cup half full kind of guy, unless we’re taking about Aberdeen FC

Buggles- video killed the radio star

Avoiding the question? I know it's the politics thread, but you don't have to become a politician.

The Inverness Masons are leading Dumbarton 7-0 at HT in some minor skirmish in Dumbarton (sorry Mason). Alfie Bavidge - whose granda, Mitch, I can remember banging in goals for Keith decades ago - has scored four. Fuck the Heelan Hun Caley bstds, but fine work from the loon.
