It's like both sides forget that free market socialism exists too.

But the electorate will forget as the conservative media keeps jangling the keys of the week for them to get outraged about, the progressive governments get pulled in every direction trying to fix every problem at the same time or at least be seen to be fixing it and at the same time lampooned by said conservative media for repeating the same point calling it "tired" when they rightfully blame the previous government for the mess they're trying to clean up. The electorate disengages as they get rage burn out until they're forced to pay attention because the election has been called. By then all they remember is the headlines from the conservative media, they get elected. The bosses are happy because they managed to weather the centrist government by convincing them to be left alone and controlling the attention of the plebs. Now their school mates are back in power for another 10 years so their asset portfolio can be taxed less and grow larger whilst those in the wage economy get shafted.

Same old neoliberal story.

That is unless the bosses decide that they can't control the outrage of the plebs so instead they focus it away from themselves and onto minority groups and court a fascist to get elected. Then either way they win: the fascist erodes democratic institutions and formally establishes the oligarchy or fascist gets booted out and they get to install a "moderate" government further right leaning than the last moderate and get the neoliberal cycle back on track.

Shhh it's ok, there'll be an NCD fetish for you soon. We're now at a total of three: Aerosexuals, Ammosexuals, and Battleshipsexuals.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!

A modern classic.

Oh lad, if you like your meats and gravy, you should come to the UK and visit Manchester, Liverpool, or York.

Also everyone in the UK over hypes Greggs just because it's such a national institution now but never mention the more tasty Pieminister because it's not as widespread.

Let me know if you're ever around the Peak District and you're more than welcome to join our family for a proper Sunday Roast Dinner with THICC gravy.

The only Brits that would whine about that are softy southerners.

Come up North if you like your gravy. Up here it's strong and thick enough that the spoon stands straight up!

Ah now we see the violence in the system.

COME SEE THE VIOLENCE IN THE SYSTEM!

HELP! HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!

No worries 😊 sometimes you have to dissect a joke to understand and it can be an interesting learning experience for how comedy, a core part of human communication and interaction works. Very useful to if one struggles with understanding human social interactions, like I do, so I have to learn it.

He might not have a phone but he also could as they have found contraband smartphones in prisons before. Either way he's not going to be able to meet with anyone from Bumble but that's a stretch of reality that also forms part of the punchline.
