You should never trust a politician, especially one that claims to be on/in the left.

These two statements are equally as vacuous.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can stay scared of it.

I struggle to believe there isn’t a significant fraction of EU citizens who are frustrated with the EU’s laws.

At the very least to the extent that the whole setup limits national sovereignty.

Your comment comes across as though you expect us to believe EU citizens are a homogenous whole, who happen to align with your perspective on this matter.

Don’t forget the spiders, the jellyfish, and that one rather nasty octopus.

Why should it bother you that my interests don’t align perfectly with yours.

Having said that, I appreciate the wide point you’re making.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe we should panic.

Maybe we should instil panic and fear in the junior school kids. Yeah, that’ll help!

Maybe we should be teaching the kids that white people are evil and rich white people just want to destroy the environment.

If private enterprise want to fund marketing research, fine.

It’s the social science academics living off the public purse I take issue with.

> own downfall by tribalist regressors.

As an outsider, it’s not clear to me who you are referring to as tribalist regressors here.

Would you mind clarifying?

Liminal dreaming. Ain’t never heard that before, sounds like pseudoscience woo-woo to me.

The proper term is hypnagogia.

I’m not even going to night clicking on a title that is clearly a load of bullshit.

I suppose you could water down the ocean water it’ll was drinkable, or like just add half a teaspoon of sea water to a cup or drinking water.

Buy all work done eventually decades in to waste heat.
