The left are panicked by the reaction to the Queen's death. They don't understand it because they rarely interact with the sort of people in The Queue. They're also insanely envious of that sort of power to mobilise people. That's why we're seeing this slightly hysterical and unhinged reaction.

While I go along with everything you say, I see no evidence of insane jealousy, hysteria or unhinged reaction anywhere.

TBH, I couldn't get past the headline. Also, so what? Why do we need to be careful? I was in no danger of being fooled. Maybe you're smarter than the right-wing press, but the UK's right-wing media (BBC, Mail, Mirror, Telegraph, ITV, Observer, etc) is certainly suggesting that "the nation is united in mourning" and everyone in the queue in London was actively mourning her maj. |

It was more playing respect than paying though. Think I said days ago many more will claim to have been there than actually were in the years to come, it was ultimate virtue signaling event in recent history.
There was a woman interviewed wood paid $1600 to fly from canada just to say she'd been there...er play her respects. And apparently loads gave been flogging their wristbands on ebay.
At least it wasn't as maudlin and as sacurine as when they planted Dianna.

Good grief.
That said, there are built in structural problems in the US that come from placing polluting businesses in majority black areas. It’s a long running and long-known problem. But it’s f**k**g rich of the state of Louisiana to blame the UK government for its own lack of oversight and failure to regulate and decision to locate these plants in places where they suspect they’ll get the least political blow-back.

I absolutely agree that the economically disadvantaged can get the crappy end of the stick, but to characterise that as "environmental racism" is a spectacularly pious bit of virtue-signalling.

There's probably a really nice dissertation to be done on spacial distribution of wealth in Northern hemisphere industrialised nations.
In the NH, the term "West End" is almost a byword for affluence. This is because the wealthy could live in areas upwind of industrial and urban smog.
I wonder if you could use council tax bands in UK to illustrate that, and to perhaps show some interesting anomalies e.g. smart coastal neighbourhood s in Western cities (Lytham-St. Anne's, Morecombe etc) versus Eastern cities like Newcastle and Hull, whose seaside neighbourhoods I am unfamiliar with (except Whitley Bay).

I absolutely agree that the economically disadvantaged can get the crappy end of the stick, but to characterise that as "economic racism" is a spectacularly pious bit of virtue-signalling. I think in the US there is probably a reasonable amount of economic racism. Environmental racism really is a tangent of that. But the US long had specific zoning laws that deliberately f**k*d black people (read up on redlining), and the leftovers from redlining meant that policy planners knew where the impact on their constituents would be felt least. You can see the result in many kinds of planning decisions, like which neighbourhoods had massive highways plonked through the middle of them during the massive interstate construction phase (clue: it wasn’t any rich white neighbourhoods, almost anywhere in America). Poor whites get a bad deal, but poor blacks have always had a much worse deal from planning decisions. Even if the planning decision wasn’t explicitly racist, the legacy of redlining zoning laws meant that the de facto situation was that the places known to be poor are still marked out by those laws from the Jim Crow era. Anyway, I think whatever warranted a $3m fine is clearly not actually a big deal. That’s basically a fart for Drax. |
