It is just extraordinary- from the very start of this clip - that every element of solemnity around him - the dark clothes, the medals and the rest - will require him to take the limelight and stage a scene from Mr.Bean. https://t.co/9qJoDfC7WZ

Marcuse’s account of repressive desublimation in “advanced
capitalism” adds another aspect to the formation. Unlike the con-
servative, authority- oriented subject guided by conscience and
closely identified with the rectitude of church and state, the re-
actionary subject of repressive desublimation is largely indif-
ferent to ethics or justice. Malleable and manipulable, depleted
of autonomy, moral self- restraint, and social comprehension,
this subject is pleasure- mongering, aggressive, and perversely
attached to the destructiveness and domination of its milieu.
Radically disinhibited but without intellection or moral com-
pass in regard to itself or to others, this subject’s experience of
thinned or ruptured, subjectively felt social ties and obligations is
affirmed by neoliberal culture itself. Its disinhibition is contoured
as aggression by that culture, by its wounds and their imagined
source, and by the desublimations incited or invited by nihilism.

Behold the aggrieved, reactive creature fashioned by neolib-
eral reason and its effects, who embraces freedom without the
social contract, authority without democratic legitimacy, and
vengeance without values or futurity! Far from the calculating,
entrepreneurial, moral, and disciplined being imagined by Hayek
and his intellectual kin, this one is angry, amoral, and impetuous,
spurred by unavowed humiliation and thirst for revenge. The
intensity of this energy is tremendous on its own, and easily ex-
ploited by plutocrats, right- wing politicians, and tabloid media
moguls intent on whipping it up and keeping it stupid. It does not
need to be addressed by policy that might produce its concrete
betterment because it seeks mainly psychic anointment of its
wounds. For this same reason it cannot be easily pacified— it is
fueled mainly by rancor and nihilistic despair. It cannot be ap-
pealed to by reason, facts, or sustained argument because it does
not want to know, and it is unmotivated by consistency or depth
in its values or by belief in truth. Its conscience is weak, while
its sense of victimization and persecution runs high. It cannot
be wooed by a viable alternative future, where it sees no place
for itself, no prospect for restoring its lost supremacy. The free-
dom it champions has gained credence as the needs, urges, and
values of the private have become legitimate forms of public life
and public expression.

LOCKERBIE, Scotland — A second Scottish independence referendum could take place if polling consistently shows 60 percent of Scots desire a fresh vote, according to a senior U.K. Cabinet minister.
...
Following the 2014 vote, former Prime Minister David Cameron insisted the debate was “settled for a generation” and his successor Theresa May later said “now is not the time” to rerun the vote.

But in an interview with POLITICO, Johnson’s Scotland Secretary Alister Jack suggested for the first time what it would take for the U.K. government to grant a second vote.

Earlier in August, Jack’s fellow Cabinet minister Michael Gove — who is in charge of Union policy — told the Sunday Mail that “if it is the case that there is clearly a settled will in favor of a referendum, then one will occur.”

Asked in reference to Gove’s comments to outline what he felt would show there was a “settled will” for a new referendum, Jack pointed to a figure of “60 percent” of Scots.

“If you consistently saw 60 percent of the population wanting a referendum — not wanting independence but wanting a referendum [to take place] — and that was sustained over a reasonably long period, then I would acknowledge that there was a desire for a referendum,” Jack said. “Anyone can see that.

“But that’s not where we are and it’s not how I perceive things to be,” he added. “I think I’m broadly where the public are, which is that now is not the time to be having a referendum. We’ve had one, we’ve made our decision, let’s get on and rebuild the economy and rebuild people’s lives.”

After 20 consecutive opinion polls between summer 2020 and spring 2021 indicated a lead for the “Yes” side, more recent independence polls have largely shown a small lead in favor of Scotland remaining in the U.K. In the most recent poll measuring opinion on the timing of a second referendum, Scots were split by 42 percent to 40 percent in favor of holding a referendum in the next five years.
