@alexrubner Sartre’s is “anytime I didn’t take the most radical course of action, I regretted it”

btw @Redfempod I believe you once, some time ago, understandably attributed the quotation to Sartre

There's a line attributed to Harold MacMillan: “If we have to decide between two possible courses of action we must always choose the more radical.” This is the philosophy of action that the GC Ultras exhibit. (Possibly every movement's Ultras behave this way; possibly that's what makes them Ultras.)

NEW episode 🎙️ The Labour Party is in termoil and Keir Starmer is hanging on for dear life as PM. We discuss who the next leader will be, the Mandelson scandal taking scalps, dancing while Rome burns, the ‘chumocracy’, and why Reform will win on May 7th. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/red…
