  1. I kinda think I hate #Counterfire, with it's finger-wagging what-the-left-needs-to-do, yet an organisation that really has little influence politically.

    They feel a bit like self-appointed arbiters to me.

    idk they bore me.

  6. As much as I like #Counterfire having varied content like reviews for books, films and TV, I see this sort of thing quite a lot:

    "recently-aired four-episode series on Disney+"

    Or Netflix or whatever.

    The writers for this revolutionary socialist organisation sure love their corporate streaming services!

    Some words someone wrote about the new left wing party.

    It doesn't really mention entryism but it does mention "MPs are expected to attend parliament and vote against any curtailing of our rights and freedoms," which would defend from entryists, I think.

  21. #Reform #UK

    Yeah, I got that impression when watching the White Man Walking documentary.

    It's easy to dismiss the 'What about white people?' counter argument as uninformed, blinkered and racist, but I think it's important to recognise many white people feel under-represented. The problem is, fascism speaks to those people while #socialism doesn't.

    Reform work, like how all fascism works, to point the blame at brown people and immigrants to dupe the uniformed white, and to destroy #solidarity.

    "Racist dog whistles are key to Reform UK’s politics, but it’s not why they win votes in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse or in Llanelli. Councillor Beer is right, the main reason people vote Reform UK – as poll after poll demonstrates – is not primarily to ‘stop the boats’ but because they see it as giving them a voice when the established parties don’t listen."

  31. #Counterfire | ‘Good Jews’, ‘bad Jews’ and imperialist lies

    "This raises the question: If the majority of Jews were again to champion the cause of oppressed peoples, would the imperialists revert to their old anti-Semitic ways? For anti-Zionist Jews, this is an irrelevant question. Under no circumstances will they abandon their opposition to oppression."

    #Counterfire | Rights and Rulings

    "The danger is that if we allow proclamations that this is the end of trans rights to go unchallenged, not only will trans people be made more anxious and isolated, but the perception will start to become the reality. The respect and dignity which trans people have won over the last decades could indeed be lost, not because of what the law says about single-sex spaces, but if the consensus becomes that this ruling means that trans people don’t deserve equality."
