> I didn't think the specific person in the post was the issue, but rather the principle.
well, that is the problem: you are entirely willing to buy in to a counter-factual hypothetical (or put more bluntly: a lie) to prove a point.
what are the effects of "the left" being willing to go on the offensive against someone for made-up charges of being anti-jewish?
well, it got #JeremyCorbyn evicted from #LabourUK. at their latest party conference the danish red-green alliance ( #Enhedslisten ) expelled the palestine-solidarity group for being »damaging to the party« and they voted to confirm »israels right to exist.« this is enabling crackdown on protests and allowing #Terma and #Mærsk to continue to supply weapons for the genocide. how's it going in #Vänsterpartiet ?
if you're cool with your jewish friend is "pro-palestinean" while being offended at »free palestine«, would you then also be cool with your white friend throwing a tantrum upon hearing »black lives matter« ? i'd be worried about your friend, because he's making the same claim to be "pro-palestine" as this blood-thirsty rabbi is.
two years of fucking full on zionist genocide and you're instantly ready to tone-police someone for »free palestine«, wtf?! please read el-kurd's essay i posted earlier in the thread.

CW: UKpol, disability
"Labour’s collective belief in the dignity of labour regularly curdles into two toxic ways of thinking. One is a belief that paid employment is the only reliable gauge of people’s esteem; the other is a queasiness about disability that sometimes lurks just below the surface. There is also an apparently desperate need to counter any suggestion that Labour ministers are liberal fainthearts. In March, the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, offered a curt explanation of why the government was set on its plan: “This is the Labour party. The clue is in the name. We believe in work”."

CW: UKpol, regulation
The revolving door between big business and government regulation turns again. @pluralistic has the scoop.

redoing my #introduction because I have more characters now.
I'm Oscar, a high school student from #Croydon in #London. I'm hoping to go to the #BritSchool to study #ProductionArts. I'm a proficient #Python programmer and Linux user (#XMonad ftw!)
I listen to lots of music. Bands/artists I like include #ManicStreetPreachers, #FleetFoxes, #Radiohead, #Blur, #Placebo, #Pulp, #Elbow, #TheHousemartins, #CarterUSM and many, many more.
I'm a #LibSoc, member of #LabourUK (worst £3 I ever spent), #Atheist, #ActuallyAutistic and #Achillean. AMAB but could care less.
I am also a minor, albeit one who has heard, seen and done some shit. "minors dni" dni.
