THE ONLY REASON THAT EASTERN EUROPEAN STATES JOINED NATO IS BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF RUSSIA ATTACKING THEM, AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE, SLAUGHTERED CIVILIANS, AND KIDNAPPED CHILDREN just fucking insane victim blaming.

Pretty extraordinary for the Jewish Chronicle to run an op ed & news story about Nigel Farage warning of antisemitism in the Greens without mentioning that he is the only serving major party leader to have been criticised by Jewish groups for using tropes linked to antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Janet Murray is now publicly harassing a random trans woman for choosing to get gender affirming surgery, and her real life friend for donating some money towards funding it. Janet works for the Telegraph and the Mail. This is the state of British journalism. Harassing people for being trans.

Janet Murray on Facebook: NEW: An English teacher at a 28k a year private girls' school crowdfunded for "bottom surgery" in Thailand in during the summer.
And his headteacher's name appears to be amongst the donors.
He wrote about the experience for his Go Fund Me page - which remained live - until the school was approached for comment this afternoon.
My latest for [Un]Captured - link below

Headline from the link: Girls' school head donated to teacher's sex-change surgery fund
English teacher Cassie Westwood's appeal for "bottom surgery" in Thailand listed a donation under the name of his boss, headteacher Caroline Jordan.

Virtue signaling is good*, actually, because it signals an endorsement of virtues. Given the tremendous right-wing effort to signal and perform vice (televised executions, racist politicized raids, denigration of empathy, etc.) turns out we cannot actually take "lip service to virtue" for granted.

Anonymous sources are bad, says an anonymous source.

Greens do 'things differently', says source over former deputy's criticism
A Green Party source has responded to earlier comments from Caroline Lucas on the party's motion at its conference over the weekend.
They say: "There are ups and downs in politics and when people are passionate they disagree in the heat of a campaign."
The source adds: "We do things differently, unlike Labour who use anonymous sources and resort to factionalism."

Also, being polite shouldn't be a conscious decision. You should naturally say "please" and "thank you" and you should instinctively hold doors open for people. These things should be second nature and you should do them without thinking.

Nor is it the case that public attitudes) become more unsettled recently. Generational shiftbigger. 1 in 5 doubted this in 2010 and 1 in 10 in 2020s. (There was a generation gap in 2010, but older people adapted to the prevailing norm). This is media/politics amplification of online radicalisation

Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

On Andy Burnham's sudden bout of shyness. thecritic.co.uk/sanc...

The close of his statement was an appeal to our better natures. If we were going to ask Israelis and Palestinians to live side-by-side, he said, Britain also had to be a place where “people of all faiths and none have a right to live without prejudice or fear.” Listening to him was Andy Burnham, who has been strangely absent from our public debate for the last few days. In August, we couldn’t move for social media clips from the prime minister, standing on a ladder to discuss his first job, or sitting in a pub to rate bar snacks. But faced with masked thugs trying to shut down British ports over the weekend, Burnham seems to have lost the password for his phone. For a decade now, Britain has had a series of leaders apparently paralysed by the fear that if they say that racism is bad, they’ll be voted out. It would be nice to get one who had a slightly higher opinion of us.

The single most effective argument against Mosley’s BUF in the 30s, the one that really broke through with the masses, was that all the creepy fash stuff (esp. the uniforms) was *un-British*. That is the angle to keep pounding away at - the foreign donations, the obvious mimicry of the 🇺🇸 alt-right.

If "legitimate concerns" were considered to excuse illegitimate methods, then nobody from Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action would have been arrested. So we know it doesn't. In fact that phrase is only ever used in one context. Only in that context is uniformed mob intimidation "peaceful protest"
