Seen a lot of references to "purity tests" and what is the actual test here. Opposing gemocide, treating trans people as human beings? So many of the supposed purity tests seem super easy.

Talking with friends about our old World of Darkness game and in the darker alternate reality of our game full of vampires and werewolves there's now a really effective public transport system around our city.

Do Palestinians not get a say here? Must we police language to such a ridiculous degree that we can't name the ideology that's murdering them, starving them and flattering their homes?

There's a whole class of opinion writers dedicated to calling for left wing solutions from anyone but the actual politicians offering them.

And even with code, there's this feeling, it lacks a human touch.

Code has really strict language rules and a much more limited set of patterns relative to normal speech so it's not surprising it does it well. The real problem is it's that the code it makes is so fucking verbose.

I'd also add that your version of "fiscal conservatism" seems to feature a lot of your own specific preferences around transport and also avoids the key question. Do you think fiscal policy should have been looser over the past 16 years?

Who is choosing to make this shift? If it's agreed that zionism is raciscm is uncontroversial goven the genocide there shouldn't be needed for discussion or a shift of focus. That it has shifted things is more down to the media than the Greens.

What is the "conspiracy theory" here, it's obvious certain members of the Green old guard have it in for Zack.

Why fiscal conservatism in particular? That particular ideology has given us 16 years of stagnation.

Disappointing result for the Greens but understandable given Labour no longer have a universally hated leader and the Greens have been under media assaulted for their statement of the obvious motion.

I find "lack of leadership" a massive tell here. It's a nonsense phrase, it means nothing but you can lob it into the discourse like a hand grenade when the press stir up controversy.

Another part of this is that as part of an industrial strategy, certain merchantilist policies can be useful. eg. Japan protecting Toyota etc from competition from GM looks like a good decision.

There is quite a detailed definition in the motion of what constitutes zionism. If identity as that kind of Zionist you're a terrible human being and should not be in the Green Party.

Do they have to be forced in this way? Surely the only time you might have to do this is of you were publicly representing the Green Party and were asked specifically about this, and even then you could express reservations like some party representatives have.

It's fucked up that Israel made the guy who led the Qibya massacre prime minister. What's more fucked up is that he was ultimately regarded as too moderate by the Israeli electorate.

Not sure it needs to be said but the two state solution was clearly rejected by Israel a long time ago. Israel has been expanding its illegal settlements pretty much continuously for the last ~15 years.

Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧵

Has this guy considered what "State of Israel" entails here? Viewing a state in which one particular ethnicity (composed of colonists) is valued above all others as non negotiable is an incredibly extreme position.

Think the "zionism is racism" was a fight that had to be had. If there's still a planet in 50 years, I think history will look very kindly on it.

We don't need to consider hypotheticals, we have an actually existing homeland created according to the principles of Zionism, it is currently approaching the 4th anniversary for its genocide.

Why does spending need to be tamed? My employer is very much avoiding pay raises, my town has no end of unused space. It feels like aggregate demand is low and you're proposing the government make it lower.

Nope, we have actually existing zionism and it's just committed a genocide. If we can't call zionism racism now, what's the bar? Some kind of even worse mega-genocide?

Fragment from a letter:

accepted this referral. We are a team that work with children, young people and their families who may have or may undergo assessments into a neurodevelopmental disorder such as
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The current waiting time from referral to discharge from the assessment and diagnostic pathway that is NDS is approximately 5 to 6 years. This is due to the volume of referrals and the capacity within the team to carry out the required assessments.

⭕️🇵🇸 “This is his baby bottle. This is his toy. And that is his shroud. I want to ask the world: What threat did this pose to Israel?”

Nearly three years after the Israeli massacre at the Al-Taj residential block in Gaza City, families gathered Thursday to bury 105 Palestinians whose remains were recovered from beneath the rubble.

Standing amid the ruins, journalist Mahmoud Haniyeh, whose wife, journalist Doaa Sharaf, and their one-year-old son Obaida were killed in the Israeli attack, held up the child’s belongings.

“I am not talking about numbers,” Haniyeh told Drop Site’s Mohamed Ahmed. “There was a neighborhood here, alive with its people. There was a lawyer here, an engineer, a doctor, and a nurse. We are talking about an entire life that Israel obliterated in seconds.”

Haniyeh said his family had spent three years in “an open house of mourning” while waiting for their remains to be recovered. “This grief has not healed. This wound has not healed. This mourning has not ended.”

For Haniyeh, the recovery of his wife and son underscored how many families across Gaza are still waiting for the bodies of their loved ones to be recovered from beneath the rubble.

“There are 10,000 martyrs whose families are waiting for this moment,” he said. “How long will it take us to reach 10,000?”

The actual GDP data for the 70s shows a modest rise in GDP per capita, lower but not by much than the two decades either side.
