It doesn't mean a "safe" country but one that is explicitly ruled by (and for) Jews: that's called ethno-nationalism and it's racist.

I am aware of no definition that isn't racist. I'll be surprised if you can actually produce one but I'm certain that if you do so it'll be obscure and little used as to be irrelevant to any sincere conversation.

The mechanisms are a problem that was badly abused. I believe there was also a technological attack.

Low private jet tax 'fuels climate crisis, inequality'
Andy Burnham, the prime minister and leader of the Labour Party, wants cheap, popular policies. Well, only seven per cent of voters support the current low tax on private jet fuel.

The problem isn't Greens being unwilling to work with people. Labour are not going to offer anything remotely close to palatable unless they have absolutely no other choice (they would even rather deal with Farage -possibly not Lowe) ..but they could certainly try for a dishonest trap deal.

"whataboutery" is also something people say when they don't have an answer to valid comparisons. Sometimes it's also indicative of poor thinking rather than deliberate dishonesty.

Indeed. As political strategy it's not great but they've had to fight hard to even get this to a vote against some very dirty tactics. People broadly supportive of the Green Party should be framing this more supportively because the enemies will already be making every weak argument against it.

Who is "we" in that claim? You definitely don't speak for the Labour leadership -or at least not honestly: they would certainly pretend it's a possibility just as they pretend to be progressive while locking people up for peaceful protest and materially assisting ongoing genocide.

Labour WILL NOT form a coalition with the Greens! That's the delusional fantasy: they devoted far more resources to fighting Greens in the last two elections than to stopping Farage. They would *much* rather be with the Conservatives. The only way Greens get a look in is by being the biggest party.

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you. Please know you’re not alone. Many of us still mask, test and isolate when sick. Being the lone masker can be difficult, but your long term health is worth it. As a high risk, immunocompromised person… I see and appreciate you.

Bandwidth for communicating with the electorate is *extremely* narrow. The fact that you're referring to a detailed resolution as a slogan proves that applies to you.

If you think this was the leadership then you don't understand how the Green Party works *at all*. If you think zionism isn't racist then you haven't understood Zionism either.

Timlagor @timlagor.bsky.social · 16h
The timing was caused by the previous conference being sabotaged by zionists. Ash Sarkar made a good point about there being better ways to pick this fight but what we're seeing here is Zionists and neolibereals getting on a bandwagon together again not an actual problem with the Green party.

Are you still peddling the delusion that Labour are even close to being on our side? Did you miss that while Burnham talks about getting it wrong on Israel he continues to give them material support? (and is awful on every other major policy area too)

I think Ash Sarkar is right that it would have been better to pick the fight by saying we would arrest Starmer and others for complicity. It's the same fight but much harder for them to pretend Greens are the ones in the wrong. Disappointed by the Green MPs though.

Indeed. Semi-closeted but it was pretty clear when he was trying to become leader. I'd be happy to see him deselected now and I think many would but I have no idea about his actual constituency.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

So the AI users are going to feed our original work directly into the chatbot and make it different enough to avoid detection, rather than using chatbot output trained on our work. Eg - recently, I found out Electrek was just copying my blog posts for profit on their website, to run ads against.
