@analyticabyss@DragonflyJonez Society sucks and thus we should work to change it - that is why the humanities are essential. When you have a society where business graduates can make more than care workers or binmen you live in a stupid society.
@analyticabyss@DragonflyJonez Everyone I've met who chose a job based on money has had a miserable life (one of my jobs is working with older people) so maybe its not the subjects that are wrong, but the entire structure of society.
@anarchoboognish Why are they obsessed with the idea that anarchists are all teenagers when most of the ones I know are pushing 40 or above?
Sad echoes of the cry of the British jaded centrist, yelling "school boy politics" at anyone to the left of them.
An accurate summation of the big leftist argument online -
MLs: "I can't believe you don't read theory"
Anarchists: "I can't believe you don't actually do anything."
@zassworld By denying the possibility we make it so much easier for Israel to dismiss claims of Palestinian women in future. You've also missed the point that they are investigating the possibility of rape commited on women who are now dead. Again, we would not doubt others claiming this.
One of the worst aspects of support for Palestine is indeed, the ghoulish dismissal of women having been raped. Saying you believe women and then dismissing this is pure hypocrisy.
Doesn't excuse bombing innocents civilians though and condemning both is not mutually exclusive.
@zassworld I am simply not prepared to abandon my humanity because Israel is a genocidal state. Rape is a weapon often used in war and we would believe literally any other group claiming this in a conflict.
Dismissing the possibility is not based.

@MintSauceSarnie @eilidhwashere Its a cartel that controls what whisky is allowed to be - proper whisky is just any spirit made in Scotland and is far older than the modern conception.
@bolchivikiDz @V0LCANICBIRD @chekvarajefe@RedBlackGuard Please explain the fundamental difference between a hierarchical, militaristic society with a cult of leader worship, that purges its opponents and demands ideological purity from the citizenry under fascism, and the same thing under ML flavour communism. Other than the flags.
@enobnala @johnb78 You need to realise most of the radicals I know are pushing 40. Become a jaded centrist isn't a sign of maturity, its a sign of a failure of ambition.
@leecheshire@johnb78 Absolutely no one in Labour said that, other than right wing Labour who kept finding 14 year olds on Twitter or FBPE twonks calling red wall voters idiots, and pushing that as some sort of left wing hegemonic narrative.
Imagine celebrating the hollowing out of politics, the return to a flaccid status quo that has already failed.
Its the perfect example of an utter lack of any vision in mainstream politics - everything will be kind of shit until the seas rise and we down. Rejoice.
Labour are doing better in polls among 18-29s now than they did at the height of Corbyn's poll popularity. The problem for The Left is that each Deano who switches from the Tories because his mortgage has doubled is worth 2x the votes of each Corbynist who quits in disgust
