I just don't think I can communicate with these people anymore. I just want them to read anything that isn't clearly invested in maintaining the status quo. Literally anything. I'm not even asking for them to become Marxists, just to actually question things. They're scientists too, like that should be their whole thing.

Edit: A brit in the discussion pointed out the leaks that they were sabatoging him. Thank god someone else could do that instead of me just saying "k but Isn'treal is bad though"

Edit edit: they just said "He held Jews to a double standard. End of sentence" like how motherfucker explain this shit. Why do you think that. Also "if people say they are then they are" okay, but like they have a vested interest in fucking his campaign.

    The :brainworms: are unreal with some of the UK lib-'left'. I've had the same thing happen with friends who think of themselves as radical, but don't think much about politics beyond their own positions being kind of shitty

    Some of the arguments for him being an anti-Semite were just surreal one labour mp confronted him about anti-Semitism in the party while secretly recording and he said that anti-Semitism is unacceptable and he believes in 0 tolerance for anti-Semites in the party. The next day they released the tape and it was played on the radio where the bbc talked about how it was incriminating.

      Yeah. They specifically said to believe it when the whole Jewish community says someone is antisemitic. But if I said they didn't they'd probably have just accused me of being antisemitic. (even though they're the one speaking for the entire community, which feels antisemitic to me at least)

    you know the lefties - them mad loonies that have a prevalent stereotype about being woke and equality-obsessed and want everyone to get along and be the same and share everything?
    yeah, well, they're racist towards this one group of people
    not, you know, the other ones, the conservative types that use racial slurs and think gay and trans people shouldn't exist, obviously they're not antisemites. they might be islamophobes but they're not antisemites.
    nah, it's the anti-racist faction that's racist. i'm very intelligent.
