I don't think anyone on the left is seriously suggesting Shapiro being Jewish is a problem in the first place. Certainly they aren't in the places I've been seeing. Lots of commentary about how he's very much on the ideological unconditional support for Israel train, but as we saw with the Uncommitted movement, that's a criticism that is (legitimately!) levelled whether or not the person doing it is a Jew. I do suspect that the people making those criticisms would _not_ be brought into a rift-healing by the fact that he's called Netanyahu the worst leader in Israeli history - most of them have been calling the focus on Bibi a deflection from the Israeli state's _institutional_ anti-palestinian bias. I therefore think they'd regard that remark from him the same way: an attempt to suggest that replacing one man should resolve their objections and make what's happening in Gaza acceptable.

Good video. I'm in agreement that Biden was pushed aside too quickly by the donors and democratic elites. He's truly been one of our greatest presidents in the past 25 years. But at the same time I do see how Kamala is captivating the base. Her messaging and speeches are so far on point. And so has her political instincts. We will see if this carries through to the convention and onwards. Also, her poll numbers right now can't be trusted because she was previously out of the spotlight and behind the scenes. They could easily go much higher once she's out campaigning.

That aside about grammar around the three-minute mark almost makes me want to go through the whole thing with a red pen and some "see me"-style remarks. Almost.

I… don't actually agree with regard to the British parliament. I can see why it would _look_ like that lesson but I cannot overstate the extent to which Labour is _not_ a left party any more. They've been purging left MPs, they've accepted a bunch of defectors from the Tories, including appointing several of them to their new cabinet, and in general they are now to the right of where the Tories were a decade ago. The Liberal Democrats are to the left of Labour now, and being essentially a centrist party is _in their name._

I absolutely get your point on that... I kind of think that if you take the French Parliamentary Chart, for example, anyone in the Macronist section and left, to me, has to be included in "The Left" for purposes of the next decade or so, at least until this fascist wave abates. I think Labour needs to abandon its Rightward tilt. That said, I would trust it to abandon the Two-child benefit cap far before the Tories ever would. And I'd expect them to actually TRY to renationalize rail, even if it takes them far too long. (The LD proposal falls short of that IIRC). What gives me hope for Britain is that if you added the votes for Green + SNP + PC + LD + Corbynist/Indies + Labour you'd get far more than Conservative + Reform, no matter what the Murdoch press would say.

@@keepleft801 yeah. I fear, though, that Labour has too large a margin to be willing to form a not-fascist coalition, and gained it in a way too reliant on FPTP for them to go for the electoral reform that would make one possible at the next election. Labour's fundamental attitude is, and has been for decades with the exception of the couple of years Corbyn led it, "we can be as right-wing as we like; it's not like the left will vote Tory".

The accurate and important information is somewhat undercut by repeatedly calling it "project 2525" rather than "project 2025", implying it's 500 years away

So you believe that people can be born in the wrong body?
@DaraelDraconis 3 ай бұрын
For some value of "wrong". People can be born in bodies that do not align with what their minds expect or would be comfortable with. They can also be born in bodies they're perfectly comfortable with but assigned social roles and categories on the basis thereof that don't fit them, and such people have every right to reject those roles and categories.

@@DaraelDraconis " People can be born in bodies that do not align with what their minds ..." You have no understanding of how cognition works. The body is first and cognition represents reality. Gender is the Cognitive Structure that represents biological sex, which is why 99.9% of the people have no problem with their gender. Because of trauma and shame, some people reject their body and they convince themselves that theyt are the other gender. Absolutely ridiculous.

Hormones, puberty blockers, haven't existed for ever. Face it, it's the end of gender ideology

Hormones have existed as long as humans have. _Supplementary_ hormones - hormone replacement therapy - haven't, sure, but that's not what you said. For that matter, most medicines haven't existed forever. Yet you're only campaigning against the ones that help trans people. Weird, that.
