Owen Jones not concerned if he ‘destroys’ his career, after having moral clarity over Gaza

“...how the world cannot be screaming at the top of its lungs against this crime”
British columnist Owen Jones says that having moral clarity over the 'mass murder' of individuals in Gaza has made him tough, he is not concerned about the potential consequences for his career because he believes that he is doing 'the right thing'.
Jones quit the Labour Party last month, despite being a member since he was 15, due to what he said was Keir Starmer's fundamental 'dishonesty' particularly with regards to the assault on Gaza which is ‘the great crime of our age’.

[@garypark9202]

@@1mgcontacts I am sufi-taoist. Not a religion, but my personal spiritual approach is dialectic mysticism. This grew out of an earlier zen practice. zen itself is dialectic mysticism (rooted in taoism and buddhism), so you could also say sufi-taoism is a particular expression of zen and I wouldn't disagree. I would say, however, my rock climbing background casts me as very tao. The yin yang symbol suggests tao is also dialectical mysticism, and for many years, I regarded myself as simply taoist. A counselor asked me what a taoist is several years ago. I replied, "if you are a follower, you are not a taoist. if you are a leader, you are also NOT a taoist" From your comment, I gather we are both anarchists 🤔😉.
