Hilarious anti-semitic RT propaganda

Understanding history through ideas, movements and trends rather than the obsession with pseudo-occult crap and conferring an almost mystical evil significance on particular individuals like Blair.

You have an absolute obsession with accusing pretty much everything of being anti-Semitic, when you are fairly islalphobic yourself.

It's like the only thing that gives you an identity is feeling that everyone hates you, it's such a victim complex.

I also find something incredibly puerile about the way that many on the left these days are incapable of viewing something through the lens of ordinary political debate. There's no room for saying, "Well, he believes X and I believe Y. He sincerely believes his policy is the best way to achieve a better quality of life for all, and I equally believe that for my views. Let's have a debate based on logic and reason".

Instead, all policy differences must be seen through the lens of the other side being deeply immoral, malevolent, that they genuinely hate the poor and so on. They even apply this childish Manichaean mindset to people on their own side (i.e. if you don't support Corbyn, you must be a Tory ergo pure evil).

Finally, I find it laughable that the far left are adorning themselves with idiotic slogans like "Never kissed a Tory". Whenever I see that, I can only think to myself what a pitifully narrow existence they must have.

One of life's great pleasures is hunting with the hounds and running with the hares. Keeping two sets of books, as it were. In any case, in my experience Tories are better kissers (with apologies to my socialist comrades).

Some of my closest friends (perhaps even a majority) are on the centre-right. All my ex-boyfriends with whom I had long-term relationships were Tories (at least of the wet, patrician variety). I take a lot of pleasure from having a wide circle of friends and knowing people of all classes, genders, sexualities, lifestyles, professions. The idea of deliberately restricting myself in friendship to a small subset of the population is as anathema as it would be to restrict myself to only reading books written by socialists.

The clip from RT is obviously meant to be funny, but it isn't particularly.

Wow. We had a reasonably good discussion the other day. You are just randomly lashing out at people. Not entirely sure why, but please grow up.

If asserting that there's something sinister about speaking Hebrew is not anti-semitic then I give up.

Err.. I'm not Jewish.

What is your major malfunction?

I completely agree with everything you have written. You're on point with everything, especially regarding how many on the left seem to find it impossible to fathom that people can have differing ideas about what strategies and policies would make quality of life better for all. They do genuinely seem to think that anyone who isn't on their side must want the world to burn. They seem to have completely lost touch of the fact that everything in politics is highly subjective and that it is almost impossible to say anything is either "right" or "wrong". They live in a very black and white world.

Most of my friends are leftists, some particularly strong socialists, but I also have good libertarian and Tory voting friends. The only people I struggle with are puritanical types, who exist both on the left and the right, although it actually seems like there are more on the left now. In the end, politics is inherently belligerent, so I prefer not to bring it up around friends, except those who I know I either agree with or who can talk about it without being too rigid. Even though I personally don't feel inclined towards socialism, I completely respect the ideology, and I think in theory it could be wonderful. What I'm really sick of is people who call themselves "left wing" and "liberal" interchangeably, and think that all those two words mean is agreeing with anything and everything in The Guardian. There are genuinely people who seem to think like this.

It's hard to pin my politics down but socially I'm somewhere between a liberal and a libertarian, and fiscally I'm a centrist.

Which means absolutely nothing!

For someone who isn't Jewish you seem to have a strange and unhealthy obsession with us.

Most of you're posts are about anti-semitism in some way and you're very quick to accuse those who dislike Zionism/Israel as being anti Semitic.

Having another meltdown I see

The clip from RT is obviously meant to be funny, but it isn't particularly.

As a progressive and an opponent of fascism, I have a strong interest in supporting any measures that ensure the safety of the Jews. As someone who is descended from Jews but not himself Jewish (and having travelled to Israel several times, gone to shul a few times on a Friday night and had whisky with the rabbi.. though not seeking to convert in any way) yes I do feel a connection to Jewish people and I have every right to do so.



Most of my posts? Not more than a fifth have anything to do with Israel or Judaism.

You on the other hand are so desperate to suck up to Islamofascists and tell them "I'm a good Jew, not one of those 'bad' Zionist Jews" that you go far beyond what is reasonable is criticising Israel.

In any case, I'm not sure why you're flipping out. We had a reasonably conversation the other day, and now you've viciously turned on me. I do wonder whether you suffer from some form of self-hatred.

RT was hit by Poe's Law because it didn't differ that much from their usual output
