    Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

    Proof, if it were needed, that vegans are dangerous and angry. Fortunately we don’t allow armed vegans to walk the streets in the UK which has contributed to the lack of vegunnery here and forced angry Brit vegans to rely on rhubarb clubs an tofupults.

    Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

    I'm surprised that none of the forum antis has jumped all over this one yet... "Plz don't be an opportunistic political point scorer by using this tragedy to attack a movement for compassion."

    Beating the Fascists: The authorised history of Anti-Fascist Action

    Just read The Rise of The Right by Simon Winlow (Author), Steve Hall (Author) https://www.amazon.co.uk/rise-Right-nationalism-transformation-working-class/dp/1447328485 Its a devastating and powerful polemic on how at a time of...

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    Last time I checked, The Morning Star was the political voice of those closer to socialism. Where do you think gender critical socialism should have a voice, especially now that you and your sisters want any one with an ounce of doubt about trans ideology or simple concern about the direction of...

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    Yes, like both of mine. "No woman should have to identify with her shackles. Gender is the oppressor not a mere "identity"" and "People asking women to give up their hard won seats at the political table should ponder on why do those seats need to be taken from women when men are the one's who...

    Julia Serano, Andrea James, Zinnia Jones and a bunch of 'rationalists' (LOL) do exactly that: The real "autogynephilia deniers" | Whipping Girl Autogynephilia: a disputed diagnosis Alice Dreger, autogynephilia, and the misrepresentation of trans sexualities (Book review: Galileo’s Middle...

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    I wasn't attacking you over the Daily Mail, just your comrades. I was attacking you for cosying up to a Tory misogynist. I think it reveals you as part of a movement that has lost all semblance of objectivity, that is reduced to conspiracy theories and crackpot 1970s sexology, and that is...

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    Given one of the foundations of your wisdom involves crudely shoehorning autogynephilia into areas it doesnt belong, you'll always be a bigot to me.

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    No, and neither did 'classic liberals'. My political compass is JS Mill, who was not just years ahead of his own time, but is years ahead of now, with his thoughts on democracy, women's rights and free speech. Please advise me of anything I have ever said that is 'bigoted'.

    Croydon - nightlife, accommodation, things to do and general chat

    This is 17 year-old Aren Mali, 17, from Kenley ... ... 29 October 2017, shortly before 7 p.m., he was stabbed to death after a fight which spilled into Whitgift Shopping Centre in the centre of Croydon, and became the the 21st teenager killed on London's streets in 2017. Aren was pronounced...

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    Please do not lie about me. I am not a ‘self confessed autogynephile’. On the contrary, I argue for honesty and compassion for those who live with this. I have written on this subject many times and always referenced the scientific literature which defines the typology and which lends empirical...

    What book did the most to shape your politics?

    Animal Farm Animal Farm's message is not that socialism inevitably fails. Rather it describes with great clarity the weaknesses which ultimately sabotage attempts to put socialism into practice. Its target is not socialist ideals but the political systems that fail those ideals , that sabotage...

    Beating the Fascists: The authorised history of Anti-Fascist Action

    There is a long established instinct on the liberal Left to act when thinking is required and to chin-stroke when action is required. Taking time out inside a bubble inside an echo chamber might be calming, and may even be understandable given the situation we are in. But unless the militant...

    Spanish Political News

    I put up some stats on corruption in the form of a graphic, from Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic islands. As far as I know they are correct. If I am coming across as one sided it's because I find the other side horrendous and I don't give much credit to their reasoned arguments, I mean...

    Spanish Political News

    I think that it's another spectacular own goal from the Spanish government. I mean, independentistas could have been stopped in their tracks with any one of the following; common sense, compassion, Machiavellianism, or the very referendum they have been denied, more or less any time in the past...

    How much do you agree with these statements?

    ...the answer to an assent-based question which is flawed should always be "no" - it tends to give me funny scores on things like the political compass, though, especially when it comes to interpretations of what "ought to" means. Anyway, I'd be perturbed by anyone who signed up happily to all...

    Identity Politics: the impasse, the debate, the thread.

    It's on campus where ID politics tends to be at its most toxic - particularly in the US but the UK has its issues, especially in London universities. I would confidently guess that the mere mention of "identity politics" to them would be a dogwhistle that results in them accusing you of not...

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    I'm increasingly thinking that the principal damage identity politics* is doing is to erode the idea of solidarity, and crucially that solidarity is very different from agreement. I don't have to agree with the way some trans people approach gender to be willing to support them as an oppressed...

    Transgender is it just me that is totally perplexed?

    There are plenty of tricky questions that need addressing, and there's no reason to think there are easy answers to all of them. We grope our way forward. But the starting point to that groping for better systems has to be respect towards those who don't fit into current systems, and paying...
