Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

I'm very aware that when I talk about politics in a more radical way than a vague kind of socialist one that I may come across as a conspiracy theorist. And that fear makes me more silent than I ought to be.

Me too. It never seems to stop real conspiracy theorists oddly enough.
 
Guido is on the case, picking up on all the dodgy memes.


btw, what is interesting much of the worst stuff comes from people at least in their forties, many much older, it doesn't seem to be exercising the younger members, who seem bemused by it all.
Guido used to be a eugenicist. I moved in the same circles (meaning parties and mutual acquaintances) as a teenager.
 
I was told that by friends who looked disgusted by it, I think it was the stupid he looked down on most. He was an arrogant shit.

The phrase 'conspiracy theorist' is a pejorative designed to shut down legitimate enquiry - it's designed like that. And it gets us self-censoring, as you say. I suggest ignoring all that.

After all what is in Nexus years ago might be in yesterday's Europhysics News

Warning: link is to a direct PDF download of yet more bollocks about 9/11 controlled demolition.
 
To get more contentious, athe only real antisemitism I have seen recently is from Muslims. Not IS, or from very political types. I don't know how common it is, my Muslim or from that background friends and coleagues don't think like that.

The Momentum woman was stupid to say what she did after the rest of the fuss, which I think was mostly a smear.

Not taking the 'correct' line on an issue from a perspective of giving a shit about even more victims might be clumsy, but it isn't racist.

It is bizarre to think you can't critisise Israel without being considered antisemitic. That is not a 'trope'.

I think it was nino_savatte who asked if anyone has brought up "self haters" as a concept. I did, but just to say I hadn't seen it used yet, but maybe I'm not getting out enough. It has been used to attack Jews in favour of Palastinian rights for decades.
 
Well the 'bollocks' you refer to is published in Europhysics News which is a pretty serious scientific publication.

And what did Europhysics News say about the article?

The Editors of EPN are shocked that the article has been used to support conspiracy theories related to the attacks on the WTC. The Editors of EPN do not endorse or support these views.
 
Argued with conspiracy theorists enough in my time and you have a track record, anyone who wants the actual truth can do a bit a of googling. You can fuck off.
You are suggesting that articles in scientific publications are to be ignored, and those posting them dismissed, in place of googling. Interesting

It's a magazine. It publishes opinions, not peer reviewed science. In fact the editors of said organ have issued this statement regarding that very article:

Forthcoming Letters to the Editor should be interesting.

Yes - the science here is only concerned with how, and not who. It is clearly not the place of Europhysics News to endorse any theories as to who.

Forthcoming Letters to the Editor should be interesting.
Absolutely! :)

Which muslims, who? Give us some examples, even if anecdotally.

Bollocks.

That article is a mishmash of nitpicking, speculation and whataboutery. It offers nothing conclusive and the publisher has added a disclaimer at the start.
 
I didn't know but looks like there's a long history of people claiming that Jews were chief financiers of the slave trade and should carry a special guilt for it. It has no basis in fact at all but it's been said a lot over the years, mostly by people like David Duke and on unashamedly fascist type websites, or specialist sites like 'jew watch'.
Far as I can see it's either ok to repeat that sort of claim or it's not ok.
If it's not ok when white supremacists say it, then we really do live in strange times when so many people are willing to argue that its totally different when Jackie Walker makes the same mistake. :(

You know, the fact that scientific publications might have the integrity to publish a "dissenting view" (and think about how your average 9/11 troofer treats views that dissent from their narrative) does not automatically mean it's scientifically valid. Anyone going from "published into a scientific journal" to "must therefore be true" is demonstrating an appalling degree of naivety.

Not to mention that this is a rather classic example of the way in which the "truther" movement is very, very happy to cherrypick its sources - Big Science is bad, corporate, and trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the sheeple most of the time...but then it does something which the conspiraloon tendency can drag in as part of its scattershot argument, and all of a sudden, it's "Hey, but it's science!".

He missed an opportunity there: that police van is (badly) parked on a double yellow line. He should have whipped out his Freeman on the Land non-Birth Certificate, and made a citizen's arrest of the 5 coppers arresting him. Tsk. I'm sure there must be some 1348 law about tying your sheep to bollards that could have been unrecognisably bent and twisted to suit the purpose.
