Because what Galloway is up to isn’t reflective of the attempt by conspiracist alt-Left types to exploit austerity and mass misery?

It is my friends, my community who are being furiously targeted by the likes of Galloway, the Canary et all.
People who are desperate and dying. They are an easy target for scum to peddle their red-brown scummery to

Then you should. You should take an interest in the people he’s looking for support from (ie those most hardest hit by austerity), you should take an interest in the politics that he and his fellow travelers are pushing to disabled people/those reliant on DWP, you should take an interest in how pervasive this shite is within disability politics.

What sort of stuff is he pushing?
How pervasive is it? And how significant a voice is Galloway in it all? I am concerned about The Canary and similar as they definitely have influence (see the relevant thread) but Galloway strikes me as a pretty marginal figure now. And I'm not sure why paying attention to a shitty twitter spat between him and Rachel Riley would aid combating any crap he is responsible for.

1) antisemitism
2) ‘complaints about anti-semitism is just a plot to stop labour/complaining about antisemtism means you don’t care about poor and disabled people’
3) shilling for putin and the Chinese CP

Exactly. He is marginal. So he’s seeking a new constituency. Lots of scum have made the anti-Austerity movement as a place to make themselves relevant again.

What is his row with Riley about again?
I haven't read it. I don't have much interest in either of them. Like everyone else.

Purchase with desperate people. Yes.

Its one of the many reasons that anybody exploiting conspiraloonery to promote themselves is the worst kind of scum. A lot of that stuff appeals overwhelmingly to mentally ill people so conspiraloons selling their books and artwork are mostly fleecing vulnerable people, and probably knowingly to an extent .. though when you believe you actually have The Truth then stuff you do could be argued to be diminished responsibility of some kind.
tl;dr, Galloway is still a wanker.

Did the scum make the anti austerity movement?

No. And you know that’s not what I meant.
They’ve made a space (an increasingly large space) for themselves within it.
Scum like Sivier, Topple, Nelson, Galloway (hell, even former urbanite freethepeeps/Roy Bard) have targeted the welfare/disability movement.

The return of popular support for basic social democratic politics continues to increase. These sorts of results further indicate the shift away from the constructed 'common sense' neo-liberal ideas that have been dominant for 40 years.

I didn't know - I asked because I'm not sure what you mean.
Have they made a home for themselves in the anti cuts movement? Or are they just a fixture of 'the left' which has always had its fair share of loons?
Are we talking about anti semetic scum or something else possibly with a link to anti semetism?

JK is such a zoomer. I'm no fan of Corbyn, his personality, his position, or his potential. Not even a little bit. But just knowing JK is so wound up about him kind of makes me wish I liked him more.

Zoomer? JK is way too old. Being born in 1965 makes her one of the early Gen Xers.

Is “zoomer” also a generation? In common usage round these parts it means something like “frothing-mouthed, angry spouter of incoherent unreason”. (See also Frances Barber, Dan Hodges, etc).
