That's a terrible shame. This one? https://www.facebook.com/groups/OccupyBrum/I've just been kicked out of the Occupy Birmingham Facebook group for criticising anti-semitic statements.
I think Alex Prisonplanetinforwars Jones came out against the occupy movement today.
If you like you could pm me your facebook username and then I could figure out what happened and challenge it too.
Whatever happened on the OccupyBrum wall has created divisions with new walls popping up.
this is turning into the life of fucking brian tbf.
Well that was an amusing row
It looks like the two people who put across the zionist bullshit are leaving the group of their own volition rather than being banned.. another group has been setup that won't allow any zionist or anti-zionist posting (which is a bit odd, liberal authoritarianism?).. The person who set it up was clearly against the zionism stuff but didn't want people to row over it.
I'm amused that I didn't get banned out of the group, from the sounds of it I was much more forthright than Blagsta.
Will see how this develops before I stop being part of it. At the moment I think that the zionist fucks have been made to feel unwelcome enough.. one has said he will post on his facebook wall and make it clear that the occupy birmingham does not represent the 99% but is the anarchist and communist people.. somehow imagining that his racist bullshit represents more people than anarchism and communism.. funny in a way, especially since I'd say many people invovled are into fotl stuff and unlikely to be anarchists or communists.
e2a: Luther one of the admins deleted the post where someone had posted up a link to the protocols, along with a rant about the zionist banking system.. this post was after whatever went on that Aidan got kicked out over, so you will have missed at least one of the main rows.
They just joined the dots. 'Blagsta' is an anagram of 'Stalag B', a system of camps built by the nazis to house POWs, but who else did they put in camps? - that's right - the Jew.
There's somebody at the Birmingham occupation who sports a "legalise cannabis alliance" badge.. I've not broached the subject with him cos there's been some recent crapness with the LCA that I don't want to get involved with.. but I suspect he would have some reasonable weed if you want to make the trip up here like..
You're all missing the point.
Your habit doesn't interest me. I prefer it if it was decriminalised at the very least so people who need help don't have to say 'Hello, I'm a criminal' before they get help with their addiction, etc. A more liberal attitude reduced harm & numbers using in Nederlands. A change in the way heroin addiction is treated could happen too - using real heroin at 6p per day instead of the £20 per day when treated with methodone + higher success rate of weaning off.You're all missing the point.
Note the lack of meaningful political activism in the 90s with the advent of rave culture & individualism-as-a-way-of-life.
This is your academic version of the world, one you haven't lived yourself.
