if someone has read some shit on the internet about, say, jews controlling everything, or that trans people are going to rape them in a toilet, then they can definitely be wrong. im not saying that there isnt genuine things that need to be addressed, but my whole point is how this is being used by the far right. it seems to me that you're misunderstanding me deliberately.
and maybe you should change your view if you find yourself isolated on an issue and among other people running with the issue are those you despise.
Changing your view usually happens by talking / getting new information, not just by deciding to get on the right side of whatever.
that's a great post.
yea i dont think that's quite what he said, he means rethinking the position, not necessarily changing it. rethinking would be thinking about it in terms of new information and experiences.
you do know what maybe means, right? after all you used the word yourself. perhaps you should change your views if the people running with your pov are among those you despise and you find yourself isolated on an issue. perhaps. not you should.
You're right, there's nothing that can be compared to antisemitism in the idea that a small group of people are secretly influencing 'big pharma' and the media in order to put across their agenda, or that the said group of people are extremely privileged (and trying to oppress everyone else) and that we shouldnt be worried about anything they say given that they only represent about 1% of the population. Don't know where i got the idea where there was a resemblance. The fact that anti-trans articles and antisemitic bullshit have appeared side by side in outlets like the Morning Star have been another complete coincidence too. Silly me.
oh great, here we fucking go.this is just what i was talking about a few pages back
Loads of different genders? Please explain?
@ frogwoman.
Not on my reading list to be fair.
Why are you content to discuss issues on this thread about the Anarchist Bookfair given you campaigned to have the thread about trans politics (now locked) closed?
Morning Star running anti semetic articles? Can you link to one please?
Thats me considering re Brexit then.
Total acceptance that they print transphobic articles then.
Given you are I am going to approach the mods asking for that thread to be unlocked and hope this one will be more bookfair related.
Any anti semetic article links then?
I'm not interested in a Morning Star is going down the pan discussion but am very interested in frogwoman's assertion that it ran anti semetic articles. I haven't read The M Star for years but still would be surprised and a bit shocked if the assertion is true.
