Corbyn Supporters Blame Labour Coup on Zionist Plot

Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters believe he’s a victim of a Zionist plot to oust him from the leadership.

heatst.com

Here it fucking comes, as expected. 80% of Labour MPs voted no confidence in Corbyn. Do you really believe that 80% of Labour MPs are being controlled and manipulated by “Zionists?” If so, you’re probably an antisemite. You are subscribing to the kind of antisemitic conspiracy theory which has led to mass expulsion, ghettoization and genocide of Jews. Overestimation of “Jewish power” is one of the central tropes of antisemitism. So is using “Zionist” as a dog whistle for “Jew.” Don’t let this happen.

#uk politics #antisemitism #I've been following this shit show #and I'm just amazed by how terrible and fucked up the entire thing is #the whole inquiry thing is just so fucked up #brexit #it's adjacent to it but tagging for people's blacklist

This being called “UK independence” is a huge kick in the teeth to the former colonies who were put through hell and fought to gain ACTUAL independence from a ruthless imperialist regime

BREXIT: A quick note on the first three tragedies. Firstly, it was the working classes who voted for us to leave because they were economically disregarded and it is they who will suffer the most in the short term from the dearth of jobs and investment. They have merely swapped one distant and unreachable elite for another one. Secondly, the younger generation has lost the right to live and work in 27 other countries. We will never know the full extent of the lost opportunities, friendships, marriages and experiences we will be denied. Freedom of movement was taken away by our parents, uncles, and grandparents in a parting blow to a generation that was already drowning in the debts of our predecessors. Thirdly and perhaps most significantly, we now live in a post-factual democracy. When the facts met the myths they were as useless as bullets bouncing off the bodies of aliens in a HG Wells novel. When Michael Gove said ‘the British people are sick of experts’ he was right. But can anybody tell me the last time a prevailing culture of anti-intellectualism has lead to anything other than bigotry?
