  • There was undeniably consternation over the creation of Israel within some of the British, in particular by the pretty open antisemites, back in the day.

    The UK over the last 40 years has been increasingly all in on the Zionist project. Zionist influence in our very incestuous media/political establishment is absurdly prevalent and we absolutely use our unconditional support of Israel not to launder our WW2 history, but to claim anti-racist/anti-fascist credentials (*only applies to Israel though) despite the fact that we’re getting worse, not better, when it comes to our systemic racism and imperialism. And we absolutely use it as a suckup/bargaining chip to remind the US of our pathetic importance in the so called ‘special relationship’.

    Moreso than just that though, far from the British establishment (public or deep state/old money types) being iffy about the Israeli state, the establishment here has gone from using Gaza as a lab for our arms companies and civil repression techniques, to embracing Israel as a new model for Britain as a state going forward. Not only do they love Israel, they see the future of the Britain as a version of the Israeli state.








  • 100-com% agree with the one small, even more depressing exception of…

    You identify with him because you see yourselves as equals on opposite sides of a fair fight.

    It’s actually worse than that. It’s wishcasting that they might also be in danger from this perceived rising tide of violence against political figures, because they know they’re not Kirk’s opposite number. It probably soothes the ego to think you might be murdered for your fierce righteous and correct speech.

    Especially compared to the acknowledgement that the likes of Ben are comparing themselves to a billionaire-bankrolled fascist shill, yes, but one that attracted thousands to events, millions of views, and was part of a movement that successfully took over one of the two parties and got their guy in to the white house, twice. When the reality is that even at post DSA meeting drinks most people there wouldn’t know or care who the fuck Ben is.

    Not only does it trivialise what fascist piece of shit who did active harm Kirk was, it also completely trivialises Ben’s own mealymouthed liberal arguement when it’s all about ego, clout, and fantasy over inadequacy.





  • Pretty much from minute one and I doubled down in that thread where we saw the video of him jumping off the roof, because it was clear it wasn’t a pro but a kid.

    I’m an old man from across the pond who only knows what a ‘groyper’ is from online cultural osmosis, but to care about Kirk alone it had to be someone on the right either as infighting or provocation/false flag, and edgelord nazi school shooter types fucking hate billionaire-media posers on the right more than anyone.

    I’m old enough to remember Euro Nazis knocking each other off all through the 90s and early 2000s for their white power not being white enough and all manner of petty interpersonal shit.
