I just watched the 'UK IS DYING AND I NEED TO VENT' video and I think we can all agree there is no hope for anyone in this country whatsoever, except for the landlords and triple locked pensioners, so with that said should we all go abroad? If so then where? Or should we just do our best to find a way to make it in this country? Maybe I should go teach English in China, but moving away from what I know is scary.
590 posts and 113 image replies omitted.Honestly, do people at the Guardian or UK media in general every notice the cognitive dissonance when they have "hard discussions" about the Muslim community, and things like a potential Islamophobia definition, then remember how they acted towards anybody who dared even inferred the Jewish community might be the slightly bit biased toward Israel, or that the Antisemitism defintion was clearly going to be used to attack critics of Israel, and mentioning Israel or Zionism at all as part of an "Antisemitism" defintion was clearly not really justified?
It honestly comes off pretty mental that literally you have half of Parliament against a Islamophobia definition because of "Free Speech" but these exact same people were in meltdown over people criticising the clearly bad faith IHRA definition, that actually has been used to shut down free speech.
Like honestly how did Guardian journos actually bring themselves to go around with David Baddiel and pretend that Antisemitism was "the only form of bigotry not taken seriously in the UK", fucking unreal.
>>2222141Never forget that 2 UK elections were basically rigged by Israel and it's lobby groups like the BoD, CAAS, LAAS, JLM.
Reminder that the Jewish Labour movement was literally refounded in 2016 by an Israeli lobbyist for the express purpose of taking down Corbyn.
Reminder that Israeli UK embassy officials put bounties on the heads of MPs that were "not loyal to Israel".
>>2227573How did TRA's think they would win this? They have no definition of a woman that isnt constantly morphing gobdlygook every time there is a new Trender goalpost shift.
>>2227613Yep, it's largely based on metaphysical gnosticism. I think there is a strong argument for a third "non-binary" offical gender category, but denying the material reality, socialization and experiences and biology of biological women is a pretty dangerous step to take, and one I think the left massively misfired on.
The reality is as well, the TRA movement is extremely aggressive cult like and doesn't take questions or any constructive criticism well, and engages in mass censorship and abuse of people who dare even ask clarifying questions. I know for a fact, within the left, probably only a large minority unquestionably support TRAs (this is backed up by polling on specific positions as well, almost nobody in polling supports Transwomen in sports competing with biological women for example, yet on the left you have to pretend to support this shibboleth), but the rest have to stay quiet because they know the sort of "bigotry" blowback they get for speaking out.
Even here on Leftypol it's the quickest way to get banned, even if you are critiquing TRA Liberalism from a clearly Marxist/Materialist position, and almost no major Communist party supports the TRA ideology.
>>2228563If women can't compete against transwomen in sports (including intellectual ones like chess) then why should women ever be allowed to vote or take critical positions of power?
If you can't compete in a play-sport, why do you pretend you're as good as a "biological man" in something like running a company or nation?
PS: if you deported every transphobe you would notice a 92% reduction in the rightwing party according to polling. It is the most effective identifier for a rightoid, even outclassing things like "do you define yourself as a fiscal conservative" or "do you hate blacks" or "do you hate the poor"
>>2228860>>2228864Thermonuclear thrvth bomb from this anon i am afraid. Feminism as of today is just a grievance movement like zionism or diasporoid islamism, except they don't even put their bodies on the line like the other two and instead delegates the work to their leftist male submissives.
I disagree with your framing of terfs being "white nazi n shiet" it's a framing that's still stuck in cringe 2010 whitey bad leftism.
Outside of the UK in particular most terf and their allies are brown strivers, off-whites women, zogbots etc. They're very similar to the redpill manosphere in that aspect.
I agree they should be deported to their home country/el salvador and be politically disfranchised, though.
They also love to spend a big amount of time and political capital into demonizing young white males while ignoring brown male and muslim agressions i remarked. Netflix Adloscence brand of feminism. Gross.
This is why i always rejected the framing of terfs being right-wing, they do collaborate plenty with the right for sure, but it's because the latter got #raped so hard in the field of culture and ideas they became the old boomer left.
>"Everything is a social construct EXCEPT SEX!! Also don't you EVER EVER EVER EVER have sex with my daughter!!"This is the only ideology the right and feminism have anymore.
>>2228926uygha you people spent the last 20 years repeating the white man is evil, women are qveen even when they're not and islam is great now you wonder why everyone think you reeks of AIDS then you blame transhumanists for your impotence and unpopularity? Be serious you monkey.
I hate this country and everything it stands for.
I hate our government, our politicians, out courts, our media, the population that cheers on bigotry, hatred, and the scapegoating and stripping of rights from minorities.
I hate the so called "Communist" parties that despise me and wish I didn't exist, that hold reactionary social positions, positions that are directly promoted to them and funded by American fascists and religious nationalists.
The CPB and CPGB-ML hold positions on trans rights that have been denounced as bigoted and hateful cultural war distractions by actual socialist states, Cuba and Vietnam.
The CPC recognises the rights of trans women to exist in social life, and allows people to use whatever facilities make the most sense, unlike the social fascists of the CPB, CPGB-ML or the UK Labour regime. The DDR had more progressive trans policies than either the CPB, CPGB-ML, or current UK regime.
This is a Barbarian Fascist Zionist TERF shithole beyond being saved and I hope it burns to the ground.
Nobody who cheers as my basic human rights are stripped away to draw attention away from the massive growing wealth inequality is a comrade of mine.
I'm currently awaiting medical treatment for a physical health condition but as soon as that's sorted out I'll be saving up to leave for Ireland where for now at least my humanity is respected.
I dare any of you to try to provide an example of how in any way this is a win for women's rights. Please, try to explain what new rights a woman now has.
Because women already had the legal right to create single sex spaces where only AFAB individuals were allowed.
There are no new women's rights, only rights stripped away from transgender people.
All this now means is that a trans woman who never even went through a male puberty due to hormone blockers, who has a female ID, who has a pussy and tits from surgery and hormones - will now be legally forced into men's toilets, men's hospital wards, into men's prisons, into being groped, strip searched and assaulted by police MEN if she's arrested.
The TERFs, courts, and government (all the same tbh) can't even decide yet if this ruling means trans people are forced to now use the wrong bathrooms, or are barred from sexed bathrooms altogether.
Let's evaluate both options.
If we're forced to use the wrong facilities, how are you going to enforce that? The only option is chromosomal identification checks at each toilet door. That's unenforceable.
Again, with that option, look forward to burly bearded trans men with cocks going into women's changing rooms and bathrooms. That's the law now.
Look forward to the inevitable many cases of brutal violence and sexual assault against trans women using men's bathrooms too.
And if it's the alternative option, and we can't use either space, then what do you expect trans people to do? To take up disabled people's spaces? To piss and shit against walls and in bushes?
Do you expect every business and building in the country to rush to build transgender or unisex bathrooms and facilities?
No, in fact businesses are already considered removing ALL bathrooms, or removing women's bathrooms to make a unisex space.
This is the dumbest shit imaginable and it won't take long for the consequences to now play out. But hey, at least you can call us men as much as you want to our faces again and we just have to take it. Well done, so Socialist of you. I feel sick to be on this fucking island.
>>2232400>Almost three in five teachers said they believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schoolsfrom this article:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crm3x92mpdxowhat does "Almost three in five" mean? Two in five? What utterly meaningless garbage.
>>2232429another doozy:

>>2232508nothing, I forgot to delete that.
That being said, you are talking about the shiny jangling keys they are waving in front of you.
>>2228563As a point of "law" the pro-trans side had a very simple case:
1. They'd won their argument before in lower courts, and this was appealed upwards.
2: (this is a bit more long winded)
In 2004 the gender recognition act said that if you've got a certificate, your sex becomes what that certificate says for nearly all legal purposes (including not being able to marry someone or the same sex, or for the purposes of the sex discrimination act 1975)
In 2010 the equality act had protections for sec discrimination and also for gender reassignment. A rational interpretation of the government's intention at this point was to take an expansive view of rights, and that the GRA2004 affects this legislation like all others, since it doesn't specifically say "btw this doesn't apply to people who've got a GRC"
But instead, after a hearing where no trans people got to speak but anti-trans orgs could throw in ad-hoc statements at will, the supreme court has gone with "well when *this* law says women, it clearly doesn't mean everyone who is by-law a woman, it only means *common-sense* women*, not women who're legally women by virtue of a GRC. however it would also be proportionate to ban a trans man (logically, in this view, a woman) from single sex spaces too."
This effectively makes the GRA2004 worthless for those who don't like collecting certificates. It's a deranged interpretation of the intentions of the EA2010. (Cut out and keep that last sentence, it'll come up a lot!)
A good Marxist, or frankly any good politics understander, can see the motivations at play here. The law "isn't real", there isn't a magical "true" interpretation out there that the court finds -it makes one up when questions arise. so far as the law "is" real and the court merely interprets it, the supreme court's interpretation of it is deranged. What actually happened is that the people in power - including the judges! - don't like transgender people in public life and institutions serve the interests of power. It should be instructive for liberals: the law can't protect you when they're really out to get you.
You may agree with the outcome of the case, but the process has been transparently crooked. Scotland was allowed to pass gay marriage with no issues (despite it impacting on reserved matters) in a more socially liberal era, but then had its GRA reform bill vetoed for impacting on those same matters now that said liberal era is drawing to an end. The justification for this veto no longer holds thanks to this new interpretation of the EA2010, but it'll remain in place regardless. If things were running as they should, if institutions were fair and neutral, that would never happen.
The Judge who decided on the trans case formerly worked for the Church of Scotland, and informed their stance on gay rights.
Back then, he stated he believes homosexuality is a sin and that gay people must resist their urges to engage in any sexual activity, and it was his opinion that formed the church policy.
Why is a man with a history of stating his opposition to LGBT rights, and with strong links to the church, the one in charge of deciding the rights of every trans person in the UK?
Doesn't that seem like a conflict in interests?
The same man also met with 5 different TERF and anti-trans groups in deciding the supreme court case, and allowed them to present evidence and speak before the court.
He even went as far as to allow them to use evidence that wasn't submitted in advance, and so couldn't be viewed or questioned by the opposing side.
He, and the court, also refused to meet with single trans person or any pro-trans organisations, or to accept any evidence from them.
The entire thing is a farce. It will very easily be overturned as corrupt, nonsensical, and discriminatory by the ECHR, assuming we're still a member in several years time.
But if Farage has his way, we'll be out by then, and I can see Keir leaving the ECHR beforehand to try to win votes from Reform.
But by then we'll have seen trans people killed and committing suicide, so it will already be too late.
Until then, we have a literal apartheid for trans people, who can't use publicly facilities the rest of society are allowed to access.
As a final note: there is nothing communist about the CPB. The CPB hates minorities.
If you are a CPB member you might as well start wearing a swastika armband at this point.
>>2227613That's just a word salad. You're using terms without knowing their meaning. Pathetic. Go read a book, or preferably, take a knife and slit your wrists.
>>2228563>>2230167Mask off. What's this about 'TRAs' being misogynistic? Die you sexist scum. There is no space for this in the moveemnt. Comrades Lenin, Stalin and Mao would be disgusted by what you just said. Take the flag off because you are closer to Nazis than anyone else. Aw, trans people are being mean to you? Bullying you on the internet? Grow the fuck up. We experience worse on a daily basis. We are going to hang you on a lamp post you fascist scum, you have no place in the socialist movement and in fact you are likely a /pol/ refugee. If we see you and know what you are saying, we will inflict physical violence on you.
>>2231774Let's make our own group then, I've been trying to say this for years but nobody is actually going to do anything. It's right to shit on the social-fascist CPB, but we've got to take the next step after that.
