UK Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful, in humiliating blow for ministers
<Thousands arrested for supporting group since proscription are now in legal limbo as Mahmood says she will appeal
>Judges have humiliated ministers by insisting Palestine Action should not be banned under anti-terrorism laws in a ruling that has left thousands of its alleged supporters in legal limbo
>The high court said on Friday the government’s proscription of the direct action group was “disproportionate and unlawful” and that most of their activities had not reached the level, scale and persistence to be defined as terrorism

Daniel Defoe on the "True-Born Englishman" (1701):
<These sort of people, who call themselves true-born, and tell long stories of their families, and like a nobleman of Venice, think a foreigner ought not to walk on the same side of the street with them, are own'd to be meant in this Satire […] as for a true-born Englishman, I confess I do not understand him. From hence I only infer, that an Englishman, of all men, ought not to despise foreigners as such, and I think the inference is just, since what they are to-day, we were yesterday, and to-morrow they will be like us. If foreigners misbehave in their several stations and employments, I have nothing to do with that; the laws are open to punish them equally with natives, and let them have no favour […] speaking of Englishmen ab origine, we are really all foreigners ourselves.https://www.gutenberg.org/files/30159/30159-h/30159-h.htm#EXPLANATORY>>2698148Doesn't Carl Benjamin have a mixed race kid?
>>2698161Carl Benjamin himself has non-white ancestry. In this video he claims to have a black granddad:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CsiPbyy0Jhgreminds me of neema parvini or nick fuentes, as these exceptional minorities who often over-identify with racially hostile white people because they can pass well enough. its just coonery and cognitive dissonance.
Reminder Sargon, when asked on the morality of paedophilia, stated "it depends on the child". Yet all the hitlerian chuds close their ears and still worship him.
He goes around broken impoverished towns destroyed by Thatcher and austerity and blatantly implies it's the existence of brown people who are responsible for the economic decay of society with zero evidence besides "look at this brown person I think looks ugly".
Hope he gets Kirked.

You are israeli.
>>2698172There's no point in bringing this up really. At the end of the day, all these people support is complete and total arbitrary rule of the rich. There is no hypocrisy you can point out to them because its not really about that, its actually just about defending elite perogatives.
The argument for Positivity:
Anyone can be pessimistic. Being pessimistic is somehting anyone can do, and something most people even enjoy. But it isn't something anyone finds attractive or magnetic in a person. People want to be pessimistic themselves but no-one wants to trust or be around pessimistic people. So if you're intent is to interact with any human at all, THEY want to be pessimistic, but they don't want YOU to be pessimistic, they want you to be a rock that recognizes their pessimism and finds a way out for them.
>>2698696Cheers for that Plato
>>2698699But its true? Communists these days on line just lament over and over again about how shit everything and everyone is and how our time is corrupt. Does the future belong to these people? What do they want, a medal for for complaining? And these are "the vanguard"? A bunch of people who jump on twitter to cry about how unfair the world is?

Like in Hegel's analysis of Sophocles' Antigone (440 BCE), we see the civic antagonism between the oikos and polis expressed in the law.
>>2698677It does matter when their internal political enemies deport them.
Btw Manchester has a big Britain First demo. So far the fascists have failed to reach their end location because of an antifa counter-demo has took a strategic crossroads. There was a seperate "Stand up to Racism" Liberal demo that didn't stop them at all but they would have had to pass by them. More as I hear it. The Canary (throwback) has a bunch of on the ground reporting.

Fuck the jannies btw, for letting retard /pol/acks hang around ITT, even despite being reported.
>>2699397I've never understood why political parties are tied to economics, they should be separate systems. Like with the house of lords.
>>2699408actually, scratch that, I understand perfectly - politics is a pantomime for the plebs
>>2699397AMLO in mexico was socially conservative while fiscally leftist and his party has basically taken over mexico.
what he pines for is a Christian democracy that leans to the left like south american politicians, less like western euro christian democrats who lean to the right
>On the European left-right political spectrum, Christian democracy has been difficult to pinpoint, as Christian democrats have often rejected liberal economics and individualism and advocated state intervention, while simultaneously defending private property rights against excessive state intervention.[19] This has meant that Christian democracy has historically been considered centre-left on economics and centre-right on many social and moral issues. >>2699498>fiscally leftistbro the 'bank of England' and some other 3 letter agencies set the interest rates in the U.K

>>2699397The repeated failures of the Worker's Party has thoroughly debunked this arguement.
These people just want an excuse to be able to bash LGBT people again.

British History Lesson - Have you heard of the British KKK?
The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift was simultaneously a Scouting/Crafting/Hiking organisation for teenage boys and girls, an Occult/Neopagan religious order, and left wing political movement active from 1920 - 1951.
It was founded in opposition to the Scouts, who were seen as being too nationalistic and militaristic, and not focused enough on practical handicrafts and skills.
It eventually transformed into a political party, The Social Credit Party of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, more commonly known as "The Greenshirts", active from 1932 - 1951.
As a political movement, their stated goals were:
>Universal Basic Income (refered to as "Social Credit" by the party)
>Agrarian Socialism
>Opposition to Nationalism
>Pacifism
At it's peak, the party won 11% of the vote in the Leeds South seat during the 1935 general election.
Various Labour, independent Socialist, and even Fascist politicians supported the party's key policy of Social Credit / UBI.
The organisation was linked to various incidents of destruction of state property, including at 11 Downing Street by throwing green painted bricks through the windows.
Perhaps you've seen the 1973 film, The Wicker Man? Aesthetically it was very reminscent of all that - there was a big emphasis on aesthetics: on a sense of folky-ness, rural identity, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic dress, Morris Dancing, Sword Dancing, "the Old Ways". Lots of dressing in animal costumes, and a theology loosely based on some blend of Western Esotericism, Ceremonial Magic, Nature Worship, European Paganism, Native American religion, Theosophy, and Thelema.
The group had steady growth and popularity throughout the 20s and 30s. However, from the onset of WW2 the UK government prohibited almost all of their activities, and they were not able to recover their numbers or popularity in the post-war period.
What were the results of the Britain First march in Manchester?
>>2699889isn't suppression of legal protest fascistic in and of itself?
>>2700326>If you stop fascists from doing fascist things, you're basically a fascist yourself!Not how it works. Supporting fascism (or any other rightist ideology) should be a crime and punished accordingly.
>>2700762>nuh uh, we're the good guys!can we quickly re-establish the fact that fascism is basically an abuse of power and therefore only the people in charge of a regime can be fascists, and that the people themselves do not wish to be ruled under a fascist regime? Just real quick like
>>2700762>punished accordinglylike that kid who got murdered in France?
Mob justice is okay when you say it is? Isn't that just as bad?
>>2700767That's plainly incorrect though. You don't have to be a politician or leader of a nation to be a fascist. If you actively support fascist ideology and/or a fascist party… you are a fascist.
>>2700770>>2700773The notion that the left has to take some moral high ground and renounce any kind of boldness, action or authority… that we must be soft, passive, meek and hyper-democratic is stupid.
If you believe that socialism/communism is right and fascism is wrong, then yes we should use what tools are available to use to further our success and crush our enemies before the crush us.
If the people are too stupid or have been too brainwashed to accept what is for their own good then give them dictatorship until they are freed from rightist indoctrination. It's better to force them into a better outcome than to give them the freedom to choose to suffer and decline.
We are not pacifists, vegetarians, hippies or liberals. Those of you adhering to the rulebook of such people, instead of the rules of our enemies, need to re-evaluate your naive outlooks.
>>2701202>That's plainly incorrect though.You have democracy, the freedoms that affords you and the rule of law. As soon as you start fucking around with any of those things by applying them differently to different people in different situations because of your political views, that *is* fascism.
>>2701202Case in point, the JSO people gluing themselves to the roads (or planes even!) was and is considered illegal. However because it aligned with political agendas, they were given a huge amount of leeway and it took police hours to make simple arrests. Everyday people had to suffer as a result.
Now, if you remember, there were similar defiant protests by the same people to prevent migrants being moved into that Bibby Stockholm boat? Remember that? But because political agenda did not align with this, the bus driver basically just ran them over and nothing happened as a result. Let me find a vid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnP6ydveVy8This fluid application of righteousness is the essence of fascism, and you are guilty of it.
>>2701286also, PA was made into a terrorist organisation because of criminal damage to aircraft, and yet you have JSO doing similar things (probably the same bunch of people let's be honest) and it is deemed acceptable protest.
