I fucking, fucking, FUCKING HATE writing about "antisemitism". I am so motherfucking SICK of it. I hate the word. I hate the rapey, gaslighting way all western institutions are constantly forcing this fake narrative down our throats that opposing genocide and apartheid and crazy wars means you secretly hate some random tiny religious group. Hate it, hate it, HATE it.
But I have to keep writing about it, because if you let them control the narrative it just takes over and becomes the consensus reality. So essay after essay after motherfucking essay I find myself writing "Uh no actually it's not a hate crime to say you shouldn't drop military explosives on buildings full of children" like a fucking moron, over and over and over again.
These freaks make me fucking sick. I hate the way they're constantly trying to stick their gross, rapey fingers into our minds and convince us we think things we don't think and feel things we don't feel. They never stop. They're like a cloud of gnats on a humid summer day constantly trying to fly into your nose, mouth and eyes. You swat them away and they're back an instant later, swarming, suffocating.
Pieces of shit. Fucking disgusting, evil scumbags.

Sam Altman says its bad that everyone's personal computers are using the world's limited supply of memory chips.
"It’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAMs sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization."
I guess Hila went to Germany to let off some steam

everyone says being a hater is for miserable unhappy people but you guys don’t understand the kind of euphoria you get when something bad happens to someone you’ve hated for a long time like this feeling is stronger than crack
Isn't this literally a David Cameron Big Society pitch?
I was having a think about this clip, at first I got what he was saying - but then I realised when he compared to Nigel’s strategy. The comparison was off.
Nigel 5 years wasn’t saying “afghani goat herders are stealing your jobs and selling drugs to white girls”
Back then it was “you go on a train and in certain parts of london you don’t hear english”
He was good at reading the temperature and slowly turning the dial up gradually as people shifted.
I would argue it is that understanding of where the acceptable boundary is and constantly pushing up against that which is his biggest strength.
Green party should have focused on big community action movements. Organising local groups to help homeless, help people with finding work, mental health clinics, litter picks - clear visible presence in every day British life and showing your values not just telling people them.
I’m sure some do this, but given the membership base and the size of the online audience you could have been doing some very big visible & impactful stuff like that.
E.g Put 1000 green party members in clacton to help tidy up the town - when farage isn't there
This would be a stronger stratergy imo
Poltical agitation is not done by accepting the only way to changes things is to spend your precious free time doing what should be achieved by the state. Not to mention that the Zionism is Racism line does precisely target where the current popular sentiment is.

Our general secretary @AndreaEganGS has made it clear:
Engaging directly with workers should be standard for Labour cabinet ministers, not something they run away from.

Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state
