Wings is also berating ordinary people for having a bit of wit. The grifters Sheridan etc al have leeched off movements now to tge point most people understand their grift. And grassroots really are not transphobic.

These people went out to build a socially Conservative movement
and found out that Scotland really isn't as socially right wing as they thought.

What Wings failed to notice was the actual movement flooding the streets on Saturday, giving out well researched and put together literature.

Wings, Salmond, Sheridan Findlay etc al are more
than yesterday's people. They are bigoted dinosaurs who thought they could be dream twisters and inject their nastiness into something that was colourful, inclusive, positive.

What you hear from them isn't the sound of indy butterfly
wings. It's the sound of an angry, dying wasp in a jar.

Social media is an amazing place to

1 feel listened to
2 grow a community
3 bring people together

4 sow discord amongst alienated people
5 pull alienated people together in cultist, right wing anger
6 create angry community

It is an incredible space to manipulate.
"Thought Reform" is on display on social media, constantly, injected in to movements in order to create discord and splits. To do this, the bad actors need to control the narrative and make people believe sometimes what was the opposite of what they once believed. Edward Hunter
came up with eight criteria to describe how totalitarian regimes/cults go about this.

1 Milieu control. The leader, or a select band, has complete control of information. Isolate people from outside information. People are taught to trust only the internal publications

The good thing is, that Sheridan and Salmond have exhausted the new following they got post 2014. There is nothing so exhausting than during each time Sheridan (and the everpresent swp) inserts himself into an organisation/movement/campaign, trying to explain to good people
just how divisive and awful this man is. Today's debacle on George Square has at last, shown good people who were caught in his gravity have managed to see through him and moved on.

The Indy movement really does not need misogynists or handsy men. It really is rejecting them
and seeing through their claims to unity and past victories.

We really must ensure these people can't wreck our movement, or aspects if it.

It really shouldn't be surprising that they have picked up transphobes (SNP hating Denise Findlay is an example of one) and rape

It's all kicked off on George "Freedum" Square, with the bam faction of the Indy movement packing a couple of benches.
I think it was the promise of MORE speakers than the advertised 12 that brought so many out.
Can't believe so few turned out to see this riveting group of bams, SWiPs , transphobes and has beens though.

Ungagged have been saying this for months. This is a great thread, not one we'd seen before today.

Thread 👇🏾 (1/13)
As others have said, the Cult of the Wings Over #Indyref mouth foamers, have looked shaky of late, turning in and on themselves. But. Again, as we've said, and others are now saying, the cult MUST be maintained, so just as religious cults do, political cults must make diverging
cult members extremely uncomfortable. With threats, and of course with their isolationist block lists. Scientology does this, jehovahs witnesses do this, as do other cultish religions. The cult must be pure. The power of the cult must be built, not weakened... And whatever

Alba members are complaining that some in the independence movement are gloating, because of their failure to win seats in the Scottish Parliament. In saying what I am saying, I am not gloating. To see this failure, and to see a few thousand activists who could be positively
active exploited in the way they have been, is actually gutting. Activism, protest, amplified voices CAN be used to bring about positive change. But we've all witnessed in the USA how radicalising prejudice misdirected anger is really dangerous... And ultimately impotent
except for those at the top of the tree. Salmond and others are exploiting and misdirecting people in a way that would make Steve Bannon and others like those who ran Cambridge Analytica, proud.

Personally, i felt it really was good to see yesterday's man, Salmond (and

Sam Hamad: "People think there's still an 'Israeli-Palestinian conflict'? Israel won the 'conflict' years, possibly decades, ago. There's simply the imprisonment of Gazans and the daily brutality of the occupation of those who live in the ever-shrinking West Bank. Israel's
strategy is now permanent occupation, incremental (though emboldened) cleansing and annexation.

Rocket attacks are acts of useless, essentially harmless defiance by oppressed peoples against a triumphant, untouchable enemy. Condemning these entirely harmless rocket
attacks if there was a deal just about to be signed for a two-state solution would make sense, but I actually think it's amazing that in recent years, given the hopelessness of the situation in Gaza, there hasn't been worse than rockets being unleashed against Israel.

It's
