This is my favourite genre of leftist contrarian, find a marginalised group protesting something, then mock and insult them for not instead protesting about an unconnected economic issue. Treat them as if their basic demands over an issue that affects them is worthy of scorn.
Interestingly enough and to the surprise of nobody at all this idiot has only ever mentioned community college twice on Twitter, clearly a matter dear to his heart, and it was only to dunk on young activists. Great work Lee! Fucking ridiculous wanker. Image
This guy’s Twitter output since his Strasserite colleague quit has basically been this. Image
Nothing more sus on this site than someone who spends their entire time fighting a culture war against “Identity Politics”, this is essentially the same z-list celebrity to racist Twitter crank pipeline that Lozza Fox followed.

I often find a lot of the criticisms of Starmer to be in bad faith, advancing a false narrative that he holds a less socially liberal position than he actually does, but I’m fully with this one. Virtually no one in Labour has bothered to address their backwards drug policies.
The war against drugs has failed, it doesn’t protect users & it doesn’t combat criminality. It really is time we moved on as a society, but that remains impossible while the leading progressive political force in the country is still stuck in the Prohibitionist 20th century.
Corbyn didn’t do anything on this front either. We need politicians to have the courage to say this war is lost and it must end. We must move towards treating drug use as a healthcare issue and not a criminal one. This is not even a radical socialist policy, it’s a liberal one.

It's weird how some things in politics are one day ubiquitous, like "the deficit", are the next day forgotten about. You never hear "the polls will change when we get fair general election media coverage" any more, despite it being everywhere 2017-2019
That's because the people who were making that argument in 2017 largely want the party to fail in 2023, even if that means ushering in another Tory PM, you just won't hear most of them say that out loud, especially when it means applying the things they said in 2017 back on them.
"Maybe we are the ones that should 'F*** Off and join the Tories' now?!" is not as catchy a slogan as it was the first time round.

I don't know about you Tim mate but I choose to judge a policy on its progressiveness based on an empirical analysis of the more than 100 years we've spent fighting a losing drug war through criminalisation with no positive benefit to society whatsoever.
If you are able to look at the results of our drug policies over the past century and still think they have had any progressive benefit for British society, then I suspect you are either a deeply reactionary individual at heart or simply aren't very bright. Take your pick Tim.
I just spent the weekend at Wilderness Festival with 20,000 mostly posh white folk. You can guarantee if they were the ones being disproportionately imprisoned for their ubiquitous mediocre cocaine habits people like Tim would probably be singing from a different hymn sheet.

In England we briefly had a chicken shortage at KFC and both Greater Manchester Police and the Metropolitan Police had to issue statements asking people to stop calling the emergency services about it.
England is also home to a government funded advertising campaign begging people to stop beating up ambulance drivers. This is not a nation equipped to even deal with a sudden slight disruption to its infrastructure, let alone its total collapse.
If I was a gambling man, my money would be on Cuba, a nation that has already had to learn to sustain itself cut-off from a global supply chain.

"We are the sons of Horan, from its north to its south, from its east to its west, we are all Daraa al-Balad. If the decision is war, we are with her & if the decision is peace then we are with her also, & finally, we are with those that defend our dignity. And God is behind us."
This video is one of several released in the last 48 hours as a new uprising stirs in Daraa, an area that has effectively been under regime control since July 2018. english.alaraby.co.uk/news/syrian-re…
These men in Daraa are completely cut off from foreign support, have been abandoned by their allies & former leaders, have had Russian assurances violated repeatedly, are facing a brutal siege & bombing by the Assad regime, and yet, despite all this, they are still fighting.

The strategic aim of sanctions is not regime change. Retaliatory punitive economic measures don’t need to form a clandestine strategy to overthrow a dictatorship to be defended on human rights grounds. The only available alternatives to sanctions are war or impunity. Pick one.
Those are your three choices in Syria. War, impunity or economic sanctions. There is no magical fourth approach. The sanctions relief lobbyists like Sam Heller have chosen not only impunity, but also tacit support for regime military operations.
The pro-Assad lobby have chosen war AND impunity, while providing sweeping moral condemnation of those who have chosen sanctions. They attempt to obfuscate their desire to see the fall of Idlib in doublespeak, but their choice is as clear as day.
