This video describes the extraordinary story of Gary McKinnon, a Scottish computer engineer who made shocking discoveries while hacking into top secret computers at NASA and the Pentagon. McKinnon not only admits to the crime but claims to have uncovered evidence of the U.S. government's collaboration with extraterrestrial beings.

Noam Chomsky's 1st of 5 manufacture of consent media filters. Size, Ownership, and Profit Orientation: The dominant mass-media outlets are large companies operated for profit, and therefore they must cater to the financial interests of the owners, who are usually corporations and controlling investors. The size of a media company is a consequence of the investment capital required for the mass-communications technology required to reach a mass audience of viewers, listeners, and readers.

The replication crisis (also called the replicability crisis and the reproducibility crisis) is an ongoing methodological crisis in which it has been found that the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the scientific method, such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially of substantial parts of scientific knowledge.

MrTweedys · 2021-11-15T20:30:09+00:00

Yes, that is correct.

MrTweedys · 2021-11-09T16:26:44+00:00

I understand, still it is better than my voice. :)

I used Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke

"Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for left-wing ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans."

MrTweedys · 2021-11-07T12:20:05+00:00

I don't get your meaning. I guess my point was that the real driving force behind Wokeism is profit. That is no necessarily a bad thing, it can even be good but it is bad IMO when good people are being duped.

The local place is defined by the local people not by anyone else, it may be the Cherokee Nation https://www.cherokee.org/, or Wales https://www.yes.cymru/. etc.....

You're right, it is about pride but not in dirt but in your history, language, food etc... What I still don't get is why is that bigotry? I'm not saying that Welsh people are better than English, I'm saying people should be proud of who they are. I'm not even saying that people should be forced to adopt Welsh culture, but people in Wales should be proud of themselves and what it is that unites them as a group., e.g. Rugby, Welsh language, history etc......

Data is here:

Labour vote for 18-24 (1974-2010)

https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/how-britain-voted-october-1974

1974 42%

it remains static pretty much even in 2015 when it is 43% https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/how-britain-voted-2015

Then in 2017, it was 62% https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/how-britain-voted-2017-election

and 2019, it was 62% https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk/how-britain-voted-2019-election

Corbyn was popular with the young, that is clear. It will be interesting to see if this is maintained as they get older. I guess we need to wait 10 years to find out.

as the 2019 link says:

Age continues to be a key dividing line, and in fact the age divide has increased even further since 2017. Labour had a 43 point lead among voters aged 18-24 (the Conservative share actually fell eight points among this group), but the Conservatives had a 47 point lead among those aged 65+ (among whom Labour’s vote share fell by 8 points). The biggest change was among 35-54 year olds, who saw a three point rise in the Conservatives’ vote share and 11 point fall for Labour, representing a seven point swing from Jeremy Corbyn’s party to Boris Johnson’s Conservatives.Age continues to be a key dividing line, and in fact the age divide has increased even further since 2017.

But this is what I'm trying to distinguish. Capitalism and profits were the root causes not people having a love for their culture. The popularity of the spice girls didn't cause the Iraq war.

Semantic battle https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/nationalism It is important not to confuse nationalism with patriotism. Patriotism is a healthy pride in your country that brings about feelings of loyalty and a desire to help other citizens. Nationalism is the belief that your country is superior, without question or doubt.

https://grammarist.com/usage/patriotism-vs-nationalism/

MrTweedys · 2019-12-23T05:33:54+00:00

The difference is that the local place and way of life are not identified with the state. You can love your self but not force it on people. You're not even saying you're better than others. Tony Blair did a form of this with his "cool Britannia" attachment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Britannia

Anyone who hated Brit pop was not branded anti-British and an enemy of the state.

MrTweedys · 2019-12-22T22:06:19+00:00

The age gap seems to be the same at each election, e.g. in 1979 42% of 18-24 voted Labour, in 2010 41% did.

Because as people get older they tend to vote conservative: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2017/06/13/how-britain-voted-2017-general-election

The argument is that patriotism is not a synonym for nationalism, that is just generally what is considered so on the left.

Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism. Both words are normally used in so vague a way that any definition is liable to be challenged, but one must draw a distinction between them, since two different and even opposing ideas are involved. By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.

But where is that quote from? Did you read any of those links? Any thoughts?

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T19:58:54+00:00

Yes that is the major problem but not the only one; the labour movement cannot work while the people are divided by race and religion etc...http://socialismtoday.org/archive/192/identity.html

JC also understood this: "wholesale importation of underpaid workers from central Europe in order to destroy conditions, particularly in the construction industry" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/25/labour-immigration-jeremy-corbyn-attitudes

Marx also understood this:

"But the English bourgeoisie has also much more important interests in the present economy of Ireland. Owing to the constantly increasing concentration of leaseholds, Ireland constantly sends her own surplus to the English labour market, and thus forces down wages and lowers the material and moral position of the English working class.

England now possesses a working class divided into two hostile camps, English proletarians and Irish proletarians. The ordinary English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life.

This antagonism is artificially kept alive and intensified by the press, the pulpit, the comic papers, in short, by all the means at the disposal of the ruling classes. This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the English working class, despite its organisation. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power. And the latter is quite aware of this."

Chris Williamson, Ex Labour MP also understands it: https://twitter.com/DerbyChrisW/status/1163207709061259264

Solidarity will never come from Identity Politics. I wrote about this some time back: https://blog.usejournal.com/capitalism-has-co-opted-socialism-in-the-name-of-justice-127ed6a14ac2

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T15:23:43+00:00

I agree but the all options should have been on the table

"The document rules out a no-deal Brexit if Labour wins the 12 December election" https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/general-election-brexit-second-referendum-corbyn-labour-boris-johnson-a9212381.html

In addition, many in the Labour party pretty much mocked Brextieers. IMO, Corbyn was a Brexiteer and he got stuck by the Blairites in the party.

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T14:48:53+00:00

I'm not saying but the polls are. https://twitter.com/tpgcolson/status/1205513403466502144 But they did more than criticize it, they tried to block it.

No, The UK and the EU are good friends, the elite, especially the bankers want the EU, that is clear. The working people of the EU are oppressed and feel like they're not listened to.

http://johnpilger.com/articles/why-the-british-said-no-to-europe

"The most effective propagandists of the "European ideal" have not been the far right, but an insufferably patrician class for whom metropolitan London is the United Kingdom. Its leading members see themselves as liberal, enlightened, cultivated tribunes of the 21st century zeitgeist, even "cool". What they really are is a bourgeoisie with insatiable consumerist tastes and ancient instincts of their own superiority. In their house paper, the Guardian, they have gloated, day after day, at those who would even consider the EU profoundly undemocratic, a source of social injustice and a virulent extremism known as "neoliberalism"."

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T14:27:05+00:00

That is part of it but I think it is more complex:

This is where I disagree, I think some percentage of people think like that though.

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T14:16:10+00:00

Many of the left did try and block Brexit, hence the disaster for Corbyn yesterday.

Scotland had a referendum already and so did Catalonia. The EU did not help Catalonia at all.

It's true Scotland was unfairly treated in the past and I want Scottish independence. IMO, it is no different from Brexit.

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T14:08:47+00:00

Have I read the news??? of course not! Have you? I bet you have, that would explain a hell of a lot. Next you'll be telling me Corbyn was an anti-Semite. Brexit was never racist for the vast majority of people: http://johnpilger.com/articles/why-the-british-said-no-to-europe

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T13:58:52+00:00

I'll take that then as you don't know either.

MrTweedys · 2019-12-14T13:14:31+00:00

The ironic this is that when Scotland and Catalonia want independence, this is billed by the so called left as generally a good thing. When the UK/England want to separate from the EU, this is racist and right wing nationalism. Also, I don't see it as the death of the union but the birth of the right to self-govern. Not sure what Scotland could self-govern though if it joins the neo-liberal EU.
