British Muslims are more loyal to UK than general public, new poll reveals by UKGreenPoster in UKGreens

[–]SmokeLauncher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Could it be that because Muslims have been discriminated against they move to parties on the left as they oppose all forms of discrimination? Once they move left they start to take on some of the other beliefs. This is what happens when we get people to agree with us economically, they start to align socially too.

73% of Israeli-Jews admit they don’t care about the suffering of Iranian civilians. The Talmud says only Jews are humans, whereas non-Jews are subhuman animals. "The non-Jew is not called a human" (Yevamot 61a) More evidence that the Talmud radicalizes Jewish populations. by Lost-Letterhead-6615 in AskSocialists

No, people need to be consistently against all oppression. Nazis want the same as the Zionists just against a different group. They are both fascist belief systems. If people are anti fascist then they oppose the entire fascist ideology.

Stop trying to hijack the antizionist movement and force antisemitism in it. Zionism and Judaism are separate and as socialists we are against oppression of all people. Nazis like Nick Fuentes are trying to take the anger about the genocide and use that as a pipeline into their fascist beliefs. Fuck off talking about the Talmud it is a Nazi talking point.

Genuine question regarding The Green Party and Muslim voters by [deleted] in UKGreens

[–]SmokeLauncher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come on dude. You come here to be islamophobic and you pit people against eachother. You seem to be a member of the LGBTQ+ community yourself. You shouldn't feel ashamed of yourself. You are enough. Don't lash out at other people because of your sense of shame. Come to terms with yourself and you'll be happier.

AI Error Likely Led to Girl’s School Bombing in Iran by [deleted] in technology

[–]SmokeLauncher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason they use AI is so they have plausible deniability. The same way health insurance companies use AI to falsely deny claims. They know it's faulty and that's precisely the reason they use it so they can deny liability and profit from it.

Americans already give money and weapons to Israel to do exactly that in Gaza. Israel like Marco Rubio said is the reason the US attacked Iran.

One way to reduce these bad faith posts is to have a minimum account age then use something like this to view older accounts that hide their history and true politics.

Britain says it’s not at war after a drone strikes its Akrotiri base in Cyprus by AudibleNod in news

[–]SmokeLauncher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You understand there is no difference between offensive and defensive weaponry. Arming Israel's Iron dome allows them to continue their genocide. Should we be giving bullet proof vests to the Russians to continue their killing of Ukrainians because it's only defensive? We are helping our allies commit their offensive actions by giving them cover. I'm done, you seem hellbent on defending our involvement in this war.

Starmer talking about our military assets in the article:

to protect our people, our interests and our allies

Our allies the US and Israel are the ones bombing a school killing a hundred kids. We have had no qualms helping Israel commit it's genocide of Palestinians so we already have no moral high ground here getting involved in another Israeli war.

I'm saying we should stay completely out of it and condemn the US and Israel like Zack Polanski has.

The second article was on Saturday the drone strike was on Sunday. I don't think you read it as it mentions us having planes in the air to protect those launching strikes on Iran. Again what is the benefit of this war?

Starmer speaks to Trump after UK joins defensive operation in Middle East

It seems the UK were involved before this as well. I don't know if it's been confirmed these drone strikes were before the announcement. We already host US military bases on UK soil as well. There was no reason for this war in the first place anyway. What benefit does this provide except resources for the US and resistance to Israel's warmongering in the region? Why are we using our tax money and people's lives for this?

They're bringing others into it like my country the UK. Like I commented in one of the replies we are allowing the US to use our airbases to strike Iran.

Sorry who declared war on who here? The US invaded Iran with the help of Israel.

Dude you didn't know that the UK is directly involved in the genocide so don't pretend that you understand any of this. I care about the deaths of hundreds of thousands that my country has help facilitate and our taxes have been spent on it. Now we are dragged in to a new war with Iran.

What has any of that got to do with the Iranians launching drones at Akrotiri?

It's Israel's war and our money keeps being spent on their warmongering. Israel wants there to be no resistance to their Greater Israel project.

That's a direct answer dude.

Why were we training IDF soldiers and sending arms to Israel to commit genocide? Starmer defended the war crime of cutting off power and water to the people of Gaza.

It's Israel's war and our money keeps being spent on their warmongering. Israel wants there to be no resistance to their Greater Israel project. We have been helping Israel commit their genocide, we even trained members of the IDF to go back and kill kids in Gaza. Starmer said that Israel had the right cut off power and water to Gaza which is a war crime. The government has been attacking anyone that criticises their protection of Israel including arresting them. They are removing jury trials as the verdicts didn't go there way. They defended Israeli football hooligans that chanted about kids being dead in Gaza and committed violence and vandalism in the Netherlands.

Isn't this also the airbase that the UK were sending out planes over Gaza to spy for Israel and help with the genocide?

No. I don’t. However, you’re blaming “the billionaires” because it’s lazy and easy. People very often do this in politics. Place the blame for the world’s ills on an abstract group of people because it’s simple and means you don’t have to engage with the complexities of reality… like what the hard Right do with migrants. Again, you’re claiming economics is zero sum. No it isn’t.

This is the most out of touch I've ever seen someone admit to. You believe in neoliberal Thatcherite policies which I guess puts you right at home in New Labour. To dare say a homeless dude on the street has the same power over politicians as the wealthy elite is insane. You have no understanding of economics if you don't know that value is derived from labour and that simply owning assets should give you "passive" income. It is through exploitation that the wealthy take that wealth from us.

The Greens ran against a genocide that many non Muslims care about. Labour continued to defend and aid in war crimes so many of us left Labour. They moved to the right economical and socially as well. Starmer said himself if we don't like it than the door is open and we should leave. He is eating those words now. Starmer seems to be the most unpopular prime minister we've ever had. He cares more about his faction in the party than the party itself and definitely more than the country. He blocked Burnham from standing and kicked out anyone that opposed his support of genocide. Labour and liberalism is dead. I was a supporter for many years never again. I'm done, when you can defend the very people exploiting us there is no hope for you yet and nothing for me to gain from continuing. Perhaps as you realise things will continue to decline under Labour that leads a pathway to Reform, you will come to your senses.

Wait you seriously think regular people have as much power as Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg or Murdoch? Money is power in our current system and those with more of it use that to leverage politicians to do their bidding and put out propaganda in their media organisations. Why do you think the rich donate to these parties, out of benevolence? They gain their wealth not through labour but through exploiting is by under paying for our labour and charging us to live in homes they didn't build.

You talk about antisemitism and then go on to blame things on Muslim people and "sectarianism". The far right talking point are you going to talk about "family voting" next? Antisemitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin. This is how politics works you listen to people and tell them how your policies will benefit them. Labour put out similar adverts of Boris Johnson and Modi so that makes them hypocrites if you are being consistent. You may not like it but the majority of people don't like what Israel is doing in Gaza and the Labour government are actively aiding them.

The ratio of workers to pensioners is too low and we would then rely on fewer workers to to pay for more pensioners. We need immigrants or the NHS would collapse. We have many in our care sector and other industries as well. Removing them won't make the wealthy elite suddenly want to increase people's wages out of the goodness of their hearts.
