If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

But ultimately, I've decided to not go against my conscience and intend to go and vote green when I finish work, because what is needed are more voices standing for what is right.

It is. The system is so broken it's got us voting tactically rather than what we think is right because of the practical outcome. Doing what you feel is right isn't always going to have the better outcome. And is why this has been one of the hardest elections for me to make a decision on.

That is a fair comment. It is something I have been sitting on the knife edge about it because we really need the Tories out, but it shouldn't be against my own conscience.

I mean heck, Labour probably relies too much on the fact they know people will tactically vote for them when the Tories are out of control.

Maybe ultimately that's what it'll boil down to & maybe there's enough tactical voters out there.

It does include that. Hence dilemma. Victory is going to either be Tory or Labour. Both are terrible for trans issues & what's going on in Palestine, but one party is worse & their reign needs to end. I also see the importance of that voice being heard & I know not enough people give that voice...

I've not voted yet. Hence 'head' Vs 'heart' comment. It's a dilemma. At the end of the day my vote will either benefit the Tories or Labour, so my head says vote the lesser of two evils. My heart says I should support those I think should be in power the most & what I stand for.

I'd like to, it's pretty much an argument between head & heart, i'd feel dirty voting Labour but Tories get bolder with every win & are dirtier. Labour are the tactical vote for my area. We've also been a Tory safe seat, but current opinion polls show a chance of flipping it.

Sorry you have an ally like that. Maybe I'd have more hope if it's Labour under Corbyn, but Starmer is a lighter Tory & Labour under him is more Tory. Only good reason I can see for voting Labour is to keep Tories out, things will be awful, just not as awful. I'd love Green to win, but they won't.

And Trump is a product of something different to Hitler & Stalin, but I feel like they're 2 major historical figures most people can relate to when it comes to understanding the kind of rhetoric coming from Trump & what it can lead to. I guess I just never seen the double genocide take

I agree they should be looked at separately for the atrocities committed by their rule. But when both have deaths close in number, authoritarianism and ethnic cleansing under their belt, despite very different ideologies, the parallel is there.

They weren't in league with each other, in terms of allies, but in terms of authoritarians committing atrocities? Yes. But why are you so defensive of Stalin? He was responsible for the death of millions & made his own ethnic cleansing attempts like Tatars, Chechans, Ukrainians, Kalmyks etc.

Letting history repeat itself & learning nothing from the horrors of the past is what would be a dishonour to the sacrifice people gave. And it starts with a charismatic leader with authoritarian aspirations who directs hate to certain social groups & his opposition.

It's no statement on the people who gave their lives, it's about not wanting history to repeat itself bc those red flags are flying. Equating Hitler & Stalin is fine, Stalin wasn't a true communist, both were responsible for the death of millions & tried to wipe out cultures.

I love when names are just words that have no special meaning. Some people have names that mean things like "Light of Christ" and my name "Bryn" could make you think "ahah the Valkyrie Brynhilde". I was born in Wales, it's Welsh for "hill".

Awesome music played on the Mongolian instrument, the Ikel just released, not by me, but a new album by Steve E Morel, who is a musician based in Mongolia, who IMO does great work youtu.be/tINgo3WdCkA?...
Also you can buy the album & support the artist & get extras.

If she thinks that's puerile, she's obviously not seen how parliament conducts itself over serious issues that affect people in this country. Watching parliamentary debate is an absolute joke.

Pretty much where I am with it and on top of that, all jobs having a low skill floor is fine but I see no harm having some with a higher skill ceiling. With AST lore, they already killed it in EW by making card effects equal, I hope DT gives meaning back to cards (it has lore tied to their effects)

And people often go after the Switch's graphics saying the technology for something better existed at the time of release. But as rightly suggested here, there's a price point to consider (& also battery). I expect the Switch 2 will probably be graphically weaker than a Steam Deck...and cheaper.

And they realised they could offer something different. It's why it's complementary to my PC whilst my PS4 gathers dust & I never upgraded to a PS5. The exclusive games end up on PC eventually & at the end of the day, that's all XBox & Playstation compete on.

I love when characters get into a mind of their own. "Oh these two absolutely hate each other, it's fun." Later: "why are they in love? This wasn't supposed to happen." And "Oh these two characters would get along so great, they have so much in common" "Why are they trying to kill each other?"

A fair point, given "Middle Earth" comes from Old English too, referring to this very world we're living in. Though the implications of that could potentially be an interesting thread...I'd dig it. I could see a reinterpretation of the epic of Gilgamesh coming out of this.

Eh, mealy mouthed bullshit from Jewish people who engaged me after I used to be guilty of calling out Zionism. If somebody is a Zionist but doesn't agree with stealing land or what Likud is doing but has a more spiritual take, why the fuck should I be bothered by them?

They probably don't, it's not a defense of those in charge. Like how Likud weaponises antisemitism too. But why do we need a hurdle of language used by antisemites (even when not the intention) when we have better language to get the message across without the ambiguity or it being weaponised?

It's not an innate characteristic of Jewish people b/c not all Jewish people are Zionists, but it can mean different things for Jewish people who are Zionists & is not nationalistic in all forms & in other forms can relate more to a person's Jewish identity or their faith. Depends who you ask.

Or at least help ease any concerns that it is antisemtic, which if there are students who're Jewish or Israeli, they should not be subject to. I am for the cease fire & peace for Palestine, but this has kind of been my criticism & concern with my own side.

Hence I go for "Likudist" and "IDF", it's Likud, IDF & their supporters that are the problem. And I am sure there can be a less ambiguous slogan than "from the river to the sea". Doing both I think helps keep the antisemites out.

"Zionism" is broader than the nationalistic movement that came out of the 1800's that led to the state of Israel & the violence since. Though it was also born because of antisemitism in Europe, which ended up with confirming their fears thanks to the Nazis. But people will shit on "Zionism".

And "from the river to the sea" was used to mean for a single state solution & has been used to mean different things since, some positive (like peace & freedom), some not so positive, (like the eradication of Israel).

There is a point in-so-far as antisemitic & anti-Israeli language gets used in these protests, granted I know they are not meant that way. But "from the river to the sea" and "anti-Zionism" doesn't give the message people think it does. Zionism is not just a movement that led to today's problems.
