The AS stuff is a way of making sure any Labour coverage is tainted and negative. Doesn't matter if its effective, doesn't matter if the general population don't give a poo poo. Just so long as it drowns out any positivity and forces Labour to spend all its time dealing with the same topic forever. It's also a way to dogwhistle Corbyn as anti white and push that he's in favour of the non white Arabs.

Gonzo McFee posted:A scarily common practice in "Western" countries. We're like 40 years removed from Canada doing it to indigenous women as well. In Israel's case it's particularly stark because many right-ring Jews appear to present themselves as Schrodinger's minority, white or non-white depending on the needs of their present rhetorical position even where that clearly contradicts previous statements. 'Yes, Ethopian jews are Not Real Jews sterilise the fuckers... did you hear Jeremy Corbyn definitely wants to sterilise all the Jews the racist monster???' with nary a breath between them. It's frustrating, and it pisses me off no end that nobody calls them out, but I guess one reason for that is the right-wing don't want to because they're doing them a favour while the centre/liberal left are in an impossible trap. (In my opinion the only thing you can do here is go at them and go at them hard with zero hand-wringing, though I imagine that's known by some as the Williamson gambit and is apparently extremely bad for reasons no one has ever actually mentioned). quick note also to say that while the sterilisation of indigenous populations is true, it is (with some major exceptions) predominately a colonial practice in settler societies when directed against perceived 'inferior' races. In Europe, similar practices were generally aimed squarely at poor/undesirable/criminal white people, which is to say that the first colony was not a geographical space but the local servant class.

GlyphGryph posted:I don't think they read/watched any of it, honestly, the fact that I myself wasn't Jewish and was "lecturing" her was enough to dismiss it all out of hand and the links she posted from the Mail and Sun and Guardian were all irrefutable evidence so why bother engaging with me. This might have already been said but tonight we recorded an episode of Praxiscast dealing with antisemitism featuring famous podcaster Nate Bethea from Twitter and TrashFuture, it should be live in Monday I believe and you can send her that, if she's willing. Keep the channels of communication open. It'll be a good episode, we didnt really approach it as a debunk of labour antisemitism stuff, more of a general approach buy some Jews on antisemitism and politics, with some gentiles on to ask questions and be foils. Edit: it's also gonna feature a sexy klezmer mandolin solo on the outro by yours truly so. Worth listening to.

And then there’s this: wiki posted:In 2013, it was reported that 148 female prisoners in two California prisons were sterilized between 2006 and 2010 in a supposedly voluntary program, but it was determined that the prisoners did not give consent to the procedures.

No, Canada is about 40 years removed of forcibly sterilizing indigenous women by legistlation. As of this year, we have been coercing indigenous women or doing it to them without their knowledge after a birth. quote:An external review of services delivered within the Saskatoon Health Region documented that 16 Indigenous women experienced pressure to consent to sterilization immediately after giving birth between 2005 and 2010. By early 2019, coerced sterilization had been alleged by approximately 100 Indigenous women, covering a period from the 1970s until as recently as 2018. https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/sterilization-of-indigenous-women-in-canada

my 'favourite' horrific canadian story about indigenous people is one of the following: 1) an indigenous woman's body being wheeled in front of and paraded around a jury and her vagina publicly examined for signs of assault in a rape/murder trial. Like can you even imagine a white woman's corpse being treated like that jesus christ. Think that was from a zizek book. 2) an ex (white canadian) classmate from uni all but admitting that her brother shot an indigenous man in cold blood because he suspected him of trying to steal something and 100% getting away with it, then acting indignant and upset when we said her brother might be a piece of poo poo murderer. Canada seems to be in many respects worse than the USA (at least there they don't pretend to give a poo poo)

I hear and read people complaining about First Nations all the time. They say they do, but this is like the democrats being shocked that trump could ever win. And this says nothing of the utter crisis that is the missing and murdered indigenous women: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_and_murdered_Indigenous_women

I liked my time in Canada and want to move back but yeah a chunk of the population are racist as hell. Had one person say to my face about how the country was "full" and there shouldn't be any more immigration when I said i was over on a visa. I'm not sure if she was actually angry at me or considered me "one of the good ones" because I was white. She was also in her early 20s, so it wasn't some gammon saying this either!

There's a disappointing amount of people with Confederate stickers/imagery in Cork, Ireland because it's known as the "Rebel County"! As for Canada, it was so weird hearing the "we're full" line when the country has a population of like 30 or so million? The UK has way more with far, far less land and it's still not "full". Who would have thought racists don't think rationally?

ThomasPaine posted:I didn't find much to like in Leicester but I did like a pizza place called Peter Pizzeria I've never been there but I've heard good things. Leicester's okay, nothing special but there are definitely worse places, at least it's not Gammon Central (I believe us white folks are now less than 50% of the population, which makes it a difficult place for racists to be very public) and the city council is currently 53 Labour and 1 Lib Dem  Plus being bang in the middle of England has its upsides, we're not too far from anywhere, the train links are passable, and most importantly, as I always say when discussing the city of Leicester's relatively short list of merits - at least we're not Derby.

Coming down from Glasgow I was super struck by how many BAME people were about. There are plenty of racists in Scotland yelling about how many immigrants there are but gently caress me it is a ridiculously homogeneously white place compared to pretty much anywhere south of Yorkshire.

Lol I've had people in Alberta say to me that interprovincial immigrants should go back to their own loving provinces and start cursing Ontarians and "Newfies" without a hint of irony. This is a province that 10+ years ago had a loving labour shortage that was being largely filled by Texas oil workers and the temporary foreign worker program.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Desert being the operative word. I mean, you could probably make Australia work with significantly better environmental policies, but in its current form Australian society really wouldn't be improved by having a higher population at all. Not that the situation is necessarily better where migrants come from, I'm just objecting to the implicit "Let's just fill up everywhere with people" assumption in your post. People flying the rebel flag and the gently caress off we are full in the back on their utes dont give two shits about optimal use of space or resources , it's about being chinese or thai.They would be more than happy with increasing the population of white people.Eco fascism hasn't arrived here yet.
