I don't really know where else to post this but I had like an hour-long conversation with my SO over the weekend trying to convince her that Jeremy Corbyn wasn't an anti-semite or the "Trump of the UK". She's not stupid nor conservative, and at least leans left even if she's turned off by hyper partisan poo poo and avoids it if she can. She told me this was basically how NPR and BBC world service are covering him 24/7 and without digging deeper it basically gives the impression that Corbyn is the Trump to May's Clinton. I wanted to just start playing the recent Chapo ep about the character assassination of leftists by the mainstream but that's not how real humans interact so I was just kinda stuck going "he didn't say that" or "that's not a thing that happened". I expect this kind of poo poo out of right-wing news but didn't expect something so milquetoast to be rolling so hard for this narrative.

GoluboiOgon posted:but are any of these people actually high up in labor, or are they just facebook randos who happen to support labor? That's the thing, I have no problem saying there are antisemites in...virtually any political organization worldwide, whether I agree with them or not. The problem I have is with the wording, "Labour has an antisemitism problem" - do they? Are they infested with antisemites, do antisemites steer policy or hold office? It just reads like "Democrats have an antisemitism problem" in the US, clearly disingenuous.
