If we're doing a podcast I demand a 2 minute segment on chocolate oranges. I'd be up for it if we need more people or if there's a topic within my vague area of knowledge, but I'm not sure what I'd add otherwise. We could do an all jew episode about labour antisemitism!

crispix posted:You grew up in Israel, didn't you? I for one would have a lot of questions about your thoughts on anti-semitism and "anti-semitism". I did, though I am not a definitive arbiter of antisemitism by any means. My view point is rare among both foreign and Israeli Jews, probably because so few of them are leftists! In any case I'm happy to answer any questions you have here as well as on a podcast, especially Israel specific ones. I'm away for the weekend but if you post some stuff on Monday at some point I'll do an effortpost reply.

Hey I don't have access to a computer and can't edit this on my phone. Will you add me? Topics include philosophy (ethics and political specifically), anarchism, antisemitism, Israel/Palestine. Availability is ever day after 4pm and all day weekends. You can fill in the rest

Kropotkin is a fantastic dude and conquest of bread is a great book. I also recommend in praise of idleness by Bertrand Russel (which is in the op!) for relatively simple language iirc

If there is interest, I can expand. Glad to hear about your disdain for chocolate oranges, welcome to the secret socialist club.

I can understand classic music being impressive on a rational level but it actually just bores me to tears so I listen to Streetlight Manifesto and Dead Prez instead.

Coohoolin posted:If you are interested, I have a small selection of pieces saved that I've found resonate very well with people who don't think they "get" classical music.

Catzilla posted:If you have the BBC sounds app, search for a show called ‘How to listen’ which eases novices into classical music, explains the themes and what’s going on. Maybe a good entry point. I appreciate the advice but it's not something I'm actively looking to get into.

Jose posted:this got posted in the cspam epstein thread and is a great conspiracy lol I love this because the actual reason tons of Israelis are deported and denied visas to the US (especially "art students") is because they all go there to work those lovely sales kiosks in malls and earn a ton of money (I know someone who made 100k in 2 years) by aggressively selling 'dead sea salts and mud' to helpless old ladies.

Jose posted:lol but if you read the article it was definitely way more than that. They doorstepped tons of DEA agents lol the University of Jerusalem definitely exists it's just called The Hebrew University. Most of it still sounds like the sales thing I know except someone bought a painting and now everyone goes to the same place to try and sell them. Like, I'm willing to believe it's actually a mossad thing piggybacking off the actual salespeople but . I'm pretty sure the IDF doesn't send people to do overseas espionage and it said some of them were in the army as if that means anything. It doesn't make any sense other than they are draft dodgers or on vacation (and overseas leave is VERY hard to get). Oh the israelis lived in Fort Lauderdale? I wonder if that place is known for anything else? Like, again, this COULD be mossad, but it sounds super standard from everything I can tell. e okay I read further it does sound like Israeli intelligence was piggybacking on the art thing which is very funny

Gonzo McFee posted:tbh I lost any and all ability to take the antisemitism charges seriously when the Windrush scandal broke, Laura Kuenssberg said that the story would probably run out of steam within a week before going right back to talking about antisemitism in the labour party. Untold numbers of people who's lives were destroyed by a racist, vicious immigration policy that actively sought to ignore evidence Vs a story that's mostly about the feeling that Labour is racist among Jews after a media campaign about how Labour is antisemitic, reporting on the effects of their reporting without any acknowledgement that their reporting might have something to do with it. Among conservative Jews.

Borrovan posted:I have heard from a friend of a friend that that in Jewish areas of North London it's a common doorstep issue, even in Labour households. I don't know if this is surprising to you, but most British Jews are conservative, in my experience. Very few socialists and basically none that think what Israel is doing is wrong. The 'left wing jews' (with obvious exceptions like jewdas) are middle class liberals who vote Labour over tory at best (again, based off of my experiences with the North London Jewish community).

NotJustANumber99 posted:I thought it was pretty clear what I was saying from the obvious context of it being concerning immigration, although I wouldn't really say it was my argument. If entry to the UK is a product people are willing to pay for and we're the ones reaping those rewards rather than a private company then in some circumstances I'm not really against it. I can do a car analogy about it if you like? "it's fine to rob immigrants if I'm the one benefiting" is quite a take.

Education isn't the issue. Once the laws get so complex that you need a middleman to interpret them then the system is too complex. Like, regular off the street people should be able to understand the laws they're meant to obey. Education will help with most of them, but anyone who is expecting people to understand financial and litigation law on their own is dreaming.
