-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I hope Corbyn has learned from Reform that constant vilification does absolutely nothing to stop you if you have a popular platform.
Jean-Luc Melenchon has been attacked for being anti-semetic since Oct 7 and he was asked why it didn't seem to have the same effect on him and the party since it was pretty much the exact same scenario. He just said that you just have to ignore those things, anyone who is remotely seriously knows what's going on, and everyone knows who the racists are in the political world.
As much as I wish for the best, I can't imagine him not playing defence to some degree. The shameless aggression that is necessary does not seem to be in his nature.
Why can't we get any fucking aggressive leftists
aggressive leftists happen every so often. they get shot and/or arrested
I mean aggressive politically, not in demeanor. People who play to win and are cut throat
People who are cutthroat and can win usually don’t become leftist, its far more easier to become the next trump and rip out the floor and strip the paneling form the walls.
all i want are american bolsheviks
We all do.
Except I'm not convinced Farage ever got half the vilification that Corbyn did. There's a big difference between the media saying
and
He was allowed to present panel shows multiple times, it's why I can never take any establishment figure fearmongering about him seriously.
I have to thank Reform and 4chan for teaching me that constantly being demonized can work in my favor.
A specter once haunted Europe
The difference is, rightists have total domination of the media and government, Corbyn doesn't. He can't force his way to "populism" like chuds do. Time will tell if he can get enough support or not.
Yep, ignore the bullshit. Just push through it and ignore everything they say
The left is the true antisemitic in the room thing has mostly been run to the ground in the UK (I hope), a few years ago a significant amount of his supporters were still both siding the Palestinian genocide.
