seems bad to have roving mobs smashing / not smashing up businesses based on the religion of the proprietor
“Don’t smash it up, she’s a sister!” This shop manager protecting her business is spared by the thugs out of Muslim solidarity. Still absolutely no connection to immigration.

In 2024, Sarah Helm, the wife of Jonathan Powell, ie, Burnham's National Security Adviser, praised Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad after he made dehumanising comments about Israelis. Since his wife's antisemitic extremism was exposed, the silence from Powell has been deafening.

Some choice quotes from Hasan "antizionist-not-antisemitic" Piker's friend:
Hasan and "Professor" Dave talk about @TheOmniLiberal and his positions on I/P.

"This morning, the Samaria Regional Police arrested 8 suspects in the assault of a Washington Post photographer and the assault of foreign diplomats." Note: Those who excused this hooliganism and made up all sorts of stories to excuse it...it turns out that actually it is a law and order issue and that hooligans can be arrested. One doesn't have to just surrender to vigilante violence against people; against the press and civilians and diplomats, one doesn't have to have a society of riots It's maybe worth noting that one can support Israel and support law and order in Israel and not feel the need to excuse a small group of violent hooligans. Supporting Israel should naturally mean supporting the arrest of hooligans
משטרת מחוז ש״י עצרו הבוקר 8 חשודים של תקיפת צלמת וושינגטון פוסט ותקיפת דיפלומטים זרים. במקביל, נערכים להריסת מאחזים לא חוקיים באזור.

Government spending in France is a greater percentage of GDP than it was in the Soviet Union. There is no neoliberalism in France. There is no austerity. If that’s your explanation of the riots then you know nothing, understand nothing.

Reactionaries more concerned with old buildings on fire than the disintegration of the social order under their beloved neoliberalism.

“I don’t hate Jews, I just hate the only Jewish state, and what I hate about it is how it resists Jews being murdered, and so I’ll protest western Jewish institutions and memorials having nothing to do with Israel, but I don’t hate Jews”

Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs)@agraybee18h
Oh no I only get 5 weeks of vacation a year from the job where it's illegal to fire me, and all it leads to is a retirement where I'll make even more money somehow. I must loot this Gamestop for le liberté.

"The students are always on the right side of history."
The current protests in France reminded me of this snippet from a book I recently read, highlighting how Jean Delay, the co-inventor of the first medication to help with mental illness (antipsychotic Chlorpromazine), was sacked and humiliated by student protesters in 1968.

The left is constantly on a quest to find a vanguard for their revolution. First it was the working class, but they weren't interested. Then they hoped it would be peasants & the colonized. Then it was putting their hope in prisoners & homeless/lumpenproles. Now it's Palestinians
Replying to @xstaffsuck
Everyone should thank Sinwar daily for lighting the fuse of the this revolutionary epoch.

The French rioting should put to rest the notion that expanding the welfare state is all it’ll take to eliminate domestic extremism.

Are the austerity cuts in the room with us now?
Not having Neoliberalism is when you ignore constant austerity cuts to any public services

They're all trying to fuck 22-year-old students, OnlyFans creators, Instagram thots, influencers, or egirls. It's like your grandma wondering why everyone on the internet is a Nigerian prince trying to run a scam on her.

The idea that poverty is man-made rather than the default starting point is one the dumbest and most dangerous misconceptions in economics, politics and life.

I commented a lot on two things today, the lawlessness in France and in the West Bank; and the fact is they are linked. It’s about a state controlling lawlessness. In each case it’s about a simple issue: Will you allow hooligans to dictate policy or have the state deal with them The lawlessness of masked hooligans in France is worse. But one should see a line connecting this issue. You can’t excuse one while condemning the other Strong democracies and states prevent hooliganism. When authorities surrender to it, everyone suffers Law and order requires keeping order

Related: I went to the grocery store today. The consumer electronics and liquor were locked down tighter than Fort Knox. Books and vegetables were entirely unguarded. But muh pawverdee causes crime. Sure.
