Oh, you've identified a problem? Have you considered calling it an "emergency"? Have you considered throwing everything at it, no matter the cost? Have you considered destroying ppl's lives over it? Have you considered bombing it? No? Well then maybe you're 🫵 the problem.

@RhonddaBryant Quite right Chris! Btw how does your work with the Henry Jackson Society or Labour Friends of Israel relate to your job as MP for the Rhondda?

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

“Anti-Semite!” often has the same political function on the right as “Racist!” (or homophobe!, transphobe!, whateverphobe!) often has on the left: it is a thought-ending meme that excuses one from having to substantively engage with what an opponent is saying.

Wake up babe the Pope is Baudrillard posting
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

@MaxFromMax @ClareCraigPath These are victories as much as COVID vaccines and pandemicking are victories. We cannot deny that pandemicking was a victory and COVID vaccines were victories. We ought to cheer on more victories to come.

@MaxFromMax @ClareCraigPath Yet vaccines keep coming now complete with lockdowns and masking. Vaccines are always safe and always effective. Not sure why it is even worth wasting your breath on any arguments that this is not so.

@Medical_Nemesis @ClareCraigPath Perhaps (or indeed, probably) but that is beside my point, which is that just because Boris spearheaded a mass vaccinatiion program, it doesn't follow that he is a hero on (what you call) pandemicking's own terms.

@MaxFromMax @ClareCraigPath The technology is not going away. If anything, it will be “improved” so we can be locked down just for 100 days till more new and always safe and always effective vaccines to save more lives.

@Medical_Nemesis @ClareCraigPath "styles of reasoning" is key here x.com/MaxFromMax/sta…
​🇲​​🇦​​🇽​@MaxFromMax

@Medical_Nemesis @ClareCraigPath And yet vaccines are sometimes marked as 'unsafe' and removed from the market, based on much the same styles of reasoning as the ones that are used to justify lockdown-till-vaccine. If it's 'all one thing', then safety debates and occasional withdrawals are a part of it.

@Medical_Nemesis @ClareCraigPath The debate over the safety, efficacy, and morality of vaccination is about as old as the (modern, Westernised) practice itself, including in England. Clare is arguably continuing, rather than naively countering, a venerable English tradition.

@MaxFromMax @ClareCraigPath We did not we invent the safety of vaccines in relation to pandemicking against heretics and unbelievers in nothing short of Truth and Salvation debate. Yet. Why not? Why do the English remain blind?

@Medical_Nemesis @ClareCraigPath When we invented the ship, we also invented the shipwreck; when we invented vaccination, we also invented the vaccination safety debate. Why is the latter any less a part of the national life of vaccinators than vaccination itself?

@ClareCraigPath Isn’t vaccination part of the British way to order and rule communities as well as colonize and re-order filthy savages according to classification of bodies as particular diseases made up through vaccination and statistics? He is practically a national hero.

What if Keir just went for a jog? And didn’t stop. Like in Forrest Gump. Brits of all shapes and sizes joining him as he runs across the country. What would the far-right do then??
