Test Those That Talk At Us. Test What They Say & Test Why.
If you're a writer or a commentator you're out there influencing people even if you pretend otherwise.
The Christian Scriptures have a number clear concepts that, whether you're Christian of not, that should be applied to all modern life. To be a pastor, there's standard set out but there are also very clear instructions to those listening to a Pastor.
Acts 17:11 "These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."
Its often referred to as the Berean way.
So whether your Christian or not, its pretty clear and very sensible that if you're really fair minded person you'll listen to things you're told but if you'll go see if these things are true or not. Test what you've been told.
In this day & age, we have the advantage of having more seek & test power than any other point in time with internet search engines. However, you still have to search then sift there as well. The internet is valuable, but its also the very fertile grounds of liars & deceipt.
Not judging this person, but she is commentator of sorts & certainly pushes her view.
I've only comes across her today, she's apparently based in London.
Noticable up front, she's a Socialist, anti racist, feminist, anti-imperialist.
For many that could be good, harmless but for some of us it's a red flag & at least there's some things that need testing & checking.
Socialist - That means many things to many people but nutshell to most people is Socialism is not good, its extremely dangerous. Now I get that young people get a little rebelous, anti-establishment & some get very excited & full on about it, including Marxism & all its off shoots but it is very dangerous.
Its an ideology that is Anti Western culture, anti Western values. At its core the basics are you shouldn't have personal property, personal rights & the means of production should be transferred to the state. That the state decides the values for you, that "that the state is all & there is nothing outside the state"
If you're a socialist you're not a very smart person living in a Western country with values & daily life you oppose. In the West, you'll easily be able to make enough money for airfare & other costs involved in emigrating to an actual Socialist nation. If you're not doing that, you're either pretending to be a socialist to make money or you're anti the country you're in and you're some level of subversion.
If you're just a grifter pretending to be a socialist, you're as bad as any agent of mild to serious subversion because you will be influencing people who are not testing what you're saying.
Anti-Racist - Think no one has any issue with this. Unless of course you're anti racist but not anti Identity Politics. You should be consistent & against all Identity Politics & treat all people fairly, judging them by their character & behaviour not their race, gender, sexual orientation...
To pick on thing out but maintain other bad principles is intellectually corrupt & very devious.
If you're from Antifa, the good part is they're Anti-Fascist. That seems good, no one reasonable is pro Fascist right? Yes, until you realise Antifa has a very long well known history with many subtle image changes but at it's core its every bit as bad & dangerous as Fascism. They are a Communist, Marxist, Socialist group depending where you find them & what that faction is deeper into. Also at their core, they are anti Western values. Western civilisation is not perfect, however its the best of any civilisation. Why do the most refugees in the world head to Western countries? Not by a fair bit, by far is not all. Ever seen a line of illegal aliens entering China, North Korea or any other non West country?
Feminist - Again, seems fair on the surface & I don't know what she believes. If you're for women being equal then I'd guess she has an awful lot to be extremely angry about, in fact totally enraged over the average day in the life of a woman in many overseas countries. I'd expect she'd want many countries to adopt Western values like the UK where she lives where women are allowed to go to school, drive a car, go to university, get a job, not be married off as a young teenager, not be forced to stay in the house as an uneducated, illiterate offspring bearer & regarded as propery with strict criminal code dictating what she must wear.
I'd also expect she'd be able to articulate what a woman is and that it is a person who from birth is a biological female.
So I don't her stance. I won't judge having not "tested to see if it is so"
Anti-Imperialist - Ah ok, now she potentially has a serious problem. She is against one sovereign state invading another. Now that seems fair too. However that means she is 100% pro a homogenous society which will be very difficult. She will be against a people, a religion or a culture taking over another nation. Now this will have to be applied to every single European nation as well as developing nations.
If you're looking more for a foreign country & you've emigrated from or offspring of people who've immigrants from that's preferred country, well whether you came on warship or dinghy you're against foreign system supporters entering any nation. That's going to be a heck of a thing to apply to any legal immigration. Illegal immigrationg, well that's much simpler. Return all non citizens to the country of origin & along with them any people who do not fully assimilate. If you apply that to developing countries, you apply it to all. You'll be deeply against vikings, Ottoman empire, Roman conquests, support Taiwan against Chinese aggression, against the Russian invasion of Ukraine...
Quite a pnadora's box she's got there.
Then there's what started looking at this person & what they believe...
Stop the Genocide - For that to happen, thats not war, thats the deliberate extermination of civilian men, women & childre. There are no death camps in Gaza. There is no deliberate call to destory & annilhilate any people of a different political, racial, religious type. A person on the Joe Rogan podcast, a claimed expert on armed conflict claimed that by the numbers, the percentage of civilians being killed is lower than the average of all wars. That the death numbers that HAMAS cites are shocking but include their soldiers. When they're taken off, the civilian deaths, horrible as it is are still lower. If he is correct & there is no systematic extermination of civilian men, women & children the genocide claim is a deception & is false propoganda.
The people waging war on both Israel & the people of Gaza, that is HAMAS do have aims & a charter that make it very clear. They want every Jew everywhere killed. That is genocide. She's got to be very unaware or this or very keen to omit this.
Stop Arming Israel - You want the Sovereign Nation that was attacked on October 7th to be disarmed?
Not much deeper digging on this one. That would lead to all out genocide of all Israelis.
End The Seige - Actually its a war that was launched by HAMAS on October 7th where civilians were targeted. Civilians were kidnapped, Civilians were raped. Civilians men women & children were tortured & killed in dispicable ways including being set on fire and also beheading. The rally is silent on this as is this lady.
Free Palestine - This is the most telling & the devil is hidden in the lack of detail. If Palestine as she puts it, as the protestors put it, must be free then they MUST point out the Palestine she means. Where are the boundaries of this sovereign area. Talk to those who lived in Jeruselum pre WW2 & they will tell you whether you were Jew or Arab you were a Palestinian. That's actually correct, they were Palestinians, with Palestinian passports, but not just river to the sea, from the sea to most of Iran. So is Jordan, Syria, Israel, Iran all to be abolished & the only thing that was a Palestine ever to be reintroduced? No as correct intellectually as that would be, that won't happen & no one wants that apparently. River to the Sea, that's the HAMAS chant, the group that wants all Jews everywhere slaughtered & the nation of Israel destroyed. If that were to happen, then you would see constant war in the Middle East. Gaza has been non Jewish since 2005. Jews were forcibly removed from their homes by Israel military. Even Jews buried there were removed. The only occupiers of Gaza are Arabs & HAMAS. Israel is condemn for erecting walls & fences. They are condemned for making Gaza a prison, keeping them hemmed in. Israel build walls to keep the borders secure with entry highly regulated. No one mentions the Gaza border with Egypt who also built a wall to keep Gazans in Gaza.
I think this lady might be a staunch opponent of Western values & long for a more or perhaps complete authoratarian state, be some sort of feminist but not one at all in regards other countries like the ones where women are bashed based on what they wear or killed by stoning because a man claimed she committed adultry & she cannot secure 2-3 male witnesses prepared to testify the opposite.
A banner reads Stop The War Coalition & she doesn't question who that is & if it applies to the Oct 7th invaders & the other countries backing HAMAS.
A banner reads "Nuclear Disarmament" but no mention by her on why that was at the rally & does it apply to Iran?
Think she is very committed & passionate to a position she either knows very little about or doesn't care about the negatives as long as its anti The West & anti Israel.
Think she is very commited to pushing views that she hopes other people will passionately rally behind but not look deeper to see if it is so.
Someone here is an extremist. Seriously think about it. Pick who you think it is & then check them out to see if it is so. I cannot touch the We Are All Palestinians...she might not like the daily life of a Palestinian. She could emigrate to the West Bank now but I don't think she'd last long being Socialist & Feminist in the West Bank. I think she'd be murdered by a mob, I don't know if she'd be murdered by authorities but she'd have no choice if she emigrated & wanted to live a life there. She would have no choice. Convert to Islam, embrace and follow all religious laws & culture as an Islamic woman or things would go sideways fatal for her.
