Funny how when a black person or Muslim does something criminal, mass media use it to smear all black people, all Muslims But when a white person or Christian does something criminal, mass media rush in to condemn one 'bad apple' (and forget their years of praising him) meme via Truth Against Hate

Ffs every day be the kind of man that: Youโ€™d like your daughter to date Youโ€™d like your son to emulate Youโ€™d like your siblings to be proud of Helps women in difficulty, distress or danger Doesnโ€™t talk smack about women Speaks up when other men talk smack about women JUST. BE. THAT. MAN.

One of the genuine techniques SOE taught female agents in WW2 was: just talk to men confidently. They were taught to confidently express opinions on the thing they wanted info on in conversation with the target. There was a solid chance the target would then over-explain it to them. Right or Wrong

It's SO important not to go 'well I never liked that art anyway/I thought it was bad' about horrible people. Bad people can and DO make good art, and when we can't admit that, we let people we admire get away with things Harry Potter didn't sell millions of copies by accident and that's OK

The two things can be true at the same time. Someone can be hugely talented / successful / popular / clever / creative and also be a dreadful person. Taste is no guarantee of morality. And saying โ€œI never liked himโ€ or โ€œhe wasnโ€™t really a stand upโ€ doesnโ€™t really help anyone.

I've noticed how British nativism of the past decade and its talking points are actually strikingly "non-native", and sound awfully like the same kind of crude one-size-fits all ethno-fascism being pushed in any number of western democracies. it's almost as if they have a common source...

Why are we letting a South African serial husband, with a bad hair weave and a white supremacist dad, tell us how to run the UK? Rupert Lowe being invited to appear on a show with him, just shows he shares a lot the same ideals? Are Brits really this stupid?
