What’s your prediction of the next cause the ‘activists’ are going to move into, after Gaza?

[Dangeos]

Seems like they’re getting bored of Palestine now that it’s a bit awkward talking about Hamas killing Palestinians in the streets.

so what do we think the next big cause is that they’re going to move onto? Do we think they'll finally bother to start talking about the awful crisis in Sudan? Or is there a trendier topic emerging?

There are valid issues with AI though.

How do you think protests might worsen things for disabled people?

Don't you think there are valid concerns about digital ID?

Don't you think there are at least concerning aspects to having digital ID?

I agree re Iran.

Do you agree with forcibly removing Palestinians?

It's clear that Palestine Action are probably a terrorist supporting group, so I have no sympathy with people there on that account.

However, you're being disingenuous. There are plenty of reasons to protest about a foreign event despite not being able to directly change it. To raise awareness for charity, for one thing. To pressure the UK government: Israel does take notice of foreign suppprters' views at least somewhat.

I hope you aren't someone saying Gaza protestors should protest about Sudan instead ('as well', yes). That would be hypocritical, since protests are even less likely to move the murderous RSF..

This is the kind of post coming out of a military silos in Israel, people working 9-5 dropping posts into social media.
I think most people/the public are upset by, or object to genocide, right? Activism is a lawful and useful facet of a healthy democracy. Would you rather live in Putin's Russia?

Why do people say protestors should protest Nigerian or Sudanese atrocities, then? The RSF or Islamists certainly won't listen.

You know the answer. Sensible protestors aim to pressure the UK government (an Israeli ally) and raise awareness of charity initiatives.

I accept the people you describe though are probably just woke idiots.

It's possible to condone retaliation from Israel but still believe some of their tactics have been immoral. Are Jewish critics (eg in Haaretz) all anti Semitic? Of course self hating Jews exist.

I do think some protestors for Palestine Action were there on principle that it's a bad organisation but that the banning could stand an anti democratic slippery slope.

But probably a minority.

Yes.

The banning of journalists is one of the serious issues I DO have with Israel. I fully support their right to exist, but nit all of Likud's tactics

It's odd to call all those causes moral panics., especually wars and climate change.

Most involve huge suffering and genuinely severe problems,,even if extremists have hijacked them.

Trans is a hard one as trans people do suffer a lot of genuine issues but otoh it's very hard when all the lobby groups are pushing to destroy women's safety and privacy and for hormones & surgeries for teens.

I didn't see much extremism in the Ukraine protests. That seems an odd one out.

There's also valid reasons to support a wealth tax apart from laziness & feigned illness. Fwiw, Reform voters seen to support one as a group, not exactly the demographic you mean! 🤣

👏

None whatsoever

How can we ensure that it won't escalate to digital currency?

We're already had figures like Farage have their bank account closed for expressing opinions.

No problem with that either. So much tax evasion is facilitated by cash

True. I still think it's too risky.

What information do you think will be held on your digital ID?

Are you prone to falling for conspiracy theories? You come across as a bit paranoid.

Everything hopefully. I’ve lived in a country with it before and it made life so much easier.

What country?

What is ‘everything’?

I agree that criticising Israel for fighting Hamas is abhorrent. What happened on Oct 7 does NOT mean any tactic is justified, though.

I agree that comparing Israeli soldiers to Hamas terrorists is disgusting. But it's still possible to criticise individuals who executed strategies that caused unnecessary civilian loss of life.

At the moment, the picture is still very unclear, so I do not think that anyone can know which strategies may have been uneccesary. I have my own opinions but there's very unclear information so how cab anyone really know?

I do feel extremely uneasy about journalists being banned from Gaza.

An EU country

It had tax details, social security eligibility, medical records, where you lived, all utilities records inc phone, bank details, next of kin, nationality. Etc etc

Right to work, where you worked and what you did, qualifications, photo id.

Was the country's motto, 'You will own nothing and be happy?' 🤣

Seriously though, don't you think this potentially could put too much power in the government's hands?

None of the digital id schemes in Europe (Estonia, Denmark, Spain), are mandatory. It’s still a choice.

If people want to give their personal data away fair enough (a bit like people who sign up for dna tests for fun), but it shouldn’t be mandatory.

Huge corporation Oracle - (cbs, cnn And soon tik tok), owned by Larry Ellison is behind it all in the uk. Why do we think he was on stage in Dubai talking about our NHS (best form of country wide data source anywhere in the world), backed up by Tony Blair? Tony Blair who controls KS on this issue. They weren’t in Dubai talking about mandatory digital id for charity. It’s only to make lots and lots and lots of money. And to control.

Anyone who thinks otherwise, is very very naive.
