Thank you Asthebellcurves

Well done you did it 👏

I remember learning about discourse at college. And know are school discourse is spoken about to the students. It is especially important for them to understand how most of historical information and research is written by white, middle or upper class men.

We have also ramped up the anti radicalisation through social media talks too since lockdown. I think this has had an amazing effect on students skills to detect and understand misinformation. Even with resent events they are talking about things but in a much more responsible way and not believing everything thrown at them. It gives me hope that the next lot of university students and adults will be like this too.

Having found out what sneaking regardism is, I may suggest it as a topic next time they send out an email asking if anyone feels a particular topic should be added to tutorial discussions.

The thing I’m struggling to find the right words to describe is the process I’m seeing all over the I/P threads of certain posters almost tag teaming to constantly derail threads with confirmation bias, by posting the same articles over and over again, by constantly using the same emotive/shocking terms (inaccurately), flooding each thread with misinformation dressed up as concern and humanity.
It feels a bit like it’s a game for them, to see how well they can embed antisemitic perceptions and prejudice in each thread, trying to outwit the shadowy organised/well funded groups of ”certain” people, with some fairly blatant attempts to draw “certain” people into an argument so they can then use it as evidence that they’re being censored/ Mumsnet is being controlled by a powerful lobby. It’s not a game- this conflict is having consequences for Jews all over the world, but they don’t seem at all concerned for the impact it might be having on their (inevitably very close and definitely real) Jewish friends they all seem to have.

I don't think they have true concern or compassion for anyone involved on either side most the time. It is just a game of trying to point score and to spread hate via misinformation or twisting things.

@25milesfromhome

I was once very open minded on this but after years of it, I believe the folks who do this are virulent antisemites and that's what motivates them.

Jewish friends my arse

Agreed @LemonyTicket. The constant background hum of casual antisemitism has always been there but watching the hatred behind it roar to life on the 7th October was truly shocking for me.

In case anyone hasn't seen this ;
