#LeaveTheDark: Easy social media shares
My blog may be called “In The Dark” but that won’t stop me sharing this.
Yesterday we had a request for a shareable summary of the #LeaveTheDark manifesto. That’s quite difficult to do in brief. There’s a lot to it. A more complete manifesto will follow within the next few days.
But in the meantime we thought these little images might be helpful for people who’d like to spread the word a bit. There’s no issue with copyright or anything like that. We want and need people to share our stuff. That’s the only way we’ll reach enough people to turn last week’s idea into next year’s reality! And we will make this a reality.
So feel free to download and share these images across your networks. The more the merrier…
Thankyou! Together we really can make a difference and turn back the growing swell of hatred that threatens to engulf our society.

Not much on the website about the neo-nazis in the Ukraine the EU and NATO are so keen to prop up! As John Pilger says Brexit might just prevent World War 3.

John Pilfer has completely lost it. He’s even endorsed Trump. BrExit won’t prevent anything as Britain has endorsed its own irrelevance.

You are aware that Trump has effectively stated he will quit Nato? This increases the likelihood of ww3 dramatically.

For much of my life the Left (I am not talking about anybody known to me personally) has enjoyed grumbling about America while living in a freedom preserved by the American nuclear umbrella. Following the publication of the Mitrokhin Archive and other material from Moscow it is not seriously doubted that Moscow would have invaded Western Europe – indefensible by conventional means – but for this umbrella. Charles de Gaulle repeatedly exhorted Europe to stand on its own two feet against all threats, and I now believe that he was right about that.

Think he’s saying he is the lesser of two evils.
Corbyn probably wants to quit NATO as well, but it isn’t politically possible for him to say it, just like he supported Brexit but had to tow party line.
Corbin and Trump in power would certainly be interesting, we’ve had the McGuinness/Paisley love in so anything is possible!

Why single out the far right? Is there not just as much hate within the far left? Don’t militant feminists hate just as much as misogynist men?
We need to recognise that all human beings are the same, all capable of love and hate but more capable of hate; and do something about that. We need to recognise that the enemy is not people but belief systems, and that people holding beliefs we disagree with should be respected as people even while we disagree with what they say.
There is a tension between freedom and order in society, though; between anarchy and totalitarianism. That is harder to resolve.

Although I’d agree that the extreme left can be as scary as the extreme right in terms of behaviour, I don’t think it’s entirely symmetrical. There are clearly people on the left with racist attitudes – witness the problems in the Labour Party with antisemitism – but that seems rather different from the case of parties for which racism is actually the policy.
And I think you’ll find that there are far more crimes committed by misogynist men against women than there are by feminists against men. Feminism is not simple to define, as it is an individual thing, but I don’t see the connection with hate at all. Most feminists I know simply want equality and freedom from prejudice (and harassment).

I did say *militant* feminists, and hate manifests in more ways than illegal behaviour.
Actually I think the Labour party is not notably antisemitic in regard to individuals – witness the rise of the Milbands and Mandelson during Labour’s most recent tenure of office. I agree with those who say it is simply anti-Israel. But I do think that to avoid being called anti-semitic in its policies it should hold Israel’s neighbours to the same standards it holds Israel. That won’t be easy if Labour desires the Islamic vote in the UK.
