pink_triangle Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 It was an interesting video to watch. This Andrew Tate stuff really worries me. It’s easy for people on the left to dismiss it, but where are the solutions? What have either Corbyn labour or Starmer labour offered to the people who are attracted to his message? I feel ignoring the problem and kicking the can down the road just results in problems for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get rid of Andrew Tate, but someone will come and fill the void. What is the alternative message the left can give, because the far right will do everything they can to take advantage of this group?

What is the alternative message the left can give, because the far right will do everything they can to take advantage of this group? yeah, well this is like anything...like people who are attracted to racist groups or dodgy conspiracy theories. So, I guess you offer them the chance to a decent education and decent jobs...but they might have to share that decent education and those decent jobs in a level playing field with something called women. And actually it is still no where near a level playing field anyway. At same time stamp down on it, lock up c**ts like Tate, and make it clear that like racism, misogyny is not tolerated.

When you see that Corbyn is in a tough fight with incumbency, name value and a loyal following, you can see how though it is running as an independent. I think all she could do is split the vote and hand the seat to IDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might come down to silly things like how they're ordered on the ballot paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So trying to say every candidate is at that level seems a bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
