God I don't like Owen but I'm sort of insulted on his behalf that he gets placed on the same level as her in that "2 libs" insult.

Man's an opportunist weird trot electoralist but fucking hell he's sooooooo much better than that piece of shit is. Anyway he should recognise this behaviour very well, she's further right than the Labour party right.

Also she's just mad that her good friend Hilary didn't get to do what Trump is doing:

The only thing i know about Owen Jones' politics is he's pro-lgbtq, which is a rarity for public figures in the UK

He's gay so that's sort of to be expected.

His parents were pretty well known trots, Rob Jones was active in Militant, the trot wing of Labour that took over Liverpool back in the day.

I think being a trot red diaper baby is his least objectionable trait. Like you can't help having trot parents. Spending a year scolding people from his perch as a liberal zionist after the Gaza genocide campaign began is much worse (Even if he, as far as I know, came around on that)

He’s gay so that’s sort of to be expected.

you'd think so, but consider how many closeted homophobes that have been outed in the last few decades. lol

Well then, check out his view on any UK or us foreign policy action. It's bad.

No? He holds Corbyn's positions more or less. His phrasing around Israel has been annoyingly soft for decades but so has everyone's. He's a very typical euro demsoc trot

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

He's a Uighur genocide guy, he was pro libyan intervention, he spent most of last year repeating blob talking points about Iran, and he was scolding anti zionists after oct 7th (Although he has come around on that)

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

Yeah, trot stuff

[-] TrustedFeline@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

He seems to be just like Corbyn tho? Anti-us wars, pro-palestine pro-cuba. Does he have lib brainworms about china? Those are hard to get rid of, but not impossible

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

It's funny you say that because Owen Jones was ALSO one of the "Corbyn is an antisemite" guys iirc.

Owen Jones was ALSO one of the "Corbyn is an antisemite" guys iirc

Also not true. Prior to Oct 7th he was one of the "we have to soften on israel" kinds of guys though, but he did call it an occupation even back then.

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

He absolutely was one of the "The labour left is antisemitic" guys though, he was still writing about how the labour left were antisemites into the 2020s. He was doing speeches written by the people behind the organised antisemitism smear while it was going on.

I think after the initial claim he settled on a good tsar bad boyar shtick on the antisemitism thing where Corbyn was the only non antisemite on the labour left, if that redeems him to you
