The odd part is I have yet to say anyone saying the things that they are told they should stop saying.
This all seems like a really aggressive attempt to preemptively narrow one side of the window of acceptable discourse.
My point wasn't about who said it or what they are referring to...I'm clear on that.
My point was I keep seeing critiques of a position I do not see actually existing in discourse. It seems like, since this started, there has been a concerted effort to attack a strawman.
'Focus' is such a strange thing to critique and just rings hollow. I really honestly haven't experienced anyone who talks about just western imperialism...maybe I'm blind and naive here but the fact that this is suddenly a critique is really sketchy to me.
Corbyn (who led the main opposition party from 2015-2019, nearly becoming PM in 2017, and then falling to a massive wipeout in 2019) has already been fired from Labour, but his "gang" were all there queueing up to worship Putin until they were bluntly told they'd be sacked.

The Stop The War coalition was formed to stop the west attacking Afghanistan and reached its height with Iraq, a reasonable view point.
Turns out that it's not Putin's fault Russia invaded, it's all America's fault. Probably Tony Blair too for some reason.
