I never heard anyone think ok was an issue til I read the OP (and boy I'm sorry I did).

There's at least one poster here who needs to study Dougal's old diagram from Fr Ted

All part of the culture war now. Owning the libs.

Its not an issue here, but some lads are keen to import it.

If you are racist, just be racist. Have some courage.

This type of utter nonsense is rapidly heading towards the mindset of "..Hitler loved dogs, therefore all dog lovers are Nazis".
I'm surprised that they haven't started hounding Helly Hanson clothing to drop their H.H. logo in case it could be construed as Heil Hitler by some.
Halfwits the lot of them.

Lucky number 8 is to be banned in China as the 8th letter of the alphabet represents the letter 'H',
they will shortly move to the (lucky 7) Western tradition for general numerical lucky-lucky-win times

Also in bingo, two fat ladies (88) have now been banned, as well as being terribly fattist,
it represents the double H, it will now be know as the 'integer ball formerly between 87-89' (not as catchy).

Don't give the Idiots and NPCs any ideas. They have proven time and again they will run with anything that furthers their victim complex.

It's amazing how troll can't seem to get their heads around context. I guess its what makes them trolls. If for whatever reason you give the ok sign in everyday life you are not a racist, if you are one of many in a anti-immigrant march using it then it is a symbol.

I have only read your posts now for a few days, but I must say you're posting style and language used only serve to prove how indoctrinated you are to your cause.

The tactics you use as to attack the character rather than the argument are glaringly obvious for all to see. Really only highlights your bias and your refusal to deal with reality.

There are too many (especially) recent posters who post everything through a lens related to the American culture & political wars.
They have adopted the same words and gestures and arguments which 99% of the time have zero to do with this country or the orbit we live in.


"liberal", "progressive", "alt-right" "Soros"
Their talk parrots their favourite YouTube channels spiel and are trying to transpose every bit of bulls1t to Ireland.

It's been floating around for a while.

They've been a parody for over 20 years.

They once tried to label Davod Icke as an "anti Semite", trying to claim that when he said "lizards", what he "really meant" was "Jews".

But, he really did just mean lizards.

The ADL have a long history of telling folk what the people in their firing line "really mean".

In the modern Left it does make sense.

The ADL has nothing to do with "the left".

"Modern" or otherwise.

The Left have really lost their minds in the States.

Fun to watch

Fair enough but this loohlah bollocks is now engrained across the Left and self declared progressive movements.

The world is become so incredibly stupid and those in power and with influence are doing nothing to stop it.

All these anti-hate, civil rights organisations have been highjacked by the far left and are now worthless.

Yes, but the media picked up the ball and ran with it because it fit their narrative. And then they wonder why Trump calls them the Enemy of the People.

No it isn't.

People need to stop looking at ridiculous nonsense in America and strawmanning the left with it, just to suit their own limited point of view.

It's beyond tiresome at this stage.

There is no left in America, just flavours of right.

+1 This quarterwitted utter scutter on all sides of this so called Left and Right is almost entirely an American cultural politic spreading beyond their shores by way of the interwebs, only bought into by a handful of impressionable eejits on this side of the Atlantic. Sadly among those eejits there are the attention seeking fcuknuggets in the media, but just ignore them, switch channels, don't buy their rags at the newsagents, don't subscribe to their sites and twitter feeds. Oh and there's no point responding to them with logic or even dog's abuse, however tempting that might be, as like attention whores anywhere it's the attention itself that flicks their bean.

These people are only "left" when compared to the Republicans and those other twats, Libertarians, who are really only Republicans is different clothes.

The likes of Sanders and Cortez may adopt certain left principles, but compared to the Left of Europe, they leave an awful lot to be desired.

Besides, the parties that they are a part of remain dedicated to their centrist right policies that they've been clinging onto since the 90's and the chances that they'll get to actually implement any of their more moderate ideas are practically zero. Sanders was even scuppered in the last election, because the DNC preferred Hilary Clinton to go forward, who in any other country on the planet would be considered a Conservative candidate. Even Tulsi Gabard is being backstaged by the party and she's saying a lot of things that both the Conservative and Liberal public can agree with.

But this is largely by the by. People this side of the pond duped by shrill, clickbait merchant, nouveaux right wing, shit stirrers on YouTube and fed an extremely bad diet of "look at what the Liberals are doing" nonsense are saturating the minds with rubbish and believing that this is de rigueur for Americans, when the reality is that most Americans aren't even looking at this shite themselves.

The morons who lap up this crap then go on to bleat about "Liberals" - a term they have absolutely no understanding of, outside of what their YouTube guru's tell them it means and subsequently end up making fools of themselves in the most cretinous fashion.

Simply put, there are no real sides in American politics. It's a one party state with slight differences in flavour, when the reality is simply more of the same no matter which figurehead one votes for.

I agree with this, but I do think Sanders and AOC want to implement genuine left policies.

Funny thing is that the people on this side of the pond lapping it up and spouting the same type of ****e regarding liberals wouldn't have three different college courses offended to them and paid for in the main by the taxpayer, while being on social welfare if living over there. You have to wonder if they are just trolling or just got mental health issues.

The left includes the ones incapable of having a conversation.
I disagree with people on the right also, but when I debate them they are at least reasonable and don't look to call me names at the slightest opportunity.

Just look at the difference between AOC and Sarah Palin.

Yeh sure. The "right" never dream of calling anyone names.

They wouldn't think of calling anyone an "SJW", or a "cuck" or "woke", or a "libtard", or "snowflake"...ad nauseam.
