The Pushback against Leftism

You are right about one thing, you have no idea!!!

You tried to shut down the discussion yourself, you refused to read an article on the topic, you wanted "objective scientific research" on the topic!!! (as if such a thing could even exist)

You have only managed to expose your complete ignorance on a vital political issue.

Honestly, you should probably just back off this topic....you are embarrassing yourself.

Its funny people think this country or any country in the West has any kind of "Leftism" in power.

I don’t get you. You don’t live in Ireland, you don’t experience the issues first hand, yet you dismiss any evidence presented and shoot down people for complaining about their taxes going to waste. Why are you even on this bird, other than to exercise some power?

The church loves to go on about helping the poor and loving your neighbour, and they do a lot of good work at the lower levels, but in practice, they have amassed a lot of wealth and put a lot of effort into protecting it. The message and the reality are very different.

the statements he made were lies as he aimed them at a whole group of people rather then being clear about the actual reality which is some are guilty but others not.

had he stated the actual fact that some are guilty then he would have had a point but it would have been irrelevant given he had no solutions and was in no position to do anything anyway.

therefore he was simply throwing a bone to the bigots for votes and while he got some more votes, ultimately the majority overwhelmingly rejected him and his far right crap.

We have continous arguments here about left and right.

They are often tied back to what was left and right years ago, but really things have moved on a lot.

Left and right of today are meaningless when compared to history.

The modern left have fook all in common with the left a lot of us used to know when we were young or growing up.

The left of old was about workers rights, power of unions, availability of housing, education and healthcare for all and then rights of women in workplace.

Yes they started giving a nod to immigrants and minorities, societal issues like divorce, abortion, contraception, but there were always the bigger issues to fight.

And they had hang ups about Western military imperialism and capitalism and usually had a graw for communism.

Most of those issues like workers rights, women in workforce, laterally abortion, contraception, gay rights have all been dealt with so new battles had to be found to fight.

So the fight became about the minorities (well certain ones anyway).

And it really turned to not being about collective society, but about individuals freedoms.

If you think about it trans rights activism is not about what society or in particular what women want, but what certain individuals want.

Women in particular are meant to relabel themselves, are meant to put up with unfair competition in sport, share changing facilities with people that are still in a males body, all to satisfy a tiny tiny minority.

The love of mass immigration and asylum seekers is totally anti society, as the old lefts concerns about access to housing, education and healthcare goes out the window.

The only thing the staunch modern left have in common with the old staunch left is they still believe money isn't a problem and are always finding yet more ways to spend other people's money.

Anyone that goes against the new facebook/twitter/social media/NGO led modern left is labelled a middle aged white man, a white supremacist, a phobe of some sort and ultimately a Nazi.

The laugh often is the plebs spouting this probably are the kind that haven't read up on much history and probably couldn't tell you much about the real Nazis.

And in their modern terms the ones who actually fought and defeated the Nazis are so far to the right of what they now term Nazis.
