You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

murder porn for this audience.

I guess part of putting kanye in a sock was also a white supremacy thing then, white supremacists don't have to see anybody but white presenters and - well, their gimp. The only black person they actually see is from a film being murdered while he talks about their favorite idol, Adolf Hitler.

I probably should have clarified I was thinking of a credible argument, but fair enough 😁

I don’t see post numbers on mobile TMH, but I’ll accept that fair enough, arguments were made that the left should stop looking at the right.

No, I don’t think merely being concerned about the issues you mentioned is in itself hysteria, I was referring to the degree to which anyone should be concerned with these issues, and there’s a difference between a passing concern, and blowing something out of proportion as you’re doing. Granted I’ll accept that your concern is greater if issues affects you closer to home, but they don’t affect most people closer to home in the same way you’re arguing they should, at least in theory.

I just don’t know why you’d expect people who see themselves as being on the right would be concerned about the things which you see as having a negative impact on society from your leftist perspective. It appears more so that you’ll position anyone who doesn’t share your opinions in that mould, even though they themselves wouldn’t - I’m thinking of the kind of people who are on the left who don’t share your socially progressive point of view, former academics for one group anyway who have been dislodged from their respected positions within their respective communities, I believe they refer to themselves as ‘classic liberals’.

I can’t really think of any good examples of dangers to society from either the left or the right tbh as I don’t think there are any. I suppose the last thing which was of any particular significance was the proposed ‘objective’ sex education bill from 2018, of which it’s stated purpose was this -

An Act to guarantee the right of students to receive factual and objective relationships and sexuality education without regard to the characteristic spirit of the school.

There wasn’t any discussion of it on here, but it would undoubtedly have had an enormous impact on Irish society and our education system had it actually become legislation. It didn’t though, because it was rejected by the organisations which represent over 90% of schools in Ireland, and the ‘objective’ claims in the bill are already taught in 10% of Irish schools.

A retired priest in Kerry makes a tit of himself (again), and there’s discussion for days about it, and the whole thing is blown out of proportion in pretty much the same manner as you’re doing in pointing to all the things and making the point that people don’t appear interested in discussing what you want to discuss. I might suggest it’s a blind spot in your perspective that you only see what you want to see, but in reality it’s simply that people care more about things that they imagine have a more immediate impact on their lives.

In your case it just happens to be all the things, and you attribute responsibility for those things to the political right, as you would. For others it may well be that Gillette are moralising and capitalising on trying to sell their products to a wider market of consumers, and the kind of precedent they’re trying to impose upon society that you don’t see the issues with from your perspective.

I do see your point, I just think you’re blowing things out of proportion is all, but it’s understandable that you would, in the same manner as the people you’re critical of are prone to the same sort of behaviour. I can certainly appreciate the irony in John Cleese becoming the very thing he rallied against, and while you may well have only become aware of it in the mid-90’s, this video was made in 1987 -

Thats the Yellow Vesters. Im embarassed for you that you consider Yellow Vest Ireland left wing.

Thats not the point. The poster suggested something cant be classed as far right unless its violent and armed. Thats just bunkum.

This is the type of weak mindedness you have to deal with around here from some people. As if any of those responses in the last two shitposts counter anything to "extended war on terror advocated for by Right wing neo-cons in the US, the financial crash precipitated by a reduced regulation and capitalist greed, Brexit and its impact brought about by right wing ideologues, the Russian invasion of Ukraine by a right wing dictator, the targeting of medical/scientific experts by right wing mouthpieces during the worst pandemic of our lifetimes, the continued destruction of the environment and the impact on the climate by right wing ideals and the widening of the rich vs poor gap as a consequence of capitalist greet etc"

The idea that crying over some rad fems pissing and moaning about men is on the same level as the banking disaster of 2008 or the ever widening gap between rich and poor beggars belief.

Fucking Jesus... SMH

Seems like it fits here

This weren't no left wing provocateur that's for sure.

Was another one this weekend in North Carolina. 40,000 Duke energy customers lost power because one or more substations was “shot up” to try and disrupt a drag show from happening. Police have some suspects they’re looking at already.

So much wrong in this post:

1. The yahoos shooting out the power station in NC that was posted about earlier, were unindicted Proud Boys. Far right nutters. Concerns about safety of the attendees and performers arise from the actions of the Nutters
2. Florida neo-nazis picketed the drag performance I posted about in Florida. Again, far-right nutters picketing with firearms and the Florida PD did nothing, though fortunately there was nothing to do
3. Brexit driven by right-wing ideology is. a. fact. None of the big backers of it were 'on the left.' It was all about controlling the UK populace, using immigration as the stalking horse. Now that "Brexit is done" (*laugh*) it's suppress protests and calling nurses allies of Putin. A bunch of right-wing twaddle
4. People that believe in managing immigration can be all over the spectrum. Every country has immigration controls. In the UK, there are additional policies that are particularly odious (windrush? "inhospitable to immigrants?", non-existant asylum system?) All performative cruelty from HMG

I have an idea about drag shows that you right-winger types might try. Ignore them. Don't attend. Don't give them oxygen. Instead of suppressing free speech by picketing and campaigning against them. They're a novelty that only the RW protests bring to the forefront.

Now you are telling posters that are not normal because they don't agree with your views.

FBI is now involved, substations destroyed by gunfire, shooters knew what they were doing.
