Almost every position the left has, is actually just an attack on Christian beliefs?

    I mean, freedom of speech is a core value of the left? Traditionally speaking it was the right that worked against it?

    Hell, the Patriot Act was introduced by a Republican president and a Republican controlled Congress and House. The act quite literally gives the Government the right to view and access all your information. Pretty damn Orwellian if you ask me.

    The lack of constructive argument responding to substantive posts is very annoying on these threads. People pile in on top of silly indefensible positions - and yes, they exist here- like a scrum on top of a pimple. Boot that little pimple to death!

    And meanwhile they deflect from and ignore the great festering cancerous lumps of contradictory ideology that are coming to the fore in modern society.

    Like 'progessive' gender politics that has little boys twerking half naked before adult drag queens in the street being described as brave. An amaaaazing story for mainstream news to drool over. It is not amazing. It is a ugly travesty of ''freedom''.


    And the tentacles from Judith Butler's insidious gender ideology having small kids convinced that feeling they have been born in the wrong body is not only a sensible position to hold, but one that should be chemically and surgically affirmed asap. Boys have periods too, for goodness sake. Deconstruction for its own sake. To hell with the fallout.

    That is until the ideology changes and confirmation itself is decided to be barbaric - then what are these people going to do with the walking wounded they have left in their wake?

    Those people are already being abandoned as the ideology evolves. It eats its own. Girls who have had radical mastectomies at 16. Boys who have reduced their bone density and been left with pre pubescent pensises. Young people who are infertile because at one point the ideology said they should medically intervene with their bodies. They are the sacrifices that have been offered up as people flail around trying to make sense out of what is incoherent.

    I feel sorry about all this really. I have a strong suspicion that there has been serious disruption of physiological processes because of pervasive xeno-hormones in the environment which permeate every space nowadays, starting from conception in the womb. The feminisation of water-dwelling animal species is apparent. It is due to chemicals. It is a problem in the ecology, the biosphere. We see it in humans with drastically falling sperm counts, soaring breast cancer rates, and yes, in my opinion, potentially it may be at least partly responsible for growing gender dysphoria.

    And instead of trying to find out what is going on we embrace an ideology that says this is the new normal, the new healthy.

    If it is the new normal - which may be irreversibly so due to chemicals - people should be taught instead how to live comfortably, contentedly in the bodies they have without savaging them on operating tables or with elective chemicals.



    Some day people are going to look back on these days as having been truly moronic.

    Actually our personal freedom is far more under assault from capitalist entities like Facebook and Google. No left, or right, only money. Sure they get accused of pushing right and left values, but they'd push fascism if it returned a profit. Look at Facebook, they give donations to both sides of the US political fence. Of course the bigger issue is how so many willingly sign up to this brave new world. Ah sure I've noting to hide. The statement of the extremely naive or the extremely moronic.

    I actually agree with you about Facebook and Google. These two are monolith monopolies of online free speech, and it's not right.

    They've already banned multiple right wing platforms, including Alex Jones ...who I don't even like and I find annoying......but nonetheless I belief he has the right to express his belief.


    The only people supporting such tight controls of speech on social media from the Capitalist side are the Corporatist Cronies like the Koch Brothers




    I honestly hate my Left Wing opponents at times....but I want to debate them, not censor them.

    Oh I understand it only too well.

    When asked about the sexualisation of kids clothing, you came back with this:

    Total cop out.
    When it was suggested by another poster that "anything goes? you came back with

    I didnt say that. As long as its within the law
    Yet another cop out. Plenty of things were and remain within the law that we know now to be dodgy. It being illegal to be Gay for one. Was it OK to be anti homosexuality? That was within and supported by law and not too long ago.

    And that's just the last two posts of yours.

    Then we add in your "loaded question" stuff. Is it only loaded because the kid's gay and this particular example is happening in the gay "world"? That any negative reply on your part might somehow get your rainbow in a twist? Would you be more forthcoming if it were a little girl dressed like a streetwalker dancing for dollars in front of adults? I suspect you would. As a heterosexual I have zero problem saying there exists various subsections of that sexual preference that are creepy all the way to repugnant deviants, so why is it such an issue to say the same of various subsections among homosexual preference?

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Problem is, too many people have decided it's a football game. Their side is left or right. No matter what their side does it must be defended. This type of arguing goes hyper on messageboards when people hide behind usernames. Here's a guy who's right wing twitter profile became public:

    https://nypost.com/2013/03/24/fdny-ems-lt-spews-racist-anti-semitic-tweets-but-cried-when-confronted/

    Between trolling, hiding behind names and "football team politics", you'll almost never get a real debate online.

    Alex Jones still has free speech. As companies, the likes of facebook and twitter are not obligated to provide a platform for what he says. Facebook and Twitter have that freedom too. Unless you want government regulate and tell companies what they can and can't show the public. Like China does.

    They banned him and others because they are inciting violence against people who don't share the same beliefs. Jones even made a call to arms of his followers which is one of main reasons he was banned.

    If Facebook etc were banning ordinary conservatives why is Trump still on Twitter or Charlie Kirk or Candice Owens or every member of the Republican party.

    Social media or forums like this don't abide by freedom of speech laws. You break the rules you get banned, simple regardless whether you are left/right wing, conservative or liberal, Christian, Muslim or atheist.

    Even 4chan the supposed bastion of free-speech online has multiple rules you must adhere to.

    THAT is the tradition that Conservatives in Europe and America are trying to preserve.......even for Liberals who bite the hand that feeds them liberty.

    ]

    It does not seem logical to fight against groups. Or even to be in a group to be honest. It is better to fight for individual ideas that you have considered and against ideas likewise. Any group can have good and bad ideas. That's the problem really, aligning oneself come what may with a 'group' and then detesting the other group regardless of good ideas they may have. That's not thinking; that's indoctrination.

    Can the far right not see that they're pushing bog standard reactionary right-wingers towards left-wing liberalism with the sort of nonsense we've seen from them in this thread and so many others?

    I mean 35 years ago both my parents were staunch, mass going pro-lifers who voted for the 8th Amendment, yet they were both solid Yes voters in both the same sex marriage referendum and the recent referendum on the 8th Amendment.

    I think a lot of that is because of the perpetual shrieking outrage from the Catholic fundies in the media at how other people want to live their lives.

    This perpetual shrieking outrage really is doing the reactionary right no good at all, yet they aren't smart enough to see that.

    Who was it founded that club you support? Who got it up and running when it had no money?

    It was Brother Walfrid, that's fairly common knowledge.

    I find it strange that you're under the impression that anybody who supports Celtic has to have Roman Catholic fundamentalist beliefs.

    Especially that Celtic has never discriminated on the basis of religion or anything else.

    You seem to be demanding that they should? Why?

    And no more than everybody who has ever worked with Fr. Peter McVerry has Roman Catholic fundamentalist beliefs.

    Why do you think these stupid things? :D

    You're the one slobbering on about your disdain for "Catholic fundies" and a love of left wing crap when it was right wing businessmen and a "Catholic fundie" that created the club you support. Seems to be becoming more and more prevalent down the years.

    The hypocrisy is incredible.
