    People here on boards have enjoyed the far lefts campaign against Gemma O'Doherty but now the same people who cancelled Gemma, want boards.ie defunded because it's "racist" and because it has a conspiracy theory forum. Be careful what you wish for. https://mobile.twitter.com/DubRentWatch/status/1310901669413216256

    Another example of a useful service taken over by an activist.
    I expect their 5K followers to dwindle if this keeps up.

    What these muppets want is to close anything that isn't a clear echo chamber and any forum where their politic and general nonsense can be debated and argued against. Mainly because as we've seen in this very forum their arguments tend not to survive much questioning.

    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.

    Can you explain how or where that Twitter post you linked to claims boards is racist? I don't see it.

    Do yourself a favour there and log out of twitter.
    If you have done it your problem is solved and you no longer have to worry to worry about the "Far left" shutting down boards.
    Because apart from this twitter post and your claim that it proves the "far left" is shutting boards down I see no evidence of such.

    Ps no one cancelled Gemma, she is regularly in the various forms of media and still doing her racist ****e conspiracy nonsense.

    When you say these muppets you are referring to the OP or the tweet?

    You see anything that anyone on the left thinks is automatically adopted by everyone else on the left. We operate as a hive mind without any ability to have independent thoughts. Once you Google Karl Marx you're looked in for life.

    It can be exhausting but there's no way out.

    They would be better served tackling something like this,

    https://www.stormfront.org/forum/index.php

    Boards is a nice day out in the park compared to that site.

    If your argument is based on
    a.) a single tweet that has 2 likes
    AND/OR
    b.) Suggesting that GO'D is anything other than a racist ghow, and should be litigimised in any form....

    then you don't really have much of an argument

    No.

    More calls for censorship as usual from the the left. Free speech is under attack like never seen before can't question covid figures or question immigration into the west. 1984 is coming true.

    How do you sustain such amazing form? Without fail when you post in a thread I know it's going to be fantastical drivel, always delivering. Hats off.

    Mate I wouldn't bother. The average IQ of a far righter is miniscule.

    You can say I am being a snob all you want but go to one of Gemma Doherty's marches. Right off the bat you can see these goons are morons, socially inept and with drug dependencies or criminal convictions. Not one of them works in a professional setting, is a high earner or well spoken. They are literally swamp people.

    The last one I was out two of them were literally nodding holding their signs. They were geared to their eyeballs.

    They want to attack minorities and hate on them but really they are trying to deflect from their own shortcomings by believing they are 'superior' to someone else or they are making up for such a pathetic excuse of a life by convincing themselves they are on the frontline of some noble, ideological battle against invaders from afar

    Its actually quite funny watching them go into hysterics if a black kid is involved in something but then be completely silent when 50 white kids go into Swords and attack people with knives and bats.

    Lads!
    This is really all part of a genius marketing plan by Boards to get us all to subscribe and throw them a few quid ;)

    I for one welcome our new leftist/centrist/rightwing* overlords!

    The same is also true of the extreme left social justice warriors.

    Or do we need to go further right?
    How far right is right or can we ever go wrong going right no matter how extreme right we go?

    We need something to congregate against, it’s what keeps us together and prevents us from killing each other, don’t wreck the buzz.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 572 ✭✭✭Errashareesh


    Moronic as the tweet is, it's just a barely acknowledged tweet. With no call for shutting anything down (although they would love it).
    Spoken with the level of compassion that only leftie could aspire too.
    It's true though.

    And I cannot bear the far left either. Often the two extremes have more in common than they'd like to admit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 430 ✭✭Roger the cabin boy

    It is dangerous drivel.

    You probably subscribe to the "Humans are a cancer on earth" tripe as well?

    I followed that account as it flagged up the worst places in Dublin that were being put up for rent, don't know why it's chasing the Journal for threads on Boards (Yes, I know they have the same parent company).

    Disingenuous sh!te from the OP.

    Dangerous (no it isn't) drivel or not, it's true. It doesn't apply to all attendees of course but it's still true. Same with many who attend ramblings by Paul Murphy and his ilk. Illiterate, ignorant waster types.

    I don't know what the hell you're on about in your last sentence and I definitely don't understand why someone who doesn't know me says I "probably" subscribe to it.

    Anyone who has any right leaning thoughts = Hitler
    Anyone who has any left leaning thoughts = Stalin



    Once the polarization is complete, there will be little left that won't be attributed/designated to a "side"


    The far (insert side here) have ruined everything for everyone.



    There's no such thing as debate anymore, just a load of incessant shrieking.
