    By the way Keffiyeh, do you have a patent pending on the phrase ''radicaliz/sed right''?

    He'd have probably shot himself again more likely.

    That wasnt my point though, Hunter was a journalist who spent much of his career attacking the lazy idiotic press in the US.

    He'd have been disgusted with the media in America today.

    I don't think you know anything about Hunter. What aspects of the media would he be disgusted with?

    I know Fox he would want burnt to the ground and all that rubbish in the media with a load of twitter screengrabs but mostly one type of media doing that ****e.
    He was a man who "could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time" and said "his casket [should] have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. [He] was an evil man—evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it.”

    That was on Nixon so no doubt he would have blown Trump's brains out then turned it on himself again.

    Then read the post/blog linked earlier in the thread. There are hundreds of tweets of this stuff. It's just isn't credible to suggest that it's simply satire over that long a period.

    I was aware of her excuse and I've read the blog of her own posts. It's just not a credible explanation.

    I read the blog. It was a collection of tweets. I don’t know if it was all her tweets of just a few selected racist tweets. Hence my request for something more solid. I can’t find anything.
    A few? Pages full of them. I saw a Twitter thread earlier with them. Staggering actually.

    So you reckon being supportive of Gay rights and marriage and abortion would sit well with the most of the highly conservative "radicalized(sic) right"? Do you even know what these extreme right wingers you see everywhere are and what they tend to support?


    When you get your politics from

    of course you see everyone as extreme right wingers!

    It doesn’t change the fact that it’s tweets and only tweets. That’s my point.

    So was Roseanne's - yet many people called for her sacking, and got it.

    The method of communication does not negate the content, nor should it.

    "Just a tweet" is such a cop out.

    I am keeping some small part of my mind open for the possibility that this was a prolonged work of satire. Doubtful, but not absolutely impossible. If you ever find or create a reasoned analysis that demonstrates the satire thesis I would be interested in reading it.

    Do you know what sickens my hole Wibbs? These people would genuinely have you sometimes embarrassed to say you lean to the left. I've said here before that I feel they're pushing me closer to the right and I actually regret saying it because it gives off the impression that I care enough about them to redefine my thoughts and outlooks. There are always shades of grey to be had and those on either extreme end would have you feel guilty for thinking that if they could.

    This times a million. You would argue they're actually doing more harm than good at this stage

    Jayzis you're impressively slow if you're only copping on now. Although I don't really call RR 'Nazis'; would rather that term referred just to your 30's/40's equivalent. You're radicalized right.

    Yes but in all probability anyone that is slightly right of Mao or Stalin are probably "radicalized right" by your standards.

    As opposed to 'alt-right'?

    Is it 'alt-islam' when some asshole clears out a market with a bomb? No. It's a radicalized version of Islam. Please stop trying to make yourself sound so unintelligent.

    Oh poppet, read a newspaper - or a book ideally.

    I'm actually pretty conservatively minded, and you'd want to pick different people to try and make that point, because their shtick obviously didn't work, ergo you wouldn't find many westerners thinking they had something worthwhile to say. Unless you were just being dim?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 523 ✭✭✭Sal Butamol


    This is getting funnier and funnier.

    Mine? Suppose so. It's the Palestinian scarf, a symbol of resistance against those that infringe on others. Huge parallels between their fight and Ireland and English invasion. I think you're very confused with your dumbass emoji though.

    The only thing funny here is your inability to refute anything I'm saying with anything more than 'lol'. You weaksauce twit.

    Can someone put the yank to bed please? I'm as leftie as can get and even I'm getting a headache from them

    So if you are conservatively minded, define what you mean by Radicalized Right?

    You've painted a poster such as Wibbs RR. Wibbs is as far, far removed from an RR poster as you will find here.

    He/She critiques both far-left and far-right ideologies as a glance at the posting history would tell you.

    This nonsense post and what you quoted have no correlation whatsoever and nothing whatsoever can be parsed from it. It's a pathetic attempt at an insult but...

    I dare you to properly qualify what you 'meant' by that.

    I dare you.

    Show us how hollow that head of yours is.

    I love your desperation. I can practically feel you scanning my posts for a misspelling or similar, because in your mind you could discredit everything I'm saying just with that. (You couldn't). Sorry, all you're getting is a correctly spelled word that you're desperately, desperately clinging to.

    I hope you realize that.

    Well Plane, I expected you to at least try and save your right to any opinion in this thread. I'm disappointed that you messed up so bad, you couldn't even salvage an attempt. But 'open a book' I guess? Is that how people insult round your way? In the words of Sal... lol.
