    You’re quite keen on posting erroneous claims though.

    Yeah, that’s a flat out lie. Al Gore never said any such thing.
    But in the years 2007, 2008, and 2009, Al Gore made statements about the possibility of a complete lack of summer sea ice in the Arctic by as early as 2013. Helped sell his movie... Anything to make a buck, I figure.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    That’s your response? An anti-abortion website and some unrelated whinging about NPR being biased with regard to Al Franken?

    He made alot of ridiculous claims that never came to pass. The polar ice caps would completely melt while there's more now. Polar bears would be extinct but their numbers have increased.

    Will never understand why right wingers want to police peoples genders. All talk about freedom etc but for basic freedoms they are often against them.

    Don't be ridiculous. It's not about policing. I couldn't care less about some lunatic declaring themselves pangender or whatnot. The only issue I have is when it is expected that I recognise their delusion and am expected to accept it as fact.

    Calling people fascists or Nazis is de rigueur now a days.

    Made a mockery of the terms.

    There was a massive shortage of fascists and Nazis in the Western World but a massive demand for them, so they could be opposed.

    The terms had to be broadened so the young lords and ladies of the modern Left could engage in righteous and meaningful struggle against evil, create am identity for themselves based on that righteous battle.

    One of the most prominent Nazi groups in America has a membership under a thousand people.

    The Klan has a membership of 5k.

    This is out of a country of 300 million.

    Is it any wonder activists have to pretend that fascists are everywhere, the reality is a let down

    Their "why" needed to be satiated, hence fascists are everywhere, America is becoming a dictatorship, white supremacy is at the heart if every western culture ,intersectionality and all the other bat **** crazy rubbish that is now so prominent in the modern Left.

    The Left became of the well to do and different motivators applied and needed to be found.

    The science is quite clear that gender identity doesn’t conform to your outlook. That certainly opens up the possibility that you’re not looking at ‘lunacy’ or ‘delusion’, but rather an actual non-binary fact.

    No. No it's not.

    I’ve posted more than one scientific article confirming that it is. Feel free to refute with some different scientific evidence, or don’t, but save the tantrums.

    People get warned for dumping links to storm front, or videos by white nationalist talking heads and they run off crying.
    Lost freely within the rules? How many conservatives have been banned for “stating opinion as fact?” They drop like flies. If you read the Politics forum I’d say 80%-90% of ALL the posts there are opinion. But do liberals ever get banned for stating opinion as fact? Show me one! If equal justice under the rules was applied the Politics forum would probably be shut down after the opinion purge due to inactivity.

    A 'liberal' poster got banned off the trump thread I think it was, only in the last 24 hours.

    It's completely off topic, not a small bit, but humongous.

    We might as well talk about the turmoil years of the 70s for Canadian social democrats.

    An interesting topic, strangely enough.

    I may be wrong in this, but believed I have read that far right white supremacists account for more terrorist attacks in the US than any other group.

    I asked you once before but don't believe I received an answer, what do you classify as 'fascism'? As in how would you describe its central tenets and common themes?

    Really? A liberal poster got banned in politics? I think this momentous occasion deserves a ticker tape parade.

    Proof that the right wingers hate women. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-48871400 . Don't recall any similar hate from the left towards women.
    Female politicians across Europe have been targeted with threatening and misogynist content.

    On both mainstream and fringe social media platforms, analysis of selected profiles found women in politics faced frequent comments targeting their gender, race and physical appearance.

    According to Newsnight's investigation, which used comparative studies of politicians in the UK and Europe, the abuse aimed at female MPs exceeds that directed at their male counterparts, and differed in its focus and content.

    The investigation revealed evidence that female figures receive proportionately more abuse than their male counterparts - and that a significant proportion of it takes the form of misogynistic and violent anti-female vitriol.

    I think Eco's definition is a good one.

    Certainly seems like the fascists in America are quicker to pull the trigger than others.

    That still does not change that they are incredibly small in no.

    A fraction of their worst day, thirty years ago.

    A political rounding error small, rarer than the panda small.

    It's also hilarious that you are using "comments about their appearance" as proof that they hate women.

    I wonder do all lefties hate men because they body shame Donald trump? Or is that ok because he's a man?

    You didn't read the excellent professional report compiled by an internationally renowned reputable organisation. The right attack women on their personal attributes, the left attack the politics of the brainwashed.

    He’s a Republican candidate - seems pretty mainstream - and like I say - take your pick - he’s one of many.
