    at least catholics admit they are following a dogma administered by a priesthood with its attendant sins, sacred cows and heresies.

    Try get him out of the basement that's where most of them make their nest, glued to a computer.

    That won't work unless you instill a properly misogynistic attitude into him first. Make sure he knows that women are useful for one thing only.

    And what person who wants to be seen to be with it would even want to be perceived as an old prude? Not cool

    Meanwhile the top of my epg is promoting a programme called My Trans Life. Couple of children in the picture. One black boy with breasts

    The right are good at appealing to the 'lizard-brain' as evidenced by this thread's reproduction of the internet's culture/idiot-war, largely emanating from YouTube's algorithm.

    The concerning thing about it is those eschewing 'leftist' politics, by conflating it with the culture/idiot-war, are intellectually emasculating themselves when it comes to taking control of their own destiny.

    I mean, you don't have to be a Marxist to want workers to get a better deal and you don't have to be an anarchist to be critical of property rights.

    There aren't that many basements in Ireland, unless they all live together in underground communes the numbers don't work.

    It’d be hard to love a leftie. Always smudging the ink as they’re writing, restringing guitars the wrong way and searching for their unicorn instead of living in the real world.

    That's because most of them are too stoned to live in the real world

    Well they wouldn't have time to protest and spend all day online for things to be outraged at, if something as trivial as a job got in the way.

    It's amazing how getting up very early for work, then wasting so much time of your life commuting back and forth on gridlock roads to get to work, then seeing the amount of deductions from your pay packet in order to pay for the welfare paradise that we have in this country; it's at that stage of their lives when they reassess their left wing philosophy. When they eventually get jobs in order to pay for mortgages, which are among the highest in Europe, and pay the insurance premiums for a car to get to work, which are 4 times higher than the European average; it's then when they question if it's worth staying in a country where the rich or the people who do not work seem to thrive.

    You are right but that really makes no sense.. there needs to be more to the left than welfare and in plenty of other countries there is. Vienna* for example has very affordable housing and a fantastic public transport network (365 euros per year for bus, tram, underground) through the fact they've only ever elected the Social Democratic left


    *Austria is federalised

    Your actually misguided, you are paying for the bailouts of the banks.

    You can introduce him to my son and his friends, they're not Liberal loonies tk fck...

    There's an emergence of young men in their late teens who are not bigoted, homophobic or misogynistic.

    But they're not subscribing to the whole Liberal agenda where there's 37 genders and we should all be pc etc

    A lot of them are sharing Jordan Peterson clips amongst themselves and gaining a better understanding of how to be factual, emotionally strong and not turn into pussies.

    There's hope for the future of mankind, slowly but surely the Liberal lunatic left are declining...

    ... and we can live in a country where divorce, equal marriage and abortion or stamped out and banned alongside freedom of expression, thought and the ability to learn that the word "left" in a political context doesn't exclusively refer to economics!!!!

    Leave your son do what he wants. His political opinions are not yours, and yours are not his. How hard is it for you to understand that?

    Then again you get the crazy Irish Trump supporters on Facebook going on whinging about gun control,vegans etc. Its funny because of the same people who go on about people getting offended, keep getting offended by things on the left.

    That reads like it's replying to five seperate posts to be honest.

    I'd agree with the last bit. The lunatics are being exposed for the poorly-researched bandwagon-hoppers that the are and the more sensible liberal left is beginning to take stage.

    The problem is that the ignorant right (not the entire right, before someone jumps the proverbial gun) STILL have not managed to actually tell the difference.
