Always love this one. The very idea that the Democrat party as a whole or Corporate Democrat presidents like Bill Clinton or Joe Biden are left wing, much less communists or socialists is ludicrous. Even Obama was/is right of centre
100% the only choice in the states is right, farther right or Bernie and heās getting too old
Yeah, Bernie will be missed when heās gone. He runs as an no party affiliation Independent who caucases with the Democrats for a reason.
The way the Democrat establishment panicked and attacked him when he seriously challenged Hillary for the 2016 nomination was disgraceful.
Empires fall. All of them, history shows us.
Better ban that shit rapido.
I find it bittersweet that right-wing US portrays The Democrats as communists, while simultaneously embracing Stalinist policies (e.g. you are 100% with us or our deadly enemy) plus loving the taste of Putinās micropenis in their mouthsā¦
A lot of what is wrong in the US (and UK, increasingly) arises from ignorance.
I wonder if the religious schools teach the bit about Lotās daughter getting him drunk and having sex with him to get pregnant and carry on the family line. And then her sister doing the same thing the next night.
Ezekiel 23:30 is another favourite:
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
The bit of Matthew 1 where the lineage of Jesus includes a prostitute and an economic migrant also may go against some peopleās views.
Antifa anyone
The majority of the.āproud Christianāsā on Twitter etc. are nothing of the sort, the only thing they like about Christianity is that it gives them an excuse for their hatred and psychopathy.
Now the fundamentalists/theocrats that actually believe this shit (from all religions) and think society should be organized/governed using their imaginary sky buddyās teachings as a guide . . . how the fuck do you have reasoned debate with that crowd?
The Kiwis seem to have a decent idea how to deal with ignorance and stupidity. They seem to have handled all this a lot better than Straya managed to:
I guess not letting people say what they want to say is fine, just as long as we make sure itās only applied to bad people and people who are wrong about things.
(Just to be clear, I personally suspect this woman is wrong about quite a lot of stuff and may also be a bad person.)
My favourite was when bush said god told him during the night to invade Iraq.
I suppose when it went wrong it was a great way to deflect responsibility,go and have a go at god,not me.
Sutcliffe tried this as a defence saying god had told him to kill prostitutes,sadly for him it didnāt work.
There were all sorts of pro-Nazi demonstrations associated with her appearance in Australia which is really what I was alluding to. However, I presume shouting āFuck Off!ā very loudly at someone you donāt agree with qualifies as free speech too. It is a shame if somebody gets drowned out in the ensuing ruckus.
A measure of Murcanman
Thatās more than 12 years old. I fear things are even worse now.
When it comes to āreligious leadersā being responsible for their beliefs I guess that might be a pretty short conversation in a lot of cases, ending with āGod, via His sacred text, not to mention centuries of devout practice, tells me that this is how He wants me to behaveā.
Completely agree. As people have since retreated into their own echo bubbles on the net. It seems dumbness, particularly Murcan dumbness can outbread any colony of randy rabbits.
The whole TERF movement is a minefield, as is every aspect of transgenderism (for want of a better term). The extremes of both embrace straightforward insanity (e.g. rabid androphobia vs. the 2,000-genders brigade). I feel it deserves its own thread, but at the same time both groups are so diverse, nuanced and complex that anything a bunch of aging male hifi blokes has to say about it is inevitably a hopeless generalisation⦠I sure as fuck wouldnāt want to be the one trying to enact legislation to deal with either issue.
We are NOT having any gender threads. Fuck that all the way off.
There are places even AA fears to tread.
