Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

[Tucker]

just a fact of biology and accepted by reasonable society as just that, especially the youngsters not poisoned by their parents, which I see at my local school.

I would argue that these days the poisoning of young minds is happening within school grounds.
I had a meeting with my kindergarten child's teacher and principal a month ago as he has been coming home from school recently with ever growing rhetoric about how bad white people are. Some of the language and stories were approaching what many reasonable parents would consider hate speech.
The principal did agree with me somewhat, but the teacher was extremely upset and taken aback that a person like me could form such an opinion. He was very confrontational and stood by his narrative, even doubling down in front of the principal and myself.
For the record, I am Koori and he is white....

When you talk about the right I assume you are talking about the delusional people who make up stuff like cancel culture.

I wouldn't consider them good people. I'd consider them delusional.

Plenty of people on the right are good people.

We need different categories now though. The middle right like the Teal independents for instance are cool. Smaller government, better management, taking care of the environment and pro-immigration.

The delusional right who are into all of these made up fantasies like cancel culture etc shouldn't really be considered middle right.

How is cancel culture made up when there are so many public examples that it happens?
How is it possible that people can be set upon for making off colour jokes when they were young, having their reputations tarnished for historical "crimes' against PC mindsets and you sit there claiming that those who mention it are delusional?
You automatically label these people as bad?
What gives you the right to be so judgemental and what makes you so sure you are correct in these assumptions?

Additionally, dont be so sure the Teal Independants are disaffected campaigners from the right. An ANU study has suggested the opposite is more likely. To this point I would reinforce that categorising people based on their political beliefs is low IQ thinking. There are excellent people who are considered conservative, just as there are excellent people who are considered progressive. It is only those with views stretching to the extremities that are problematic.

Can you please provide these examples ?

Wooh. Slow down dude. You are so intense.

Give me the facts. Show me all these people that have been cancelled. You should be able to list 1000's of them.

I heard Charles Barkley talk about this recently and he continually makes non PC jokes. He stated the exact same thing I'm stating to you. This cancel culture is something that the delusional right have made up.

Why hasn't he been cancelled ?

Added:- I assume when you are talking about cancel culture you are talking about extremist leftists getting cancelled like this one:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicia_Sonmez

The right has to stop cancelling people.

Ever heard of Elon Musk? Look him up.
A man is lauded by society as a genius. Held up as a god due to his green initiatives via Tesla. Decides to buy Twitter. Is now considered evil and is facing a very real campaign by activists and know-it-all celebrities who are working the talkshow circuit just to kick him.

Charles Barkley is some sort of authority? LOL ok pal....
Also, please dont quote wikipedia as a source for information. Even the most remedial of students understand its low value.

You are so funny. You gotta be trolling.

It shows you how stupid 99.9% of the stuff you go on about is right. You are being played and it's so obvious.

If cancel culture was so bad like what you are stating you'd be able to give me 1000's of people cancelled solely due to something trivial they've stated at some point but people state non PC stuff all the time and they don't get cancelled.

My god man, you cannot afford to be this closed minded and simple in today's world.
I am assuming you still live at home with mum and dad? Open your eyes son, the world is turning without you.

I am not going to do your research for you.

I am not closed minded or simple. It's you. Proof. You state something like it's a fact and you give me one of the richest people in the world as an example of cancel culture. It's delusional man.

Of course you aren't going to do any research because you go and watch some stupid video with no facts and a bunch of BS and you just agree with it because it suits your mood and delusional world view.

Give me facts and data and you don't have either because you've been played.

 

[earl]

Anyone have any thoughts on the Brittany Higgins case ?

Personally I can't believe it even got to court. There was no evidence.

That is a very public and ongoing situation. I have described it to you quite clearly.
I dont think you are capable of understanding what it is you are arguing about so Ill just excuse myself.

Its funny, when i first started on this forum, I saw you make claims that made me think you were far right in nature. I point to you being dragged in this very thread for your insular and ignorant views on small business in Australia and of course your racist views on the Lebanese community where the whole forum torched you and rightly so.

Now you are wading into this territory again lol. You are certainly on the extremities and I think once there, it matters not which side of politics you identify as being aligned with.
Good luck to you.

It's very public isn't it. Like in conspiracy theorists circles. Tell me all the people who have suffered from this cancel culture apart from the extremist leftist that I mentioned.

I'm can understand everything that you are stating. It's not complicated at all. It's actually stupid.

Earl, you keep calling me stupid yet your fundamental grasp of language is low grade at best.
Please proofread before posting. Your tirades are hard to follow when obvious spelling and grammar mistakes are so distracting.

You cant provide these people with examples mate, it'll never work. This Earl bloke is sitting on the internet and cant even be bothered to type into google examples of cancel culture and have 100 examples pop up in 2 nano seconds. They have no desire for truth, facts, virtue and logic. Emotion, lies, oppression and power is the lefty way. Beating a dead horse when they ask for examples.

 

[Winston Churchill]

The only people i have seen who use the "orange man bad" vernacular to describe Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon are people who seem to be on the far right wing of politics.I can only assume that they call him that so they can try to engender a degree of empathy for him.
I have always opposed extreme political views on both sides as it only leads to the persecution of people who don't agree with the ruling clique.

The left cant meme. NPC saying only people on the right say "orange man bad" is mind-numbing. Do you even internet?

Exactly.
I wasn't going to entertain the idea but thought I'd throw him a bone concerning a very current and reported circumstance. He is a simple minded creature as evidenced by his racism and lack of concern for people who were struggling through the pandemic as alluded to earlier. I have learnt my lesson.

Disagree. Of course there was evidence - her testimony is evidence. If it wasn't for her mental state he'd be up again next year. As it stands, I believe they could refile charges at any point.

I didn't call you stupid. I called what you are stating stupid which is it. Sorry about the grammatical mistakes.

I'll work on the grammar and you work on not being played. Sounds good.

I sometimes still fall into the trap of thinking they want honest discourse but you discover very very quickly they don't and you find yourself saying yet again "damn, I did it again, gave them a chance, fool on me"
