Is why many feel the need to assume what they think is patriotic or the opinion of the masses? Farage I regularly used to see referred as the man of the people. Tommy Robinson and Hopkins are regularly said to "just be saying what everyone's thinking" by the same folk.
Why do they feel the need to project their lack of values on everyone or claim it's the British thing to do? These people are far from a "majority", let alone a "silent" one if you spend 5 minutes reading the rubbish spouted on social media.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone equate a leftist idea as patriotic or something everyone believes deep down because to do so with any idea is nonsense, even if in the actual majority. I don't believe banning hunting is the British thing to do or something everyone thinks for example, even though you'd hard pressed to find many people who are pro-hunting next to the masses of people against it.
Eurgh. |  |

I'd say it should be wanting what's best for the country, rather than blind obedience to convention. Understanding our position in the world and being able to judge what we need to do to improve things for the benefit of everyone who lives here and forms our society. Whilst simultaneously being a mature actor on the global stage and a being voice for positive change in the name of the common good (for people, regions and the planet).
Naive, I know. |
Hippy. |  |

Tell us, what makes right wing views better than left wing views? The floor is yours again. |
I have never said right wing views are 'better' than left wing views. As Glasgow Blue has very eloquently pointed out neither are better, they are just different opinions. The point I was making is that the left are very quick to demonise and ridicule those on the right. This makes them look like arrogant self absored ar$e holes, hence their current struggle for votes. |  |

Those b@stards who want a fairer society rather than throwing people and the planet under a bus for profit.
I mean, if compassion is the aim, I think one side trumps the other. | |

Neither view is better. Anyone, left or right, who thinks that their political view is in some way intellectually or morally superior needs to take their head of of their anus. |
It's logic like that that has resulted in Nazis being a thing again. | |

I think the election result backs up your point perfectly regarding people being more right wing than they admit.
I also think a lot of very impressionable, desperate & uneducated wretches that scribbled their crosses in the right wing boxes are the ones who will now suffer a torrid period of disappointment & misery.
I also believe that left leaning folk are brighter & better people, and everything I read on this forum merely reinforces that belief. |
From this hypocritical self congratulatory diatribe I can only infer, from your own definitions, that you are not from the left of the political spectrum. |  | | |

He made a statement earlier about how Britain has done more good than bad for the world historically and still hasn't provided in an actual argument. now he's throwing his toys out the pram and is claiming he's "walking away" from the debate.
I'm fine, but if trying to get a reaction from me will help your Friday go quicker feel free to do you. | |

I could think of many on the other side who appear that way too. One of them is our current Prime Minister. Others include Rees-Mogg and Farage. But seems the right-wing quite like those "arrogant self absored ar$e holes".

I generally agree with your point. [Post edited 24 Jan 2020 11:36]

You've named two good things, and completely ignored all the atrocities listed. Head in the sand. Your best line was Russia and China have committed genocide too so its OK. |  |

Its almost as if they want us to fall flat on our faces post brexit. Sad really. |  |

Weren't both sides at it tho? |
When you say both side then yes the Bosnian Serbs and the Bosnian Croats were both at it.....
Add to that the Bosnians, Croats and Serbs then they were all at it... murdering and raping predominately mulsims but also each other. [Post edited 24 Jan 2020 15:16]

Would you highlight all the good things on a building whilst it was on fire? Or would you focus on the matter at hand? | |

I don't see how many sane views there can possibly be of any nation imposing itself on others, murdering their people and stealing their lands and property.
Again, I'm not responsible for it and I will not apologise to anyone for it.
But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
See, also the French, Dutch, Portuguese, Irish, Spanish... |
Dont forget the Germans, Japanese, Russians, Persians, Turks, Italians etc etc | |

I always try to see the good.
Try it, it may make you more at peace with yourself. | |

How many good things do you have to do to expatiate the forced starvation of millions?
The ultimately good thing would have been not to do it. And any sane person would wish the British empire or any other empire, had never existed. [Post edited 23 Jan 2020 14:01]

I wonder how many people who argue in favour of the British Empire would have been happy to be a subject people in someone else's empire. Even one that built good high speed railways. |  |
