Not allowed to joke anymore part 115272 on 11:56 - Jul 1 by Bigalhunter

It’s quite difficult to show empathy towards individuals who openly admit to despising migrants, still find Bernard Manning funny, blindly believe everything Farage promises them and think Israel is behaving wholly appropriately.

You call it ‘delegitimising’ their views, but when they’re just too stupid and entrenched to listen to any other viewpoint, they don’t lack self-awareness?

Each to their own, I guess.


again, your characterisation of other people's views in your first para as just an attempt to stereotype and delegitimise those views.

your description of people who you disagree with as "just too stupid and entrenched" shows no intellectual empathy and a narrowly closed mind.

does it ever occur to you that your belittling of others because they disagree with you could also be directed back at you? i'm guessing it doesn't.

any way, it's hot.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

I’m not ‘stereotyping’ them. All four of those examples are happily owned by one of our ‘narrowly closed mind’ individuals.

As for the wider point, I’d be quite happy to be challenged and belittled for not agreeing that..

Farage is great.

Israel isn’t committing a systematic genocide in plain sight.

Bernard Manning isn’t still relevant and amusing.

Immigrants should be machine-gunned in the channel tunnel.

However, it doesn’t happen and I don’t understand why?

All I get is bluebudgie silently mashing the downvote without engaging and pointing out why my awfully narrow minded views are so wrong.

Perhaps you could start by telling me which of my views are displaying this ‘narrowly closed mind’ I suffer with?

Agree with your last sentence, so we do have some common ground as a start point…

if you can't see it, then you can't see it. fine.

'false equivalences' (as defined by you of course) is just another way of delegitimising opposing views.

the general lack of self-awareness, the belief that someone's own views are uniquely objective and correct, and the lack empathy towards others to recognise that their opposing views are legitimately held is a depressing feature of much online discussion. as i say, it becomes very dull.


This is, of course, just your opinion and other opinions will differ and are equally as valid. You wouldn't want to be presenting your opinion as the truth I'm sure.

This really is some fabulous paradox of tolerance stuff.

A truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance, if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself.

Not my words, Lynn - the words of Karl Raimund Propper.

Anyway- yes, boohoo to all those people saying sh*thouse things who aren’t treated very nicely as a consequence of actively choosing to say sh*thouse things, they’re the REAL victims after all! 💀😂

yes, how exciting, a tiny glint of understanding. in terms of 'equally' well that's what debate and discussion helps determine and is for everyone to make up their own mind about. but without empathy for other opinions, and a degree of doubt about your own, discussion is impossible. so well done you.

You don't have empathy for other people's opinions though, you certainly don't display it on here. What you do display is staggering levels of dishonesty, repeated false equivalence, and defending positions that are often unpleasant and poorly evidenced or argued for. Just my opinion of course, other opinions are available.

Nice to see this is still going strong without my valuable input.

Although I am thoroughly enjoying all the assumptions made about me, lovely stuff.

You really wouldn't expect it from such upstanding pillars of the community.

Or is that pillocks, I get so confused sometimes

and again you constantly delegitimise and belittle those who have different views from you. it's constant, narrow, blinkered and bigoted. all you seem to do is label the views of others as unacceptable and to police every discussion.

i am interested in other views and generally think that, within the law, they are legitimately and honestly held. what i object to is your obvious belief that attaching bigoted labels and smears to views you disagree with is better than discussion. it's all you seem to do.

Whilst everything you say is 100% true you won't win.

The sanctimonious gang will argue that green is blue and call you blueist if you don't agree

Just take solace in the fact that there are many others that agree with you.
