Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

The green party mile...

I dont understand.

I dont understand how people can support Trump
I dont understand how people can support Israel
I dont understand how people can support Putin
I dont understand how people can support The Tories
I dont understand how people can support Brexit

I just really do not understand.

I didnt even touch on the anti-vaxers, the climate deniers or the anti-woke morons.

How did we fall so far in a world with highly accessible education, information, never in the history of the world have we had access to so much information at our actual fingertips and yet people refuse to educate themselves on subjects.

So yeah, im pretty angry, soz abar dat.

That quite obviously is not what I’am saying.

Only twitter can make somebody think owen jones and Katie hopkins are comparable.

That’s up to you to realise that.

And you’re the one who is constantly accusing people of either being shadow tories or momentum members when called out the rubbish you lost in this part of the forum.

You might be too fixated on WWE Smackdown or the like to understand that these hold two irreconcilable and opposite world views. I would have imagined that this would be evidently clear.

These two have deliberately placed themselves at the heart of this culture war.

Both use their platforms to feed and stoke issues surrounding cancel culture and wokeism, trans rights and gender identity, immigrants – Brexit and the boats et al.

Both use their platforms to amplifying culture war themes and are always ready to jump in on any of these culture war disputes. I find no pleasure in saying that they are Opinon Leaders for their repective ends of the spectrum. And they are most definitely at opposite ends of the activist spectrum or, as I say, alternate sides of the coin.

As for your comment as to why is Owen Jones differnt to Vorderman do you think Vorderman would sabotage Labour/Starmer? I shouldn't need to say more than that but if this is someThing else that you don't understand maybe we can help you there too.

You seem to have a very limited/descriptive view but hopefully your are not too entrenched and can follow curiosity.

You can dislike him all you want, not said anyone does or doesn't need to.

Yet, you can decide who is and who isn't a Shadow Tory and also jump to the defence of Starmer doing articles for the Scum. How is that working out for him?

A lot of my wifes friends are actually members of Momentum. I'm pretty sure them being teachers and counsellors and working in mainstream education they would love to be associated with Hitlers personal guard.

Hi Moomin, welcome to the internet.

He’s not someone I pay a huge amount of attention to, but I respect his position on most matters. It’s weird how he’s disliked by many Labour supporters. His stance is fairly aligned with core labour values and he can at least back it up with some substance.

Fair enough

Hi Moomin, welcome to the internet.

Stop being a sanctimonious prick and all will be good.

The internet and opinion leaders like Jones, Hopkins et al.

Better still stop trying to jump into conversations without having a firm grasp of the context.

You are very

Welcome to an internet forum.

Prick.

Now, now, I know that you might feel upset but there is no need for that.

I'm far from upset, I'm loving life.

I'm just being truthful, I think you're a prick and a bit of a scab if you actually come from Liverpool.

Well, all I can say is that I feel sorry for you if me pointing a few facts out elicits this kind of a reaction within you.

You’re having a nightmare here.

Jones the same as Hopkins, outrageous shout.

You haven't actually answered my original question or the one regarding Momentum.

You keep going on about Hopkins and Jones, I wouldn't waste a minute of my time talking about that vile woman.

You've just acted like a sanctimonious prick.

I posted saying that Jones is consistently wrong, you misunderstood and have then flounced around like a plum duff.
