Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Oddball]

Anyone who uses the term "cultural Marxism" unironically is an imbecile.

can`t see the wood for the trees comes to mind while reading your unbelievably well informed, utterly enthralling tome of a post which while captivating in its concise brilliance enlightens one and moves one to song by its insightful depth. a masterpiece.

Do you feel that person should face consequences for their actions? If you were their employer would you keep them in their job?

@Oddball

Seems you’ve avoided this question (unless I missed your response, sorry if I did).

I too, am a believer in freedom of speech being a pretty fundamentally important part of society, but I do accept there’s limitations on that.

So, let’s ask something dead simple. Let’s say, on Monday, I go into work, and a member of my staff calls another member of staff the n word.

Do you think there should be consequences to that, or should I accept it as a genuine expression of their free speech.

bear in mind while your lecturing me that i was having a discussion with Chester..........btw you actually do need educating, i know its a bind but if you stick your oar in you`ll have to accept being schooled, so.... Stalin was a Marxist/Leninist.

That's what mist closed view historians percieved him as until the end of the Cold War; after the fall of the Iron Curtain though, he is now widely regarded as being anything but. Seriously, do some reading.

to me its like comparing Socialism and Labour they mean basically the same thing and ultimately politics is THE problem. my original point got lost in the minutiae wherein the fundamental ideology of Marx/Lenin/Stalin killed 60 million workers.

I make no promises.

Could you repeat your response to the original question, or even better, answer mine.

Could you answer my question. I’ll repeat below for ease.

It’s not a trick, I’m interested in your response.

Just say “I’m not answering” if you don’t want to answer, instead of the cat and mouse game.

I ‘can’t take you serious’ either mate [sic]. Have a good evening.

Try to keep your brain in the right mode.
