Current Affairs London Protests

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

If you read what i wrote i am clearly saying that AT THIS MOMENT there are NO other MASS PROTESTS in US or UK.

Maybe if you bothered to listen to some of those protesting you’d know that they consider this issue just too important to ignore even during the COVID crisis, and felt compelled to get out on the streets having their voices heard.

Zat is is a protected species. His deranged take on politics, race and young football players emboldens other FreeTommies to stick their heads above the grass. He is vital for our ecosystem

Just from reading this thread and the US one...

If @Grinch @peteblue (and others as well as myself) post any content (even along with positive content) which people disagree with the THOUGHT POLICE launch into personal attacks.

I dont think its left/right wing based, its either:

1: Those who read + try to understand others views.

2: Those who dont understand or agree with others views and then make personal attacks or wum.

3: Those who just read and comment in a polite way.


I'd say those doing (2) who claim to support minorities are in fact hypocrites.

So in fact if you see all the posters replying to me like (2) you can see all the hypocrites.

What it is you find so threatening about these protests?

BUZZWORD ALERT!!

It's got F all to do with "thought police"... You have the freedom to say and post what you want. Just as others have the the right to scrutinise what you post and the way that you post it.

Also, you complain about personal attacks, but only respond to those posts where (you feel) you are being personally attacked. I've posted two or three reasoned responses to you in other threads, at least once alongside accompanying material that I asked you to watch in the hope you might learn something... had no response to any of these.

Someone posts a jibe about your obsession with young footballers... "THOUGHT POLICE! I'M BEING PERSONALLY ATTACKED!"

You don't want freedom of speech, you want freedom from scrutiny. No dice.

You clearly don't understand what constitutes an attack of a personal nature.

No one is attacking you. Stop being so sensitive mate. You chose to post what you did so own it and instead of repeating the same nonsense, listen to what people have to say in stead of simply saying they are attacking you.

What everyone is doing is challenging your motives and the content and its origin you are posting.

He just wants to defend the police, though not the thought police obvs

 

[Sadken]

In my opinion I don't think it's right to call them idiots. They're protesting for a just cause.

Fair enough, but is it worth the risk in a covid hot spot?

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

That's a decision for the people attending, isn't it?

 

[tsubaki]

Just to point out to you Zat (if it hasn’t been already) that was hours before the BLM demo started.

 

[Zatara]

Are you honestly claiming that there has never been a mass protest on any global issue in the city of London? Not for Stop the War, not for solidarity with Hong Kong, not for Trump's visit? Not for Extinction Rebellion?

Exactly. Some of those accounts are race hate mongers, who spread lies and misinformation.

This is a great time to weed out all the right wing dopes.

Could you FIND any other moment WHEN there are more THAN one mass proTEST at the same time?

By definition mass protests happen when a nation's focus is on one issue.

Oh for gods sake.

Why is that important? Why is it terrible that people feel outrage around a widely circulated video of a man being murdered by a racist policeman whilst his colleagues stand by and do nothing? Why should people not feel outrage at continued racial injustice? Are they not allowed to feel angry unless they can produce evidence of equal outrage about other subjects?

Maybe if you bothered to listen to some of those protesting you’d know that they consider this issue just too important to ignore even during the COVID crisis, and felt compelled to get out on the streets having their voices heard.

"We support other peoples views"

But personally attack and insult posters on internet forums posting videos of things which we dont believe in.

Well done lads

In the spirit of trying to understand...

What it is you find so threatening about these protests?

I dont feel threatened in the slightest...the protests dont affect me personally whatsoever.

Are we now only allowed to post if were physically affected by something and follow the crowds views and opinions?

What I am doing is seeing huge numbers of posters slating the police and others and shooting down others views.

Its amazing what a reaction 3 vids of black people + asian had here...without context...along with an aerial video + 2 singing videos.

Personal attacks + accusations...from people considering themselves to be

Open minded minority supporting people

Who dont want any minority views shared (on factual videos) if they disagree with them.


Quite bizarre really.

 

[Charro]

They always end up playing the victim in the end.

No no @tsubaki. We've already established that Zat doesn't have any responsibility to fact check his posts from twitter because "he doesn't have an account"

None of the examples you give are a personal attack or an insult. They are people questioning your views.

Whats the point of responding to accusations after i am still waiting for someone to respond to my questions...


...but not one person in this thread has...instead wrote accusations + insults in rude tone and demanded i answer them.

Its pathetically one sided.

I mean, in fairness I made a bit of fun of his rather random use of caps, but if that constitutes a personal attack then yikes, I really don't think Zat is cut out for the internet.
