Jesus Christ, I've read some bollox in my time but this thread just about tops the lot.
I know mate, it`s as if @verreauxi has never heard Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington speaking out against the victimization of black people and how destructive it is to the black community.

After such esteemed and learned proclamations such as "People like you persecuted Alan Turin" and "you`re judging Albert Epstein by his sexuality- you`re a disgrace and a moron because Epstein wasn`t a politician he was probably the greatest scientist of the 20th century" and the delusional non-history lesson pertaining to "There was a coup in 2014 led by the US - phony elections etc and they put Zelensky in, he`s a puppet" our very own in-house embarrassment continues with his impressive campaign of self-embarrassment and stupidity here tonight. [golf clap]
 
I certainly agree that racism is a mechanism by a privileged class to subjugate the non-privileged. But in the USA over several generations it has been white privilege at the expense of blacks. To be sure, things might have been different 1000 years ago or in a different location but I don’t think that is relevant to an African American living today, 50 years ago, or 150 years ago. To them it’s always been white privilege, not black privilege.
This doesn't change the label being both non-factual and abysmal marketing.

If we are to solve the problem, we need to discuss the actual problem. Doing it the other way just leaves a hole for people to choose to swim through, if they are so inclined.
 
You have been brain-washed into believing that "white privilege" means anyone white. The truly privileged - Eton, Rugby etc are laughing all the way to the bank while people like you point the finger at people who were press-ganged and subjugated for generations.
I`ll bet you even think "minorities" are anyone who isn`t white when the fact is whites make up about 1/8 of the global population.

You appear to have been brainwashed into believing there are no degrees of privilege.

That, very explicitly, is not what he said. It's not possible to have a conversation if you are unwilling to hear what the other person says. You're just talking to yourself under those circumstances. You'll win the argument doing things that way, but you won't get any smarter in the process.
 
Everything has pretty much been turned on it`s head as George Orwell wrote.
Antifa are fascists.
Hope not Hate are divisive.
Anarchists are the establishment on the streets.
etc etc

No he didnt mate.

You need to go and read up on the stuff you say.

George Orwell was a committed socialist and anti-fascist all his life. He went to fight for the international brigades in Spain, and actual antifa (not the lentil waving hippies that seem to trigger everyone today). He famously remarked on his experiences "that the only way to debate with a fascist is with a bullet through the back of his head".

He was vehemently clear in what needed to happen when faced with fascism, but also had the ability to be critical of regimes that had veered off from their socialist course.

Unfortunately you've got no idea what fascism is, and are one of many people who misuse the term to substitute for people you dont like. Just because you dont like someone, doesnt make them a fascist.

You are the establishments mouthpiece. You come up with nonsense that is aimed to distract from people trying to help make the world a better, more equal place. The other day you were defending peadophiles because they were right wing. You slander socialists trying to fight for a better world. You misquote/misunderstand Orwell. I doubt its deliberate, and theres no polite way of saying it, other than to point out that you are the establishment in what you argue.

And that's fine too, but you just need to be aware of it.

And I say all of the above in the context of having quite profound difficulties with all of the above (anarchists, hope not hate, Orwell) etc, but at least being able to understand that any criticism levied against all groups has to have some grain of accuracy to have any modicum of value. Essentially I have the maturity to criticise antifa while knowing they are not fascists, because I'm not 12 and realise that a fascist is not just somebody I dont like.

Mate, no one has ever gotten smarter by reading anything that oddball has ever written ?

It is a wum account, stop taking it so seriously
 
You have got a head full of magic.

What the actual **** have you written above? It is as if you are living in a parrallel universe. None of it is true. You have made up some weird woke extrimist story in your head and now believe it is real.

One of the strangest things I have ever read on GOT

Homosexuality is a natural thing - its proven to transcend humans and is witnessed in many other species of animal. The difference when it comes to gender Identity/fluidity imo (as a scientific free thinker) is that it largely stems from human culture and the norms/values drilled into us all from an early age in society regarding gender roles.

You dont see a female peacock longing to be a male peacock - and in general terms for example "body image" you dont see a male rhino get depressed because its horn aint as big as the other males in the water hole.

I will raise you this beauty which is ironically from the same poster.

Interesting...
