Current Affairs What is happening?

The only racists are the ones who constantly mention race mate.

Race never crosses my mind let alone buying into and promoting a political agenda known as "white suprema... I mean privilege".

I wasn't really calling you a racist in that post. More pointing out the absurdity of your "I have no dog in this fight" rhetoric while spouting the most common right wing arguments across a variety of topics claiming you transcend such things.

I will however say that most of what you post is unfiltered bollocks dressed up as unchained thinking.

For example:

"The only racists are the ones who constantly mention race mate"

Maybe, if you're constantly othering "non-white" immigrants and comparing BLM to a bunch of racist knobs in woolshire, you should spend some time thinking about race.

Considering I dont mention the colour of any immigrants skin your first point is nonsense.

your 2nd point is also nonsense as BLM don't protest when black people are killed and gunned down by other black people in US cities every single day. In fact in the space of last year more black on black killings were recorded than of the entirely of recorded lynchings and mob killings in slave times by racist whites (look it up).

Black lives only seem to matter to many of the protesters smashing up cities and burning flags when they're being taken away by a person of another race it sadly seems.

Throwing the race card around is akin to that one kid at school who used to call all the other lads "gay" because he was hiding supressed feelings.

Believing that white people are superior and privileged compared to other races is the definition of racism mate its scary that some throw it around casually and not see the awful message behind it.

I have no part to play in culture wars/politics I transcend basic left/right trench warfare.

I support the left welfare state but also the right capitalism

I support the left rehabilitation but also the right capital punishment

I support the right restrictions on immigration but also preach the left benefits of immigration on society/the economy.

Therefore how can I be part of a culture war when I agree with aspects of both the left and right ?

If you look at the current affairs forum as a whole I'm actually one of the most receptive of contributers. Whereas the bulk of the left on here do little but gang up on those who dont tow the party line, throw around insults and libel, middle finger posts and straight up refuse to listen to anything that their echo chamber tells them isn't "liberal thinking".

I dont vote in elections I literally have no part in this society that ya'll have created and persistently complain about.

I graft, tend to the family, do a bit of charity, train and meditate. I have no desire to partake in a war between 2 camps of blinkered sheep mate.

literally not even the first sentence was over before the whoppers appeared

Yeah man I was being saracastic I agree with yer completely ?

A lot of the lads on here need to leave their comfort zone/echo chamber every now and again they may learn a thang or two.

I disagree with @emir on firearm laws but agree completely with him on circumcision and thats ok.

What if he wanted to use a gun to shoot his banjo off? ?

Isn't it: the unfair treatment of people who belong to a different race; violent behaviour towards them?

The BLM point also ignores the point that unarmed people of colour in America are eight times more likely to be killed by the police than a white citizen.

Hispanics are less likely, but more likely than whites. As long as that trend of inequality continues, BLM has a pretty big argument for continuing their protests.

Hitler and Himmler big fans too.

Maybe, they were misunderstood, forward thinking, centrists too ?

Theirs was a cultish obsession with Norse and Germanic mythology, manifesting in the Thule society which lead to Nazism.
Hitler sent archaeologists all over to find legendary artefacts to give them power.
There's a brilliant book about one of them called Lucifer's Court, about Otto Rehn, later killed by the SS, and his journey to find the emerald from Lucifer's crown. It's a travelogue.
Go figure.

When is a centrist not a centrist?

When is a centrist not a centrist?

When they're not allowed within 100m of a playground.

Black Lives either matter or they dont mate. You cant pick and choose which lives being murdered deserve statues and protests for and which dont.

I wont go off topic any further but those protesters are shills and jumped on a bandwagon in no different a way than the ones in the video on this very thread that ya'll vilvfying for causing criminal damage, attacking police officers etc.

Sometimes you can just admit you're wrong mate.

As @spectateur mentioned you dont always need to make me an enemy out of some principle that doesn't exist.

@ForeverBlue92 can you admit you were wrong to say @bicycleheader pays for sex please?

You need to have a refresh of what BLM are protesting if you have concluded this is what they think.

So the monuments to fallen soldiers are wrong? Or should that be ya'llen soldiers?
Anyway, BLM was/is necessary because people of colour were/are treated as second class citizens. That's it. No more. Just parity. Not do the whitey down, not they .ean more than others. They way you use it is to measure it against 'white' right wing protesters to gain legitimacy in 'equality' when one side, BLM, are protecting their own lives and the others want to denigrate and deride them.
To then filter this in to an immigration debate is disingenuous and a time servedtechnique of right wing indoctrination.
It's saddening in 2023 that this thinking has any traction at all.
