Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

[HVC]

Sorry didn't see B had got there first

Reiteration is good for people's self reflection


*edit* or not

[Grey Fox]

Not everyone.

Just you.

Again evidently not. Its a well established cliche that gets thrown about all the time.

In josq's world all right is far right

Yeah, you guys keep saying that despite it being demonstrably false.

when everyone says it you might want to reconsider your view

It's such a lame right wing cliche. You just say everyone who calls someone far right, far right, actually thinks anyone right of them is far right


In that case it was just a mistype considering the topic.

Dude, you thought I was a Trump supporter.

Based on your views on Palestine youre indistinguishable.

  Religious people are right wing. The fact that the left defends them is one more proof that the Overton window moved exponentially.

No, just you

Nope. Very common as a cope/smoke screen from those sympathetic to the far right to insist anyone daring to call a horse a horse is just so far left they call everyone far right.

It clearly isn't true for me or indeed most people the smear is used against.

I tend to find people who are incredibly self righteous and always seems to have an answer to everything (or at least 99%) and are incredibly sure of themselves, usually end up being an extremist. It would be a good exercise for these types to have a least a bit of self-reflection (in a kind of 'Mitchell & Webb - are we the baddies?' way) sometimes.

Damn. Should cancel my membership of the Labour party

I think now in 2024 religious people are more predominantly right wing, but that is certainly not an absolute.

Please remember that motions from abolition of slavery, to women's suffrage, to civil rights - all saw large numbers of religious people support them.  Heck - do I have to remind you that MLK Jr was a Reverend?

Even today - there still exist left-wing churches that support a variety of environmental or other progressive agendas.

And since Palestine was brought up as a progressive cause - Hamas is a pretty explicitly religious organization.

And Pope Francis is hardly an icon of the global right.

My views are the same as most liberals.  Interestingly, I saw an interview that a lot of Arabs were boycotting Biden in Michigan.  They said they were going to vote for Trump in November.  They didn't want to support "Genocide Joe".

and very unpopular in the states

How's the opinion of euro catholics?

Trump throwing Israel under the bus would not surprise me. The Republicans letting him go through with it would be a different matter.

He made them love Russia, so anything is possible.

[Razgovory]

Trump thinks that Netanyahu betrayed him and that Jews are not loyal.

How do distinguish between the far right and the center right?

Assuming you mean liberal in the American sense of anyone left of centre here.
No. Your views really aren't aligned with most. Most don't have blinkers on that Israel can do no wrong - Biden for instance.

. You're sympathetic to the far right?
OK. Good to know?
I didn't think anyone would actually see those articles and go "yes those guys are right!"

[Razgovory]

I never said Israel can do no wrong.
