Actually, the fact that identity politics only suddenly got a massive focus from the MSM when the Occupy Wall St protests were started should tell you all you need to know about the motives behind it all.

This is pretty funny though and caught a lot of people out. It's a West End play, not a movie, so if you're not prepared to fly to London and spend $500 for a ticket, it's fine to let this one go through to the keeper... Also, I believe it's a modern day adaption and not the original story.

True. I just recall left being typically anti-authoritarian when growing up, whilst the right tended to align with the establishment. Seems to be more the other way around currently, although I guess that's somewhat indicative of who's in power. Most moderate people are sick of both sides mostly

I don't disagree with them being right-wing. I think COVID probably highlighted this. Most left-leaning(with a few notable exceptions from certain areas around Byron Bay...) were happy to follow the government health advice, whilst were very much against it due to 'freedoms' and 'rights'...

Isn't it amusing how the left, who were anti-establishment in the past, tend to be more pro-establishment than the right these days? Tables have flipped due to whichever group has the bigger voting power, so pollies pander to them wherever they can.

They should, they're right-wing extremists. Wouldn't be very PC to announce it publicly though.

Which you apparently don't want to post in because it doesn't suit your narrative.

It'd be greatly helpful if they were a little more specific on how far right extremism is defined. Are they talking KKK, Proud Boys or Islamic extremism here?

Because you are misguided.

Well, I won't deny they're extremely good at 'persuading' to get their message across in a positive light.

Why are you so concerned over right-wing ideology when extremism from either side poses a problem? If you can address that, then you can kill 2 birds with one stone(or feed 2 birds with one scone, depending on your political leaning...). If you're only concerned with right-wing ideology and...

Yes and no. Plenty of liberal news outlets out there also. Russian troll farms don't help things though. The entertainment industry, Hollywood in particular, has gone far too far the other way, to the point that even Bob Iger from Disney admitted they are trying to push the 'message' too much...

Well, here's one particular story: https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-germany-jewish-funds-help-keep-mediterranean-migrant-rescue-missions-afloat/ This is just last year along - Migrant arrivals in Italy have more than tripled from last year. Why? Just under 27k illegals arriving on Italy's...

I'd say that most people start of idealistic and believe the world to be a fantastic place, where people are fair to each other and want to live harmoniously, etc, if not for big government and, greedy corporations, etc(which does of course have an element of truth to it. When you're older, you...

Genuine question - Why do you believe this happens?

Luckily it turns out it was behind glass. Oh which, I've since been enlightened, there's already a thread for. So why does this one exist instead of being merged into the other, older thread?

Who are nobodies on the internet to judge what's a good idea or not? It's entirely fine to have a discussion around those things, it's another to be repeatedly called a bigot/racist/etc, simply because you question the rationale behind letting in undocumented migrants to a country en masse.

No, it's a pile-on against posters who question the narrative by the majority of posters on here. It's almost reached echo-chamber status.

The SRP is a literal safe-space for certain posters. Your comment proves my point.

So why didn't Grin post this topic in there instead of wanting a circle-jerk in here? That thread's older, so this one should've been merged, unless OP is disingenuous and simply wants to push a side?

Apparently if you ask a loaded question and get easily refuted it means you either can't follow the thread premise(despite said people defending the thread topic using insane whataboutism) or need to start your own thread, where they come in and refute your thread premise instead of attempting...

Cool, so shall I start a thread named "Why do low IQ, idiotic morons gravitate to the far-left?" then? Because I'm sure that'll either get deleted, or be flooded by teary posters stating that it's the far-right that's the problem.

Germaine Greer ended up hating men. It's got nothing to do with sexual liberation, which is an entirely noble cause.

Do you think throwing soup on the Mona Lisa, or supergluing your hands to the road and blocking emergency vehicles requires intelligence and critical thinking?

I wasn't necessarily referencing Muslim extremists in that posts, more a general observation of how slavery was shit and affected every civilisation world wide at some point.

That incident was shocking but pales in comparison to injustices perpetuated in Africa currently on a daily basis. People focus on things like this in White society because they're held to a far higher standard than PoC, which in itself is a form of racism against both whites and PoC. FYI I am...

The discussion is if conservative ideology attracts less intelligent people, which I've countered with extreme ideology in general does. I didn't invite discussing the merits of genocide vs climate change.

Are they? With the amount of anti-Jew rhetoric flooding social media sites on the internet, I'd be under the impression that most extreme right would be conflicted. On the one hand, you have thousands of Muslims dying. On the other, it's benefitting the Jews. Many would be having an...

I'd suggest the rise of social media has made this far more prevalent, because you're only interacting with someone's written words on the internet and not actually having a genuine conversation. Far easier to rant to faceless avatars on the internet than have a measured debate with a person in...
