⦠there have been some posts on the last few weeks that have been, and that is what Fatso and I were referring to. Either we encourage posters to call it out, our our silence suggests we are comfortable with it⦠we do have a choice, but itās a different one
Jesus Christ. Using Dominic Raab to bolster your point just shows how weak the point is.
Quote them then. Confront those posts.
Do not waste everybodyās time with wholesale accusations.
Just know that I am unmoved by any threat of anyone moving.
Well for me it stops when there is no longer a need for it or a new form of protest that keeps it on top the agenda is introduced⦠it will only achieve its aims if it continues and grows like The Abolitionists, the suffragettes etc, they kept going despite the ridicule⦠the movement is directly attacking the attitude that we should give up on it because it has little impact and just go back to normalā¦
I did.
Like father like son. Your views have become more and more right wing and unpleasant over time. Youāve gone from weird conspiracy twat to someone who has a problem with immigrants, transgender, Jews etc etc. You havenāt got a clue. You have set the tone for this board and opened the doorway to some unpleasant views. Your dad spouted racist nonsense before you and youāre happy to continue that with added levels of bigotry. You canāt even keep your own friends on the site, intniki being the prime example - you could see her getting more frustrated by the abhorrent views being expressed on here.
Keep noting all of those who have left the site pap, the list gets longer and longer.
Hopefully Iāll never gave the misfortune of having to interact with you again.
Haha, do you realise how that makes you sound?
As I said, I am unmoved by the thought of anyone moving. Please let me know when youāve gone so I can tally you up with all the rest.
Nice to finish on a libel, eh?
Have you fucked off yet?
So, anyone you disagree with politically automatically holds invalid views on everything then?
Yes - Iāve asked Bletch to erase my account and data. If youāre capable you can do it.
Itās nothing to do with his politics, itās to do with the fact that the guy is fucking stupid. He thought takinga knee came from Game of Thrones FFS.
Jolly good. The old man can come back when youāre gone.
Heāll fit in nicely with the rest of the cunts
Enjoy Flakeweb, or wherever you end up next.
No he didnāt. He said that he thought it may have come from game of thrones but wasnāt sure. I was replying to MOT who said he couldnāt understand why anyone would view the gesture of kneeling as one of subjugation, which happens to be the way I interpret it.
Forgive me if I donāt put a great deal of stock into the opinion of a guy who couldnāt even be bothered to google āwhere does taking a knee come fromā before deciding it would be good to float a theory about GoT in the national media.
Iām just saying that heās probably not the best person to turn to when defending the position that taking a knee āseems likeā a form of subjugation.
Keep telling folks to just fuck off from your sand pit and yourāll be left playing with yourselfā¦
It was plainly an off the cuff remark as opposed to a prepared response to a political question. I donāt know anything about game of thrones either, presumably that makes me an idiot as well.
And here is the real problem.
Footballers take a knee, show solidarity for BLM.
BUT where is it actually going? Sure awareness has been made but so what?
From my FB feed it seems to be polarising opinion, not uniting it.
Trump has turned it into a left v right battle so half my yank friends post White Lives matters. Today a surge of Police Lives Matter posts.
In UK Twitter it seems to be pandering to the little englander/Brexit factions.
It seems to be stagnating and adding to the strength of minority opinion.
Taking a knee was poignant, but doing it all season? Fine IF we can see clear progress.
It is not the fault of the players or their views the CAUSE has to become Political to create & legislate for real change. But has it been hijacked? Where is it really going? Are the minor victories being hidden?
How long until anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, anti-BLM drown the true narrative?
Iām not feeling it. That doesnāt make me a racist, it makes me concerned that Karen from Facebook is winning
So itās ok politicians of his āstatureā to make off the cuff remarks about something so globally sensitive as opposed to use solid research⦠? Well suppose āexpertsā no longer needed as we have all had enough of them⦠no wonder this country has gone to shitā¦
