🌎🌏 The Fall of Western Hegemony and the Transition to a Multipolar World

The Sotonians position on..

Where do you get I refer to you? I rarely do, I was referring to Schlong not you.
I try not to converse with you and its amazing you haven’t taken the hint.

85

You were replying to my post you dick and don’t try to deny otherwise. Typical Barry trying to swerve taking responsibility for embarrassing himself yet again.

“ I try not to converse with you and its amazing you haven’t taken the hint.”

Again, stop trying to make out you do something that you patently don’t do and try to make it a virtue.

You’re the online equivalent of a sad and silly excuse of a little man yapping bollocks with a staggering lack of self-awareness.

86

You really should stop this nonsense whereby anyone disagreeing with your opinion ‘hates the West’. It’s ridiculous, and to quote you, ‘childish and laughable’, not to say downright insulting. Just stop it.

Schlong hasn’t even replied to the questions I posed to him weeks ago concerning Rashism and his support for Putin and his apparent happiness at the demise of Ukraine.
Schlong from his posts does appear to hate the west, I’m more than happy for him to explain his position and if incorrect for myself to apologise, in fact I’d welcome it.

This sounds perfectly fair to me.

Let’s turn this on its head.

What about the West do you love?

89

The right to decide, the right to go anywhere, the right to live anywhere, the right to marry who I want, the right for that to be recognised, the right to protest and many many more.

90

The right decide only if you choose the right answer from the limited range of answers.

Right to go anywhere? US citizens haven’t been able to travel to Cuba directly for over half a century and ask not to have their passports stamped. Closer to home, certain parts of the country are legally barred from having protests take place

Right to live anywhere? That’s not a right. It’s a question of attaining the money in a system which is hell-bent on not passing much of it down. You’re saying this in a context where people literally have nowhere to live, while others are in massively overcrowded accommodation, being kept there by the very landlords that are restricting supply.

Tell those people they can live anywhere.

I didn’t know you were planning on marrying someone of the same sex, but I’m glad that you and others can do that, but let’s not forget that these are new rules and plenty of gay people have been denied access of pensions etc in the past.

Have another go.

91

Its the best of a bad bunch (why by huge numbers do people defect from other regimes to get to the west?), simple as that, you answers if they’re that are better than what you seem to want to advance, anyway less whataboutery and turning it around and concentrate on the matters at hand.

92

Understanding this would probably unfathom a lot.

Thanks for asking the question.

You can call the government and the leader a bunch of cunts repeatedly and publicly without being arrested and jailed. - This website alone would be enough to send a few of us away for several years in some countries - @pap’s family would be sent the bill for the bullet

Let’s not pretend you can’t be un-personed in the West.

We just don’t bother locking them up.

but have a little more latitude here

96

Depends on the subject.

Let’s not pretend for a moment we are “free”.

97

Maybe you should live in Hong Kong and call Carrie Lam and Co a cunt in public and see how that turns out

We are free - freer if you prefer - but none the less, your average Joe has more freedoms here than in a pretty hefty chunk of the RoW

98

Yeah, but you have to go to Hong Kong to justify our shit show.

If I’ve never been to Hong Kong, how does their shit situation make my situation any less shit?

My overall point is that if you say what you’re not allowed to say, anywhere in the world, publicly, you’ll get fucked up.

The means might differ. The end, silencing you, is the same.

I bet you’d find most people the world over would say much the same thing about their own country. Like we all tend to believe that the NHS is the world’s best health system and the BBC is impartial.
