    I have a friend who is exactly the same as you - He attacks any kind of empathic behaviour as "lefty crap" and considers his racist and sexist

    Here's the thing - on the far right there are racists and bigots who

    Bit of an off topic rant ahead, feel free ignore. But feel the need to
    vent and this is about the only place I can let fly, without getting
    banned, arrested or upsetting fuck knows how many snowflakes.

    Well 2020 has fucking sucked. I decided at the start of the year to try
    and do soemthing about the awful rut I was stuck in. I also decided to
    try and brush up on my social skills and try and be less introverted.

    Then covid hit, plague laws were introduced and found myself stuck at
    home with nothing to do. On the few brief occaisions when restrictions
    were relaxed slightly, I was still unable to do what I wanted, as most
    places you had to book to go in (yes, even some pubs) and you couldn't
    just go up and talk to other people, due to social distancing requirements.

    To say I have never felt so utterly demoralised in my entire life would
    be an understatement.

    Then, after some fucking criminal got killed in police custody, the
    world erupted in race riots and I found that by merely pointing out that looting stores, burning buildings and destroying neighbourhoods was
    perhaps not the best way in getting your point accross if you wished to demonstrate about something, meant you must be a white supremecist.

    I also discovered, that provided you were on the left side of the
    political spectrum, you could burn buildings, steal, attack police with
    rocks and try to destroy govt buildings and even war memorials and
    behave in whatever laweless manner you liked and the press would refer
    to you as a "peaceful protester" and would skip over most of your bad
    behaviour whilst prosecutors, for the most part, would simply refuse to
    press charges.

    Hell you can even take over entire city blocks, cut off roads, extort buisniesses within and have armed patrols shooting people and the media
    and prosecutors will look the other way.

    Whereas, anyone not on the far left couldn't evebn so much as take a
    leak behind a bush without being branded a far right, nazi extremist.

    Defend yourself against rioters, YOU get arrested, whilst the people
    smashing up buildings and seeking to do harm are canonised.

    I've also discovered that defending peoples right to free speech and
    advocating that saying mean things on the internet should not
    necessarily result in them getting arrested means that I must be some
    horrid rascist and misogynist who approves of people being nasty to one another.

    I'm not holding out much hope for 2021 being much better, but we'll see
    on that front. I'd be happier if I could just go down the pub like I
    used to.

    Agreed.

    However, I would not call what happened to George Floyd an "execution".
    I was as shocked as everyone else when I saw the footage of that cop
    kneeling on his neck.

    However, no evidence this was racially motivated, and in any case, that
    does not excuse breaking into stores and looting televisions, nor any of
    the other crimes of these "peaceful protestors" that have been largely ignored by the media.

    A protest implies that people aren't happy. Unfortunately, it is human
    nature for frustration to boil over and for people to lash out. People
    smash their TVs when their sports team loses. People smash their consoles
    when they lose a computer game. It is inevitable people will resort to
    this. Virtually every protest ends this way. Especially when you know
    that for any demonstration there will be trouble makers who are there for
    their own gain. As I said in my previous post - don't select the extreme
    as representative of the majority.

    We really are living in Orwellian times, the double-think that goes on
    with these people is unbelievable.

    We're all just as bad as we're victims to our own confirmation bias. The
    media stir up trouble by reporting things in whichever way their owner's politics sway, governments are trying to pander to the side with the
    loudest voice (or the most money) and the rest of us are left dodging the
    flak as we try to find some neutral ground between two warring sides of fuckwits.

    I would also add that a cursory glance at George Floyd's criminal record
    should leave no one in any doubt this guy was a piece of shit.

    Of course, that does not mean he deserved to be killed at the hands of
    an over zealous cop. But is this really a person who should be held up
    as a martyr?

    The cop responsible for his death needs to be dealt with by the justice
    system, but to use this incident as an excuse to justify anarchy? No way
    and I'm pretty appalled at how this has been covered by the media in
    general.

    In any case, why were people in this country protesting and attacking
    cops over something that happened in America? But pointing this out, or
    the fact that we're in the middle of a global pandemic and shouldn't be
    going out in mass gatherings apparently makes you the next Hitler, or
    Grand Wizzard.


    The irony of someone who posts a massively racist Christmas "joke" every
    year then complaining about being called racist.


    If people wish to take me to task over my exceptionally warped sense of
    humour, then fine.

    But defending someone else's right to say things that I may not agree
    with, without interference from the state, hardly qualifies as "fascism"
    last time I checked.

    Indeed, it was once considered to be a very left wing position. But no
    longer it seems.

    I have a friend who is exactly the same as you - He attacks any kind of empathic behaviour as "lefty crap" and considers his racist and sexist comments as "just a joke".

    I do not attack all empathic behaviour as "lefty crap", I simply don't
    believe saying things that others disagree with, or find offensive,
    should necessarily be reason enough to have someone arrested, fired, or
    tracked down or beaten up.

    I just find it beggars belief that these so called "empathic lefties",
    who think they're morally superior by calling out what they perceive as
    "mean behaviour" are perfectly fine with looting, rioting, arson etc
    when it's THEIR side doing it (until the bricks come through their
    windows of course).

    These fuckers are the worst bunch of hypocrites going.


    Here's the thing - on the far right there are racists and bigots who
    think it's fine to be racist and sexist and yet are the first to complain when they perceive they are being marginalised or targeted. On the far
    left there are idiots who think that eating Chinese food is "cultural appropriation" and whine that the next James Bond isn't a disabled black lesbian. We all need to occupy the middle ground and not strawman the opposition by picking the most extreme example and presenting it as "the
    way they all think".


    I have no love for the far right, any more than the far left. But I
    don't see the far right taking over entire city blocks, burning, looting
    and in some cases, even murdering people and the press referring to them
    as "peaceful protestors".

    We really are living in Orwellian times, the double-think that goes on
    with these people is unbelievable.

    and ive forgotten to take my tablets these last few days, which is
    probably why im so irritable and down about everything

    For me 2020 wasn't as bad as any year prior to 2014. Except for not getting to cross Rose Tattoo off my bucket list.

    I went 7 months without leaving my neighborhood, however the Armenian protests came right to the closest major intersection. I went and checked it out.

    When I see people stealing TVs from stores, setting buildings on fire
    and attacking police and the press reffering to this as a "mostly
    peaceful protest" I think most people would question what on earth these journalists have been smoking.

    Similarly, when a group of far-left activists can take over a 6 block
    area of Seattle, turn it into something that resembles a scene from
    "Escape from New York", with the full blessing of the local government,
    and is portrayed by the media as some sort of "hippy commune", something
    isn't right. It was only after a couple of kids got shot and killed the
    council pulled the plug and finally sent the cops in to maintain order.


    You mean the double standards of the lack of police brutality and tear
    gas that was absent from the Capitol protest?


    BLM and antifa seem to like burning things down and looting and
    destroying everything, which is why they get tear gassed.

    Try familairising yourself with the nightly riots going on in Portland
    Oregon since last March, where Antifa and BLM supporters have repeatedly
    been trying to set fire and destroy police stations and courthouses and
    the district attorney refuses to prosecute anhyone arrested?

    No outrage from anywhere.

    Compare that to the idiocy of those Trump supporters who foirced their
    way into the capitol the other week, who broke a few windows made a bit
    of a mess and posed for a bunch of stupid selfies. Suddenly everyone
    loses their mind.



    "Anarcho communists"? Are you a Fox News presenter?


    Nope, never watch it.


    As opposed to anyone not on board with the far right getting called an anarcho communist?


    By whom?

    You are incapable of differentiating between those people who protest and those who riot. You're just using a strawman argument. And I certainly didn't hear Fox News calling people "peaceful protesters" - which is another example of your confirmation bias.

    When I see people stealing TVs from stores, setting buildings on fire
    and attacking police and the press reffering to this as a "mostly
    peaceful protest" I think most people would question what on earth these journalists have been smoking.

    Similarly, when a group of far-left activists can take over a 6 block
    area of Seattle, turn it into something that resembles a scene from
    "Escape from New York", with the full blessing of the local government,
    and is portrayed by the media as some sort of "hippy commune", something isn't right. It was only after a couple of kids got shot and killed the council pulled the plug and finally sent the cops in to maintain order.

    You mean the double standards of the lack of police brutality and tear
    gas that was absent from the Capitol protest?

    BLM and antifa seem to like burning things down and looting and
    destroying everything, which is why they get tear gassed.

    Try familairising yourself with the nightly riots going on in Portland
    Oregon since last March, where Antifa and BLM supporters have repeatedly
    been trying to set fire and destroy police stations and courthouses and
    the district attorney refuses to prosecute anhyone arrested?

    No outrage from anywhere.

    Compare that to the idiocy of those Trump supporters who foirced their
    way into the capitol the other week, who broke a few windows made a bit
    of a mess and posed for a bunch of stupid selfies. Suddenly everyone
    loses their mind.

    "Anarcho communists"? Are you a Fox News presenter?

    Nope, never watch it.

    As opposed to anyone not on board with the far right getting called an anarcho communist?

    By whom?

    Once again with the strawman. There were fewer people looting and
    commiting arson than there were people peacefully protesting, but that
    doesn't make the news.

    BLM and antifa seem to like burning things down and looting and
    destroying everything, which is why they get tear gassed.

    Strawman again.

    Try familairising yourself

    Oh, the irony. Try looking at both sides rather than selecting the stories/images that support the way you already think and ignoring
    anything contradictory.

    where Antifa and BLM supporters have repeatedly
    been trying to set fire and destroy police stations

    Keep in mind the whole thing started by the Police murdering people (let
    me guess - they deserved it) and then being heavy handed with the crowd
    and thus escalating the violence.

    Why don't you watch this and then you can give your gammon comment about
    "well, they shouldn't have been there then!":

    Look out Dennis here comes a scientist. Oh no, they're saying CO2 emissions are

    OK, clearly you've not read anything I've put and just want to make

    Regardless of whether someone has committed a crime, you still can't have

    Agreed.

    However, I would not call what happened to George Floyd an "execution". I
    was as shocked as everyone else when I saw the footage of that cop kneeling on his neck.

    However, no evidence this was racially motivated, and in any case, that
    does not excuse breaking into stores and looting televisions, nor any of
    the other crimes of these "peaceful protestors" that have been largely ignored by the media.

    I would also add that a cursory glance at George Floyd's criminal record should leave no one in any doubt this guy was a piece of shit.

    Of course, that does not mean he deserved to be killed at the hands of an over zealous cop. But is this really a person who should be held up as a martyr?

    The cop responsible for his death needs to be dealt with by the justice system, but to use this incident as an excuse to justify anarchy? No way
    and I'm pretty appalled at how this has been covered by the media in general.

    In any case, why were people in this country protesting and attacking
    cops over something that happened in America? But pointing this out, or
    the fact that we're in the middle of a global pandemic and shouldn't be
    going out in mass gatherings apparently makes you the next Hitler, or Grand Wizzard.


    The irony of someone who posts a massively racist Christmas "joke" every
    year then complaining about being called racist.

    If people wish to take me to task over my exceptionally warped sense of humour, then fine.

    But defending someone else's right to say things that I may not agree
    with, without interference from the state, hardly qualifies as "fascism"
    last time I checked.

    Indeed, it was once considered to be a very left wing position. But no longer it seems.

    I have a friend who is exactly the same as you - He attacks any kind of
    empathic behaviour as "lefty crap" and considers his racist and sexist
    comments as "just a joke".

    I do not attack all empathic behaviour as "lefty crap", I simply don't believe saying things that others disagree with, or find offensive,
    should necessarily be reason enough to have someone arrested, fired, or tracked down or beaten up.

    I just find it beggars belief that these so called "empathic lefties",
    who think they're morally superior by calling out what they perceive as
    "mean behaviour" are perfectly fine with looting, rioting, arson etc when it's THEIR side doing it (until the bricks come through their windows of course).

    These fuckers are the worst bunch of hypocrites going.

    Here's the thing - on the far right there are racists and bigots who
    think it's fine to be racist and sexist and yet are the first to complain
    when they perceive they are being marginalised or targeted. On the far
    left there are idiots who think that eating Chinese food is "cultural
    appropriation" and whine that the next James Bond isn't a disabled black
    lesbian. We all need to occupy the middle ground and not strawman the
    opposition by picking the most extreme example and presenting it as "the
    way they all think".

    I have no love for the far right, any more than the far left. But I don't
    see the far right taking over entire city blocks, burning, looting and in some cases, even murdering people

    *Looks at news footage from last week*

    You were saying.......?

    Have to admit I missed the bit when communists took over Seattle and turned
    it into Mogadishu. Sydney Morning Herald must have censored that.

    I would say why don't you post some links to what happened and also some examples
    of lefty media saying that burning cars is a legitimate method of protest so we can see
    for ourselves, but in all honesty I won't be clicking on them. Not sure my pinko passions
    run as deeply as your tory ones do. I mainly limit my doom-scrolling to today's numbers of
    Covid cases and has Rudy Giuliani done any comedy today.

    Are all the right-wingers still complaining that it's no longer cool to scream "FAGGOT! NIGGER!" at random folks?
    Are they all still complaining that they can't go out to the bars/clubs every night to see a different music-act while surrounded by people?

    As harsh as 2020 was, it wasn't a goddamn thing. I've been "sheltering-in-place" for over a decade & the one thing I've learned is the very ones calling everyone else "Pussies"/"Goddamn snowflakes" have been the ones whining & kvetching the loudest about
    keeping their asses at home. Awwww, they don't get to scream slurs in public anymore whilst drunk... WAAAHHHH

    Strap your fucking wading-boots boots on because here comes 2021. We're not even at 1 million dead from this plague yet - you haven't seen a goddamn thing.
