The Nazi's weren't socialists in exactly the same way the Democratics Peoples Republic of Korea is democratic. Hitler was a far right candidate and the poster boy for the far right yet for some reason the right want to portray him as a left wing candidate for the name of his party. Learn something about bloody left wing vs right wing before actually bringing this **** up.
Seriously people are going bynwhat people label themselves. You'd consider yourself a centrist but your anything but jyst like Corbyn tried to announce himself as one today.
Anyway your doing whataboutary again and taking a large problem (far right people killing people) and conflating to a much smaller problem (far leftpeople saying mean things).
Do you know the actual problem why both sides dont talk because both side want to play the victim card and say the other says means things. Rather than actually engage. Sadly the far right has a lot more to answer for on the violence front that the far left. Not that I support either side.
Dearie me, are you always this angry? I doubt that one post has gone by without you using ****'s.
I actually consider myself non-aligned - personally I think that politics and politicians have failed, and as there is no debate/discussion allowed anymore (seemingly from the likes of you) then nothing will change. You seem to be so angry that I dare challenge the Left - you know the supposed moral high ground, where all the nice and wonderful people are - and show that some of them are falling short of their moral targets.
Of course I am well aware of the issues on the right, and yes of course one should call out their bad behaviour and demand action be taken against them. However, when you refuse to admit that there are idiots on the left - including racists and anti-Semites - then quite frankly your argument begins to lose merit.
'But, but we're nice people - it's the right who are racists... look at the Nazis causing trouble'
Point taken, now will you call out Antifa for their thuggish behaviour? Or will you let them have a free pass because they mean well, despite the fact that they have caused violence and suffering to people - and those people were probably racist in your eyes anyway? What about police men and women killed by BLM supporters? I am mixed-race, but do not support these thugs at all and IMO they have divided communities rather than bringing them together (though yes I do believe that some police men and women in the USA do have racial issues).
Maybe I expect less from the Right, because after all we are told by our learned experts (at least I think a few of them have cobbled together Liberal Studies HND's) that they are the party of the racists, bigoted and hateful. Why would I expect them to be nice, when we are told that the Left is the complete antithesis of these people? I expect nothing from racists and bigots, but I do expect a certain standard of good behaviour from supposedly nice and fair people. When they fall short of these expectations, that to me is more disappointing. I can accept that a racist will act like a moron, I certainly don't (or shouldn't) expect a 'look at me I'm so nice' liberal/Lefty to be one.
'Oh but we're only human' - in that case, try harder. You've got to be better than the other team, and that includes basic manners and common decency. More flies are caught with honey than vinegar, and if you manage to change somebody's mind through being nice and understanding then you've won that battle. You don't allow the other side room for excuses (rightly so), so you should get no free passes/privileges without working for them.
Where I do agree is that there should be no victim card mentality at all, and we need a level playing field for debate and discussion - maybe even compromise. Large problem or small problem,
all problems need to be sorted if we're going to have a decent world to live in. The talking has to begin soon and the madness has to stop.
Anyway, I'm obviously Whatabouting, and rather than actually tackle what I am saying you'll just come out with the same old response and nothing will change. The Left won't change and ultimately will be Left behind come the next time we go to the Ballot Box, as that is where people do their talking these days.
R - the Left should be better than the Right and be above reproach. I am personally disappointed that it is not.
