    That's half the problem right there - this attitude is aligned with masculinity.  It's old fashioned, it's British stiff upper lip and is viewed as problematic.

     

    Victimhood is promoted and celebrated nowadays and social media, the press, advertisers and governments all go along with it.

     

    Baffling.

    Victims are cultivated because victims need protection. The State as mother and father provides that protection. The climate of fear drives the victim into its arms.

    Happy to help in any way I can.

    Any institution that gives too many people a shared sense of value, identity and belonging and is contrary to the developing and prevailing dominant leftist ideological paradigm will be relentlessly attacked. Whether that Is religious, sporting or a cultural. That is the way Woke ideology functions. 
     

    This IS the reality. I really don’t need your help.

    One wonders if @Charloch ignores it too.

    If you think those that those who hate Rangers, the history and the political tradition it represents, will take any cognisance if a woman’s team or the diversity hoc the squad, you are incredibly naive. This will be dismissed as mere window dressing. Just as Everyone, Anyone has been. This is a serious wake up call. They will yet destroy the club, given the opportunity.

    Isn`t there something like Ofcom checking out the journalists too?

     

    BTW, they were pushing for "strict liability" with regards to songs et al before Covid-19 struck, even toned it down a bit when the Scum`s hordes were overdoing it themselves. I have no doubt whatsoever that had there been fans in the ground, they would have pushed that agenda again throughout the season, not least in the current climate.

    The institutional corruption in Scotland is systemic. It’s like a hive mind.

    I have written to the editor of the Edinburgh Evening News about the Helen Martin article.  It is the most astonishing article I've ever read.  Looks like it has been written by a child and politically very naïve but the vile content is quite breathtaking.

     

    Hatred of fake Rangers fans must be curbed - Helen Martin | Edinburgh News (scotsman.com)

    That, at least, raised a laugh.

    And to think an Editor allowed that to be published - astonishing.

     

    Good on you for writing to them, I might do the same.

    It’s naked “othering”, the dehumanising and delegitimising of those you hate. It’s what leftist nationalists do. Even the “civic” ones. It always ends in the gulags, concentration camps or gas chambers, if left unchecked. It is increasingly unchecked in Scotland. 

  7. This is classic leftism. Obtain video or audio footage. Doctor it. Use fraudulent material to establish a false narrative. Mobilise the political response. Mobilise the media response. Mobilise the law enforcement response. This can only work where all the necessary institutions have been ideologically captured. Rangers have to go in HARD on this and expose it. Platitudes and politicking will achieve nothing.  That’s if we can even trust the judicial system. This has played out out many time in the US in recent years. Mainly against Trump and and those who associated with him. It’s boilerplate left wing tactics to discredit political opponents. That’s what Rangers are. Political opposition who must be destroyed. White, Male, Protestant. We have to be taken down. 

  8. If Liverpool join the proposed Super League but this results in a boycott by the overwhelming majority of Liverpool fans how would this affect Steven Gerrard’s desire to manage the club? It seems to have the potential to set up a tremendous conflict.

    Where did I suggest that?

     

    If you're perfect in your behaviour, well done, you're some guy!  I know I've not been and am always looking for ways to educate myself. I'd imagine that's the case for most but there's always a few people who find themselves above that kind of honesty and self-examination.  And that's today's paradox.

     

     

    I’m far from perfect. I’m maybe  just overly sensitive to language exhorting such improvement these days (especially in white male contexts) as it tends to emerge out of the CRT paradigm. I well understand my own heart and the darkness within it. Again, apologies. I was seeking clarification. My misreading. .

    FWIW, it's very easy to like this statement on here and think no more about it.

     

    Instead, think about your own behaviour. Think about your own mistakes. Think about how you can improve. Think about how you can help others. Condemn & educate: ignorance is not an excuse.

    Are we all racists now? I only ask because this sounds like Critical Race Theory speaking. If I’ve got this wrong, apologies.

    Expect a list of punishments for breaching Covid protocal to be released by SPFL / SFA that will commence on a given date, but will NOT be acted on retrospectively. 

     

    Abderdeen and Celtic will get off Scot free, Aberdeen only because of Celtics indiscretions. 

    That can’t fly. The same rules would have to apply to every game of a season, especially if some member clubs had already breached said regulations.  Otherwise the competition would necessarily be completely vitiated.

    Does this include your public gesture of contacting the S.L.O. ?

     

    I imagine that many would interpret that in a most uncharitable way.

    Fine by me. I stand by the email. Rangers have thrown female supporters under the bus chasing woke points. You cannot promote trans rights without vitiating women’s sex-based rights. Indeed, without vitiating woman as an ontological category. Let’s just call female Rangers fans womxn and be done with it. The leftists will just LOVE it.

    This situation is likely to run for some time so the question I would like to put is:- would it have arisen if a black policeman had partaken of the kneel or a black person had shot the "escapee" in the back?.

    Generally the left are pretty indifferent to black-on-black murder and violence. Indeed, they seem to encourage it.

    Probably a good rule, but clearly, it's a broader problem than the simple examples I gave. Some people are desperate to project meanings onto other people's comments or gestures, when it's obvious (or ought to be) that it wasn't their intention.

     

    Goldson takes a knee as a show of support for a campaign against racism. He clearly states what his intentions are. And yet he's still given a hard time for supporting anti-white racism or anti-capitalist revolutionaries. The meaning of his gesture is the meaning he attached to it.

    The thing about public gestures is that other people have an equal right to contextualise such gestures according to their own understanding and interpretation. You can’t make a public political statement and be surprised that others interpret such gestures within their own political framework. If you can’t handle the pushback then don’t play the game. We have as much right to criticise the naivety or otherwise of a gesture as some one has to denounce that criticism. A black power gesture to a Jewish person is a very different thing to a black power gesture to a white man.

    There’s been plenty of that. It’s not enough to be against racism, you have to be seen to conform and endorse BLM, otherwise you’re in the same camp as 18th century slave traders. It’s no accident that such emphasis is placed on the required genuflection - if you bend your knee you’re one of us, if not you’re effectively a racist. There’s no ambiguity allowed, it’s black and white, your knee is bent or you’re left standing for everyone to see and condemn. You have to admit it suits a society where conformity is safety and where deviating from dogma is heresy. What better way could there be to exercise control? 

    Indeed. Control is the issue. Controlling what must be believed and what can be said. The influence of the agenda is evident even here in this discussion. There are those who are congratulating themselves on their right-think. Mission accomplished. Institutions that pursue woke points today will discover that when those who seek control are in a position to exercise it tyrannically it will all count for nothing in the end. Rangers will be cancelled for their problematic past. The club's capitulation is just another brick in the wall.

  16. This may be a seminal moment: the point at which the primary working class cultural institutions capitulated to the neo-Marxist agenda. 
     

    Racism is evil. It is possible to agree on that but disagree profoundly on the best methods of addressing the issue. It doesn’t make any of us better or worse. There is a tendency to view and speak of those who disagree with the BLM agenda as if it is some evidence of animus against other races. That is to fall into the trap that has been set for us and proves the fact that the agenda is intended to divide.

    Honestly I think you are very confused and over-reacting: to say that the club is immersed in neo-marxist axioms is near-hysteric: it is just about doing what is right. Rangers fans and other may have thought they were fighting against fascism but there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the British ruling class were not anti-Hitler and Mussolini per se. Indeed, Lord Halifax only turned against Hitler when he realised that his landed estates would be under threat. Marxism and fascism are emphatically not two sides of the same coin; Lenin's idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat is but the prelude to complete freedom for all, free from ruling elites. Fascism has no such ideal other than the rule of the elite. As for free speech I think you'll find it very much continues thanks to social media, some of which is quite sickening.   

    Diversity and inclusion are Marxist categories. Rangers have a Diversity and Inclusion Charter. The thing is as plain as the noses on our faces. Rangers are advancing a Marxist agenda, like all useful idiots in history, without a clue that they are doing so. Every Communist revolution has been fomented by an academic/social elite and then that elite has ruled with an iron fist over the population. The primary difference between Marxism and Fascism is that one is internationalist in its spirit and the other is national. In terms of their modi operandi they are almost exactly the same.

    Marxists will support the BLM despite its inchoate character but I find it interesting that you should have assumed and defined its character when its leadership - or lack of - is still open to question. Then you go on to quote Gramsci who some consider a marxist. What BLM have done is to link racism to capitalist elites, to point out that it is but a tool to maintain control. If you are trying to deny this then you should be more explicit I think. Personally I think the club has done nothing wrong.

    I take BLM at their word and assume that what their website indicates as their cardinal aims characterise the nature of the organisation. These aims are explicitly Marxist, specifically neo or cultural-Marxist. The Frankfurt School and those who have followed them have sought through Critical Theory to deconstruct the Western capitalist edifice. They have succeeded not by challenging capitalism - BLM are working hand in glove with corporate America and increasingly the UK (including now Rangers) - but rather by undermining the fundamental cultural institutions that bound Western civilisation together. The family, the nation state/patriotism and Christianity were the bulwarks they had to destroy. The most powerful vehicle for this spirit has been the sexual revolution. Anyone Everyone is an almost perfect synthesis of neo-Marxist axioms. It's ironic that many Rangers fans gave their lives to prevent fascism conquering the United Kingdom. Our generation welcomes it in with a flag and a scarf. There are things you can no longer say in this country. Why is that? Because were functionally under the sway of Marxist political correctness and hate speech laws. Marxism is just fascism with better propaganda. It is fascism. The straight arm salute, the raised fist, it's all the same.

    See, IMO, you're taking this too far.

     

    Our black players (and our white ones it seems), along with the manager and many, many fans want our black people treated equally.  Not to the detriment of anyone else or as some sort of silver bullet in terms of the perfect society, just a realisation that racism exists and we should all play our part to remove it.

     

    It's not a perfect analogy but let's take the poppy. I love seeing our club wear that symbol every year. But I don't see it as solely remembrance of our war dead but of everyone killed or affected by such, i.e it should be seen as a symbol of peace for the future, not just remembering what happened historically. 

     

    The same goes for our actions of the weekend. As Goldson explained it, it was about equality for everyone - not cherry picking some Marxist ideology but just a better, more educated outlook where people aren't singled out for maltreatment because of their colour or creed.

    There are plenty other very serviceable anti-racist campaigns in football that the club could promote. By adopting the insignia of a Marxist organisation you are furthering their ends. Gramsci called for a long march through the institutions in order to achieve hegemony in the culture. Sadly, Rangers are now part of the process. I am not taking it too far at all. Indeed, given the urgency of the hour and the extent to which this ideology already dominates Scottish public discourse, I am not taking it far enough. Black Lives Matter (that black lives matter I will defend to the uttermost) is a trojan horse. We have now legitimised it institutionally as a club. Rangers - the friends of Marxists. How our forefathers would weep. Indeed, the Frankfurt School would happily endorse some of the principles of Anyone Anywhere. Marcuse, the father of the sexual revolution, would be delighted to see his values and principles realised by a football club in Scotland. Principles designed to deconstruct western civilisation, injected into the cultural bloodstream by neo-Marxist theorists. Do some research, look it up. We are being played.

  20. You cannot promote equality by advocating for just one ethnic group to the exclusion of others. Marxists understand this perfectly, for their design is not to solve problems but to foment division. It takes a particular kind of genius to foment division by promoting equality. This they have succeeded in doing. Every knee that bows is another brick in the wall of division as it births another radicalised white person who previously had no real sense of racial division. The whole thing has been brilliantly conceived and executed. All Marxism requires to prosper are enough useful idiots to advance the cause without understanding that they are being played. Evidently, we have enough of those. BLM is the antithesis of What Rangers are committed to achieving. That the club can’t see that is regrettable. 

  21. Well done GersNet on the freedom of speech front. I posted the same message that started this thread the same day on Follow Follow and they had me banned from the site within ten minutes. A badge I will wear with pride. Kudos to you. I only wanted to start a debate
