Coronavirus and the political situation


Recommended Posts

The best way to undermine the CCP would be to find a way to bring the truth to the Chinese public, who have suffered at least as much from their government's corruption as the rest of the world. The truth terrifies all socialist regimes.

All day I've seen some truly vile posts across social media, some openly wishing the PM's death. I must come from a different planet because I would find it impossible to wish anyone's death.

 

I prefer to believe these cretin's wouldn't say the same thing if forced from behind their keyboards but the fact they could even suggest such a thing and live with themselves suggests I'm probably wrong.

I have deliberately avoided social media since Boris was admitted because I knew it would sadden me to see just how bereft of compassion some people can be.

All the same I don't wish death on anyone. I'm sure you will note my condemnation of the Heanor Labour councillor.

Much as though you clearly don't like Boris Johnson I would never have taken you for someone to wish death upon anyone ASIL :thup:

 

Yes, your condemnation of the Labour councilor is noted - the fact she had to apologise in the first place says a whole lot more though - she clearly feels that way, regardless of a forced apology or not.

You misunderstand: I don't know what this expression means, full stop!

Here you go :D

 

What is a Tin Foil Hat? The term tin foil hat is generally used as a derogatory remark toward someone advancing a conspiracy theory or other story that is considered unbelievable. ... Some people also say that those who promote conspiracy theories or government conspiracies are part of a tin foil hat brigade, or a tin foil hat group.

Looks like China is on it's way to full production while the economy's of the west are in ruins reminiscent of 1945 onwards when America became the dominant force economically and militarily it's going to take a strong leader  or a coalition of strong leadership to put them back in their box .

If this was a boxing match they won by a technical knockout.

You only see this from the left. It's a product of having been brainwashed into believing that Conservative politicians are simply evil. The internet has people living in bubbles and allows them to narrow their news and opinion consumption only to left wing sources. This is also true of the right of course, just not the part about the opposing politicians and party being evil.

I think you'd have to categorise the tories as occupying the centre ground of politics rather than the right. like the SNP, the British left has to create a sense of oppression in order to justify itself, hence the demonisation of "tories". The reality of course is that the tories have moved sharply left in its policies and is led by someone who is more libertarian than any PM in memory, including Labour ones.

Da fuck you on about ?  Once you sober up you might want to actually read the thread and see why the term "tin foil hat" was used.  I'm almost guaranteeing you are taking it to mean that I am suggesting that conspiracy theories aren't real.  Once you take a look and see that it was in reference to ASIL suggesting Boris Johnson was lying about having contracted COVID-19.  Given the man is in ICU, which is easily proven, the term tin foil hat was absolutely warranted in this instance.

 

What is my personal view ?  That Boris Johnson has COVID ?  No.... it is what has been officially informed to the public.  It isn't as if it would be difficult to confirm if he has COVID is it now.  Do you even know what you are actually debating here ?

 

Your enthusiasm to jump to any conspiracy theory isn't serving you well here Gribz.

 

Rather than It meaning ASIL has "the brain capacity and ability to make up your own decision" it ACTUALLY proves that some conspiracy theories (the one in this instance being that Boris Johnson faked COVID so as to tell the population "see, it isn't that bad") are a pile of shite.  If that was Boris's intent then he didn't do a very good job becuse he wouldn't have put himself in ICU because that clearly debunks the "it isn't that bad" theory.

 

If anyone is disappointed.... it is me in you - you know fine well there are some conspiracies that I believe in.  But here you are, jumping into a discussion full of the beer, not knowing what you are even discussing.  It's all good though, I'm not disappointed in you because you clearly have had a skinful - we've all been there :thup:
