During my professional training, I was always told by the old sweats that the HARDEST thing was to identify the enemy. There was no point in returning fire until there had been a clear identification and a subsequent fire control order. In reality, it proved a lot more difficult than in training, even with those big anecdotal indicators. Gersnetters are firing off in every direction, the enemy has wandered off with a smile on their faces. I suggest a weapons tight situation be applied, until someone identifies the trolls. Expand In that podcast mentioned above it was suggested that some of the worst comments came from recent accounts so the forums may well have been trolled. In any event we should NOT beat ourselves up too much; it is a societal problem and every club will have its nutters. Every club.

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? Expand 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.
