Don't want replies? Don't read the replies!

They aren't for you!

They are for others so that they can be exposed to the counter arguments. I long gave up hoping that anything I say will ever find a home in your brain.

As I cannot imagine you accepting being silenced, no matter how politely it is requested, you can be quite certain that I won't either.

So you can continue to waste time and effort, boring the pants of people in the process, if you choose to keep repeating a request that has been refused, but it won't make any difference.

As for me, I will now simply ignore them.

They may not hold allegiances to Trump’s America, but I see no proof they don’t have allegiance to the society.

It’s the same way a lot of Brexiteers imply their style of nationalism is the only way to be proud of Britain - I’m immensely patriotic, but I don’t align with the same style of nationalism nor ultimately the same politics.

These women clearly have different views on what is right for society, and you can contest those fairly and at length, but I see nothing to suggest it’s a lack of allegiance which is the difference here.. I think that’s quite watery.

Don't yea just love socially incohesive societies.....let's leave our personal stances on nationalism aside for a moment to focus on the mindsets here.

I kind of think you summed it up in your first sentence. These are alligiances to two different forms of societies.

Trump is saying, 'if you don't like this society....as in the 'status quo'...the 'Anglo Saxon' model as he sees it....then leave'.

Where as the Squad want to change the society and take over....and indeed demographic change means that soon it will be theirs rather than his.

But in the short term, the 'Squad' are pretty unpopular to the current majority....so he wins by highlighting the differences in their allegiance to a different type of society.

Essentially it's the backdrop to what I've been saying for months and it's having birthing pains with the 'boomers' like Trump......but they can't quite bring themselves to change from civic nationalism

Why is everyone particaly the left missing the "Then come back and show us how it's done" part of his comment.
The word come back is as important as any other part of the tweet.
I guess it doesn't fit with the left's narrative

"I politely ask you to stop replying to me"

This is NOT a reply to Stirlingsays. This is for everyone else.

This is a forum for members of the Hol. It isn't a private email account or even the Hol private messages box. No one member has control over the posts here.

Posters post comments. They make claims and assertions. Explain their theories. Others may disagree and decide to comment. Both are fully entitled to do so.

Those who choose to respond do so not to the original poster, but to the post. It's for members to read, if they wish to. Those who don't want to read, don't have to.

They have just as much freedom to ignore any post as any poster has in posting one.

As some posters have frequently complained that freedom of expression is under threat these days it is pretty ironic when this is attempted here.

Just imagine if I requested all my many detractors to stop posting replies so that my words could stand unchallenged. I don't want that, and I trust no-one else wants it either.

I reckon he used to pick up his football and go home when he was losing a game of football in the park as a kid.
