That would be the same Saha Johnson who calls black people who don't agree with her ****s, threatens them and is a complete racist.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

It's a great reply.

The echo chamber argument doesn't really work for forums. I think within a work environment there can be a point to that....and to an extent our personal lives but it's also important that the disagreement in those areas is constructive and friendly.....otherwise what should be constructive becomes destructive.

My goodness

You may not have noticed

In general I am supportive of those people we entrust with our safety and argue on the positive side. Unless they prove themselves untrustworthy

You, on the other hand …

I couldn't let that pass without questioning it!

Just who, I wonder, identifies as being "left" here? I know I don't, and I don't read any posts that I think any reasonable person would regard as from a genuinely left wing position.

I read a few from those with a more balanced socially responsible position than the majority of posters, but "left"? None at all.

That there are repeated assertions of the type above is only support for my belief that the further to the right you are, the more you perceive almost everyone else as "left". So the question is not to those on the right, who believe this kind of claim, but to their targets. How do you identify yourself?

Most people are neither left, nor right. They are mostly moderate centralists with slight leanings one way or the other.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Until a couple of years ago I would have agreed with you but now I am no longer convinced there can be any kind of constructive and friendly dialogue with those on the Left.

The Left want to force us to accept that a man can wake up in the morning and decide that he is in fact a she. And if we question that, have us exposed to all kinds of state-sanctioned punishments. And we have a supposed 'Conservative' Government who fully sanction it.

There is no possible way back from this other than some kind of formal seperation. How, when or where that happens, then I am all ears but that is only a discussion worth having with similar-minded folk. It really is a tipping point issue.

At the moment we are living in times where increasing globalisation is being forced upon all of us....left, right and anything in between.

I fully agree with you that there are areas of significant difference between different fractions even from within the same movement.....However, history teaches many times over that a divided resistance is exponentially weaker than a combined one.

What I'm saying is that on certain topics of mutual interest it makes sense to break bread and that the 'all or nothing' approach on everything......Well, it results in nothing for nobody.

I'm saying that compartmentation is a useful tool for anybody and that purity spiralling is a luxury that only those with real power can afford.
