I see the Alt Right are triggered and offended again, even though they claim this is solely a trait of those on the left.

The Nick Sandmann case is a prime example of the left doing exactly what they are now accusing others of doing to GT.

The difference is more is made of the GT example because social media outlets inherently have a left leaning bias and as such bury any example that may highlight their hypocrisy.


Which just highlights the fact they are all as **** like as each other. Some just have louder voices than others.

Is there a post of yours on here that couldn't be summed up as whataboutery?

On reflection, though, the use of copied and pasted Alt Right favourites, resort to trolling (brexit (sic) is popular), insulting a teenage girl and pseudo-intellectualism are all strangely familiar. Although it does look like someone's brand new Grammerly keyboard is malfunctioning, so I've had to highlight some corrections.

After reading had a quick look at some of his other posts. They do read very very looney tunes. Like a reigned in version but still recognisable.

Listening to the Radio this morning, some young children are getting so worked up about Climate change, it's giving them stress and nightmares.

Stressed that nobody is doing enough to combat it? I can see that.

Just another example of right wing loons abusing perfectly decent people and getting triggered and upset when they are told it’s not okay. They’re upset because they thought it was okay to do that sort of thing now. It’s not. Of course.

Good to hear you are on board and will be fighting for these kid's futures.

I'm sure it is and I don't blame them- it's the world that they'll be growing up in while the people that have caused the problems will be long dead

Do you not think that exposing some of them may make others think before typing if they know they may get named and shamed?
I’m pretty sure social media is here to stay though. Not something I make much use of but it does good for a lot of people.

Usual scaremongering from the triggered right and psychologists desperate to get published.

Why, one only has to read a couple of paragraphs into the article to find that experts thinks it’s a perfectly rational fear to have.

“But CPA members said they don't want the rising "eco-anxiety" social phenomenon in children to be classified as a mental illness because it is a "rational" fear, unlike the causes behind most standard anxiety issues”.

Really not much to see here. Another case of someone only reading the headline and tripping themselves up.

I think the world was a better place before the internet ..... sorry NSC .... simply because people used to speak and look at each, truly engage. Now almost everyone over ten, including us, stares at a small screen, families disappear after dinner to their devices, people in pubs and clubs stare at their phone and ignore their mates (I first saw this at he 2004 Play Off Final weekend in Cardiff ... we stayed for the weekend. Youngsters stood next to each other in venues, ignoring their mates, in a digital trance). It’s now a clinical disorder. Plus kids can be bullied whilst at home online, whilst in all ages before smart phones, bullying stopped at the front door after school.

But like alcohol, it can’t be uninvented.

I haven’t got a clue how it’s going to end up.

But I feel lucky to have lived, socialised and holidayed for many years before smart phones came along.

2004? Were they all playing Snake?

So many pages and so many issues avoided.

Firstly what Bristol live is doing is Doxxing or Catfishing or both(Something NSC has form for), its better headline would be "These are the sort of people who read our Rag". As for the comments a lot are not credable threats "Burn her at the stake" as well as a "ready the milkshakes" comment which is something a lot of you have posted in favour of in the past, Hypocrisy?

As a side point some of you are quite fond of tthe term "Whataboutery", but sadly dont know what it means and quite often use it in the wrong way. Its used to deflect but is misused to retort to accusations of hypocrisy.

The other point of a child fronting a movement brings up issues of Pathos and Antinatelism. The former being an emotional type of reasoning rather than Ethos or Logos, which are Ethical and logical forms of reasoning wrt Aristotle. This can be seen in the world with emotional law making "Hate laws" or safe spaces and the counter point "facts dont care about your feelings" as often spouted by Ben shapiro. Or as someone has posted "Wont anybody think about the children" an emotional arguement which sums up the extinction rebelion and where the term Triggered originates from the same well as safe spaces.

Then we come to Anti-natalism. Were pro-natalism is a child centered view of the world, making child protection paramout and in favour of reproduction, wereas anti-natalism is the opposite. Have you noticed how the litany of left-wing views are anti, to a lesser or greater extent? Abortion, Womens choice to work and not have children, same sex non reproductive relationships, Transexualism which involves sterilising? Regardless if you are in favour of some or all of these or against there is nothing new in this. In other Epocs we have had child sacrifices and vestal virgins, which at the late stages of civilisations replace the fertility Gods.

This is reflected in putting a youngster in the political firing line, people will not stop debating an issue because there is a child fronting it, if you object to it then dont put kids in the political firing line. they are entitled to their opinions and in turn need to have them tested, its part of growing up.

Or as the Doom Goblin would say "How dare you!" Another emotional point.
