OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Bandwagon]

I mean it's worth stopping for a minute and considering that a young man who decides to go and assassinate a presidential candidate is gonna have some issues going on, and assigning rational behavior to an irrational actor in order to arrive at some conclusion that fits some predefined idea of how he should behave probably isn't the smartest thing to be doing.

 

[Bandwagon]

I believe lefties refer to this as whataboutism,

Ah no. Not even close.

It's a straight up refutation of the idiotic false assertion being made by folk such as your good self that "the left" is responsible for the current state of political discourse.

which is only okay when they’re doing it.

Ahhh, always the victim eh.

 

[Suitman]

You guys actually do realise that Pou is just arguing for the sake of argument, don't you?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ah no. Not even close.

What a DEPLORABLE thing to say.

Ahhh, always the victim eh.

Trust a lefty to think this is the victim Olympics. The only victims here are Donald Trump and a couple of deplorables caught in the firing line. Biden isn’t a victim for having to wind back his rhetoric and speak respectfully after his phone call with Trump. But no doubt he will soon be attacked by his party’s faithful for humanising the Orange Man.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How about you all just agree to disagree and f**king move on.
Kindergarten stuff this is.

Suitman has f**king HAD ENOUGH of hearing about current affairs and politics ffs!!!!

Deny what I said.

You poor dear.

Fact is the right have become champion victims, the left done did this, the left done did that, whoa the f**k is me.

Your whole dumb arsed culture wars are deeply rooted in your victim-hood, how everything you hold dear is being attacked or stolen by the left, deny it all you will, but it's there plain as day. It's all rather sad TBH.

 

[Bandwagon]

You guys actually do realise that Pou is just arguing for the sake of argument, don't you?

Nah, he's actually really invested in this whole culture wars nonsense.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I agree the right have adopted victim politics, ever since they began courting the marginalised working class. Indeed, victimhood has become a significant factor in Western sociopolitical power. If you’re not a victim you have no legitimacy in 2024. That’s why getting shot and not dying will benefit Trump.

But again, victimhood isn’t what’s happening here. This is about the rhetoric of the left. I’m not a victim and neither are you. They just need to follow Biden’s lead and clean up their language. This isn’t the time for whataboutism.

So... What is the other side of the coin doing? Arguing for the sake of the virtuous?

Cheers!

 

[Gronk]

Trumper Piers Morgan chats to both sides. Interesting outcome.

 

[ImTheMan]

Nah, he's actually really invested in this whole culture wars nonsense.

Says someone who most probably came in his pants every morning The Voice was front and center while thousands of families were made homeless from no fault of their own.

The year is 2045, Labor is still in power. The poor feast on bugs and can't afford a room in a ten person sharehouse. Bandwagon and Gronk log onto LU and post about how Covid and Climate Change made it impossible to address Australia's two million a month immigration intake, decrying all the racist scum zoomers that point out there is only one room to rent in their current suburb they were born in as opposed to the two over inflated houses that were available when Albo was Prime Minister. They both toast each other in their houses that were bought on one minmum wage, but make sure to put on their jackets because it is another record cold winter even with Trump's reigning dictatorship of America keeping power within their family for decades; pulling out of the Paris accord and creating the Trump accord in their first day of office. (SATIRE)

Yeah, I don't think it's really just that, I think the first pump does it for him. It's like reality meets some of the cartoony soldier man shit Maga depict him as, but then brings it mainstream, makes it real, and plays to an ideal image of the strength of the President.

It's corny as f**k, but the imagery will prove to be quite powerful. For all his faults, and as much as he is a showbag, Trump is still quite the showman.

 

[Gronk]

He’s had a few big days.

 

[Bandwagon]

But again, victimhood isn’t what’s happening here. This is about the rhetoric of the left.

Oh but it is about victimhood, the mere act of blaming the left here as you do makes that abundantly clear, it is classic we're the victims here shit.

You simply can't help yourself, Pavlov's dog is working his poor little arse off here

"Says someone who I reckon done some shit wot I made up he done, so his a poo poo head..............."

Just let how f**king dumb that is as an argument sink in.

Then realise.....

You're an idiot.

 

[ImTheMan]

^Strawman, ad hominens, reduction to absurdity. Did you enjoy The Voice at the time Bandwagon? You were a no because it was a culture war? As Gronk's alt (at least in spirit) and someone who goes on about racism when talking about immigration even though a lot of leftists agree within this context with me even on far left (see previously sourced SMH article comments) it's interesting you weren't interested about The Voice. Did Albo waste time and money on something that you didn't support? Albo seems to love a good culture war.

Agreed. Its impossible to keep up with the amount of dog shit in this thread.

He did do a couple of hip thrusts that weren't caught on camera.

Assuming Pavlov's Dog's gender is deplorable behaviour.
