Such disrespect for the right to Freedom of Speech.  Tsk, tsk.

Oh, dearie, dearie, me.  Shooting the messenger, Soren?  Is that the best rebuttal you can come up with?   Tsk, tsk,   

Why must the far-right always resort to violence?

It's really quite disturbing.

"... some of the attackers carried placards reading “British Bolshevik Cult” and that one of those involved wore a Donald Trump mask.

"A far-right protest against censorship of the conspiracy theory website Infowars took place in central London on Saturday at which protesters were seen with the same placards."

Pecca doesn't like white people. It's obvious by all of his posts. He's your typical upper middle class race traitor.

Funny, I've never read you bang on about ANTIFA.

Because I'm honest. I love them like how you love ANTIFA.

Hammer: can you help her out?

We can all agree on this, right:

- Left wing = liberal

- Right wing = conservative

So, do you have any idea why cods might think that Muslim extremists are (very) liberal, as opposed to (very) conservative?

It's got me flummoxed.

Mr Hammer wrote on Aug 7^th, 2018 at 7:16pm:


Well, I wouldn't necessarily say they're right or left.

It can be argued that there are basically four types of extremists (radical groups):

- Right wing

- Left wing

- Politico Religious

- Single issue

Muslim extremists obviously fall into the 'Politico Religious' category.

However, in the absence of that category, they fit right wing rather than left wing.

Let's look at the left and right's views on gays, for example.

Left: generally support gay marriage; support anti-discrimination laws to protect LGBT against workplace discrimination.

Right: generally opposed to gay marriage; opposed to certain anti-discrimination laws due to certain religious beliefs.

Which one looks like a Muslim extremist's views?

Even the white supremist movement has opposing factions Pecca. It's probably better not to throw groups into these outdated and questionable categorys. Look at Pauline Hanson for instance. There's nothing conservative about her even though they call her one. All it is  is the established system vs groups who oppose it within a country. That's it.

greggerypeccary wrote on Aug 7^th, 2018 at 7:34pm:

The best indictor that a politician is not conservative is when the rest gang up to discredit them and depose them from power if possible. Trump isn't conservative nor is Hanson. They are radical. Left leaning politics is the new conservative in the west Pecca. Conservative means to conserve the current system.

Mr Hammer wrote on Aug 7^th, 2018 at 7:41pm:


Yes, they're radical.

Radical conservatives.

Jesus Christ, you don't even know what conservatism is, do you?

Muslim extremists are far, far left, and Trump and Hanson aren't conservatives.

Can anyone tell me what just happened?

This is making my head hurt.

What next - the sky isn't blue?

Yep he sure did.

Gonna take me a while to get over that one.

"Muslim extremists are far, far left" winded me.

"Hanson and Trump aren't conservatives" has pretty much knocked me out.

Oh, dearie, dearie, me.   I take that you're one of those, are you, Geoff?  Next you'll be claiming that Stalin was Right Wing?  The Nazis have been considered Right Wing becuase of their authoritarian policies towards individual freedoms.

You know, I wish people would stop re-writing the political spectrum simply because they can't agree with it.

Nothing to with me, Soren.  Take your argument up with the Guardian, please.

They can't express themselves with speech and resort to acts of violence.

Typical examples on Ozpolitic are denizens Yadda and Valkie who often commit egregious atrocities against the English language. These are your typical right-wing extremist book-burners.

Not quite, my misguided associate.
