Lefties don't go to the pub and have a yarn, they go to the microbrewery and dissect structural inequalities.

Well if by 'microbrewery' you mean my mate's laundry where we do our homebrew, and if by 'dissect structural inequalities' you mean complain about the Government, then I would say that that is a fairly accurate summation.

But if you think lefties and hipsters are the same thing and that we're all craft beer drinking twats, I invite you to come and have a few pints of homebrew (or Guinness, if you don't fancy homebrew) with me some time and meet a real lefty, rather than the caricature you imagine us to be. Unless you're afraid of having your disillusions shattered, that is.

Seriously, have you guys ever met any lefties in person? Because it doesn't sound like you have. How on earth can you be so sheltered? I've met plenty of tories face to face.

Toni lavis,
I have had to work with lefties for most of my working life. If I never have to have anything to do with another one I'll be very happy indeed.
I found them to be nothing more than a hindrance in a practical environment & disruptive to the point of being a waste of time & space & unaffordable in the administrative sector. It's sort of self-explanatory why you don't run into lefties outside the Public Service.

"Anyone of my generation of ANY race, will know what I'm talking about and think back with fond memories of all the piss-take and name calling.
They were terms of endearment, not slurs."

Some people don't get it.
They say we were a 'white racist' Australia', but it's not the real story, or the whole story is it ALTRAV?
It's like they're rewriting history, and its not the truth by any measure.
Because something good in amongst that alleged 'racist' environment was lost, and now issues really are race-based, petty and divisive and they claim this is better?

Well, I don't know about that.

Given that about half the population votes Labor, that shouldn't really come as a great surprise to anybody. I'd be amazed if you'd never had to work with anybody who doesn't have differing political views to yourself. I don't why you think that's such a big deal: the work still gets done the same by lefties as it does by tories. Food doesn't care what your political views are; it cooks the same either way.

I work in hospitality. I didn't realize that hotels were considered as part of the Public Service, but then again they are called pubs and they do serve people. Seems obvious when you think about it.

But hold on, I'm confused. Only yesterday you were talking about how much you love the Pub(lic Service). And now suddenly you've decided that you've gone off the pub, because it's staffed by lefties. Can you make up your mind as to whether you like the pub or not?

Toni Lavis,
This is not about having different views, this is about usefulness & responsibility & sense.
Lefties are devoid of those qualities, real Labor supporters aren't. In case you hadn't noticed & I'm certain you haven't, the ALP is not Labor.
