Hi Foxy, long time no see. Have you been hiding pout on New Matilda, where anybody who submits a contrary view to the prevailing left wing orthodoxy gets summarily banned?

I know what level of "debate" you want. It would be the sort of "debates" and panel discussions we see on the unbiased ABC. A couple of moderate trendy lefties "debating" against a couple of absolutely crazy lefties, and both sides eventually agreeing that climate change is real, there should be open borders, the white race is the worst race on Earth because they are all racists, minorities are all oppressed by white people, right wingers are just awful, and Trump is the earthly incarnation of Satan.

Of course, you could stay around and cross swords with us right wingers on OLO, but I doubt if you will do that. In any point to counterpoint debate on any contemporary issue, we will wipe the floor with you with reason and logic, as we have done so many times before. Your only hope is to stand up on your soapbox in front of a chorus of singing angels, and pretend that you and your comrades are the font of all human virtue. But people are wising up to your endless evangelical puritanical preaching, and to your default position of endless virtue signaling.

Better to just do a hit and run. Make some sneery remark about the standard of debate here on OLO and then run out of the arena, hurling brickbats as you run away.

Onya ttbn.

LEGO, just for the record, are you satisfied as to my position on Muslims.
I want to make sure we're clear, because I'm sure, your attack has left some people thinking I am a Muslim sympathiser.
This absolutely not the case.
I thought my comments were clear, but it seems somewhere between writing and reading they have been misconstrued to say something other than what was intended.
I ask for your response in particular as you were quite animated in your comments against me, because unfortunately, it seems you were on a completely different tack.
Anyway glad someone is still reading me.
Carry on the good work, I shall be following your comments with interest as usual.

LEGO,

Thanks for proving my point with your post.

You must be very popular at the local pub.

To Foxy

We know we have you lefties on the run when all you can do is toss sneery one liners instead of engaging in debate.

I don't want to be too hard on you, I used to be a trendy lefty myself. But I was smart enough to figure out that I was being lied to and manipulated by people who prey on youthful idealism, to promote their anti democratic utopian fantasies. I hope that you will do the same.

The tactic's used by the socialist utopians is exactly that used by the cigarette companies to lure adolescents into using their addictive and dangerous product. Portray an image of what the young aspire to be, (slim and good looking, sophisticated, the macho Marlborough Man,) and then link your product to that image.

The image that the socialists presented to you was the same as that they presented to me. They use the need for young people to present a positive self image of themselves to the world. They then manufacture a positive image linked to a particular social class, who are presented as the young, beautiful, smart, and more morally virtuous than any other social class. This image has great appeal to young people. They then link their own causes to that image. This is why it is often so difficult to deprogram many young trendy lefties, because attacking their manufactured-for-them opinions is attacking their own positive self esteem.

My own conversion began when I realised that those who championed socialist egalitarianism were the biggest social snobs around, who really knew how to look down their noses at working class plebs like me. Think of socialite socialists, like the millionaire Hollywood stars now sneering at Trump, championing open borders while living in their gated communities in seaside LA.

Then there was the realisation that those who championed anti racism really did hate white people. Their default position is always, that whatever problems afflict always dysfunctional minorities, the blame can always be put squarely on white people, with a little pushing, shoving, and airbrushing of the facts.

LEGO,

Thank You for your concern about me.

You need not worry. I come from a family background
that saw first hand what both facism and communism
meant. It has been deeply ingrained into my psyche.

I hope that we can continue to have discussions
and we can continue to do so appropriately and
respectfully without the necessity to use insults
and personal attacks.

I look forward to our many discussions in the future.

Oh DTM you were a couple of days early. Today we have another bunch of Islamic lone woofers wanting to kill as many as possible in Melbourne. What a magnificant environment the socialist have set up for our grandchildren.
