Now lets see if I can figure you out Plantagenet?

You call yourself right wing, but you think that any right wing person who is racist "far right" (which is another name for Nazi). Yet you are racially prejudiced against old white men yourself?

And you support Islam and Muslims?

Yeah, that makes sense.

Get over it LEGO.

I'm Conservative, right of centre, not "rightwing".

While you are sadly a far-right, racist, extremist.

Be more positive. Get out of your "We-White-Minority-Are-Threatened" hate-hole.

I delay my Grandpa's fight in WWI with Turks at Gallipoli. These Turks just happened to be Muslim defending their own country,

They did shell Granpa's Stationery Fieldhis Hospital (becaue it was hiding ammunition and because the Aussies knew the Turks knew)

and the Turkish shells fired at some Hospital tents caused tell-tale ammunition secondary explosions - which the Turks noticed.

until you become a civil OLO commenter.

You sure are a mixed up boy, Plantagenet.

Another name for "right wing" is "conservatives." Left wingers are "progressives." (Actually, "regressives.")

Yes, I am a right wing racist, but so are you. You claim to be "conservative" but you are racially prejudiced against white men. I notice you dodged replying to that charge when I brought up your obvious contradiction.

Was it because you said to yourself "Holy sheet, he is right, I just said something racist! I just dropped a clanger. Uh oh, I will just pretend that I did not negatively stereotype old white men, or imply that they should be seen and not heard. I better watch my mouth."

You asked me why I am "far right"? Well, I used to be an anti apartheid demonstrator but then I realised that people like you who claim to be anti racist are just anti white. I doubt if you really think you are anti white. I doubt if you think much at all. You just swim with the current of "progressive" opinion and never think objectively about race. You stay within your comfortable PC bubble, and within that bubble the idea of racial equality is a done deal. No need to think about it or wonder if you have been had. You are so used yapping at heels of the PC crowd that you think attacking your own race as a fashionable bit of virtue signalling. You never even realised you were doing it. Well boy, now you know.

And I see you are at it again sneering at the white race because we have 95% of the world's nuclear weapons. That is hardly surprising since he white race invented nearly everything that makes the modern world. I suppose that you are happy that nutter in North Korea and those crazy medieval mullahs in Iran are catching up? I am sure that your friend Biden will do his best to help them

Thankyou Mr LEGO

Again a big thankyou Mr LEGO.

LEGO,

There are many variations on 'conservatism'.

There are many variations on 'progressivism'.

There are even cross-overs, people who believe that:

* human societies have built up systems of value which should not be set aside lightly, especially those of the Enlightenment, and that such values are under violent threat from the dumb-arse (and strangely anarchist or at least nihilist) right at least as much as from the 'left' -

and who also believe that

* where change is necessary for the welfare and happiness and therefore opportunities of people, especially of suppressed/oppressed groups, then those changes should be carefully planned, introduced, monitored and modified as required,

and I also suspect that that pathway is too easily impatiently junked by the most idiotic of the 'left' in favour of overthrowing the entire system, and starting from scratch.

Both can end up in fascist dictatorship, by whatever name.

So I am hostile to both extremes, as not all that different from each other - hence people could easily confuse Proud Boys with Antifa in the recent attempt to overthrow the US government and install a Trumpf dictatorship.

So to my surprise, I find myself a progressive conservative. Quite likely, most people take vaguely similar stances.

Small children believe in either-or. Try to learn, LEGO, from older children.

Joe

To Plantagenet.

I would agree with your assertion that terms such as left, right, progressive and conservative can be misleading. But they are still in circulation and their current meanings are generally accurate enough. In Britain, the Left is Labour and the Right is Conservative. So if you call yourself a conservative then most people would regard you are right wing.

You say that you are hostile to both extremes. Well, that should mean that you and I think alike and we should be allies. But you seem to regard right wing people who are racist as "far right". Yet strangely you do not include yourself in your own definition, even though, from your own statement which was clearly racially prejudiced against old white men, you are as racist as I am. Or is it that you are not racist towards just old white men, you are prejudiced towards all old men regardless of their race?

That would make you sexist and ageist, but not racist.

Could you please clarify exactly what you are?

I believe in female equality up to a point, but men and women are just not equal. The spread of sporting performance between men and women within all Olympic level sports has shown a consistent 10% difference for many years. Only around 12-15% of male soldiers can kill the enemy at visual distances and not turn into psychiatric cases. For women, who are much less violent than men, it would be significantly less. As for women soldiers killing enemy women soldiers, forget it.

When it comes to ageism, unlike yourself I was properly brought up and taught to respect my elders. So I would regard myself as morally superior to you. I think it is funny that you think you are morally superior to me.
