"So much hate and toxicity being spread here."

Hmm. Yes, it should be like the referendum where the stupid racists mostly kept quiet. I'm concerned about Albo's renewable Nirvana destroying the environment as well as the economy. I guess that you'll have something to say about it when Albo does.

"So much hate and toxicity being spread here."
Foxy,
Yes, so why don't you stop doing so ? Using nice or kind words but with sinister undertones is still hate & toxicity no matter how much you're trying to pretend otherwise.
The real tragedy is that people who share your mentality are not even delusional, they're simply too silly to realise how treacherous their thinking actually is ! Pointing out & drawing attention to wrong is right, not hateful !

Well said. People of the Left know all about hate, being the main perpetrators of hate themselves. Some try to disguise their hate by speaking softly, appearing to be polite, but all the while calling other people haters.

They don't fool anyone. Only themselves with their lack of self-awareness. These people - only a couple of them here thankfully - are narcissists. And there is no point in arguing with narcissists, or expecting them take a look at themselves.

The more you try to reason with them, the more you enable to spit their venom. Ignoring them is the way to go. They really hate being ignored.

Indyvidual,

Any criticism of hate and antipathy, toxicity, bile,
wild claims, and calls for toning things down and
for calm should not be silenced - because it is an
attempt to draw attention to wrongs and it is indeed
right and not hateful.

Unfortunately, for some on this forum - this is perceived
as a negative thing to do and seen worthy of further
attacks. If you don't agree with their behaviour and
comments you are a mortal enemy.

It's a left-over from the "good-old days" habit of the past
mentaility in this country. which for a small minority
still does exist today. Thankfully - it is a small minority
that will simply end up on the dung heap of history.

Looking at any argument as being about "them and us" is always an epic fail. It is a reason why I voted "no" in the referendum.

My support for nuclear power relates to what I believe can provide reliable power economically and protect the environment. I don't found that view on ideology. Ideology is where you install an incredibly expensive, destructive and dysfunctional generation system and tell yourself that it is cheap, reliable and good for the environment. Ideology is also where you have a union run in remarkably similar fashion to organised crime, but you think it all fine because they are good Labor people.

Politics should be about doing what is beneficial, not blinding yourself with ideology.

This is what "renewable energy superpower" entails.
