Tab,

Being serious for a moment.

There is always a danger the "good folk" will accept extremism as necessary, especially if the extremist is pandering to pre-existing fears and hates, and peddling a simple message of its all for the good of the majority.

I have been somewhat concerned about the impact of regulations on our civil liberties during the Covid pandemic, put in place by our politicians as necessary for the common good. I am reasonably confident the restrictions are there for no sinister reasons of control, but are for the common good, and will be removed in time. These restrictions have been put in place by moderate politicians from both sides of politics, it's when the extremists starts to impose restrictions for the common good that I get concerned.

What's your take.

What's your take.

I'm going to get my eyes checked tomorrow just to be sure I read correctly !

Paul,

Is that why the greens are anti-semitic?

Indy, I'm not surprised you want government to "address" the "problem" of crap stirring hangers-on anarchists. That can only be done by imprisonment or at the point of a gun in the police state you so desire. Those you refer to are all who disagree with your way of thinking. Mussolini would be proud of you.

SM, if opposing genocide in the Middle East is anti-Semitic then I will have to agree, the Greens are anti-Semitic.
Its sickening to see the Zionists inflict simmilar war crimes on innocent Palestinian people, that were inflicted on innocent Jews by the NAZIS all those years ago.

I don't hate, simple ! I don't hate those who disagree with me either. What I am dead against is opportunism, misrepresentation, parasitism, inventing history, violence & straight-out greed !
That's my beef with the Left !

Indy,

You are in favour of a future rightwing regime "cleaning up" those leftwing undesirables. If not by imprisonment, or at the point of a gun, pray tell how? How far do these undesirables spread, I assume you mean anyone under that broad leftwing umbrella. Once on the slippery slope no one can tell how far it will go.

BTW, don't give me that I love my enermy crap, because you don't.
