Is their anything specific in my apparant lack of knowledge you'd like to point out. I can't remember discussing anything of the sort with yourself. You're clearly very shite at analysing language unless this other guy is somehow similar to me, let me guess, he doesn't circle jerk and he doesn't support SI? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Just caught up on Peppy's meltdown from Monday. Felt like I'd blacked out shortly before reading and had no idea where I was. Fantastic stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is mocking someones blind loyalty towards a political group and their naive assertion that the politicians truly deeply care for the country rather than funnily enough, being career politicians seen as trolling but when someone mocks something I've said it's fair game? Imagine actually believing all politicians are self serving sleekit people but not the ones that happen to be selling the ideology you support. I think that's a pertinent point and someone is entitled to come along and reply "wow that's tragic" all they like, I wouldn't call it trolling. I would say daily checking of ones profile to down vote could be considered trolling but oddly yet again it's not that that anyone is focussed on, it is the guy with the opposing views.. I'm sure you would rather this place was a united front as it helps to convince you the rest of the country supports SI but I'm here to be your little reality check and to burst that bubble. The circle jerk is no more as I have broken the chain, sitting their with trousers on whilst the majority of you (trousers at the ankles) look around stunned at the audacity. tbf I think generally it's harder to aim "oh you're only in it as a career politician" at most in the SNP ; for starters there's no cushy route into a House of Lords position available as there would be for other parties, and SLab were - up until fairly recently at least - a fairly straightforward brand to win a seat with across most of Scotland. It's a pretty recent, rapid rise for the SNP since 2000. There's the odd donkey in a yellow rosette sneaking through the cracks (Natalie McGarry and Michelle Thomson) but taking a position of Scottish independence against every single other Unionist party + the mainstream media doesn't open near as many doors as happily dancing to the UK Govt tune would. Easy to forget that the Greens back indy too and Patrick Harvie is firmly one of the good guys. edit: cant mind who exactly but might be being a touch harsh on one of McGarry/Thomson there Edited December 10, 2020 by Thistle_do_nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote I was responding to is "you cannot sit there and say that they do not have the best interests of scotland at heart." To me, this is an incredibly naive thing to think about any politician. Perhaps less about the career element it's more about believing in the integrity of someone's argument because it chimes with yours rather than applying the same level of scrutiny to all politicians no matter what the argument is about. It's like someone supporting Brexit because "Bojo will stick up for are British people" imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed so tiresome and my mind drifts back to the skyline of 2014 when even posters of cerebral certainty wouldn't engage beyond generic pro union "I'm happy enough with what I have thank you very much". Thing is what we had as part of the union of countries is no more and it is incumbent upon any serious contributor to pitch up with their justifications. Anything less isn't worth engaging with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
