I avoid those forums for a reason; politics is shoehorned into everything these days and I'd rather not see it shoehorned into threads that are supposed to be about football. Nah, I'm never on board with posts like this. It's very much related to St Johnstone when an ambassador for the club is publicly condoning weird views on social media. If you don't wish to acknowledge or respond to posts about anything which isn't directly about football, you don't have to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Is it telling that the outstanding January signing has turned out to be the player we've tried twice to chase out of the club because Davidson didn't think he was good enough?And his contract is up soon... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, how do you think the next Chancellor's budget will affect St Johnstone? Also, anyone have any idea how Chris Kane voted in the last GE? I've always suspected he's a Tory, which is reason enough not to start him. Do you think he voted for independence? -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankChickens1 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Not only that, but the conversation about Grieve's posts had already all but reached its natural conclusion. Some of us think it's embarrassing for the club, some disagree with him but also dont care, and some probably agree. Conversation over. Instead it's moved onto pages of false equivalency. None of us know how Kane voted because he isn't telling all of twitter about it, unlike Grieve. If Kane isn't polluting his twitter with it, then I don't care how he voted (at least in terms of how he represents the club). Mindboggling that Sainthearted's failure to grasp that obvious point has led to pages that might otherwise have been avoided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-politicised bullshit. No, your ideological disposition infects everything with, or reduces everything to, politics. I think what you means to say is politics is the only thing you invest in, or what you invest "meaning" in. However, political ideologies and philosophies don't begin and end with "human existence orbits the state", your ideology or philosophy does. So, what do you want to talk about next in a thread about St Johnstone in a forum about the SPL? The validity of linguistic, social and technological determinism? Maybe the distinction between corporatism and capitalism? Perhaps you'd like to discuss contrasting epistemologies and how your investment in a particular epistemology affects St Johnstone FC? Or, maybe this all wildly off topic and you could discuss...football. Just an idea -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we discuss things on this thread that aren’t strictly St Johnstone related. Sometimes we’ll talk about nightlife in Perth. Other times politics. Sometimes we even discuss mulled wine. Will you start your mewling when we chat about those things as well? If so, I really don’t think this forum is for you. Unless you are willing to adapt then I think you should strongly consider leaving the forum - for everyone’s sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we discuss things on this thread that aren’t strictly St Johnstone related. I'm glad someone finally acknowledged the tenuous link to St Johnstone. Actually, the "oddball" comment was the one you made earlier, namely "political beliefs shape one’s thoughts and actions in life". That naturally led me to conclude you actually wanted a discussion about what shapes or determines human outcomes. I suggested a number of different factors beyond politics (technology, society and discourse) that people widely believe shape or determine outcomes, including so-called "political outcomes", and you've responded by calling me an "oddball". So, do you want a discussion about what "shapes thoughts and actions" or not? Or were you simply paraphrasing/regurgitating popular soundbites? How many human outcomes wouldn't have happened without technology? For example, remove modern agriculture, air travel, the clock, the pill, the television, the internet, etc., from our technological stack and then talk to me about how important politics is, or how much "politics shapes thoughts and actions". Actually, do that then review how many of your political beliefs disappear or become outmoded because the technology that facilitated or necessitated them no longer exists. So, all of this considered, if technology "shapes one's thoughts and actions in life", maybe this thread is actually the place for "the fermers" to start discussing the importance of the Neolithic Revolution? I mean, you've concluded your belief politics is the causal factor behind people's thoughts and actions is basis enough to infect this thread with a political discussion, so I can only assume you'll be open to me interjecting every now and again to remind you how relevant a conversation about agriculture would be and how anyone who disparages agriculture is actually some form of heretic who's embarrassing the club. After all, technology "shapes ones thoughts and actions in life", and it's not like this is a thread about football or anything... 1 hour ago, FrankChickens1 said: Not only that, but the conversation about Grieve's posts had already all but reached its natural conclusion.

Mindboggling that Sainthearted's failure to grasp that obvious point has led to pages that might otherwise have been avoided. He liked a tweet. Oh how simple it must be to live in a mindset that reduces a person's professional career, existence or worth to how they engage with a single tweet. Let's disregard the other 34 years of his existence, or rather the millions of actions he's performed throughout the course of his life; this action clearly defines him. Actually, do we really need to bother with archaic concepts like friendship, dating or marriage? Do we really need to "get to know" people? Apparently we can understand everything we need to know about another person, including their motives, by reviewing the last thing they engaged with on Twitter. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
