When it comes to racism, the far right or the far left I totally agree. Odd that some people are applying coloured circles to utterly benign posts however, it is as if they have an agenda or are exerting peer pressure to belittle an individual for no good reason, I am certain there is a word for that but it escapes me for the moment.

Trying to bothsides the far left and far right is pretty far from benign, as far as this particular post goes.

This isn't the thread for this discussion (I'd question whether any thread is but particularly this one).

I agree with you there on the first part so lets knock it on the head.

Ah yes,very much so, trying too hard to make a point there.

[pandarilla]

I'm always very suspicious of anyone who draws a direct comparison between the far left and the far right.

I don't consider myself a supporter of the far left by any means but there's no comparison to the vile and racist hatred of the far right.

Hmm, Marshmallow applied a red circle to a post and quickly apologised for not reading the post before doing so and was called out for it by the same people now saying "it's only a red dot" when someone does it to a Marshmallo post.

I have no recollection of this - I can remember being falsely accused of downvoting a post in relation to someone's dad dying and I pre-emptively apologised in case I had by mistake, but it turned out to be some mentalist alias.

Ah, my bad. I must have missed the follow up part about the alias and just remember reading the apology.

As @Marshmallo is in charge of the dots, he should maybe make some dotty rules up, just so we’re all clear. Don’t use them reddy ones personally, but each to their own

Tory minister appears to back the stance taken by Millwall fans.

 

Have the tories decided that supporting blm is not a vote winner, and opposing it might be? Fucking hell.

[mention=46541]8MileBU[/mention] downvoting this is hideously unsurprising.

Sad (yet completely unsurprising) to see Mallo take a brief interlude from his VT tribute act to mimicking the simpleton formerly known as Ali_91’s “that’s racist cos dots!” act. 

Personally, I find posters who repeatedly ruin threads by trying to paint others as racists to be on equal footing with those who link their politics with their football or attempt to point score over other unsavoury allegations associated with football clubs. Utter dregs.

What part of the below post do you particularly disagree with?

Unfortunately I think you'd get booing from at least a handful of people from a number of the full time clubs in Scotland. 
The use of "Marxism" as a defence is even more scary to me than the fact it's out and out racism. That shows how far the alt right c***s online have embedded themselves in peoples brain and the influence they have.

[Marshmallo]

The person asking why a post decrying racism was downvoted is definitely the "utter dregs" here

Having just read it from your quote, none at all.

Glad that’s that cleared up for you, albeit you already knew the answer and are simply trying too hard. Please refrain from trying to engage with me any further on the matter. There’s football to be watched and dinner to be prepared so a twitchy ignore-list finger might be better utilised in the kitchen.

I was talking about the coloured circles m876 as well you know, my thoughts on racism are on the EFL thread.

Even on that post though you're trying to do the both sides thing that you've been rightly criticised for before.

I dismiss the Far Left & Marxist types as much as I dismiss the likes of Griffin & Yaxley-Lennon as hate filled rabble rousers.

You're seriously trying to equate everyone who subscribes to an ideology that has built anti-racism into its foundation to full-throated racist criminals. You're seriously suggesting that self-described Marxists and socialists such as Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, CLR James, many of the people within the Black Lives Matter movement and the lynchpins of other major historical civil rights movement are "hate filled rabble rousers" every bit as bad as nativist swivel-eyed bigoted reactionaries. 

I really don't think any self-confessed Tory voter can make any denunciations of the far left tbh. You have approved of a party which has been gleefully turning the big dial of racism every chance they've had for the last decade and have a proud history of race-baiting and xenophobia.

Why are you voting down posts without reading them? Feels like a recipe for disaster.

It’s more simple than that. They’re just a party supported exclusively by complete vermin. Outright racism has been part of their brand for a long time now.

Surely whilst on a dotting campaign you don’t check the posts ?? I’m taking it the easiest and fastest way is you just go on their profile and dot away to your hearts content ?? Surely you’re targeting the poster and not the post ?? Absolutely fascinating stuff 

[Marshmallo]

I accept your apology 8MileBU
