An awkward Christmas for lefties?

Do any of the lefties here have advice for others when faced with the drunken ribbing
Judging by the RWR posts on this thread, it seems the threat to the lefties from the RWR, comes in the form of pi$$ed up blouses that can't hold their drink or their tongue. Quaking I'm sure.

Yep, súck it up still applies. (y)
 
A friend from my local was moaning about this on Monday night. He said he was being forced to go round for a family gathering on Xmas Day but wasn't looking forwards to it because "half of the family are lefty w*nkers". He's ex Hells Angels, Scottish and very forthright with his views. Under strict orders from SWMBO to keep his drinking to the minimum so he doesn't react and embarras her.

Light the blue touch paper!!
I sorted this years ago.
We're the ones hosting all the parties, so the w*ankers don't come and I don't go to their houses.
No arguments in my house as the attendees are naturally selected.
When I started this trend, the leftists would come and find it disappointing that every time they tried to talk politics or woke shyte, the music volume would go up to 11...
Nowadays they stay away, content to argue with the TV.

Hideous human being.


All family and friends are welcome to our house, irrespective of politics.

Awww Merry Christmas everyone.

We all love the family lefties. They don't get hostility from me, mostly amusement and sympathy. Most have spent their lives spouting their wonky opinions so loudly to everyone that they're just unable to turn round and admit they got it all wrong.

They sound like they're getting annoyed at you but they're mostly annoyed with themselves. Cute little tantrums, like an angry kitten.
 
It’s amusing to note that that rabid right wing element of the forum - or at least some of them - are pariahs within their own extended families. My experience is that people generally are moving to the right, proving the old mantra that if you tell people something often enough, they start to believe it.

Alternatively - it could simply be that those who are moving to the right, are simply making good use of their own, built-in intelligence, to arrive at that sensible conclusion.
 
My theory is that we all start off as left-wing. You only need to listen to a toddler saying "it's not fair", this idea of fairness is the basic function of a young brain. We all instinctively want the world to be equal. Usually by early adulthood most think that those with more should share it with others, everyone should help everyone else. This is all lovely, it all sounds great.

But as we mature, most people appreciate that sharing only works if everyone pulls their weight. If everyone gets the same outcome whether you make an effort or not then there's no incentive to actually help anyone in any way. A significant part of the population soon works this out, and will quite happily let everyone else do all the work. This becomes corrosive - those working hard see that others who do nothing are as comfortable as they are, so they shouldn't bother trying either. The end result is that nobody cares about themselves or anyone else.

Leftyism is usually a phase of the developing brain, that most people work out sounds lovely but doesn't actually work in practice.

Those who are still in the leftyism phase of development think that those who think otherwise are selfish and/or actually want others to suffer. This just isn't true, those on the right want a better world but understand that apparent sharing and caring actually makes people worse off, not better.

But some spout the leftyism so loudly that even after they've already worked out it's a load of *******s they still feel the need to continue spouting as that's the tribe they've aligned themselves with, so they'd look stupid and probably fall out with friends if they stopped spouting it. It's a lot like a religion.

You can tell it’s people swallowing propaganda because they repeat phrases like “Britains broke” which come from the mouths of public figures.
