An awkward Christmas for lefties?

[Notch7]

Oh it’s been a terribly awkward Christmas me, oh so so terrible.

bless, we extremists have had an amazing Christmas. I have earned a small fortune and got a few days off now to enjoy.

In terms of decent conversation I prefer lefties to half-witted Reform types.

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!!

He sounds more of a massive bellend rather than an easily irritated political thinker...

Most families have a few crazy lefties. Most others quietly endure them. Some deliberately poke them with a verbal stick to make them go off, as it's good fun.

I must confess to being one of the latter sometimes.

I don't care what anyones political stance is, it is rarely discussed in my circle of friends, might make a few comments about Trump but apart from that I certainly wouldn't fall out with anyone over them. I believe everyone has a right to their own beliefs wether that is politics or religion, just doesn't affect me in the least.

That's not free speech.

I have conversations with them both. I tell them that some people will see it like this or that.
In reality Im miffed what goes on through a left-leaning head.

I often think that they are just paind by the Russian government to antagonise, as how can they think in such a way.

My experience is the opposite. It is generally the right wingers who go off on one, ranting and foaming at the mouth; some even turn a weird shade of pink.

Probably after enduring some tiresome waffle from the family's self-appointed leader of morality, preaching about how everyone must think.

...usually after some virtue-signalling bull about their voluntary work at the food bank or something.

Again, not in my experience. Right wingers seem to trigger themselves very readily. The mere thought of immigrants or trans people seems to set them off.

Rubbish, immigrants raping and murdering should get everyone triggered along with councils and hospitals spending money on rainbow pedestrian crossings and flags.

Intelligent people look for the data to see what the percentage rates are

The unintelligent people get triggered.

along with councils and hospitals spending money on rainbow pedestrian crossings and flags.

Culture war - the unintelligent often fall for the culture war deflection

Poor Aveatry is Daily Mail man

Lefties are always awkward not just at Christmas

 

[fillyboy]

There appears to be a lot of lefties getting triggered and wetting their knickers on this thread.

It's as I'd expect.
