That's a remarkably calm reaction to being told you've been in a coma for thirteen years!

'Libtard' is a portmanteau of 'liberal' and 'retard' and retard is certainly an ableist word. I recommend all posters report posts that use it in the future.

Just a reminder - there is no tolerance on 1FF when it comes to Ableist, Racist or Homophobic comments, slurs or exchanges. Members have reported the use of Ableist terms to Mods/Admins within the last couple of days.

Totally understand the joke nature of any comment, or lighthearted 'banter' (I have used these terms myself before, I think most people have) - however some people find these terms offensive.

I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

Yo your boy Obama mocked disabled kids.

Lib is an abbreviation of liberal or liberation. Tard comes from the Latin tarde, meaning late.

I AM OFFENDED

While we're moaning about terminology it's not very nice seeing "libtard" used on here.

Quite. Unfortunately, as with inconvenient things such as facts, basic civility is seemingly very passé these days. Maybe someday someone will take it upon themselves to dredge the sewer that is this forum coz at the moment it's a fucking chore to navigate.

Aww look he's being triggered.

Have to say anti-Brits have ruined my thread here.

Fuming.

I can't help but think I am partially responsible for the sewer. After all, I did ask how far away you lived from Chessington World of Adventure in the "how far do you live from your club's ground" thread.

Very true. You are meanness personified, mnb

Metropolitan bantz, I'm digging it.

You know full well the US has been complicit in genocide for decades, long before Trump or any alt-right hangers came on the scene. Where is the condemnation from you for things that actually happened?

Ah, you've got me there. The racism and imperialism of liberal societies is my blind spot. It's not like 75% of my posts on this forum are about exactly that.

The fact that liberalism murders people in their thousands shouldn't allow those who fantasise about murdering people in their millions a free ride. Any critique of fascism that doesn't critique liberalism misses the point imo - as Rosa Luxembourg said: socialism or barbarism.

 

[Redfox]

Liberals are coming more and more across as bad guys now.

Who does liberalism murder in the thousands?

This, the term is being thrown around so commonly at the moment its hyperbolic. It isn't even a term that is exclusively right wing by definition.

When Trump or May start banning other political parties and smashing up the printing presses of publications they don't like, THEN we'll start talking about fascism.

What part of Trump or his hangers on/ support group do you think aren't fascist?
Suppressing the media, attacks on organised labour, marginalising of and full on attacks on minorities, the overt politicisation of the law and order/ security services/ deep state, inviting white supremacists into his inner circle (real ones), attacks on the constitutional rights of women.
Overt racism and misogyny, the non veiled threats to destroy his political opposition.
Whether you think these things are problematic or not is a different conversation. Let's not shy away from what they are.
Trump's support group aren't coy or shy about what they are so I'm not sure why anyone else should be.
We shouldn't need someone to actually find and then destroy a printing press before we accept reality.

You can't have a free society only when it suits.

You're a ludicrous meme. I'll bring this post back up when you launch into one of your tedious posts about Islam or summat you don't agree with.

 

[Abertawe]

Sick and tired of all these ism schisms

 

[Stevencc]

Sneaking Marilyn Manson into all sorts of irrelevant threads at the moment. Vaguely fits into Ian_Wrexham and Aber Gas's points on the punch that was heard around the world.

"Use your fist and not your mouth".

"I'm on a campaign for pain
And when I get elected
I'll wipe the white off your house
The smile off your face".

It popped up on my itunes and I thought of this thread.

I've had too much to drink and I'm being...tenuous.

What for? I fully support the right of anyone I disagree with to share their views.

Do you mate? Never called for the arrest and deportations of radical imans, never called for the silencing of republicans? Just checking

I think if Abertawe has taught us anything it's that you never go full Zizek.

Also capitalist conceptions of liberty have to be the biggest myth still peddled mainstream. Freedom for whom and for what? Freedom to fucking starve. You can have any colour you like as long as it's black.
