Yaxley-Lennon locked up

[monkers]

Some of Trump's beliefs are very mainstream as you know and the constant guilt by association doesn't work.

Oh it works for you if you convince yourself fascist views are mainstream.

fascist views

Which page is that on, I've just got one of the leftist propaganda publications? 😆

 

[Rusty Nails]

Maybe you could explain in your opinion?

Apparently you can find everything you want to believe on X.

And if you continually call reasonable views fascist, well you just end up losing mainstream public opinion because calling people names has never convinced anyone that you have a valid argument.

There's nothing mainstream about Yaxley-Lennon. He's an outlier and a weird little fascist who sh!tes it at the sign of any kind of rational argument or confrontation.

 

[AuroraSaab]

I'm not talking about YL, as I think you know. The general strategy of calling everybody you don't agree with a Nazi, fascist, thick, red neck, on and on and on, undermines any thing you say and alienates people whose views are fairly mainstream. The more people do it the more they make the Left unpalatable to those in the middle. If the Left are determined to make themselves unelectable with such hyperbolic nonsense their voters will go elsewhere.

I don't know why for a contempt court , he is being held in solitary confinement. Perhaps some of the haters on here can explain?

I thought it was for his own protection?

Hope this helps. Sorry I couldn’t fit it into a tweet or short video.

Is that a bit like those on the right labelling everyone as woke?

 

[AuroraSaab]

Yes, it is, or calling people Communist in the US for what are fairly mainstream left of centre views.

 

[All uphill]

Even D Trump is very occasionally right on some things.

I'm thinking hard, but no, nothing comes to mind.

 

[AuroraSaab]

Another Cyclechat man who thinks men should be in women's sports and prisons then. Well done you.

This is the Yaxley-Lennon thread, so of course you are.

He's a fascist, and his views aren't mainstream.

I stand by my views. He doesn't, because he's a coward.

 

[AuroraSaab]

No, I'm not, I'm talking about the general drift, on both sides, to be increasingly llama drama about the views of others. The end result is polarisation and people being alienated from what would be their usual political persuasion. The Left are more prone to this, and because Republican/Conservative voters will nearly always hold their nose and still vote Trump (or Tory UK), in the US if they don't regain the middle ground it will be 4 years of Trump followed by 4 years of Vance.
