    That’s still an oversimplification. In reality political opinion varies across a spectrum; it’s not just hard left, hard right, or no opinion. My own views for example are a little left of centre with a leaning towards liberty (i.e. away from authoritarian). So of course I get called a nazi by the hard left, and a tankie by the hard right, both of which are utter nonsense.

      Interesting. Tell me, what’s your opinion on the banning of Palestinian Action?

        I can answer this now we’ve got some additional information: Male PA activist strikes female PC with a sledge hammer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g54g1r15eo

        PA refused to denounce this individual but instead claimed this was planned, intentional, and will be repeated in future.

        Ban = Quite Right.

        If it was just property destruction then a ban would probably have been a bit excessive but GBH changes that equation drastically. That PC could have been killed for just doing her job. This is absolutely not acceptable, and PA supporters* need to be ashamed of themselves.

        *As distinct from “Palestine supporters”. Still nothing wrong with protesting in favour of a misogynistic, homophobic, antidemocratic, murderous cult, although it’s beyond me why anyone in the West would want to.

          Ban = Quite Right.

          So you don’t actually “lean away from authoritarian” at all, you just want it to be wielded against your own political enemies.

          Ah, so you are, in fact, a genocidal fascist. I suppose it makes sense why you lied then.

            All societies need rules to function, even whatever tankie paradise you believe you occupy. Break those rules at your peril.

            Unless of course you’re telling me you live in a society which doesn’t sanction anyone at all even if they commit GBH against law enforcement.

            Those four terms can be derived directly from observation of Hamas’ behaviour. There’s no genocidal fascist here.

              Lol. Yeah, you sound really “anti authoritarian”.

              No one mentioned Hamas, fascist. You condemned anti-genocide protesters because you consider the target of the genocide to be collectively deserving of extermination.

                Well whatever I am, you just outed yourself as someone who is OK with men who attack women with sledgehammers.

                Yell Nazi at me all you want. But it’s your moral compass at fault here, not mine.

                  removed, you’re the one with the moral compass that thinks genocide is a good thing
