Welcome Gerjan, Just to clarify a few things first: 1. "English (or Dutch) classes" meaning just the language? e.g. ESL (English as a second language) or do you mean all subjects in English (or Dutch?) 2. Your employer is willing to pay 200,000 (two hundred thousand) Baht for the six months? 3. How much are you willing to pay on top of that? 4. Bangkok is huge, which area would you be living in?

What the fugg... https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66470820 Liverpool have agreed a British record transfer fee of £111m with Brighton for midfielder Moises Caicedo. However, Chelsea are now trying to secure a deal for the Ecuador international despite Brighton rejecting a succession of bids from the club earlier in the summer. It is thought the 21-year-old's preference would be to move to Stamford Bridge. It remains to be seen whether the Blues will now match Liverpool's bid. Brighton had set a fee in excess of £100m for Caicedo and had said they felt no-one would reach it. Chelsea are believed to have bid £80m previously.

Then again, from your own (apparently not sarcastic posts), Bill Maher - as about as <deleted> liberal as you can get - is questionably liberal to you. The very normal term "far left" - a term used by the BBC to describe a leading French presidential candidate - confuses you. And more recently, anyone who has a strong negative reaction to the celebration of removal of healthy breast tissue at a coffee store is a "bigoted snowflake" The above evidence suggests your appraisal of what might constitute "left wing" and "right wing" may be affected by your own fairly extremist positions.

This is not in dispute, and I've posted about this concerning people like Carlson and left-leaning US personalities like Jimmy Dore. What is very much in dispute is your 100% tendency to characterize extremist views as "rightwing" out of apparent reflex reaction.

Thanks for the attempted dodge on another's behalf. It addresses zilch concerning the meme-like use of "right-wing" to actually mean "anything I don't like".

Because you wanted me to respond to your logical fail and refusal to engage with overlooked facts....with....more facts? Get off your high-horse, post less and read more, read widely, and stop hating on podcasts - if that's a still a thing with you.

I think pretty much every single historian, sociologist, politician worthy of the title would disagree with your non-sense characterization. But then again, progressive types seem to have trouble with basic definitions of words in English.

Oh wow, on the next page, the hypocrisy is laid out as clear as day. This post was in response to Brit's post "But sadly I'm extreme left wing. " Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, take note: If it's bad and I disagree, it's "rightwing ", but in case it is actually from an extreme leftwing person, it's "rightwing" anyway. Beautiful.

"The kind of misrepresentation of facts that characterizes rightwing grievance politics "- he says. Jesus Christ! Apparently types that out 'with a straight face'. No no my over-eager fellow poster, it is LEFTWING grievance politics, especially tear-down-the-system "PROGRESSIVE" politics that seeks to regressively destroy the whole system due to perceived "injustices" fed to gullible non-critical thinkers some of whom has an arrogance disdain for learning. Or reading factual news outside of their own bubble.

Again, if you actually realized the world was bigger than just you and your Echo Chamber of like-minded fanatics on this website, you'd easily find out that the rest of the world is calling time on this absolute pseudo-science-cum-gender-ideology BS infesting parts of North America.

"apparently nothing to do with?" - HA! Oh dear oh dear oh dear.... Some people just can't put 1 and 1 together when it comes to blatant selection bias in news reporting. Also, understanding what the BBC is about, as clearly written (as opposed to the stuff you get in the US) takes a tiny bit of sophistication. Finally, reading the link and seeing the hysterical editorializing in another very very relevant story requires a modicum of intellectual honesty. Other than that, you're kinda right?!

The BBC can no longer be trusted to report on any "LGBT rights" issues, even when the target of criticism is a flagrant human rights violator like Putin's Russia. They've well and truly jumped on the propaganda bandwagon when it comes to transgenderism. Just read the barely concealed outrage at the news that the a Canadian governor dared to tweak a Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity policy. Oh no, boys wanting to play on the girls team was no longer automatically, explicitly guaranteed - a true abomination! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66061514 Worse still, parental approval was needed for **kids under the age of 16** to claim a right to change their pronouns -- oh quelle horreur BBC!! There's impartiality forced on them when it comes to overt political news reporting, thank god. So the arrogant cultural extremists transparently try to make up for it in any other way possible.

Very good...

And lets hope when people trash him for it, certain folks won't jump to the "anti-semite!" nonsense as a face-saving out.

This simple fact doesn't get highlighted enough. It was always interesting to watch him have Senator Rand Paul (a small government conservative) on his show, typically talking about isolationist foreign policy issues. Because apart from that, they have almost nothing in common in terms of economics or culture. Tucker has more in common with the (economically) interventionist anti-establishment hard left, think Jimmy Dore types, than anything "conservative" but it's quite convenient for many lazy liberals to mindlessly label anything they don't like "right-wing" or "conservative".

Just as in the case of abortion, where right-to-choicers pretend the deliberate ending of human life at any stage of pregnancy is just another "medical decision between a woman and her doctor", misguided posters deliberately conflate highlighting the most abominable acts against children with equating them as one. Not that I'm accusing you of feigned ignorance or anything like that.

If you truly "love Russia", you should hate the violent criminal that's single-handedly caused, and continuous to cause, immense pain and suffering to his own people. True Russian patriots are the ones plotting to take him out.

No, he clearly isn't.

Waiting for the lazy [attacking George Soros for his political actions = hateful anti-semitism] trope...in 3...2....1....

....because they are helplessly ignorant about the relative role of Montana(1) (you couldn't make it more satirical if you tried) vs. [insert random Indian state] or [insert random Chinese province] (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montana

Would this not be a similarly pointless headline: "Killing of anti-coup Myanmar singer unnerves anti-military celebrities"

Sick news from a sick state. But not too surprised it's flying under the radar.

@Scott I'm glad you posted the BBC's view on this Scott, as it aptly demonstrates their slow slide into US-style irrelevance in recent years. (Something I genuinely think its a pity.) Elsewhere in a parallel universe, a decent news platform with the reputation and reach (and thus responsibility) of the BBC might have mentioned that some other supposedly trustworthy news outlets in the US played a role in early misinformation. CBS was one, and Politico was another brazen example. [Thank you to the BM who posted a screen grab of the before and after of the article with Politico pretending their mistake had never happened. Pathetic] Instead, it's the tired old line about some fringe 'far-right' (never far-left, mind you) group somewhere on 'the internet' saying something silly - and the good old establishment media couldn't possibly be responsible for misreporting the facts related to the actual crime while using up all their journalistic energy salivating over the supposed link to Trump or MAGA or QAnon or Republicans or something. Sad.

Ban TikTok?! Nooooooooooooooooo, cuz then how would Biden win over his key demographic?! C'mon man! Focusing exclusively on January 6th. namely how the violent rioters represent all protesters present at the rally who themselves represent all "MAGA" supporters who are really the same thing as the Republican party which also is the same thing as anyone who voted Republican.... ....gets tiring after a few days or weeks or months or so. Gotta interview those intelligent, articulate, hopefully liberal-leaning young folk on TikTok to mix it up a little!

I'm glad some of us are so confident in their double-standards to post with such transparent hypocrisy. I'm somewhat shocked that last bit in blue wasn't edited out from the quotes! I mean, it just doesn't 100% fit with the bit before and after the quotes does it? ^_^
