Really, that makes you Far Right? So by that definition [albeit disputed], anyone who was a remainer was on the Left? In some ways it does make sense as the EU was progressiveism forced on us through the back door (some might say passage), which people didn't want.

The main argument for Brexit was immigration., which is also one of the key points of the conservatives, so yes Brexit was a right wing decision. And since the poster I replied to was a hardcore Brexiteer, that makes him far right

Absolutely immigration and that is part of progressiveism, but the converse does not apply, being opposed to mass immigration does not make you right wing, it just means you are sensible.. If Mad Merkel hadn't invited millions to the EU the vote would almost certainly not have been in favour of Brexit, she swung it. The electorate knew that once they got their EU passports they could come to the UK and the end of her madness was not in sight. She will go down in history as an utterly hated figure.

Wrong

 

The main arguments were

 

1. A Trading block, morphing by stealth into a Political and Monetary Union.

 

2. The Free movement of workers that morphed into the free movement of people.

 

3. A one size fits all, never works anywhere.

 

4. Democracy.

 

5 Accountability

 

Should have stopped at Common Market, rather than morphing into a Political and Monetary Union.

Quite, when we voted to "stay in the common market", we were not knowingly voting for the above, especially half of Eastern Europe coming over.

I have a feeling that many of the pro EU people, are not old enough to remember the Common Market, or the vote to stay in the Common Market in '75

What we have here, as usual, is one of a few old leftist harpies enjoying gossiping. Grok (now free on X), relates the reasons:

 

Gossips enjoy gossiping for several psychological and social reasons:

 

1. Social Bonding: Sharing gossip can act as a form of social currency, strengthening bonds between people by sharing secrets or information that others might not know. It creates a sense of community or an "in-group" feeling where trust is assumed among the sharers.
2. Entertainment and Excitement: Gossip can be inherently entertaining. It often involves stories that are dramatic or surprising, providing a break from daily routine or mundane tasks. This excitement can be a form of escapism, where individuals get to experience the thrill of narratives without direct involvement.
3. Self-Esteem Boost: People sometimes gossip to feel better about themselves by comparison. If the gossip involves someone else's misfortune or mistakes, it can make the gossiper feel superior or more competent by comparison.
4. Power and Control: Gossip can give individuals a sense of power or control over social dynamics. By knowing and spreading information, one can influence others' perceptions or even the social standing of those being gossiped about.
5. Validation and Attention: Gossip can serve as a way to validate one's own beliefs or to gain attention from peers. If others engage with the gossip, it can affirm the gossiper's social standing or the relevance of their information.
6. Social Learning: Gossip can also have an informative function, teaching people about social norms, what behaviors are rewarded or punished within a community. It helps in understanding the social environment better, like who can be trusted, who is in favor, or how one should behave to fit in.
7. Relief of Boredom: For some, gossiping is simply a way to pass time or to avoid boredom. It's a social activity that can fill conversational gaps.
8. Evolutionary Perspective: From an evolutionary standpoint, gossip might have developed as a tool for social survival. Understanding the dynamics of one's group, including alliances and enmities, could have been crucial for survival in ancestral environments.

 

However, while gossip can serve these functions, it also comes with risks like damaging relationships, creating a culture of mistrust, or betraying confidences. Thus, while it has its allure, the enjoyment of gossip is often tempered by its potential negative consequences.

I just found out they are called NPC's

 

NPC is a slang term that stands for "Non-Player Character". It's used in gaming slang, but it's also used in online discussions to describe someone who: Lacks individuality or critical thinking, Parrots mainstream opinions, and Behaves predictably.

OK, so you are British, starting threads about Trump. Still obbsessed with the guy, even though he is not the leader of each country you are tied to.

 

Like anyone else on this forum I can bring to the fore articles which question trump's decisions and attitudes, just as you do concerning the trump opposition. I do believe trump and his nominees represent a serious threat to world trade and democracy and unless he tempers his attitude more conflicts. Hopefully I am wrong, we will see...

Thank you for confirming that Trump and  Vance were telling lies! 😆

 

According to your source, she's not Haitian and she doesn't live in Springfield, which was the MAGA claim.

You are parsing hairs. Who cares what their passports say, what they identify as or where they were born. Fact is Trump said some people are eating pets, the left threw a wobbly and denied it could happen, then photos and documentation proving it dropped.

Their eating the cats, eating the dogs helped DJT get elected. Cool

Anyway, enough of perjorative commentary about far right supporters, I'm sure that there were some jolly fine people present!

 

Interesting that they were chanting, acclaiming victory in German. "Sieg Heil" perhaps?
