Should Boris Resign?

El Kabong.


Don't presume to be able to give me a lesson.

Oh I wouldn't dare, after all you know everything about me and my motives so you can't be told anything can you?

You are ignorant. You are racist . You are a bigot.

Oh I thought you never called me those things and yet here you are calling me those things, amazing.

You are afraid of words. Communist. Marxist. Antifascist. Black Lives Matter. They all terrify you.

The words themselves do nothing for me, it's the ideology which goes with those words which is troubling.

I do not need to do anything but remain calm when i point out how superior you think your culture is. How you and your allies think anyone not like you is a savage or a peasant. These are not my negative fantasy attitudes, they are yours. You judge everyone by your own value system but i am not like you. I certainly do not think i am better than others because of an accident of birth, or some kind of genius. I suspect that i have a below average IQ because of the things that those tests measure, but do not feel inadequate as a result of that bias.

Who thinks who is a savage or a peasant? Do you not judge people on your own value system?

Why the "spergy" crap again? The stepfather stuff again? The quotes in the "fellow travelers" ? Also, some here really think they have the true definition of the word success. It isn't all about owning property and houses and stocks and bonds. What kind of success are we talkin about? There are many kinds of success. Some are way more important than others.

Funny how the ones accusing 1 poster of something out of one side of their mouth, are guilty of doing that very same thing out of the other side of their mouth.

there is no doubt that there are a bunch of people who think that their culture is superior to other cultures. That right there says it all.

The quotes in the "fellow travelers" ?

@NoSavingByTheBell , please enlighten me as to why offense should be taken to my use of the term "fellow travelers" or the quotations around it?

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Normally putting something in quotes is a kind of mockery, quotes in that sense means "so called".

For example, what a great "school" that is, they didn't even provide pencils.

Well Beanz didn't want to be linked to Antifa but considers himself Antifascist and has regaled us with his history of marching and fighting and the like. And so while taking Beanz at his word that he's NOT a member of Antifa, but considers himself and Antifascist I used the appropriate term "fellow traveler" and it's in quotations because of https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/quotes.asp Rule 8a. Quotation marks are often used with technical terms, terms used in an unusual way, or other expressions that vary from standard usage.

Examples:
It's an oil-extraction method known as "fracking."
He did some "experimenting" in his college days.
I had a visit from my "friend" the tax man.


As for the term itself. Fellow Traveler: The term fellow traveler identifies a person who is intellectually sympathetic to the ideology of a political organization, and who co-operates in the organization's politics, without being a formal member of that organization.


It was in NO way related to his claim of Gypsy heritage or the like. Why he would immediately assume so is one of the many reasons I don't get along with him and frankly don't care to, but I'm not the one doing the insulting here that's a one way street at present and he's taking full advantage.

not trying to be difficult here but I did immediately think of his traveler ancestry when I read that but that's just me. I totally believe you that you meant it in the way you described, simply as a reference to a technical term.

Beanz's family and his lineages aren't the subject of my posts and I'm not greatly interested in making them the subjects of my posts in this thread. Why he would jump to such a conclusion so immediately is only his to know and explain.
