Not even hiding in plain sight just being in plain sight

Oh but everyone knows the AfD aren't far right...

People might like this to read. These are the tech people who love Trump. And they are weird, very very weird

You can't help but feel if they'd got laid a bit more when they were younger ?

Oh is the funny reaction passive aggressive now? Sorry I used it on the AI comment but I've removed it. I might still think AI stands for Arnold (I'll be back) Schwarzenegger.

Depends who uses it.

And what they're intending to convey by it. That poster was using it to goad, which is why she's got bored and is trying to entice people into returning to the thread. Juvenile stuff.

BIossomtoes · 25/01/2025 19:15

Interesting that you think it’s she. I don’t.

DuncinToffee · 25/01/2025 19:25

Is that the 'am I a...' thread?

I saw that pop up this morning and decided it wasn't worth my time.

Is the AfD still arguing the SS weren't criminals?

When you are too far right for Le Pen.

Apparently (according to my American cousin) Musk supports “the Far Right” because the left has gone so far left that everything looks far right.

I mean how do you argue with such fuckwittery?

I have seen that being spouted on various MN threads as well. Has he mentioned the socialist part of nazi yet?

No she hasnt. I'm sure it'll come up. I wished her well on her trip down her rabbit hole. No time to argue with stupid 😁

DuncinToffee · 25/01/2025 19:54

Did Musk throw his heart at the AfD crowd?

I'd just assumed. Hadn't really thought about it. You might well be right.

bombastix · 25/01/2025 20:46

It is just the shame old shit about dividing a country by picking on an out group and then working on that angle. The next bit is the true patriot, true Brit stuff. This I haven't noticed. We are still at the "nibbling at the edges".

Musk is all about the white replacement theory. And unfortunately I do think that the True Brit narrative will take off much more unless people feel safe snd secure. That means a rebuilt criminal justice system, resolving the asylum mess by deportations when people have failed, and fgs a much more overtly muscular form of liberalism. I like Wes Streeting who has got toughness. Starmer looks too technocratic at times.

I'll just leave this here.

The site seems to be awash with far-right apologists at the moment.

I know we are not allowed to call them certain words, but I would say it is no coincidence that they all seen to turn up at the same time. Then vanish or name change at the same time. Although they are enthusiastically supported by a couple of regulars.

👋 to lurkers.

It’s best not to engage @PandoraSox. I’m not going to provide them with entertainment.

PandoraSox · 26/01/2025 10:30

Re: Wes Streeting. I don't think he will ever be party leader. I hope not. I do not like him at all.

Yeah, you're right. I indulged a bit yesterday and just now. Not going to bother further.

BIossomtoes · 26/01/2025 10:31

What don’t you like about Wes? I rate him, he’d be my first choice as leader if Starmer stood down.

Piggywaspushed · 26/01/2025 10:39

I don't like him either.

I think he is rather cut throat , has some shady skeletons the RW press would have a field day with, is messianic , and too ideologically right wing. I don't like many of his NHS ideas.
