What have we become?
Weren’t you on here yesterday posting extremely goady posts?
So much this.
I see loads of handwringing & despair from certain posters about attacks & harassment on MPs & other social groupings (colour, sex, religion etc).
They wax lyrical about how awful the discourse has become. They complain & express disgust about increases in physical, verbal & written abuse & nastiness. They pontificate about 'just how awful the perpetrators are'. They virtue signal constantly about their own (supposed) moral superiority. Many words are expended on this topic.
Yet they do all that without, apparently, any shred of self-awareness.
It is the self-same names that I see on other threads regularly espousing the above sentiments, who I then witness regularly come onto the only pro-Brexit threads on MN to goad, shitpost, make generalised offensive comments against leavers (who they perceive as an undesirable out-group) & on more than one occasion to deliver outright personal attacks. I personally have been subjected to sustained harassment & personal attacks by 3 separate posters over the last two weeks alone.
If you want discourse to improve, then it is time to hold a mirror up to your own actions, and be honest about how you are actually contributing to a toxic environment.
When you do, ask yourself the question:
"Are we the baddies?"
Because with respect to your repeated actions on these threads - yes, you are.
The Brexit Arms regulars do not go onto the WM threads to goad, cause friction or to attack - so why do a certain cohort of WM posters do that to our threads?
(...And for fucks sake - you even boast about what you plan to do / have done on the WM threads. We can read by the way 🙄)
