Trump (Part 5)

[claig]

Continuation of the discussion on all things Trump and the people's revolutions

I'm not troll hunting.

I can assure you I am not interested in your motivations. I am very interested in it as a phenomenon though.

You are insinuating that certain posters are trolls

This is a very strange conversation. I follow it, yet I don't. How the sobbing liberals are turning away which means allowing FGM god alone knows. Sounds to me southall ... as if you'd blame these pesky liberals for everything. I would love to know what you would do.

Thank you for that article, Kaija. Very interesting.

Well missswatch it's not quite that actually. It seems to me that the odd style of posting pioneered by trolls is seeping into usage all over the place.

I have long ago given up speculating on who might or might not be a troll in the sense of either of being paid or acting in a voluntary but coordinated capacity within a political organisation. I have no idea how one would tell. Nor indeed what one could usefully do with the information if it were possible. But the fact that it happens is interesting, and generally to be borne in mind.

It is a pretty interesting article, which I would highly recommend, and although focused on btl comments on a Brexit related article is equally applicable to Trump.

"The suffragettes would laugh at how much of a soft bunch you are"

This is quite a strange comment.

Not really. The suffragettes were badass. The feminists of today are weak

So what do you think the suffragettes would do right now?

Maybe Misss expects feminists to torch mosques or something.
Or maybe post the addresses of families where FGM is practiced.

Or spend the next 10 years screaming outside mosques and accomplish exactly zero.

A lot more than crying on a forum that's for sure

Such as?

It might be worth pointing out that South was the one crying about FGM on a forum.
I still don't know why it was even mentioned in a Trump thread.

The suffragettes didn't agree with each other about everything.
Much like feminists now do not have a hive mind.
It is a bit weird to blame liberals for not dealing adequately with FGM, and then later say that nothing can be done to stop FGM occurring.
I think that further alienating Muslim women will have the opposite effect we would want - girls are even less likely to come forward about abuse if they see the authorities as openly hostile towards them.

Misss, are you suggesting we should spend less time on mumsnet and more time bombing the summer residences of politicians?

I still don't know why it was even mentioned in a Trump thread

Nor me.

I've entered the twilight zone

Right back to trump!!!!

He's a git isnt he

You suggesting nothing gets done squishy?

Well there was a suggestion in this thread or the last one that Trump would bring peace to Israel. This isn't looking very promising:

By the seems of things you want to blow stuff up. Not very nice

Who wants to blow stuff up?

Not very nice

Because we don't agree with all you say?

Thanks for the article kaiji

A lot is concerning me at the moment not necessarily trump

Recently read a book which sort of showed how close we always are to countries falling out and everytime i turn on the telly a conflict in the book seems to be flaring up

I am almost positive Israel was mentioned as well

I think it may be safer if i just stop reading...anything

Missswatch it was you that suggested we should be more like the suffragettes, who blew stuff up.

Oh my goodness

This thread has become very boring...

And the new Secretary of the Department of Energy?
Rick Perry.
The guy who couldn't remember the third of the three departments he wanted to get rid of in his 2012 attempt. EPA? Something else? Who knows.
