Thank you for the support Traffig
You pretty much nailed it with that post. I think I have been called everything under the sun now, and by people that simply melt back into anonymity afterwards.
I stand by my words - and am prepared to die by them too.
I've picked my hill... and shall offer up a fearsome defence of my own particular point of view.
I'm begging for someone to prove me wrong, but that doesn't appear to be forthcoming from any quarter.
I have quite the collection of slurs now, and they simply don't effect me because there is absolutely no truth to them.
I'm opposed to bad ideas - just that. Nothing more... and I happen to thing that - for all it's faults, our capitalist Western Civilisation is the very, very best that Humankind has thus far come up with.
It's not perfect, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it is far too precious to sacrifice to the mass insanity of Marxism, in any shape or form.
Here's a thought experiment:
Think about your life. Each and ever single aspect of it. Your home, your work - how you travel... what you eat. Your clothes, your entertainment, your gadgets. Right down to the smallest thing.
Now think of the production lies that brought it all to you. Think of the line management involved - the jobs, the families reliant on those wages - the children of those families.
Think of the R&D and research and invention, creation and construction of it - all of it. Think of the time and effort put in just to provide you with the life yo enjoy - even at the very lowest rungs of Western Society.
Think about how easy your life is compared to that of your own parents and grandparents. Think of how much poverty has already been eradicated, and continues apace right across the world.
No other system has brought so much peace and prosperity to so many in such a short space of time.
Think of the young men that fought and died to bring us these freedoms... those that died fighting TRUE tyranny. Their bravery, their sacrifice.
No, it's not perfect - it's a work in progress, one that we continue together, good Men and Women working in harmony to the benefit of their families and of Humankind itself.
This modern notion of 'progressive', as ever with the radical Marxist Left is a misnomer - it means the opposite. If you think that wiping out women as a class of Humanity is 'progressive', then maybe you really do need your head examined. It is retrograde, regressive and oppressive, no matter what the paid for shills of the Neoliberal elites tell you as they attempt to stock the fires of the politics of envy in you mind and hatred in your heart.
What we have built here in the West is remarkable - incredible. Black white, yellow brown and red - together.... with plenty of hiccups along the way - we are now more actually civilised now then ever before.
Are you willing to risk it all? To throw the proverbial baby out with the bathwater for some perceived slight that you have been told to feel?
For envy? Jealously? Rage? Revenge?
Think on ladies, I implore you - when you flick the switch, the light comes on and you think nothing of it.
Now look at Venezuela.
Think long and hard, please, about just what it is you choose to protest about. Good men are not the enemy, they may be course and boorish at times... the bad men are the likes of Weinstein - and the very worst women, those that would protect someone like him.
All the rules are changing now, the ground has shifted - and we are ALL prone to being played.
Don't be fooled into selling yourselves and the future of your children down the river for some specious perceived short-term gain.
You have the entire world to lose... and Humanity is counting on you to make the right decision.
